A1C from 6.8 to 4.8 with glucose at 74 is full reversal out of diabetic range - it usually holds as long as the medication continues.

378 to 182 in a year on OMAD and 7.5mg is an exceptional response rate.

Slow and deliberate is the version that holds - the tennis-muscle-priority approach is exactly how to come out of it feeling better rather than just looking different.

I saw a post where someone dropped a LOT of weight...like 180 lbs! It took them 10 months. That's like losing a whole extra person! You're doing great, MiniMe-By-Christmas!

Yeah, it can happen. Make sure you're drinking enough. Dehydration can make those side effects worse. Eat something light too. Good luck!

Big difference! Great job!

Okay, so here's my usual spiel for people starting out or looking for advice. Hopefully, it's helpful! I add to it when I see recurring questions, so even if you've seen it before, there might be something new! First, congrats on making this move! Remember, this is a long game, not a sprint...

That's great! I bet you feel better every day. 😊

🎉🎉🎉👍🍀🍀🍀

Congrats!

Reading all this is making me feel better about the cost of the medication, if it won't instantly degrade at the drop of a hat and some heat. I feel more confident tossing it in my luggage now!

I've wondered about this myself. I remember reading something about them being more stable than we initially thought. Makes sense, considering how packages get handled during shipping. They don't exactly mark these things as 'fragile'.

Keep it up! Amazing!

Looking good!

Same as mine (because I just got back home from a trip!) except I'm missing the pickles

I thought drug patents in Canada were only good for 10 years and then generics are allowed. I thought Ozempic's patent expires in 2026?

LOL, this is way too relatable. Just condiments and protein drinks, basically.

So basically with Reta, patience is key? I'm only on week 2 and not seeing much. Should I just keep at it?

Give the Reta a few weeks to really saturate. I found it worked much better around weeks 3-4. I'd been on semaglutide for 5 months already, so I figured I'd already lost the easy weight by then.

Yeah, I'm curious too! I'm hoping to drop about 70lbs. How long should I expect it to take?
