im just past the three week mark on 2.5mg and ive lost 7.4lbs, around 3.3% of where i started. the part i like most so far is how sustainable this actually feels day to day. im eating three meals totaling around 1400 calories, prioritizing protein, and staying near 10,000 steps most days. zero...

quick update from me. ive had around 70 shots total at this point. started out at 110kg and im down to 80kg now. currently running 10.5mg split across two doses a week, 6mg and 4.5mg. my weight sat stuck between 82 and 83kg for a few months while i was on 8mg weekly. once i pushed up to 10.5mg i...

Care_Wine Wonder if it is a glitch. I climbed to 10mg with no nausea at all. I did not like how 10 felt though, so I stretched my shot to every ten days before falling back to 7.5mg. Did you begin at 5mg rather than 2.5, by the way? Hope it passes soon.

Male, 46, 5'11. Starting and highest weight 238lbs in October 2025, now 185lbs in April 2026. First Tirz shot in October 2025, reached 10mg, then five weeks ago started moving to Reta. Now taking 8mg Reta plus 5mg Tirz, spaced three days apart.

Dealt with obesity my entire life. Tried basically every diet out there. Even had surgery. Aside from one seven-year stretch where I kept it off through relentless calorie counting and brutal gym sessions, that constant food chatter never left me. That chatter means running through everything...

How's your experience with the newer compound going? Started mine three days back at 1mg. So far so good. Had some constipation the first two days, but that's cleared up now. Not running any other GLP medication alongside it right now. Feels stronger even than 5mg of the dual-action one though...

Nope, ended up 15 lbs lighter than my actual target because my body settled back to where it was before the pregnancy complications, insulin resistance, and eventual diabetes that led me to Mounjaro in the first place. Once it hit that baseline, the weight loss just stopped.

Went from 328 down to 302, roughly 26 lbs over three months, averaging close to two pounds weekly. That's alongside lifting to near failure three times a week. Eating around 2270 calories daily with well over 200 grams of protein. Trying to hang onto as much strength as possible through this...

A couple of weeks at 5mg and no effect yet is consistent with quality issues or a slow early response. The 5mg mark is where most people start noticing something, so a few more weeks before drawing conclusions makes sense. What did the jump from lower doses feel like?

The probiotic approach for GI management is underrated on these meds - a lot of people find a product specifically formulated around GLP side effects helps more than generic options. Worth sticking with it consistently rather than ad hoc.

273 to 195 and back, then down again - that non-linear decade is the more honest weight journey picture. Skin recovery depends on duration of sustained loss more than rate.

US warehouse sourcing reduces customs risk and usually has better quality verification than direct overseas - the markup reflects that tradeoff. Third-party testing is the real distinguisher across all sources.

I can totally relate to that fear of sizes! I lost about 70 pounds, and still find myself reaching for the larger sizes out of habit. It's a mental game for sure. I recently bought a dress in a smaller size, and it was such a confidence boost when it fit! Keep going, Frankie_18!

wondering if he has a peptic ulcer but hard to know without knowing the pain type or location. in studies peak GI side effects were months 2-4 while dosing up. could lose 32 lbs in 4 months at 1kg per month but wouldn't expect zero side effects then sudden gut pain only 4 months in.

Huge congrats!!
