Similar starting weight here, currently at 160 or so. The loose skin question depends a lot on how long you've maintained weight at various levels, not just the end weight. Strength training makes a real difference in how it settles over time.

11 lbs in 3.5 weeks without changing diet is a clean signal that the medication is active. The mild queasiness in the first month is the most common side effect at the starting dose - most people find it settles by week 4-6 and the trade-off with the appetite suppression is usually very manageable.

60+ lbs from summer '25 is a strong semaglutide result. The sweet craving at 2.5mg when you already dislike sweets is a known pattern at that dose range - the leptin and appetite signaling can temporarily produce cravings for things outside your normal intake as the system recalibrates. Usually...

0.79/mg for a first purchase lands at the higher end of the community range but is reasonable for an initial order without established trust. Per-mg cost on subsequent orders drops once you have crypto set up and a vendor relationship.

Started Ozempic a couple years back at 180 lbs and 5'2. Now sitting at 130-140 range. Clothes sizes went from 16 down to 10-12. The weight on paper wasn't huge but the difference in daily life is massive. People I haven't seen in ages say I look totally different now.

what made you start? insulin and weight mostly. hate the idea of bariatric surgery tho — my sister had it and regained the weight but still has all the secondary stuff like temp regulation issues, can't eat normal speed anymore. basically mutilates your stomach. it's rough but waiting for the...

stacked mots-c and one of those compounds subq and dropped about 20 lbs in 2 months plus more energy. wife won't do needles but wants to try oral route. anyone had luck with that without the injection?

This is happening to me too! Except, for me, it's dried apricots, lol. I have a theory that our bodies are trying to trick us into eating more since we're eating so little. I have some breakfast, a protein shake for lunch, and try to eat a balanced dinner (protein, carbs, veggies). I've noticed...

can't claim hashimoto's is cured without lab work. some people barely feel symptoms. most of the pain from hashimoto comes from inflammation - you accidentally knocked that out by losing weight now.

couldn't do dose 3 yesterday. the nausea and puking at night is making me miserable, plus the burping and feeling like there's an air bubble stuck up there all the time. tried pepcid, tums, light meals, sipping water—rules everywhere and nothing's working. how do people tough this out?

There's a thread about failed endotoxin tests on a specific batch from January if you're concerned about quality.

been on the same pep stack about 3 weeks now. same time each night, half hour before sleep. sleep quality's gone way up. just curious what everyone else's protocol looks like.

Thanks everyone!! It means a lot to have your support! I was feeling a little down today, but all your comments have really cheered me up. I know I can reach my goal!

Maybe that's what's going on with me? I had my third dose a few days ago, and since then the food thoughts are constant. 🤔

went from 255 down to 207, then leaned out more. was injecting twice a week and the weight just fell off. tried timing my doses around meals for better control, and it's been game-changing for how i look and feel. sitting around 235 now.

I actually felt it on day one, but I'm not sure if it was placebo or what. I'm still on the starting dose. I feel kinda full the first few days after the shot but then it wears off. Hopefully going up will help!

It's really good especially if you have PCOS. I have it too and I never got why I had to be forced to eat and struggle to lose. We should start a discord for people with PCOS on these meds. Others just don't get it.

grab sterile water or saline for injection—brand name if you can. you've got a solid month, maybe even 8 weeks according to some experts, though they won't officially say so. doesn't matter what anyone else tells you about two-week limits.

Yes, it's the worst right before! So annoying and yes I want to eat too!

Very impressive. I bet you feel better, too.
