Finishing dinner 3-4 hours before bed can reduce overnight bloating and make morning weigh-ins less noisy.

Going from class II to normal BMI is a real span - most people who started there were told for years it wasn't realistic. The fact that you're there now changes what the next phase looks like entirely.

Personalized dosing sounds amazing. I'm tired of just following the standard schedule.

If you want all the options... 6: Add survo/maz. 7: Change diet. 8: Gastric bypass. 9: Add GH. 10: Stop and regain. 11: Boxing gym. Most would pick 2/3 or 4.

see a dietitian who knows mounjaro. had a long appointment, changed what i eat, cut some foods, added others to help side effects. helped so much.

It's complicated. If you're limiting food (you said you are), more protein can help. If you ate only protein you'd get into issues, but that's probably okay on GLPs. 😉 Normal diets can work on low protein (if you skip processed carbs), and you lose mostly fat. Hormone-based diets are...

I roll my eyes at the "calories in calories out" crowd. If you're not dropping fat, you're not in a deficit. Who actually knows their daily calorie status without being hooked up to machines? Scale numbers and internet tables are just estimates. It gets confusing when it doesn't "work." Maybe...

felt this hard. went from 260 to 195 and the closet crisis was almost as stressful as the weight. phantom fat or brain lag is real. what helped was stopping trying to figure everything at once - get measured at a store, buy basics cheap, then take time with style later.

Take it slow on the plunge, sit down after, and expect nothing from the first dose - the appetite signal usually shows up around weeks 2-4. Starting at 0.25mg is the standard intro, and timing it before a light meal helps if nausea is an issue.

tirzepatide hits harder in the studies but everyone responds different. plenty of people crush it on semaglutide too.

Yeah. I used to drink a lot. I've maybe had two or three drinks in the last year. I also used to smoke weed every day. I haven't been to the dispensary since May. So, it's been about five months without a joint. The urge just isn't there anymore.

I went from polishing off seven or eight glasses of wine each week to maybe one or two now using Mounjaro plus some guided hypnosis. I'm in month six.

That's usually called a kit.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. You're on 5mg now, but you're going to more than double your dose when you're out of vials? What's a 'T30 vial'? Cycling Tirz or Reta doesn't make sense for most people, IMO.

I didn't get any food noise suppression until I got to 4mg.
