I've been tracking my calories with MyFitnessPal for over 500 days! It helps keep me on track. I started at 1200 calories and dropped around 70 pounds in a year. Now I'm eating about 1600 calories to maintain. It's really about finding what works for you. Some people don't need to track, but I...

That's my plan, maintenance dose until the end.

It's kind of scary to think about. They just released a study where they looked at what happened after people stopped GLP-1 meds after reaching their target weight, and the average weight gain after a year was 65-70% of what they had lost. Are we talking about pinning this stuff forever?

6 1/2 months and I am down 92lbs. 25 more to go!

1Up Nutrition has a "clear" protein powder that you can mix with water. It tastes like lemonade, so you can stay hydrated and get your protein in at the same time!

I saw someone mention splitting doses. I've heard some people have good luck with that. If you're finding the .5mg jump too harsh, try doing .25mg on Monday and .25mg on Friday for a couple weeks, then go to the full .5mg when you feel ready. It might spread the dose out better and reduce side...

Don't stress too much about it, honestly. Just focus on getting protein when you do eat and don't worry about the rest.

For those struggling to hit calorie goals, I've seen people aiming for around 1500 calories a day. Some track religiously with apps like MyFitnessPal, which can be really helpful for staying on track. I think the most important thing, though, is finding a sustainable approach. What works for one...

My doctor just put me at 1.5mg, up from 1mg. Haven't felt much different so far. DosePal, if you think 2mg might give you a hard time, try splitting your 1mg dose into two shots a week for a bit.

Sounds like you're responding well! Most folks shed around 1 to 1.5lbs each week at the beginning, when they are on lower doses.

My go-to protein/fiber hack: vanilla protein powder and chia seeds in plain Greek yogurt.

Creatine made a huge difference for me. I use about 3.5 grams every day.

I went from 1mg to 2mg after being stalled for maybe a month and a half. It actually felt simpler for me than going from 0.5mg to 1mg had. Don't stress too much; cut back if needed.

I totally get that 'running on empty' feeling. I looked into how my body methylates and supports GLP-1 because my energy dips seemed connected. I started taking a supplement that supports GLP-1 from Triquetra Health, and after a couple of weeks, my mornings were easier, and my energy didn't...

I'm totally open about it. Why not? It's helping me take control of my health. I get the 'cheating' comments sometimes, but I just explain that it's a tool to help me manage my appetite and make healthier choices. People need to know this stuff works!

Hey Shed-Boss, that's awesome you're seeing results! Even small changes can make a difference. Just something to keep in mind!

I'd bet it's more about the weight loss itself and less about the medication directly.

You really aren’t supposed to take it thinking you'll do zero exercise.

I started at 394lbs, and in the first month, without any extra activity, I lost 22 pounds on a .25 dose. The next month, I went from 372 to 350, same thing, no extra exercise. Then I started exercising with a .5 dose, walking 10k steps daily. I thought I'd lose even more, but I only lost 11lbs...

I was on 0.5mg for a really long time, like 6 years, before I went up to 1mg (and I've been on 1mg for over a year now). It was working, so I didn't see any reason to increase it. Plus, with the shortages, staying at 0.5mg was a safer bet, until the 1mg pens were back in stock. When Health...
