Size 14 to 8 at 5'8 with 8 lbs remaining is where the size change has already outpaced the scale reading. The last stretch is the hardest because the caloric margin to move the needle at lower body fat is smaller and the rate naturally slows. The composition gain at this point is already...

0.5mg as a starting dose is the standard Ozempic commercial prescription protocol, but it's the wrong starting point for people who are injection-naive or GI-sensitive. Throwing up for three hours is the severe-end response, not the typical one. When the vomiting stops, give it 48-72 hours...

RU-58841 is a different compound class from KPV - topical androgen receptor blocker vs peptide anti-inflammatory. The palpitation reports are the main documented risk; frequent enough that it's a real consideration. The hairloss application has a following but the data is thin here. If...

Fantastic effort! 🎉

Fantastic accomplishment! You look wonderful!

For me, the munchies definitely win! And it seems to take longer for edibles to kick in now. You ever tried tincture? That works instantly and doesn't give me the munchies.

I agree with Seattle_Sleeper, the anticipation is the worst. But honestly, the results are worth the wait. I've dropped about 25 pounds since starting!

I wouldn't get your hopes up until you see "out for delivery". That's when it's real!

I saw someone post pics of their progress after a year on Sema and Tirz. It's really inspiring! They dropped around 55 pounds on sema, then switched to tirz to lose the last 25 pounds. It took them from August '24 to August '25, so it's a long game, but they look awesome now!

Buen trabajo!

I'm 60, 5'0", and 170 pounds. I went from 201 to 170 in 3 months on 2.5 mg of Zepbound each week. I reached my goal right when the tirzepatide started to lose its effect. I switched to 2mg of retatrutide to burn a little more fat while eating plenty of protein. If you lose 30 pounds, you'll...

This gave me chills. That line hit hard. I am down 78 lbs and sometimes forget I used to get winded tying my shoes. Now I jog up my stairs without thinking. Month one me just wanted the nausea to stop. I wish I knew it would level out and be worth it.

I've been using my scale for a while now. I've dropped like 15 pounds since starting my medications. I've also been strength training three days a week, trying to keep my protein intake high!

I have a decent model for the price. It's surprisingly close to professional body composition scans.

I have that particular model that was mentioned. I've only had it a short time. No issues so far, but I don't have anything to compare it to. I used to just have a basic scale that only measured weight.
