    Ozempic changed my life - a year later

    I was diagnosed with Type 2 earlier this year, and my A1C was up around 8.0. I'm seeing really incredible results with Mounjaro. It's amazing how much these meds can help when diet and exercise alone aren't enough. Bagel_Biter88 - congrats on your success!

    Tesa turning to jelly?!

    FYI: adding acid to my sterile water for the tesa made things much worse! It wouldn't even dissolve anymore. I used a citrate buffer at pH 5.5.

    Ozempic changed my life - a year later

    Now might be a good time to focus on strength training and rebuilding muscle.

    Tesa turning to jelly?!

    From another community, they were told by their supplier to use acetic acid with their tesa (after it gelled!), and it apparently fixed it.

    Tesa turning to jelly?!

    I just saw on a Telegram group someone had a similar issue with CJC-ipa, but they used the company's own sterile water.

    Tesa turning to jelly?!

    I'm not sure, but if you still have the gelled stuff, I'd check its pH level. It might give you a clue. Maybe the vendor is onto something about pH being important: ...

    Reta newbie w/foot pain - coincidence?

    I think it's great that people are finding love and getting healthier at the same time! I saw this cute thing where someone said they gained 70 kilos... and then it was a picture of them with their new romantic partner. So awesome how weight loss journeys can lead to fuller lives in more ways...

    Reta newbie w/foot pain - coincidence?

    It's unlikely Reta caused plantar fasciitis. I had it years ago and it took a year to fix. Athletes get it a lot and are out for the season. Some days I couldn't walk. Cortisone shots helped, but my doctor used them sparingly. Stretches helped, but I needed a night splint. Talk to your doctor...

    Reta REALLY speeding up weight loss?

    I think what True_Bro is getting at is, it's a tool, not the whole toolbox. BMI is like a hammer – great for nails, not so much for screws. FFMI gives you more data, but still doesn't tell you the whole story. I'm considering going on maintenance soon. I'm down almost 60 pounds, and I'm...

    Reta newbie w/foot pain - coincidence?

    Where are people getting the idea that a dose that's a tiny fraction of the lowest effective dose will do anything?! I think people at that low a dose are either mixing with other GLPs or it's placebo. But I had luck with a low dose of tirz (2.5mg, not .25mg!), so it's possible. I just don't...

    Reta REALLY speeding up weight loss?

    Switching to Reta did break my weight loss stall too, or at least made it much faster. As you lose weight, it naturally slows down. It was way easier going from overweight to healthy than healthy to skinny. I kinda agree with Nat2004 about losing too much. Health should be the main thing. Some...

    Ozempic = Cheating? Seriously?

    I used a medicine to kick cigarettes back in '11, and haven't smoked since. I see Semaglutide in the exact same light. As medication to break habits that are literally killing me.

    Reta source that delivers to North Africa?

    I know someone who gets peptides for knee and elbow issues. They're in the US and get a prescription for them. Maybe see if your doctor can prescribe something, scale-dont-lie, and then you can find a source that ships internationally? It might be more legit that way?

    Reta source that delivers to North Africa?

    Egypt! How interesting! I've always wanted to visit, though some of the cultural norms are a bit stricter than what I'm used to, haha. I read that one source ships to Africa, but won't reship if customs seizes it. That's not great because it suggests that area has a higher seizure rate than...

    Weight Gain on 'Generic' Semaglutide?

    I've had some good experiences with compounding pharmacies for peptides. I've been using CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin from a Texas pharmacy, and the quality has been consistent. Something to consider if you can find a reputable one in your area. Just be aware some pharmacies can only fill...

    Weight Gain on 'Generic' Semaglutide?

    Generally speaking, it's best to stick with sources that provide recent testing results. Ideally, you'd want to see independent verification by multiple customers too. Have you reviewed the vendor discussion areas? You can often find user experiences and testing info there.

    Were my peps watered down?

    I was just reading about that! There are analytical labs that do it. I saw Janoshik mentioned on another site. It can cost some money, but if you're worried about the purity, it might be worth it, especially if you can share the results.

    Face gains: a year on the shot!

    You look absolutely incredible!!! I'm so frustrated that I can't seem to get my hands on the shot version. I started it back in September of last year and saw great weight loss plus my A1C improved. Then it went on backorder forever. My doctor then switched me to a different brand. The weight...
