Getting your head in the right place first is what separates the second attempt from the first - good luck.

First week numbers include a lot of water and glycogen shift - the sustained pace shows up better around week 4.

376 to 290 is the kind of result that earns the emotional checkup - 86 pounds changes how you move through everything.

dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, refined sugar — those were my biggest inflammation culprits. i couldn't understand the night pain till i cut them. my joints hurt so bad i couldn't work. aip made a huge difference. turns out living in pain wasn't just 'how it is.'

Started w/ a goal of 225 but adjusted it multiple times til i felt happy and healthy. don't lock in a number right away — you've got room to figure it out as you go. sounds like you're doing amazing!

How do you all define goal weight versus ideal weight? I'm 180cm, 104kg now. Ideal says 71kg but that's 33kg down from start and seems huge. Should I aim for a compromise like 80kg or push to ideal? What's realistic?

It won't be obvious until you've lost around 20% of your starting weight. But keep measuring because sometimes the scale stays the same, but inches come off.

that can feel like low blood sugar or dehydration on GLP-1s. track timing, what you ate the night before, fluids for a week, then share the pattern with your prescriber.

The more you weigh, the more you have to lose before it's visually obvious. Happened to me too. Once you get to a certain point, the losses are way more noticeable. Don't give up hope! The scale is proof it's working, even if you can't see it yet.

Keep it up! Some people are able to lose the weight, but the real trick is keeping it off after you stop the meds. Are you thinking about a long term strategy?

That's a really good job

peptides keep forever but syringes, bac, wipes don't last long. at 40 next month, if this stuff's still around i gotta figure out social security before i order more.

If you're using 31 gauge needles, good luck. 30 gauge or bigger should handle it. not worried about air in BAC water—more air just means more oxygen for benzoic acid to oxidize over time.

Also, prioritize sleep as much as possible. Sometimes the indigestion and nausea make it difficult but good sleep is critical for hormone regulation and metabolism. If I have a bad night, I have no shame taking a 30-45 minute nap during the day.

Metformin and Ozempic often go together. It's even being researched for longevity. Prioritize protein and fiber. Focus on eating healthy, and the meds will do their job. I feel the same way – I know I'm hungry, but nothing appeals to me. Often, I just don't eat anything. Then the weight falls off.

Interesting discussion here. I would advise caution on cutting pills without talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Some meds are designed to release slowly, and cutting them can mess that up. I have been researching GLP-1s and found this interesting article...

I'm splitting my 3mg tablets in half because the side effects were too much for me. I'm 3 weeks in and I've lost about 10 pounds. My sister-in-law suggested it, and she lost 70lbs in a year doing the same thing. She eventually increased her dose, but she did it slowly.

Yes, absolutely try to eat more! 1000 calories is way too low, especially if you're trying to exercise at all. Your body might be holding onto weight because it thinks it's starving.

Try drinking a lot of water for a week, and eating a lot of protein. Start each meal with protein. Eat pre-planned, small meals instead of waiting to feel hungry... maybe more than three meals a day. Also, no more fasting! Retatrutide often suppresses appetite less than tirzepatide, so it might...

Congratulations! Me too! PCOS since I was 16, now 36, no diabetes though. Started Oz in June '23 and stopped this past February after loosing around 45 lbs. Had a medicated cycle with a trigger shot and got pregnant right away. Our eleven-month-old miracle is napping right now. Would love to...
