300 to 185 with A1c improvement is the full picture that matters most - what's your current routine?

The distinction between reconstituted and lyophilized Reta matters for storage - lyo vials go in the freezer, but reconstituted Reta doesn't handle freezing as well as tirz does, so the fridge-only window is the practical constraint for reconstituted vials. For stacking alongside Reta at 2.5mg...

The visibility piece being about how you carry yourself rather than what you weigh is accurate in every context I've watched over time. The goal weight milestone is real but the confidence shift tends to precede it - most people who reach goal report that the internal change happened months...

I agree with Reese_2007 - the important thing is that the scale is moving DOWN. I've been on this for over a year and lost about 35 lbs. Some people lose faster, some slower. Don't compare yourself!

Awesome!

wake up not hungry and skip eating til 2pm easy. full lunch and almost don't need anything til next day except a small bite at 7. but start small in the morning and i can't stop, get HUNGRY.

hit goal weight last year and two people i hadn't seen in a while asked if i was sick when they found out i'd lost 45 pounds. comments stuck with me for a bit, made me feel weird about it. but outside those awkward moments, everyone's been great and honestly i'm savoring the attention even if...

Off mounjaro for 6 months. Hunger came back, some cravings crept in but I only give in once a week. Kept up portion control and healthy eating, lost another 20 lbs since march (had gallbladder out). You have to take control. Weight loss after stopping is possible.

My Withings scale is fine for weight tracking but the visceral fat readings are wildly off for me. Body fat % seems more accurate tho. App is nice and easy to use. I like the forecasting feature, but I wouldn't jump for their top model.

Found this info online about storing opened BAC water: keep it at 36-46°F (never freeze, messes with the vial). It's got benzyl alcohol which slows bacteria but doesn't keep it sterile forever. Don't risk anything that's sat for years.

You can definitely keep using it.

I have a 4mg pen and dose 0.25mg until the pen is empty. It lasts about 16 weeks. The pharmacist said it was okay as long as it's clear. People do this with insulin too.

I've heard some people inject peptides like BPC-157 right near the injury site. Does anyone do that with Reta? I'm dealing with some nagging shoulder pain and wondering if injecting closer would help at all?

Reta can raise your resting heart rate. I've noticed that if I inject too close to bedtime, my heart races, and I can't sleep. No issues when I inject earlier!

That's an amazing way to describe it! Congratulations on the lifestyle changes!
