The muscle loss profile on Reta tracks with deficit rate, not medication-specific mechanism - the glucagon component doesn't add the protective effect that was initially claimed. Starting at 270 and down 74 lbs, the composition outcome at this pace follows resistance training frequency and...

Woah, is that really you? You look like you've turned back the clock!

I have been lifting! I need to get enough protein but I'm struggling with that at the moment. I'm on Mounjaro and really enjoying strength training. Any tips would be appreciated!

People can't understand situations they've never been in. And yeah, they're judgmental. It's not a willpower thing, she's just ignorant. I'm ok with being on MJ forever because my body wasn't built for this modern lifestyle.

This medication has proven to me that the idea of willpower being the key to weight loss is a scam. It just shuts off the cravings. Fighting hormones is a lost cause.

Hit my goal at 10mg in one year—lost 50 lbs, waist went from 38 to 34 inches. A1C is 5.4, all labs look good. But I've lost muscle and I'm borderline anemic now. Wife wants me on maintenance. What's the best way to step down? Should I go back to 7.5?

I used to start thinking about dinner before I finished breakfast, or imagining ice cream while eating my actual meal. This med really quieted that down a lot.

ss-31 runs without a pause. i do quarterly cycles: 5mg daily for 20 days, add 2.5mg of the other peptide the last 5 days, then 2 days off and continue the other 5mg 3x week. lower dose upfront stops the shock.

I'm with Sub-Q_Sammy. The confidence is amazing. My doc always reminds me it's not just the pounds, but how you FEEL every day.
