Did you even read what I wrote?

I've noticed that in most places where GLP-1 RAs are talked about, there's a lot of advice to stick to the lowest dose possible, even lower than what was used in the original trials. Now, I'm not a doctor, but it seems to me that for those of us who are actually overweight or have T2D (the...

I've dropped about 38lbs since January! It may take a while to reach my goal, but this is the 1st program that I’ve been able to maintain for so long. Sticking with it is so hard for me!

Have you looked into cagrilintide? I was on tirz/Mounjaro for almost a year and got to the highest dose. The appetite suppression wore off, and I've been stuck about 30lbs from my goal since April. I switched to Reta and I'm working my way up... I inject 3mg every 5 days. The hunger control...

Congrats on the amazing progress, Stevie_38. I'm also finding that focusing on body fat percentage rather than just BMI has been helpful. BMI isn't always the best indicator of overall health. I use a scale to track it at home, and it gives me a better idea of where I'm at. Just remember that...

I started these meds in February. I was worried about traveling in Europe for 5 weeks because of all the tempting food. But I lost another 6 pounds while I was away. The doc thinks it was from all the walking I did. I'm now down 45 pounds total!

You look fantastic! That's a HUGE difference!

I have cheat weekends overall. I can eat what I want, but less of it. I eat healthy during the week but relax on weekends. I also drink a lot, and I can still drink as much as before. I've lost weight (3-4 pounds a month) doing this, and I work out. Weight loss has slowed now that I'm at a...

Me too! I've been on Ozempic since late 2022. I plateaued around last winter, but I'm back on track now. It's so discouraging when it happens.

Congrats on your achievement!

Looking good! Congrats!

Wooow! Way to go!

I agree with Not_Pizza! It's so important to find supportive communities like this one. My sister has had such a positive experience with her weight loss and improved health, and I'm so grateful for the support she's found online. It's sad that so many people are treated differently because of...

Do you even lift?

Looking fab!

I follow these threads because my sister is using Ozempic (and another might start) and I'm so mad about the judgment she faces from friends and acquaintances (family is supportive, thankfully). People are incredibly rude and don't seem to realize it's none of their business. I think many people...

For those of you who are on a plateau, consider injecting into a different area.

OMG the most awesome feeling! Congrats! Woo-hoo!

Haha just kidding, great work!

That's awesome! I also felt like that, and it's a great feeling to finally feel in control. I see you are just starting out. I would offer that you take honest before pictures and measurements. You will want to see how far you've come!
