You'll get there. The day you cross that threshold is a real moment.

The 0.25 starting dose feels too low but the side effects window is real. Most of the worst hits in the first few weeks - nausea, fatigue, that vaguely off feeling in the 24-48h post-injection. A lot of people want to quit exactly when their body is adjusting. The week 1 drop is mostly water...

Splitting the weekly dose 3-4 days apart tends to smooth the nausea significantly. A lot of people find it much more manageable than getting the full dose at once.

Yeah, I'm seeing some changes, too. I can see my neck again!

Dropping from 256 to 122... Wow, that's so inspiring. Mind if I share this on the community? It's a place for progress pics and updates to help people stay motivated. Or you can share it yourself! It would be an awesome addition to the community to inspire others.
