I'm wondering why folks are picking Reta for maintenance if they were on Tirz. I haven't tried Reta. I've heard Reta burns fat faster, but once you're at your goal weight, what's the benefit of Reta over Tirz? Is it just because you can use lower doses? I've also heard Tirz is better for food...

I'm super happy with my progress. I started on Reta in July and I think I'll get to my goal physique in a month or so. I'm doing 2mg every 3-4 days. I had some skin issues for a bit, but I'm all good now. I was dropping a consistent 1-2 lbs each week. My strength has been great. For those of...

That's an incredible achievement, congrats!

Did you have any issues with loose skin after losing so much weight, Shannon_98?

Way to go!

I've been on a low maintenance dose of semaglutide every few weeks. I'm mostly doing it because I'm not supposed to stop abruptly. I appreciate the anti-inflammatory benefits, too. I can maintain now with just daily walks and light weightlifting.

Yes, CarbDone, I'm going through that currently. I was on it for about a year, and it stopped working, so I stopped it on March 20th. Today, I'm restarting it. However, they're putting me at the highest dose to begin with, so I don't know if it'll even work. It's the only one my insurance covers...

It isn't necessarily that it quits working. It's more that your body adapts to it over time. Ozempic wasn't ever hugely effective for weight loss for me, but it definitely lowered my A1C, and my other labs are really optimal.

It's interesting to see how different people react. I've seen some patients who barely lose anything and others who drop weight fast. It really depends on the individual's own metabolism and if they're making lifestyle changes too. Meds are a tool, not a miracle, right?

You look like you're in your 20s! Congrats!

Keep going! Congrats on the 50 pounds lost. That's something to be proud of!

I am so happy for you - I have a friend who is having similar results and it is like she has evolved into her next Pokemon form!

Wow!!! Congratulations, such a noticeable change 🤩

Nice! Losing 100 is a HUGE deal!

When did the weight loss start for you? I've been on Ozempic for 3 weeks. I had zero appetite the first week, but I've been eating whatever I want for the last two and have gained a little. I'm nervous it won't work for me.
