affects the pleasure centers so appetite goes but so does sex drive sometimes. anhedonia basically.

I'm in the same boat. I started 3 months ago, and haven't lost a pound, dang it. I think I'm just not able to lose fat. I strength train a lot though.

I've found that getting enough protein is really important. I've been using a protein calculator online to help me figure out how much I need based on my weight. https://dosioapp.com/tools/protein-calculator

The meds only augment what you do and only "work" if you reduce intake. Are you feeling like your appetite is less? Are you tracking or measuring what you are eating? Weight loss in the beginning normally comes off easier if you are in a deficit. Do you overeat? Or eat because of your emotional...

Been on it 6-8 months. Taking the shot before bed helps with side effects a ton for me. Also doing it mid-week instead of weekends so it's working when I'd normally overeat or go for sugary stuff. I feel it wearing off the night before and day of shot, so mid-week timing keeps me on track...

A good multivitamin is a decent idea. Some suggest even a prenatal vitamin.

Clinical trial showed long covid fatigue dropped after 2 weeks of supplementing with specific probiotic and enzyme blends on an empty stomach schedule.

That's a really solid take. Starting with calorie counting gave you awareness most people skip—you actually saw your patterns, triggers, habits instead of just covering them up. Even if it wasn't enough alone, that self-awareness is huge for keeping it off later. You fixed the 'why,' now the...

the whole situation screams suspicious. i filtered some stuff before but not all — that's changing. plenty of places to order clean supplies, and if you're using pens, you're putting it in a vial anyway so why not just use the vial.

Traveling with it isn’t too hard as long as you plan. Zappy Health gave me a few storage tips before my trip and it made things easier.

I love hearing about these victories! Someone on another forum just hit their goal after starting at 250 and wanting to be 150. They're at 147 now and say they look so much YOUNGER! Amazing what losing weight can do, beyond just the numbers.

I actually didn't find it hard to stay motivated. If you do stop, you'll regain weight. You'll literally return to your pre-medication eating habits. So, figure out what your priorities are.

Could you inject right before you depart and then immediately after you return?

My coworker complained about weird burps when she started sema. I told her probiotics and yogurt! 🤷

Amazing!!!!!

What dose are you on? I just started recently (but have been on another similar medication for a couple of years without much success). I've noticed I'm more tired, but it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause. I'm a lifter and hit personal records last week, but recovery took longer. I'm trying to...

I had some gas station sushi yesterday. Paying for it at 3 AM!

I've found that I get this more when I eat more carbs in the morning. It's interesting. Not saying carbs are bad, just something I've noticed. I'm way more prone to head hunger if I start my day with them or have a big carb meal. I'll be full, but still looking for more an hour later. I noticed...

I've also found that walking for a few minutes after eating helps. It's a small thing, but I think it aids digestion and reduces the burping. I know it's not a cure-all, but it's worth a shot!

That's amazing! It's not just about the weight loss, it's about the health improvements too. I saw someone mention their comorbidities improved a lot after a year. Gives me hope!
