The alcohol craving switch is one of the most consistent unintended benefits people report - the impulse control effect shows up well before significant weight loss for most.

Regain at 2mg usually signals dose tolerance rather than a drug failure - the ceiling varies.

First month GI on tirz is expected - fibre helps significantly. The pattern usually settles by the second month.

I weigh myself every morning after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking, and I try to be consistent with wearing as little clothing as possible. Then I average the weight over the week.

Your body is weird, right? Sometimes the number on the scale doesn't move, but you're losing inches. Try measuring your waist, thighs, and upper arms. It's a non-scale victory when you see those measurements going down!

That's interesting! I wonder what the science is behind it?

Speaking of muscle growth, I've been reading about how maximizing protein intake is key, especially if you're trying to build muscle while losing weight on a GLP-1. It's a balancing act!

I do. I didn't for a long time because it's costly, but it lasts forever, and I get a better lift and a more visible pump. First week I could increase my weight at even more reps.

Totally! Not just for muscles but also for stamina, brain function (may help prevent dementia), hormone regulation, and potentially alleviating low mood. And some women find it helps with their periods, apparently. I can't speak to that personally lol. But yeah, creatine for all!

This is so inspiring. I've dropped 45lbs and was looking for a dress for an upcoming trip. I grabbed an XL, but it was too big, it was a Large! I haven't been a large size since highschool! I can hardly wait til I'm a medium!

You go girl!!! 🔥

You look seriously great! Congratulations!

I'm about a month away from being on it for a year, and it's been quite a ride. Lost around 100 pounds. It's nice to be able to move around easier!

Great job! Congrats!

That's fascinating about BPC-157. I see a lot of anecdotal reports but not much solid research. I wonder if insurance would ever cover something like that.

Great article, thank you so much for sharing. It helps me understand that even though I haven't been very hungry at all since last autumn, and I also haven't had any cravings in months, I can still enjoy eating when I do. I also stopped biting my nails, which is amazing. I enjoy browsing...

Thanks, everyone, for the advice! I'm still torn. I think I'll try a slower taper... maybe stay at each dose level for a month instead of just two or three weeks. And [@FunkyDad433] thanks for the tip about having some meds on hand for the stomach issues if I decide to try something else later.

I've heard that stopping abruptly can be pretty rough. Although, maybe that's only if you've been on it for a longer time than the three months I have?

Okay, so I'm calling it quits with this medication. My stomach is constantly upset, the nausea is awful, and I'm too wiped out to even think about hitting the gym. I'm thinking I'll just go back to a low carb diet to meet my goals. I'm at the end of my first month on 1mg. I was thinking of...

I hit a huge milestone recently too - got under 200 lbs for the first time in ages. Felt amazing!
