No nausea for me so far, but I'm only at .30mg. I'm inching up so slowly that maybe it won't hit me. It took 3.5 months to go from .12mg to where I am, and hopefully another 3 to reach .5.

Would really need the basics first, your age, height, where you started, where you're at now, where you're aiming for, and how long the third compound's been part of your routine. Relying on three separate medications to accomplish what one might do can make sense sometimes, but it genuinely...

No like-for-like comparison from me. My doc prescribed Mounjaro, then my own research pushed me to reta, which I find superior and less costly. I get the same effect from 2.5mg reta as from 10mg Mounjaro, mate. I'd guess you can keep the same strength, it should be equivalent if the purity and...

Great job on what you've built so far! Walking's a solid foundation and adding lifting will round things out nicely. Agreed completely with what fazizzle laid out, and honestly getting yourself in the door is the toughest part by far. Once you're physically at the gym, everything after that...

That's wild! And you look amazing! Took me three whole years to drop 25 pounds on MJ and you're only running 2.5mg?! Wow! Fantastic work! My setup's single-dose pens only, so someone else around here will need to weigh in on that part.

Wasn't going to say anything, but count me among the people who ran reta for half a year, climbed to 8mg weekly, and saw zero movement on the scale. We're out here too. Never carried extra weight myself, but that constant mental noise around food has followed me most of my life. Got a...

The third compound stripped fat off my body running at a small twice-weekly amount. Went after areas I actually wanted to keep first. Then moved on to my stomach and arms. Was seeing solid results paired with a manageable side effect load at that amount, and when I nudged up slightly assuming...

This is wild. Four weeks in and dropping about 3.6kg a week. Really looking forward to what's ahead.

Lost weight fine on the lower doses, then bumped up as prescribed, which honestly feels too fast looking back now, and that's when the weight loss basically stopped, just maintaining from there. Started having real stomach problems too once I hit the higher doses. Taking a break right now...

Sublingual B12 might be worth trying over the regular tablets, absorbs a lot better that way. Also don't underestimate how long dehydration can linger, the effects genuinely stick around for a while.

The endocrine imbalance piece is what the calorie-deficit model consistently fails to account for. Five or six times losing 200 pounds and the cardiac damage from repeated cycles is the real cost of treating a hormonal disease with willpower. GLP-1s addressing the mechanism rather than just the...

The marker improvement at 100 lbs is the story underneath the weight number - a1c coming down from 5.7 is early enough to stop the trajectory before it becomes a problem. 100 lbs changes the whole metabolic picture.

Weekly is simpler to track and easier to manage socially - split dosing is mostly for GI management. If once weekly is working, stay there.

Hold under tongue 60-90 seconds before swallowing. Works best for GI use cases.

Been on Mounjaro 2.5 years, always paid $25/month or $75 for 3 months. April 1 it jumped to $489/month. I'm T2D, A1c sits at 5.3–5.5, got good coverage. BCBS says my coupon expired. Pharmacy's seeing this a lot, thinks insurance moved Mounjaro from tier 1 to tier 3. Can't afford the drug and pay...

Wasn't asking the forum to manage my treatment — the docs already covered the medical side. What I wanted was real user experience from folks who've been through it. Doctors are great but they don't have your day-to-day perspective.

Started on Mounjaro in August for diabetes and weight. Hit 5mg and stayed there, dropped 62 pounds and reached goal weight. A1c is now 5.2. Wild thing—that big vein I had on my inner thigh forever? It's just gone now.

between one and two pm i just crash and need to sleep. eating 100g protein, could drink more water, more active than usual. wasn't an issue with the oral version, just the shots. not sure what to do about naps with two kids.

Gray market's the way. Google it — you can find compounded versions online. Affordable, mix it yourself (easy), no insurance drama, any dose you want.

I'm exactly the same - three years, 20 percent down, same height and weight. I'm older and diabetic too. work out four days a week but diet could be better. sleep's usually solid. sometimes I think I hit a set point I was at for years. studies say 20 percent for a reason.
