The 15-20% average comes from the STEP trials at the highest dose over 68 weeks, but the distribution extended past that - some participants lost 25-30% or more. What influences outcomes beyond the average: insulin resistance level, dose titration, dietary quality, and duration. PCOS adds a...

The food comfort loss is the psychological adjustment that gets less discussion than the appetite suppression - when eating served a functional role for stress or boredom, losing that pull is its own adjustment. The craving pattern that remains is usually lower-intensity: enough to notice but...

The realistic GLP-1 weight loss range is wider than the headlines suggest. Clinical averages are 15-20% for semaglutide and around 20-22% for tirzepatide at full dose, but the individual distribution is broad - some people plateau at 5-8%, others exceed the trial averages, especially at higher...

Yeah, I heard that Reta doesn't suppress hunger as much. I kinda need that, lol.

Let me know what you think of the nad!!

Congratulations! You look amazing

You look fantastic! And that outfit is adorable!

Good question! Honestly, not as much as I should. I try to walk more, but nothing intense. The med has done most of the work.

Thanks everyone!

Kinda shy posting this cuz of the extra flab, but I think it really shows the progress I've made over the last 7 months. I'm down 65 pounds since starting the injections and a total of 90 pounds from my highest weight ever (didn't check for a few years there, lol). Still more to go!

For me, logging what I eat daily is key. Now I know how much I can eat to maintain the loss and not go back to my old weight. I'm planning to stop the medication in a few months.

You look amazing. Congratulations!

I took a break a while back and managed to hold steady. Volume eating was key! I found low-calorie replacements that worked for me. Like, cucumbers with hot sauce were my go-to snack. I'd eat like, a whole cucumber and feel good. Sugar-free jello was also a lifesaver for sweets. Don't fight the...

Congratulations on your success!
