Totally agree! Took me ages to finally ditch the oversized clothes. Still have a bit more weight to lose, so I've started hitting thrift stores and found some genuinely nice pieces that should still work once these last ten to fifteen pounds come off. Understand the body dysmorphia struggle too...

Honestly don't get all the disagreement here. We all know regaining lost weight is a real risk, but that applies to anyone who loses weight, medication or not. That said, I think that risk climbs significantly higher if someone's relying purely on nausea and barely eating rather than making...

There's evidence tirz targets visceral fat beyond what calorie restriction alone would do. Haven't come across much else on the research side though. Would genuinely appreciate links if anyone has more.

So going from 260lbs targeting 180-200 at 5'7" works out to a starting BMI around 42 and an ending BMI near 29. Age wasn't clear, guessing 40s based on context. If it hasn't happened yet, a basic cardiovascular workup is worth getting, blood pressure, blood sugar, hb1ac, lipids, liver and...

This might explain things better. Once goal weight got hit on this medication, testing revealed low t, so TRT started too. The initial amount pushed levels higher than intended, which brought elevated IGF and z-scores plus some weight along with it. Gained 7lbs while still holding at 15mg tirz...

Genuinely surprising how many hyped compounds end up falling short compared to this drug class. Just don't seem to deliver anywhere near the same comparative results. Curious what the next big-impact option ends up targeting beyond weight loss.

Happy birthday! Feels like birthday excitement just fades a bit as the years go on, at least for me.

Use a magnesium oxide based supplement for constipation, comes in capsule form, take one daily and it clears everything up, pretty natural approach. Also exercising three times a week alongside it.

High fat foods have been rough for me too! Melted cheese especially, pretty sure it's the grease content that gets my stomach. Also can't touch chocolate anymore without serious gas afterward.

Exactly, that's why I put the warning out there. Seeing people mention stomach pain but pushing through it anyway. Mounjaro can genuinely be great, though for me personally the drawbacks ended up outweighing whatever good it was doing.

Okay, ready to start tesamorelin tonight. Already running reta plus cagri. Also dealing with a shredded meniscus and knee osteoarthritis. Read a lot about tesamorelin bringing on ache from water retention in the early weeks, first few weeks typically. Also read wonderful things about sleep...

A particular telehealth provider skips subscription fees entirely for patients, and their pricing on sema runs noticeably below most competitors. Worth checking out.

Go back and read the full post. Already saw my doctor about it. He confirmed the reaction was allergic, tied directly to my medication.

I remember your smile from back then over thirty years when we were both in that group. So happy to hear you're thriving and hope everything's going great for your family too.

Cottage cheese, grilled chicken, fruit, protein shakes, eggs.

Rough diet first two weeks and still lost seven is good. Dialed in from the start, twenty plus would be water weight. With consistent protein, next six weeks should look better. Good luck!

can't believe the transformation! the smile says it all honestly. you're crushing it!

That's amazing progress. 10 weeks, 11 kg lost is really strong work. You'll see the body changes pretty quick. Just breathe, take it step by step, and appreciate the journey.

I'm five foot and didn't require shots at 225. Now at 176 I'm basically wasting. Still technically overweight for my height! My goal is still obese by charts. But folks keep saying I should quit.

My pants have gotten too loose to keep up. Got some of my old skinny clothes out and they actually fit now. Had to grab new stuff since workplace mooning is apparently not acceptable. LOL
