6 business days to a US warehouse delivery is reasonable. Wrong product fulfilled is the real test of vendor reliability - the follow-through on rectifying it is the actual signal. DSIP as a freebie in the meantime is a decent mitigation.

MWF with weekends off works. Log it the moment you inject.

An allergy panel is the right first move. The elimination diet angle is a separate path from site reactions - localized bumps that grow and spread point to injection hypersensitivity more than systemic food sensitivity.

hospira is made under clean conditions with solid ratios and standards. off-brand peptides are a crapshoot - most tested vials came back bad. search around here, there's tons of threads on diy mixing and how to do it right. for most of the world outside the US it's either that or just using...

pure weight's not a great measure cause different body sizes have different healthy weights. bmi works better and has problems too but it's solid enough for most people. comparing yourself to healthy body fat ranges or bmi targets is smart — getting there makes a real difference in how you feel.

What protein though? Whey gives me diarrhea. Too much casein/cheese clogs you up—harder to break down. Whole meat dissolves easy. Add fat and betaine HCL with pepsin to help digest protein. Too much fiber backs you up—fermented veggies instead of raw, bacteria helps your gut.

the problem isn't the sugar, it's the insulin your body needs to keep it down. insulin messes with everything else. i'm on the ss31/mots-c/nad+ stack now for mitochondrial stuff because my fasting sugar's low but insulin's high.

There's an update about the endotoxin issue if you want to stay informed on what happened.

It might be worth experimenting with. Add like 100-200 calories a day, focusing on protein and complex carbs, and see if that makes a difference after a week or two. You might be surprised!

It could be that you're not eating enough. HIIT is a big calorie burner. Those workouts could easily torch 500-700 calories depending on the intensity and duration. Consuming only 1400 calories might actually make your body want to hang onto every last bit. Could also depend on your starting weight.

I saw someone on another forum post their face gains. Said they started injections back in April at like 230 lbs and are now under 200! Said they didn't notice at first!

It's wonderful to hear you've embraced the change; that's a major accomplishment.

I'm sharing a before and after, but it's more than just appearances. A big worry for me starting this journey was that altering my physique would alter my heart. I feared I'd morph into someone who sneered at their former self, or judged those still carrying extra weight. I got this fear from a...

You bet! I saw someone on Reddit drop almost 90 lbs using meds like Ozempic. They said their social life totally changed!

You look great either way. Congrats on all your successes.
