I've used it for about two and a half years, lost around 18kg (109kg to 89kg). Actually happy with the slower progress – my skin is doing well. Some months are slow, others I lose 2kg out of nowhere. Everyone's different. Drink water, stay active, and eat healthy. Don't get discouraged! You'll...

I can't stand baggy clothes, so I started buying new jeans at discount stores. Check out those sales racks! Just don't buy too much since your size is likely to change again soon. My clothes are already starting to feel loose.

When I went from 0.75 mg sema, I began Reta at 1mg weekly after stopping sema. Didn't notice much at first, so I bumped it to 2 mg weekly after a couple of weeks. Thinking about going up to 3 mg after another month to see if it kicks in more.

The half-life of the medication is about 7 days, so after a week, you still have about half the dose in your system. After two weeks, it's almost gone. Since you were injecting every two weeks, you were basically dosing as soon as it was wearing off. At three weeks, you're starting from scratch...

I'm so over the relentless ads.

I recommend the ones from 'Dare Life' that say Core Power! They have different amounts of protein in them, already made, no lactose, and taste great! It tastes like a real milkshake with no chalky taste. It's smooth, and I put a shot of espresso in mine to make a protein coffee. I recommend it!
