I'm 70 and nearly back to being slim again, and I don't have a single new wrinkle aside from a couple faint lines near my neck. That whole "ozempic face" thing feels like something jealous people made up.

Being able to manage weight through exercise and strict diet until the mid 40s and then pre-diabetes changing that is such a common story and the reason the medication approval history starting with diabetes matters. The OP's year on tirzepatide for T2D with the A1C result is exactly the outcome...

65 pounds on Tirz before adding Reta and sleep not affected is such a clean experience to report! The 15mg ceiling on Tirz is exactly when most people make the move to Reta. Six months in is a great milestone - how is it feeling compared to the Tirz-only days?

the same-choices-less-of-them outcome is the most common long-term food relationship on GLP-1 - the enjoyment of what you like is still there, the quantity and frequency naturally drop without the same effort it would take unmedicated. people who expected food to become joyless or to lose their...

20 pounds on the first medication, switching to Tirzepatide at max dose and then stalling 8 lbs from goal is such a frustrating place to land. But staying near goal is also a valid outcome - the medication still did most of the work. 6mg with 22 lbs down and still moving is a different picture...

The food noise coming back on every other week dosing and fixing itself when you go back to weekly is actually clean data on where your individual maintenance dose sits. Every other week may just not maintain sufficient levels for you. Once a week might just be the right maintenance cadence even...

4mg Reta holding the hunger when eating clean but pizza breaking through it is such a relatable thing to read!! The protein and fiber piece really does matter more on reta than people expect. Adding the Tirz alongside could be exactly what covers those moments when reta alone is not quite enough.

Starting at 1mg and stepping up through 2mg is a really sensible titration pace. The results not matching expectations at 2mg doesn't mean much yet - the first couple of months are usually more about adjustment than dramatic movement. Give it another full month at the higher dose before drawing...

The skin sensitivity at 8mg on Reta is a common ceiling for people. Appetite suppression not matching Tirz on the switch over is actually what most find - Reta tends to handle things differently rather than just better or worse. The second dose response varying for the OP is normal as the body...

So happy for you! You look amazing! Did your PCOS symptoms improve across the board or mainly the metabolic and weight side? I'm curious whether fatigue, cycle regularity, pain got better too or mostly just the insulin piece.

The raw powder is the same compound - no sterility needed for topical. Domestic suppliers have it.

Two years at a stable 1600-1800 with insulin resistance improvement is the long-term outcome the data predicts but most people don't fully believe until it happens to them.

A historical maintained weight is a better anchor than a BMI calculation - the body knows that composition and the path back to it is less ambiguous than working toward a theoretical number.

caremark forces me to pick up everything at cvs. mounjaro, bp meds, epilepsy meds. only diabetes supplies get delivered. have unmedicated adhd so going in person is a pain. price should drop when auth clears.

Bought 9 boxes of 2.5mg Mounjaro pens in Mexico for $2,200. With the golden dose trick I got 45 weeks out of that. Started at 126 lbs in January, down to 103 now. Dose is working so I'm staying put. Restocking in the fall with 10mg pens to adjust from there.
