Started reta last month after almost a year on tirz, and honestly I'm cautious but optimistic. The A1C improvement you got from tirz alone is impressive though - that's the real win. I'm one of those people who needs to take things slowly, so I'm easing into reta while keeping a close eye on...

Studies show no real reset with glp-1s—once you've lost weight, staying on and titrating is better. I'm at 4mg tirz, losing well and feel great at 800 calories daily. Lost my carb dependence and got that endless keto energy.

yeah i hear you. if you assume nothing's sterile anyway then this isn't new, just hits different when you see proof. endos didn't jump out at me either. timing after the recent thing matters. probably what we've used all along.

Not sure where's best to buy now. Also read I should take estrogen after menopause for bone health. Any place where I can get both together? Used to get it through a plastic surgeon but wondering if there's simpler options now.

clean technique first. send one vial from each batch to testing and wait for results before using. do what you can with what's available. hospira/pfizer is the only bac water used in us hospitals—haven't seen others in years. hospitals don't even stock it much anymore. be safe.

If you search you'll find a common protocol here—14 weeks total. First two weeks one thing, then add something else for four weeks, then swap for the last eight weeks. The first med needs to be at night, ideally paired with something else.

I've heard of people using expired pens with no prob. If it's clear and was in the fridge, it's probs fine.

Congrats on losing 36-37 lbs! Practicing my kg math... 2.2lbs/kilogram, right? Or is it 2.2kg/pound? I get confused...

Have you had your thyroid hormone levels checked?

Awesome!! You look fantastic. Congratulations on your journey!

Honestly, not enough. I've been focusing on the weight loss. Need to incorporate more strength training I think.

Congratulations! You look awesome!

Thanks everyone! It's been about 14 months on Mounjaro. Started at 2.5mg and worked my way up. Never thought this was possible!

Good to see you too, and thanks!

I realize the saggy skin is there, but still, so happy I'm winning!
