Greek yogurt with protein powder, creatine, chia, raspberries, nuts at 7:45am. Lunch around 1: chicken wrap or beef with sweet potato. Dinner 7ish: steak, salmon, or chicken with sweet potato and veg. These work for my macros on mounjaro. Without it for a bit, I still aim for them but snack like...

Yeah you can totally squeeze the skin on your belly even if you're on the leaner side. I do it all the time. It doesn't have to be a thick pinch either, just grab whatever you can and inject in there. It's subcutaneous so you're only looking at the fat layer right under the skin. And honestly...

I was nervous too but started Saturday and no nausea or GI stuff. Been eating light—protein shakes, bars, sparkling water, topo Chico is amazing. Already down 7 lbs.

Fantasized about losing the weight and living happily ever after off everything — meds, statins, all of it. Then I learned more about my conditions and realized my body still has the same problems underneath. GLP-1s are powerful but I'm not superman. This is a long road.

You might be onto something with the dopamine angle. When I quit drinking, sugar took over. On tirz, my sugar cravings vanished at first. But eventually the dopamine cravings came back for literally anything. Now I get that rush when my next package of compounded stuff shows up. Freezer's almost...

I fully agree with WolfCake that Fiber plus hydration changed everything for me regarding this GLP journey. Zappy Health actually suggested increasing fiber early on and it fixed a lot of stomach stuff.

I dunno, could just be a phone filter or something? Either way, the results are visible!

I take a little bit of magnesium citrate when things get backed up. Not too much, maybe a quarter to a third of the bottle, and lots of water.

the 7.5 jump was brutal for me — three months of bad burps, stomach pain, diarrhea. thought i was done but stuck with it. 10mg was way easier. now on 12.5 with just constipation and rashes at the shot site. if you can hang in there, do it.

I had a similar experience. It started with Ozempic. At the highest dose, I started getting hungry again. Then I switched to Mounjaro. At 2.5mg and 5mg, my progress stalled, but when I went up, my appetite went crazy and I even gained some weight. I stopped completely for a month and then...

Hey BlairPlus -- don't get discouraged about the weight loss being slow. I know someone who dropped nearly 70 pounds on this stuff. It took about a year, but she's super happy and keeps posting bikini pics now, haha. Just keep at it!

Yeah, constipation is a common side effect. I've found that staying hydrated and eating plenty of fiber is crucial. I even use the MeAgain app, and the GLP-1 capybara reminder helps me remember to drink water and eat fiber!

That's a pretty noticeable change for just under 40 pounds! Well done!

I jumped into exercising right away, but I didn't go overboard. Think baby steps, not marathon training, LOL. Start where you're at! Challenging yourself bit by bit was key for me, especially with cardio. Always trying to push myself a tiny bit further than planned. If I planned 25 minutes on...

Be careful with compounded meds! I saw an FDA report where they found some problems during an inspection of a compounding pharmacy. It was an older report, but worth considering. It's important to do your research.

Honestly, I'm just trying to stick to the habits I built while I was on it: smaller portions, healthier choices, and exercise. It's a daily struggle, but it's worth it!

Phenomenal in both!

Oh, and I'm 5'9"!

Has anyone suddenly had bad acne since starting their GLP-1? I'm breaking out like I'm a teenager again :-/

Down 75 pounds! I've been off semaglutide for about half a year, and I'm maintaining around 140! Feeling great!
