been on 5mg for 8 months, bloodwork is solid. a1c at 5.6, bmi down to overweight from obese, blood pressure way better. lost 45 lbs and don't need to lose more. doc probably won't bump my dose as long as the numbers stay good.

Third shot of 1 mg and I felt it kick in pretty much right away. Cravings dropped fast after that first one. Getting enough protein is tough but not impossible. I've been on low-carb + intermittent fasting for years, eating like two meals a day. Week one and I'm down like 4 pounds already...

Got prescribed Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes mainly back in August but also wanted to drop 30 pounds. Hit max dose at 10mg. My A1c went from 7.8 to 5.1 in 5 months and lost 19 pounds, which is solid. But now nothing really sounds good except ice cream and pizza. I end up ordering the smallest...

You're right, the trial was every 4 weeks. I move up once a month if I plateau and side effects are light.

No issue at all, especially filtered. Reconstitute, pull into 3ml syringe, attach filter, split into two sterile vented vials. Tirzepatide's tough — three months in the fridge with BAC is fine even at 2.5mg per week. Sterile water instead of BAC? More risk, especially in the EU where it's common.

Okay, I think I'm going to measure my weight loss like this too! I'm down 6 house cats. Or 3 fat bulldogs.

I like that measuring system!

Can someone drop the link to the human study? The other two were only on rats.

you can do either — lower dose for long-term maintenance after hitting your target, or taper off completely. depends on what you want and what works for you. some people stay at their final dose forever, some need to reduce to stop losing.

Can't really point to any hard improvement. Maybe better sleep from the timing. I stop eating at 7pm and use other stuff before bed, so sleep's been solid for a while anyway. Thought I was losing eyesight sharpness but it stopped — back to 20/15 or so. Changed a bunch of other things last year too.

You're almost at your goal weight but still have 40% body fat? That seems high.

Congrats on your health journey. That's amazing, 90 pounds!

I keep thinking, I'm just getting easier to grab. I put on weight so my ex wouldn't be able to physically overpower me as much...and then he dumped me anyway.

Thanks Ant_Crew, I'll call my doctor!

I started T60 last Thursday at the starting 2.5mg dose but I still have 1 Wegovy 0.25mg pen left. Can I use it today?

Ok so back in late 2024 my doc put me on Zepbound and it was awesome. I was eating healthy, at the gym like every day, and went from like 350lbs to 200lbs in like 9 months. But around summer 2025 my insurance stopped covering it and I had to switch to Wegovy. Wegovy wasn't the same for me, I...

You look fantastic, but I bet you feel even better. Awesome job, and you're giving me something to look forward to. ❤️

That's seriously awesome! Congrats! Stuff like this gives us newbies (I'm only a month in) some hope.

That's awesome and gives me a lot of hope!

once your body adjusts to it you'll settle down. sounds like your dose is just running too high right now.
