To clarify, I weigh the full water cartridge. It is about 8.5g. Then I weigh some paper towels and zero the scale. I reuse old towels, cartridges, and needles with distilled water. I inject 5-10 doses into the towel. You'll see differences that show you how accurate the pen is. If you have a...

Here's a trick I saw: to prevent blowing out a cartridge, fill it while it's already in the pen you'll be using.

I'm sure I'll run into a pen that fails eventually, but not yet. I've used several different brands, and they've all worked fine so far. I test them with water-filled cartridges when I first get them. If you have a decent scale, you can check the dose accuracy.

Congrats! I would highly suggest incorporating some strength training as you get closer to your goal weight. It can help to maintain muscle mass and keep your metabolism up!

10/10 would recommend! 👌🤩 Great job!

I was at 9mg during mine, and honestly can't wait to get back to it!

That's incredible, congratulations on losing 80 pounds! 👏 Would you mind if I shared this on another subreddit? We're gathering before and after stories to help others find inspiration. Of course, you're welcome to share it there yourself if you'd prefer.

I saw another user say they lost like 70lbs and their spouse promised them cosmetic surgery if they lost about 30 pounds. That's awesome!!!

Wowser

You're a total inspiration!

I've lost about 7 stone, which is like 100 pounds! Still have about 35 pounds to go, but I'm getting there. My starting weight was 300 pounds and now I'm down to 200! I'm 5'8". Making healthier habits has helped me tremendously.

Excellent progress.

Plateaus are the worst! Are you still at the same dose? Maybe it's time to talk to your doctor about increasing it.

That averages a bit over two pounds per week. Slow and steady wins the race! I can see the changes in your photos. I really need to take my own before pics... I never like photos of myself pre-loss, but I think you're right, seeing week-to-week changes can be hard when you see yourself every day.

I saw someone else was almost ready to start maintenance after dropping close to 70 pounds! That's amazing! Never give up, even when the scale doesn't move – that's the key thing I've been reading.

Congrats! You've done an incredible job and look fantastic! Can you share your height and your dosage schedule and increases? I'm only on week 2, 5'3", started at 185, and want to get to around 145. I hope I can see results as quickly as you!

Tried and failed weight loss before but these meds came at the right moment when willpower alone wasn't enough.

Hey I started around the same weight as you. I started my journey in March, and I've lost approximately 35 pounds so far. You probably feel as amazing as you look! How long have you been on this journey?

That's awesome, Jenny72! Super inspiring!

For the stomach, I focused on core work like planks and Russian twists. Also, just overall strength training to build muscle helps fill out the skin a bit. It takes time, though!
