Sizing anxiety at big milestones is its own challenge - buying something that fits the body right now is the practical fix, and a birthday is exactly when to do it. One year is worth marking.

SURMOUNT-4 regain data makes the chronic-condition framing hard to argue with - 82% regain in the placebo arm despite sustained lifestyle changes is the number that ends the willpower debate.

Getting through surgeries while managing the early rough stretch takes real commitment.

Just bumped from 2.5 to 5 on Monday and I'm exhausted. Yesterday and today I could literally pass out anywhere. Nothing like this when I started. I'm drinking tons of water, eating protein first, three solid meals with fiber. This fatigue is real though — wondering if it's the dose or if it passes.

protocols vary by person so no single thing works for everyone. can suggest 1-2.5mg daily or 5 days a week to save money - no clear evidence two days off helps but some do it. can cycle 8-12 weeks then break 4 weeks. for most around 2mg is the sweet spot though continuous use is often preferred...

awesome. added creatine a month ago to my routine while lifting. glad to hear good results. hope you're feeling great too. cheers!

you're not imagining it. abdomen and thigh are both approved sites but people do notice differences in side effects and how strong the dose feels depending on body fat and injection spot. if you're diabetic those blood sugar changes matter more than the weight anyway. bring this pattern to your doc.

On week 3, haven't weighed myself since day 1 lol. Will check after week 4, I guess.

Rich people keep plastic surgeons rich...

Oh yeah, I forget, too, lol

Dr. Fung (and others who talk about fasting) often recommend fasting as a way to prevent loose skin when losing weight. It's supposed to be better than just eating very few calories. I don't know if it's really been tested or not. The idea is that after so many hours without food, your body...

I do 2 mg of ghk-cu every day for 2 months, then take two weeks off. Under the skin.

I have rosacea, and it makes it a little better. It takes time. Loose skin is best prevented, but it's hard to avoid if you lose a lot of weight.

I've been doing copper peptide shots for a month. My face looks great, less wrinkles and less red. The rest of me...we'll see!

Wow. A report that mentions the batch ID, the amount in the vial, the purity level, the production year, and the cap color? I'm not sure what's so groundbreaking. What strikes you as transparent? Surely not the cap color...

I used to love grilled chicken, but I can't stand it anymore. I'll eat other meats, but anything with grilled or rotisserie chicken is off the table. Oddly, I've got a new thing for bread and toast, probably because of some mild nausea.

That's so interesting, MetabolicMike. I also suddenly don't care about snacks in the breakroom at work. It's wild because before I would ALWAYS eat those.

It definitely shifts from week to week. A month ago, I was dying for grilled meats and green stuff. But this past week all I can stomach are things like ramen noodles and little bits of fried potatoes. I haven't changed my dose recently, either.

That's the whole idea, right? 🙂

Been on Mounjaro for a year and a half now, and it's wild how much has changed. Here's a list of 10 things I simply can't do anymore: 1. Eat just because I'm in a mood. 2. Keep eating past the point of fullness. 3. Down two dozen donut holes for breakfast. (Yeah, I used to do that...) 4. Shop...
