That product has four capsules per serving and sixteen capsules per bottle. One capsule gave me something, might be worth buying a bottle just to test it out. Can you tell the difference between that and the other one?

Two weeks on it and already no excitement around eating anything. Need nearly 70-100 gram protein daily but zero appetite. Shakes yogurt cottage cheese bars. Down five in two weeks awesome but appetite scares me more. Tons of water per directions but peeing constantly. Anyone hitting this same wall?

Don't stock up on clothes if you're still dropping weight. I went through about three different wardrobe sizes.

It's a tool, nothing more. Whether you use it, track your calories and exercise, hit your macros - that's all on you in the end.

My tailbone has been sore for weeks now. No fall or injury caused it but it feels bruised. Got a better work cushion and it helps a little. Pretty sure it's the fat loss combined with bad posture.

Wow, seven years fighting this and keeping notes the whole time-that takes real dedication. Congrats on finally turning the corner. Don't let up now! Were you dealing with diabetes as well?

At 2.5 for a month with weird cravings now. Never huge on sweets but now want fruit candies. Starburst, nerds, all of it. Not tiny, basically consuming. Give in to a few pieces, get nauseous, craving gone for the day. Not bingeing, just bits so calorie total is fine. What's going on?

Easter was wild with the medication in the mix. That Cadbury egg looked about as appealing as cardboard. Went to church instead and had a peaceful day without all the sugar guilt.

the fog and dizziness will probably get better once you actually start drinking more. i didn't realize at first that the meds mess with your thirst signals so bad. you have to basically force yourself to drink constantly, like set reminders if you have to. aim for a couple liters a day minimum...

You deserve recognition! Having dealt with serious depression and weight concerns across four decades, the struggle hits hard. That joy of accomplishment when body composition shifts makes the whole journey worthwhile.

Love seeing posts like these. Sticking with something is where the real wins happen. Been using sema through my provider and watching the steady results pile up over weeks has kept me going.

Pen kept jumping back, next dose wrong. Threw it out.

Please don't go down that road. Especially not at 18.
