stopped working doesn't mean plateau and regain though. i don't see evidence of real weight comeback once dose is maintained. it hits a set point and holds there. the set point seems dose-dependent, and low-and-slow doesn't match the trial data on upper limits.

I get what you mean. I've realized a lot of what I thought I wanted, I don't actually enjoy doing anymore in the same way. Vacations used to be all about eating constantly and now... I just don't crave that. My whole outlook on food has shifted. I'm not strict about rules but also don't feel...

fda should approve this for more conditions. never got coverage cause i'm insulin resistant, not diabetic, and it's only covered for diabetes. way more people need it for ir, pcos, weight loss but insurance won't cover. this barely changes anything.

Started at 177 (I'm 5'1 so really short) down to 145 in 9 months, about 18% of my weight. Clothes fit like they did before my mid-40s. Only ever used 0.25mg Wegovy, tracked heavy, worked out. Want to ask my doc to hold the dose and just maintain around 145.

Mounjaro at 12.5 for about a year now, stuck around 290 (down from 410). Just started Vyvanse for ADHD and heard it can help with weight. Once I'm stabilized on it, think it might push past this plateau? Any experiences?

I've been on Mounjaro 7.5mg for 6 months and noticed way more hair shedding lately. It feels thinner too. Has anyone dealt with this? Any supplements or tips that actually help? Looking for real answers here.

These aren't addictive in the traditional sense, but rapid weight loss can hit hard with nausea, fatigue, appetite loss—especially stacked with depression and isolation. Might be worth asking docs to look at the whole picture, not just one med.

Bipolar here too. Felt some of the same stuff, especially the compulsive side. Treated bipolar with some control before, but this med really helped pull the compulsion back.

i've got a few autoimmune disorders and these meds are helping all of them by cutting down inflammation. it's been a game changer for me.

That's awesome! How are you feeling? How many calories a day and are you taking supplements? Definitely talk to your doc about a healthy stopping point tho.

I always make sure to get extra needles when I pick up my pen. There's always a little bit left over, and I hate wasting it. This is exactly what I do!

I've never thrown mine out. I use every last bit. I change the needle each time and keep it capped in between uses.

Nope, keep using it as long as it doesn't look cloudy to you!

If you're using the green 1mg pen, you can still do smaller doses. You just have to count the clicks. 37 clicks is half a mg.

There's a calculator at fatscientist.com that does all this math for anyone who doesn't want to.

Been on it fourteen months reached my target. Spent tons on clothes this past year. Started in size 18 jeans XL tops. Got to 10 in December bought several pairs. After Christmas they were huge bought 8s. Now those are big bought 6s yesterday. Never thought I'd fit smaller than 10.

Good question FastingFam! Where can you even get peptides tested to verify purity? I've seen some vendors post Certificates of Analysis (COAs), but how do we know those are legit?

Following on the topic of sourcing peptides... I've seen people wondering if 'research peptides' are safe for use. Generally speaking, the consensus is yes, people are using them. But it brings up the point of testing... is what you're getting really what you think it is?

You'll use less than half of that amount in a month. About nine units is a tenth of an mL, and each mL has 5 mg.

the forum shorthand threw me off at first reading old threads. once i got the reasoning it made sense. helped me actually understand what people were saying.
