Bacteriostatic water past expiration doesn't fail suddenly - the benzyl alcohol preservative is stable and the water itself doesn't degrade. The expiration is a regulatory date, not a microbial threshold. If seals are intact and storage was cool and dark, it's usable.

50 lbs in 10 months at roughly one pound a week - the eating control shift is what makes the loss stick.

Freezing reconstituted peptides degrades them - Reta after reconstitution should stay refrigerated but not frozen. Max cold on a mini fridge can get close to freezing depending on the unit; 2-4C is the target, not 0 or below.

63.5kg gone. 438 days. 14 months. 1.2 years on this stuff. we got this.

Hey everyone. Super tired on Ozempic lately, like I can barely stay upright some days. Started smooth but things flipped. I'm eating enough, not starving myself. Anyone else deal with this? Does it settle down or need a dose drop?

small bruise and sore after injection, bends wrong and i feel it. got it thru my provider and she said bruising is weird for such a tiny needle, try a different spot. just looking for reassurance it's okay.

I do about 11 mg of tirz every 5 days. hunger started creeping back so I tried another one at .5 and it was like that first good dose again. I use it as-needed now when stress hunger kicks in. haven't needed it in a couple months but nice to have.

gained weight when i started. month 4 and only down 2 lbs. discouraged because people losing 10–30 lbs fast probably ate junk before—i ate clean, just too much. already worked out. assuming this helps me maintain a deficit easier. not quitting though.

I dropped about 50 lbs in the first two months. It slowed down after that, but it was a good start!

I did! I cut way back on sweets and try to walk at least 30 minutes a day. Nothing too crazy!

Way to go!

I try to walk every day, but I don't think I'm burning as many calories as my tracker says. Maybe I need to step it up?

Congratulations!

I only lost like 5 pounds since October, and I still want to lose another 60 to 70. I'm on a 2.0mg dose for almost 2 months. I literally switched to just lightly seasoned chicken breast, broccoli, and cauliflower rice this last week, but I’m already down another 5. I think that, plus my TDEE...

After six months with semaglutide, I'm just about 5 pounds from my initial target weight! I'm thinking of aiming for another 5 pounds less and then trying to maintain. Don't give up, everyone! It takes some time, but it's so worth it. I'm 5'2.75" tall, started at 176, and now I'm down to 146...
