Looking fantastic!

all the comments sound brutal honestly. dose increases seem too high for a lot of people. i stretched my 2.5 for 13 days and just injected 1.25. fatigue and anhedonia hit hard—been in bed ten days. the side effects are crazy. go slow.

Down 33 lbs, 31 inches total, and bloodwork is solid now. Started at 275, got to 235 on willpower alone, then plateaued for months. This medication is incredible - I'm on a low dose with no side effects. Hope it becomes cheaper and easier to get; could save millions of lives.

always had body issues because of stuff from childhood. friends called me fat and ugly even as a kid. never blamed anyone for taking ozempic but people made it feel sinful. worked out always but cravings killed me and self-control was zero. found a doc but it's not actual ozempic.

Also German here. I tried China BAC water twice with tirz and got wrecked both times—heart racing, felt sick. Now ordered saline instead. Why didn't you use that? Is NaCL or Ampuwa better for tirz recon?

fda approved new higher-dose wegovy yesterday. didn't shock me but curious how it affects the patent situation—probably resets it. makes you wonder if tirz is similarly underutilized at current max doses. haven't seen solid data on that yet though.

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...
