Same height and landing spot and still finding more room to go is the experience the OP is heading toward. The 'still feels fat at goal weight' shift happens to a lot of people who set their goal when they were much heavier. 5 lbs from 130 and the feeling will probably still shift further...

8 lbs from goal and already planning the maintenance dose is exactly the right mindset!! Tirz 5mg stepping down gradually is the smart approach. So close to the finish line - this is going to be an amazing update post when you get there!!

Cagri adding what Reta alone wasn't covering for food noise is exactly the combo that keeps coming up in these discussions! The nausea question is worth separating from the hunger question - if the nausea is the main problem, switching from Tirz might solve it even if Reta alone isn't enough.

Magnesium citrate at 200-400mg before bed is the most consistent fix people report for constipation on these medications - it works with the slower GI motility rather than against it. The raw fruit approach works for some but can cause cramping if the digestive system is already sluggish from...

The BP reduction that forces a medication adjustment is one of the less-discussed GLP-1 outcomes - the metabolic cascade goes beyond appetite suppression. 105/47 is low enough to flag for a pre-surgery review, but the med adjustment cleared it. That's the mechanism working across multiple systems.

Fear of titrating down at goal is common - the med feels like it's holding the result. Standard move: drop one dose, hold 4-6 weeks, monitor. Most people find a lower maintenance dose rather than stopping.

Same boat. Fell asleep sorting laundry two days ago while sitting on the floor because I was so weak. Been insane. Can hardly walk between rooms without needing a rest. Tested my O2, BP, and blood sugar—all normal. But I'm absolutely zonked. Like first week of keto except it won't quit. Making...

did you taper down before stopping? i've been running lower doses for two weeks and switching to half a dose this monday before traveling for a month. keeping up the gym but honestly nervous about weight creeping back while i'm away.

Two months in, still at .25. Appetite tanked, food noise is gone. I exercise a decent amount — scared of losing muscle — and bumped up protein. Trying to stay here until I hit my goals. Already dropped a size.

use a clean surface, stainless steel if you can, wipe with alcohol first. wash hands and arms, wear gloves, spray those too. wear a mask so you're not breathing on things. only open sterile syringes right before you use them. you could also grab a tabletop laminar flowhood with hepa for like...

Your hair is gorgeous!

It's so weird when you grab a shirt you think will be snug, and it's suddenly loose!

down 60 lbs and finally feeling like myself again after having kids. weight packed on with my first pregnancy and wouldn't budge. this gave me my confidence and life back. started march 2024, took a little over a year. haven't worked out much or dieted hard, just drinking less and eating less...

at 8mg now, started at 0.5 back in january. never got major appetite suppression. eating small portions every 2-2.5 hours, 1800 cal, 140g protein, 30g fiber. picked up the drug for glucose benefits but lost 15lbs and gained muscle too. ordering Mots-C to add to the stack.

Using them now and still breathing. No issues so far. Yeah, you're right about making things worse, but I've got a box of 100 and I'm committed. The 13mm ones are way easier than 4mm—some blends won't even push through a 4mm. Just need a little BAC to clear the holdback.

Currently at 10mg tirzepatide each week. Works okay but food noise won't quit — it's sabotaging my discipline. Before I pump the dose higher, want to try adding cagrilintide. Anyone combine them? What dose? What were your results?

BMI doesn't tell the whole story, especially if you're not average height. I'm 6'9" and it's always said overweight even though I feel pretty solid at my current weight. There's stuff BMI doesn't account for—like where your fat actually sits in your body. Some people with "normal" BMI still...

when you start stacking too much you lose the ability to tell what's actually working. for me i pick one or two things for my goal, then reassess every month or two. maybe you're hitting your goal, maybe something else became more important, or maybe drop one and try another.

I'm on 2.5mg, started at 74.4kg, and after 3 weeks, I'm at 67kg. Planning to stay on 2.5mg for another month to see how it goes. It's still working, and it's cheaper than moving up, so I'll try that for now.

Since you're using it for diabetes, I would really suggest talking with your doctor before stretching out the shots, just to make sure they agree with that plan.
