Food noise returning after a quiet period hits harder than it would otherwise - the contrast makes it worse. First check: are you due for a dose adjustment? Sometimes return signals you've adapted to the current level. Stress, sleep, and hormonal timing affect it week to week too. Most people...

The visual disconnect is genuinely one of the most disorienting parts of this process. Thirty pounds distributed across your whole body can be hard to register in the mirror, especially if you see yourself every day. The brain adapts slowly to what it's used to seeing. Other people around you...

Food waste became a real issue here too. Smaller portions from the start helps - cook one serving instead of splitting a larger batch. Protein first at every meal matters more when you can only eat a little. Greek yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese are solid options when appetite is low. Smaller...

gaining muscle is hard. maybe easier for untrained heavy people but honestly. see it all the time - someone posts weight stalled or went up for a week and someone says 'oh you probably gained muscle'. person's eating protein, walking around, claims deficit - and that's why they didn't drop? nah.

hate doing the mental math on steady state and how much med's floating in my system at any given time. love the app for the same reason other people use GLP calculators—makes life easier. and yeah, if i don't check my app to eat i'll starve, but i log food anyway.

tesamorelin 10mg down to $174. tb500 10mg down to $127. this med 15mg down to $110. klow 80mg down to $153. ends the 30th. mia peptides is running it.

peptides don't work the same for everyone. hear lots about tesamorelin and ipamorelin for sleep but they keep me awake and i wake up once or twice. stopped ipamorelin, trying to double tesamorelin and use it half as often instead.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support! It really does help keep me going. I actually started a small group back when I began my journey because I realized I needed help. Now it's really grown into a supportive community. Seeing other people achieve their goals helps too!

Good luck with the taper Moody_Gang53! I'd love to hear how it goes as I get closer to my goal!

Congratulations!! Wish you continued progress

I mix a little sema into my tirz sometimes and it really helps with food noise. That said, the trials showed weight loss tapers around 72 weeks, so you might just be hitting your ceiling.

How tall are you, Run_Crew?

What an experience it's been. Still working at it but I can see progress now. I weighed in at 199 this morning. Finally a '1' at the beginning! Began back in fall of '24 at near 430 after some less-than-stellar health reports. Diagnosed with T2D as well as a seriously fatty liver. Super obese...

Fasting for 5+ days can help with loose skin. Also, eating lots of carbs like rice/pasta can fill out your muscles, which can stretch the skin some.

Thanks for posting!
