Protein and fiber as the base is right - carb-heavy meals are the biggest trigger for GLP-1 nausea, especially early on. Intermittent fasting timing helps too by keeping the stomach lighter during the peak nausea window.

The gym is the mechanism and protein is the support - one without the other leaves the preservation work half done.

21 with a lifelong history - early results and the habits underneath both tell the real story.

It's easy to get caught up in needing that external validation, but Bee_Tracker, you're doing this for YOU. I know that's easier said than done, but try to focus on how much better you feel physically and mentally. The rest is just noise.

Seriously, how is not commenting on your body "petty"? Maybe she just accepts you as you are?

Sounds like she thinks she did it the "right" way, whatever that is. My family didn't say squat until I shed over 65 pounds. Then it was all "whoa, you've thinned down!" My spouse doesn't say much either; probably thinks these meds are risky. Point is, people are strange. Just keep doing your thing!

honestly it's just not anybody else's business. i don't share my workouts or food diary when i lose weight normally. i tell the people close to me but i don't need everyone's judgment or opinions.

I've dropped about 10 pounds, and it seems to be slowing down now. I've heard others say that they also hit a plateau after a few months.

My doc put me on Ozempic but kept me on a partial dose of Metformin. I had bad side effects on the Metformin. I'd get light headed. I almost fainted at the store. I was worried about driving. So he cut my dose and added Glimperide. That didn't work. My A1C went UP. Then came the Ozempic. It's...

Hey all, a quick reminder about safe disposal of your needles. I use the free sharps container from Novo Nordisk. When it gets full, it has return shipping included. Here's the link: https://www.novocare.com/diabetes/resources/safe-disposal.html Also, check your local regulations. Some areas...

I did! Tesofensine gave me a ton of energy, but I couldn't sleep at all. A lot of people have to stop it early because of that. I didn't get much appetite suppression either, unfortunately. Good luck if you try it!

Did you inject into the muscle itself? Or just pinch the fat on your thigh and go in there?

I was on Tirz 15mg, and now I'm on Reta 1mg every three days. I want to add Tirz back because I'm not seeing any effects, positive or negative, on Reta alone. I've been eating a whole bag of chips between injections. Ugh. 😣

I've been stacking for over six months. Reta at 8 mg, split into two doses, and Tirz at 6 mg on the 6th day.

I do Reta every 3 days, then add Tirz along with the Reta on the 6th day.
