Reduce-not-eliminate is the accurate read. Most people describe it as hunger volume turning down, not off. The timing on that shift varies a lot.

The serious side effect list on MiraLAX is label language covering edge cases. For GLP-1 users doing occasional low doses for constipation, the actual risk is minor. The electrolyte concern is real only at chronic high doses or in people with kidney issues. Rectal bleeding means report it if it...

European supply is more diversified so the effect will be uneven. Stock tightens before pricing with export restrictions.

Thanks for that advice. I think I probably am too low on calories, and maybe going overboard with the exercise a little... I'll try reducing the intensity for a bit, and upping what I eat.

Losing 23 pounds in 11 weeks is pretty fast actually. I think my body is just catching up, and the water weight is filling in the space where the fat used to be. I'm going to measure my waist for the next two weeks before making any adjustments. It seems like most people just increase their dose...

I'm seriously stuck. I went from 185 to around 162 without much issue. The last 8-9 pounds were slow going last year, but since January 7th when I started on sema, almost 15 extra came off. Now, for the last 10-14 days, my weight is stuck at 162. It even went up to 162.5 the other day! It's...

Yes, definitely! The first 40 came off pretty fast, but now it's slower. I might need to adjust my dose or focus more on exercise.

That's awesome! Under 200 is also my goal. I've lost 50 and have 25 more to go!

I agree with Salad_Loss about the progress pics. I also started using a food scale to measure out ingredients when I'm prepping my meals for the week. It helps me keep track of exactly how much I'm eating and make sure I'm getting enough protein.

Congrats on such a big accomplishment! I'm curious, FreshLog, have you had your A1C levels checked? That might be helpful in deciding if a GLP-1 med is the right choice for you.

The first couple of weeks are the toughest. You will eventually be able to eat protein again. The leaner cuts are better for me. I'm five months in now.

You look amazing! Seriously, fantastic work! 👏🏽

They are not decreasing prices bc they are altruistic. Why would a large pharmaceutical corporation do this? Because newer drugs are being developed that will be deemed more effective, this allows them to continue to profit from products considered less effective. Welcome to capitalism.

Thanks for the tips on before-bed satiety TirzForTheWin! I'll try the protein shakes. Cottage cheese makes me gag lol.

Interesting stuff! I'm in a similar spot. I've been at my goal weight for some time. I'm on 10 mg tirz with 2.5 mg Mounjaro. The other "DIY Reta". Lately I've been adding muscle with intense weightlifting. The problem is the late-night binge is back. The food is usually protein and healthy, but...

Awesome! I have not had a car where I could cross my legs while driving. But I guess I never tried!

That's the kind of stuff I like to read about! Yeah, buying smaller-sized clothes is nice, but being *comfortable* again? That's really awesome. Great work!

Seeing changes like this just underscores the importance of working closely with your doctor and monitoring for any potential issues. Rapid weight loss, while exciting, requires careful attention.
