I get this concern a lot. The honest answer for me has been: yes you can lose without the gym, but you'll lose muscle along with the fat unless you protein-load really aggressively. I do bare-minimum bodyweight stuff (push-ups, squats from a chair) plus 110g protein/day and it's been enough to...

The gray/black distinction is interesting and usually comes down to regulatory ambiguity. Like with sema compounding - technically legal until it isn't. The community has been navigating that forever.

Food noise coming back is so real. I had the same thing happen around month three. Timing my dose closer to when the cravings hit helped, and going back to counting calories again made a difference.

I was the same way for months, just obsessing over the scale going nowhere while my clothes were literally getting baggy. My family was telling me I looked different and I couldn't see it at all. Had to start going by measurements and photos, and that helped a lot more than the scale. Once I...

Saw a post about someone who dropped a bunch of weight on sema. Looked like it took 20 years off them! They added weight lifting too. That's my plan!

I read somewhere about stretching the time between doses, like instead of every 7 days, some people do every 10 days or even longer. I wonder if that affects how well it works?

I heard some good reviews on another service. Good prices and service.

I get bone-chilling cold for about a day and a half after the injection, but then it goes away. I just dress warmly. Not much help!

Exactly! It's a chronic condition that needs ongoing management. Like high cholesterol, or bad vision. The meds are regulating, not curing.

Yup I'm still flabbergasted when people don't filter their solutions. So I always ask and try to make light of it, because I really am curious. And a lot of the new people don't know about it, so they have never even thought of it as an option to consider or ignore. Personally, I don't see it...

To play devil's advocate, how many airlocks do you get to get to your ISO 5 cleanroom? I think the concern many have with filtering is that it might create a bigger problem.

The cold thing seemed to lessen after a while, or maybe I just got used to it. It was really weird at first, though. I layer my clothes now and actually appreciate clothes that I used to think were too hot. An electric blanket is a lifesaver in the winter!

Do you inject after you reconstitute it, no filter needed between them? I am always shocked when I realize some people don't.

Has anyone had any issues with drinking alcohol while on these meds? I'm going on a cruise soon and plan to have a few drinks.

Personally, I would stay at 3mg for seven days, see where things are (did the scale move, any bad side effects) and then if still not happy, move to 4mg the following week.
