More water! And maybe a mild laxative. That works for me.

we're essentially replacing what your body makes naturally with massive amounts of exogenous glp1. at 15mg tirzepatide that's like 100 to 1000 times what you'd normally have. doing that to someone on testosterone replacement would be wild.

Terrified to tell my best friends since we'd all been against glp-1s, but wanted to be honest. Told them right before starting, explained my reasons, and they were accepting and kind about it.

So happy to see your progress!

For those of you experiencing facial aging from weight loss, there are some good resources available. I saw this [URL='https://www.another forum on compounded skin products that might be helpful.

Hello! How much water are you drinking everyday? You should aim for around 3 liters of just water, not including other drinks. Are you getting enough fiber? Green vegetables and zucchini-like vegetables are very helpful. In my country we use apricots and figs, either fresh or dried, for this...

none of this happening here. stick to the recommended food list, avoid what's known to trigger nausea and constipation. drink the water they tell you to drink. lean protein, low fat, high fiber from veggies—not tons of fruit. if you eat the same stuff that got you heavy, you're gonna have a bad...

Huge congrats on 260 to 195. Your body probably found its sweet spot—sometimes the medication becomes maintenance mode rather than loss mode at a certain point. At 70 with that much off, your metabolism might just be settling. Lot of people here hit similar plateaus where the dose that drove...

the vendor posted testing showing 10mg that came back as 63mg, but the barcode scans to a different result showing 60mg tested. is this fake or a scam? that doesn't add up.

It's so eye-opening to realize how much our bodies are driven by hormones. My friend has no weight issues, and she can't believe I lost about 55 pounds on Mounjaro without really changing my eating habits. I just needed to be PERFECT before to lose weight. These drugs make you realize that...

This is the meds working. You ate due to boredom/emotions, not hunger. Now the noise is quieter, you're feeling true hunger for the first time. Disorientation is normal. Your brain is relearning.

Get adequate nutrition, protein is key. Multivitamin is a good idea. Force-feed if you're deficient, but not if you're meeting your nutritional needs.

Was paying out of pocket for prescription stuff and actually gained weight. Ditched that quick. And yeah easy to mess up dosing - I just found out my pen was giving 3.5-4 units when set to 10. Would've been frustrated with results if that kept going.

Less expensive is debatable. 1200mg of Tirz costs about $.20/mg, while Reta is around $.48/mg. At the highest doses in the trials, that's only a $2-3 difference per week, if you're buying in bulk to save money. For me, that extra $3 per week is worth it to keep the 6-10 pounds of muscle, since...

I totally understand the feeling of clothes not fitting! I made the mistake of buying a few things after losing maybe 20-25 lbs, thinking I was done. Now those clothes are too big! It was fun to grab a smaller size for once though :)

Stalled twice on tirz, once for 7-8 weeks. Kept going, bumped dose, hit goal at 15mg. Happens all the time.

Congratulations, you look wonderful. Can you share a bit about how your dosing went?

Both Reta and Tirz stimulate GLP and GIP, which helps with appetite and insulin sensitivity. Reta also has GCGR, which helps you keep muscle and speeds up your metabolism. You can control how fast you lose weight with both by adjusting the dose. I haven't had issues with losing weight too fast...

The novo cartridge needs an adapter, regular 3ml wont slide in directly.

honestly I'm having trouble spotting any loose skin in your after photos. also 57kg in 16 months is insane! we have similar starting numbers (125kg) and I'm aiming for 65. first shot next week, super nervous but your results are motivating.
