If you've got a click-based pen, just count clicks. Ask an AI assistant to calculate how many you need for your target amount. I run 24 clicks on a 5mg pen to land at a 2mg dose.

Here's another data point. Not quite as drastic a break as what you're planning, but I just got back from an eleven-day trip. Took my regular 4mg Reta dose three days ahead of schedule right before leaving, then picked back up with 4mg the day after getting home, a day later than usual. Appetite...

Very similar story here. Sitting about 10lbs under my target with a BMI around 18.7. Could stand to put back 7-14lbs, but the idea of gaining scares me honestly. I purposely went a bit below my target for cushion room once I eventually stop, but part of me doesn't want to touch that buffer...

Thank you!!! Feeling so much better too. Funny thing is I was genuinely fine being 'bigger,' being tall meant the weight distributed reasonably well. But gaining is still gaining, and I felt awful pretty much constantly. My doctor ran a full body composition scan, the kind that tracks not just...

Everyone reading this, name three categories of things you're currently paying less for compared to a year ago, and share your answers. I can only come up with one for myself, and that's this drug class.

Started Ozempic mid-June, first four shots at .25, the last couple bumped to .50. Weighing in daily since I'm also doing the Virta Health program - my starting number was 235.4 and I checked in at 217.6 this morning. Sticking to the basics, mostly making sure protein's covered, keeping carbs...

Shed 10 lbs during that first stretch on Reta, mostly fluid. Averaged out to 2.16 lbs weekly across the full stretch. Total drop now sits at 29.8% of my starting body weight over 36 weeks, apparently outperforming the clinical trial numbers. Reta's honestly become my go-to.

Yeah, no problem at all, especially if you filter it like I'd suggest. Reconstitute, then draw into a larger syringe, attach a filter, and split it evenly between two sterile, properly vented vials. That said, how small is your weekly amount? The dual-action compound especially holds up well...

Even though I've still got 60 lbs to lose, which is coming off gradually, getting my A1C under control feels amazing! And I know it'll help with the weight loss too, plus my mood, plus the inflammation running through my body. Dealing with PCOS here. Got my period back. Three weeks in and down...

Honestly never dealt with food noise, not even once. My ADHD presents as the type that just forgets to eat. That said, my hypoglycemia's been getting worse, and after around 13 years it's progressed into insulin resistance. At this stage, skipping regular meals with enough carbs leaves me shaky...

Wait, you're that age?? Genuinely impressive, whatever you're doing clearly works. Even with your face blurred out it's obvious how young you look these days. For me this is strictly a diabetes thing, not weight loss, ironically it's actually caused some weight gain on my end, but I'm sticking...

Thank you all so much! Found this dress at a local clothing store and it actually has pockets!

Resistance bands work great at home and can mimic a lot of standard gym machine exercises. Plenty of workout tutorials exist online covering this too.

Down 158 pounds since January. Got tons of loose skin to deal with, not gonna lie. One bright spot though, the first place I noticed a real change was my neck, somewhere around the halfway mark, and these days you'd barely know it was ever an issue.

Came back from a week-long all-inclusive trip 5lbs over my lowest point ever. How I eat now compared to pre-Mounjaro is night and day, used to eat and drink until absolutely stuffed. These days I'm totally fine leaving food behind, making smarter picks, and still having a good time. Already...
