Got a couple of one pen brand and a couple of a generic version running for some time now. Also got a couple of a third brand somewhere in transit, plenty of pens between them to drop syringes entirely. Like and would recommend the first brand. The generic version works fine too, though several...

Is that the one that just hit the market recently? Retatrutide? That's incredible. Would've loved trying that myself, but it'll probably take a while before it's cleared for weight loss use up here in Canada. (Not that I've got much to complain about; dropped 3 pounds in barely nine days on...

Got ARA-290 on the way, so I'm putting together my dosing plan before I start. Dealt with sciatica for years now, bad enough at times to bring me to tears and leave me completely unable to move. From what I've researched, ARA-290 gets reconstituted by adding saline solution until the...

Appreciate that, exactly the push I needed. Those final few kilos are proving stubborn for me. Really pleased with where I've gotten so far, just determined to knock out this last bit.

Ran Wegovy across four or five weeks, no luck for me. Actually gained 2 pounds on it. Couldn't figure out how it was even supposed to function. Cost a fortune too, insurance being useless as usual. Skip ahead about a year, a relative's running Tirz with great results. Kept scrolling past this...

Way to go!! Are you holding steady without semaglutide now, or still taking it?

Surprised you dropped that much weight eating that many calories daily. My stats are similar but I cap mine at 1700. Averaging about 1.5lb a week.

Here's my take on that: Stepped away from it for a stretch myself, and honestly what I felt the absence of most wasn't the lost pounds, it was that hush in my head. Food stopped operating as that constant hum running underneath everything, no more inner arguing about meals or rehashing what I'd...

This!! Had a smaller pair of jeans tucked in my closet and figured I'd try them on just for fun. Turns out they fit even better than when I first got them, and my current pants are actually running about two sizes too large. Sometimes stacking clothes side by side really drives the change home

Eighteen months into this journey, I'm 11 lbs from my target, so I get where you're coming from! I'd bump the amount up slightly and prioritize hitting your protein numbers. Personally I still need to work on core strength and cleaning up my eating. Sleep's a lost cause for me at this point, ha...

Interesting, I'm in a similar spot, lost 25% and stuck at 7.5mg for a while now. Haven't bumped the dose yet. What was your experience like after you went up? Did things start moving again? I've got about 7-8kg left before I hit my goal.

Just got 60 cartridges through a general online retailer for $29. They look decent enough, but no way to actually confirm they're as sterile as advertised. The wrapper's slightly different from the batch I got through an alternate source before, though it still looks fine overall. Anyone know a...

Kind of in the same spot honestly. Tirz went 10, then 12, now sitting at 15mg every 6 days. Got some low dose reta mixed in too, actually just bumped that from 4 to 6mg/6D yesterday. Cagri ran 500mcg/6D for the first couple months, stepped up to 1mg/6D for close to a month after that, sat at...

My endocrinologist prescribed it directly. Asked about starting at 2.5, and she said it wasn't necessary in my case. Maybe because I'd already been on Ozempic that long, but I did bring it up.

My reconstitution and dosing steps went like this. Mix the 20mg powder with 2.5ml of water for a once weekly shot. Started at 10 units using an insulin syringe, bumping up 5 units each week. Currently sitting at 40 units.
