True_Bro the weak and tired piece when you are not eating enough is real and sneaks up on you. The medication does such a good job cutting hunger that you sometimes forget the body still needs fuel to function. I hit that wall around month three when I was barely at 900 calories some days and...

Going from 295 to 155 and starting maintenance is the phase most people underestimate - the biology of weight defense is most active in the first 12-18 months after a large loss, which is exactly when building the habits that counteract it matters most. The community navigation piece actually...

First shot nerves are normal - the prescription doesn't expire patience.

It's good to understand the physiology because "eat more and drink more water" doesn't address it. GLP-1 slows down gastric emptying. During intense exercise, glucose goes to your bloodstream slower than before. Your muscles need fuel faster than your gut releases it, so you get dizzy and...

I've been on 1.7mg for 2 years. I bike 20 miles 3 times a week. Your metabolism will fight you, so you have to fight back. I was up all night with my kid, worked a really long day, and still biked when I wanted to nap. I'm in my 50s, so it's not easy. You have to do it, or your metabolism slows...

Finally taking the jump this week after thinking about it forever. Put on weight slowly the past few years and haven't felt like myself. Not looks stuff really—just uncomfortable, tired, out of breath. Did my homework, talked to my doctor, read through other people's stories. Seems like the main...

some people get confused. there's not much difference between that and getting peptides. found suppliers by putting in a request and getting hit up by 20 dealers. surveyed every review everywhere, picked one, hit them on whatsapp to negotiate, and waited.

It's interesting you mention that. My concentration has improved ever since the near-constant hunger pangs disappeared. I get my sema through an online place and have had a similar experience.

In addition to #3 about eating protein, try to move around more and find ways to do light exercise. You can't completely stop muscle loss when you're losing weight, but you can slow it down by moving more and exercising. You might have to change your routine as your body gets fitter and the...

Hey DoseReady, hang in there! I totally get the frustration of slow progress. It's easy to get discouraged, but every pound lost is a win. I've had moments where I wanted to quit, but then I remember how far I've come. Just keep at it, and the results will come eventually.

I'm curious about the food noise thing. Around 4 PM, I get tired, cranky, and my mood goes downhill, and I start craving snacks to feel better. I can't focus until I get something to eat. Does that go away? Is that food noise?

Congrats 🥳

I felt totally defeated some days 'cause my progress was so gradual. It’s been a few years, and I started with something like Victoza - dropped roughly 8 pounds then put it all back on! Switched to Ozempic around last year and managed to lose, say, 45 pounds. Then I kinda stalled, so I moved to...

Yeah, i agree with Val_1994. Kinda hard to eyeball such a little amount. Just be extra careful if you're doing low doses!

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it! I thought I could be some kind of mad scientist creating my own concoction. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I'll probably just get a pen or two.

In Canada I pay like $470 CAD for a 2.5mg pen. It's insane. I saw someone say 5mg is like $520 CAD...and it goes up from there! Ridiculous, right??

I usually mix peptides in the same syringe right before pinning, but I was wondering if I could premix them in a single vial to save time and space. I've heard that mixing different peptides in one vial can cause weird reactions, even if they're pH compatible. Sounds like broscience, but I'm not...

It was pretty gradual for me, but around the 6-week mark, I noticed my clothes fitting a little looser. Don't give up if you don't see results right away!

What's your workout routine been like along with it?

Thank you for this post. My doctor told me I have a long way to go and surgery would be better. I was so bummed out, but your post gives me hope! Needed that!
