I understand GLP-1 receptor agonists affect more than just appetite, but I'm curious: do you guys track your daily calorie consumption? How does it compare to your pre-medication intake?

Thrift shops are where it's at during this process!

Started my journey with a GLP-1 med from an online provider back in August. It's now October, and wow, what a change! I've shed about 30 pounds, and my confidence is soaring. Being a shorter person, every extra pound felt amplified. Now? Things are different. I'm on the highest dose, and plan...

That's amazing, ATL_Lois! I'm so happy for you. I'm curious, did your physical include a DEXA scan? I've been reading about how weight loss can alter DNA methylation and other biomarkers, very interesting stuff!

Haha, I know Reta is effective, but curing the Plague is a new one! Jokes aside, that's fantastic news. Weight reduction plays a big role in managing BP, and if Reta adds to that, it's a huge win.

On a slightly different note, has anyone had peptides sitting around for a few years? I've got some frozen stuff that's been in my freezer for over 3 years, wondering if it's still any good.

People are mad that being thin is now available to more people. Their prejudice against heavier people needs a target, so if it's not the fat itself, it's the medicine. I tell some people; others, I don't. Depends on my mood. I lost 40 lbs on my own, then another 30 on sema, which was actually...

It's like asking, is insulin 'cheating' diabetes? Are BP meds 'cheating' high blood pressure? People gotta look at the science behind tirzepatide and weight. And honestly, mind your own business. If the meds are helping you, do you.

Yeah, if you skip a week you'll feel it if you suddenly pig out. Learned that the hard way while on vacation. Didn't gain anything though!

I thought I saw something that said you don't get the full benefits until you get to 4mg?

Has anyone tried inching up the dose more slowly? Like, instead of 2mg weeks 1-4, maybe 1mg week 1, then 1.25mg week 2, etc.?

Wow!!! Looking amazing 🤩 Great job

Completely unrelated, but your tats and style are awesome.

I've been off sema for a couple weeks and the food noise is creeping back! Anyone have advice on keeping the weight off?

You look great! Slightly unrelated, but do you mind sharing where you got those cargo pants? I really like them!

That's really awesome, so inspiring!

Congratulations!! So what is double jaw surgery?

What's double jaw surgery? Is that really a thing? Am I supposed to know about this? Is it just me?

What a total metamorphosis, congrats!

I completely agree with ReconFree and Alex_79 regarding the importance of mental health support. Body dysmorphia is a real concern, even when the weight loss is objectively positive. Seeking professional guidance is essential.
