    GLP-1 and insomnia?

    I'm on week 6 of tirzepatide, and my sleep has been all over the place. Some nights I sleep great, others I'm up every couple of hours. I'm also an "average responder" as far as weight loss goes. I was reading on Reddit that some average responders find that the change to cleaner eating helps...

    Long COVID/ME/CFS folks?

    Has anyone else experienced feeling super cold all the time? I've noticed I'm much more sensitive to cold ever since I started these peptides. It's annoying!

    Long COVID/ME/CFS folks?

    Interesting info, needle-shy, thanks. I was wondering if something like SpikeNet was being developed, so that's good to hear.

    Long COVID/ME/CFS folks?

    Anyone else here dealing with long haul COVID or ME/CFS? I'm mostly stuck in bed, sensitive to light. I've had some success with high doses of a certain peptide (50mg) twice weekly. Looking for ways to improve my situation with supplements, other peptides, etc., and how to get them cheaper by...

    Whoa, didn't think I'd get these results!

    I hear you, OzempicFace, about starting out. It's wild how you don’t see the change until you put pics side by side. Makes me wanna keep going!

    Whoa, didn't think I'd get these results!

    That's fantastic! I wish I had taken a pic from the back. I hated how I looked from that angle.

    Nervous about starting GLP-1s?

    It's definitely a journey. When I first started, I was super strict with myself. I didn't eat out and stuck to my plan religiously. Then, life happened, and I had to travel for work and eat out again. But it was a good thing, actually. It taught me that I could still enjoy things in moderation...

    Nervous about starting GLP-1s?

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm starting Rybelsus on the 1st. I've had the prescription for a month now. I had a bad experience with Trulicity a while back because it gave me a GI bleed. I didn't know as much back then as I do now. Being part of this forum has been so helpful. I'm...

    Congrats Shannon_98! I felt the same way when I saw a number I hadn't seen in YEARS. It was 199.8 this morning!

    Nervous about starting GLP-1s?

    Anyone else super anxious to begin? What's your biggest fear? Remember you can manage any adverse reactions with smaller doses, stay hydrated with electrolytes, use digestive aids, take a mild stool softener, and focus on getting enough protein. I've been battling my weight since I was a kid...

    Struggling for every. single. pound. Anyone else?

    My husband and I are both using it, and he's on the standard titration, but I'm microdosing due to med sensitivity. We lose weight at a similar rate.

    Struggling for every. single. pound. Anyone else?

    👋🏾 8 months, 35 lbs. 3 week break and I've lost 1 more pound, so I'm happy. But... My bestie (also on it) lost 50 lbs. in 4 months!

    Struggling for every. single. pound. Anyone else?

    I'm with you! Started at 190 last year, down to 150 now. Goal is 135. It's taking a while but it's worth it!!!

    My friend thinks I'm 'cheating'?!?

    I just say it's for managing my blood sugar (which it is) and leave it at that. Shuts down the conversation. Plus, it's true! Why do people feel entitled to comment on someone's medical choices anyway?

    My friend thinks I'm 'cheating'?!?

    I seriously don't get why people get upset. It's not like we're trying to go from a size 2 to a size 0. We're dealing with medically diagnosed obesity and related issues like high cholesterol and blood pressure. It's medicine prescribed by a doctor! Why wouldn't they be happy we're getting...
