Sorry, but months without loss means you're eating too much. It's physics, fewer calories in than you burn and the weight comes off. Mounjaro doesnt melt fat by magic, it curbs your hunger to reduce intake, and it looks like you've trained yourself to push through that. Track calories properly...

chickpea-month651 Splitting doses cuts side effects, or less often lets you adjust doses a bit faster. Reta's half life is around six days. If you plan to raise the dose further, staying on twice each week is smart even without side effects. Reaching doses above tirz15 plus reta 4mg with none...

Another update: lost another pound. Guessing 1mg just wasn't enough for me? Can the body even plateau that fast? I dropped maybe 5 pounds in the month before and held steady before starting Reta. I'm 5'8 195 now, started at 200. How's everyone's sleep? Mine's much worse but I'm hanging in.

Today was the day I needed this. I've been struggling with loose skin, especially on my thighs. I can't even look in the mirror, it's a real mental struggle. I've dropped 36lbs since April, so of course there's saggy skin. But you all are so helpful with your positive comments. Thank you.

Almost a year at 5mg took 40kg off me, and I've only now moved to 7.5mg. If low doses work, keep them.

6 weeks into Reta and I've lost 3kg already (81kg at 1.80m). Stubborn lower belly and love handles are my target. Continue Reta alone, or bring in Tesamorelin/Tirz? I have heard Tesa burns fat better.

crispyraisin57 Should my doctor call 5 mg sufficient at two months and propose 7.5 mg, I'd rather remain on 5 mg, provided I still feel good and see progress. Thank you.

The speed surprised me too, definitely. It slowed after the first three months. Now nearly 8 months in, 68 lbs lost total.

New information can always change my view, so tell me if that's mistaken. I've never binned a vial for being too old, but with a T60 that I dosed at 1 mg weekly over more than twelve months, I feel it would just be too exposed to pins. Would some cutoff based on age and usage make you hesitate...

I'm on ozempic and sadly I'm free to eat and drink nearly anything! I cut alcohol drastically, but on special occasions I feel nothing. I haven't lost much either (7 kilos over roughly seven months) despite being on 1.5mg! I diet and exercise (though I've had to ease off because of a stress...

olive-roaster My mix: 10ml vial, 1.8ml lido/epi topped with 8.2ml bac water, with a longer needle (12.7mm). I still react, but much less. A red welt lingers for a few days afterwards. Injections go into my outer thigh, tried a few spots and this one gives the least soreness afterwards and the...

Really glad I'm not alone. Libido gets discussed, but I'm unsure about aftereffects post-Reta. I agree with your point that sex itself isn't a problem, because it totally is not. It's enjoyable, not unpleasant at all. Orgasm is no problem, and it feels pleasant enough, but something feels...

I was 360 pounds with T2D, and walking or weightlifting is what brought my blood glucose down. Years passed before my A1C dropped from 12 to 4.8 and I've lost 100 lbs. Eating right wasn't the only factor, moderate exercise mattered too. Nothing intense is required, just something to burn that...

I was on it a year and lost about 50lbs, then a supply hiccup meant about 6 months off and I regained 40lbs. Back on at double the previous dose, loss is really slow, if any. Food noise is still curbed and my intake is way lower than when off it, but just to maintain or progress I have to watch...

I tried Ozempic first, got heartburn and nausea of every kind, then gave up within two weeks. Zepbound barely bothers me at all. For me the difference is huge.
