Skip greasy, fatty or heavy foods, and eat slowly, I mean really slowly, and dont overeat or you'll end up nauseous and throwing up like I did. Eat clean and get in one active thing that makes you sweat, that's it. I'm at month 7, went from .25 up to the top Wegovy dose and got through all the...

Two months at 2.5 now. It's working, 2 pounds off each week. Side effects are history and appetite is still suppressed. I thought about going up to 5mg but I'll ride 2.5 until it quits.

Only Tirz for me, split as Friday morning 5mg, then 4mg Monday morning. Friday's pin handles the weekend while Monday's pin sees me through to Friday, works for me. Also very few sides (I add KPV and BPC too) and appetite control is excellent.

Height 5'3. Started at 217 (size 16), now 154 (size 6). Target is 135-140, dress size whatever results. 16 months of Mounjaro so far, on 12.5 mg at the moment.

Three meals daily is still my routine, plus a snack now and then. Reta isn't my tool for starving down to skinny, I want fuel for my activity level. I'm on 1mg for now, maybe going up to 2 on Monday...

Moved off 14mg Reta with 2.4mg cagri onto weekly doses of 12mg Reta paired with 3mg elora. Four doses in and the scale hasn't moved at all. Looks like I return to 14mg Reta, split as 7mg twice, every 3.5 days.

Diet and exercise deserve a look, I'd say. My real loss only began once I changed both, basically dropping sugar and carbs. Went from 146kg down to 126kg over roughly 7 months, and I'm still at 5mg.

I totally get you, and thanks for sharing! I ate very little in my first week too (a heatwave with no AC or fan made me want only water and fresh fruit). Not getting a PCOS diagnosis for lack of cysts is so sad. Cysts are just 1 of the three criteria and you need only 2 to qualify. Mine are all...

For most peptides I use Reli on, but GHK-Cu plus Gluta, the spicy ones, get a thicker gauge and a longer needle IM from me. That takes the sting out.

Glad you asked, my question was similar. My 4th shot was last week, I'm about 10 lbs lighter and feel full much faster, but my head is still loud about food. If anything it has ticked up, since now I'm constantly thinking about getting more protein and adjusting my intake with less appetite. I...

A pen usually holds four 0.5mg doses. You've gone through four 0.25 doses, so two 0.5 doses ought to remain in the pen. Same pen for me, and it played out identically.

I take Reta plus Adderall too, and Lamictal/Lamotrigine was part of my past (never Keppra though). During my opening weeks on Reta I also craved sweets and sometimes carbs, but that's mostly faded. Cravings still happen, much milder. Adderall still works for my focus (about a quarter of my...

Just began mounjaro 8 weeks ago, no weight lost yet, and my hair has started falling out. My dose is a low 2.5mg. Anybody else experience this?

Good point, I've been thinking about it too as I get nearer to the low end of the weight I want. When I reach it, it'll be bulking time, so does reta allow that? We'll find out, I guess.

Low carb is a huge game changer for me, and fasting gets easier too. I'd say anything that keeps blood sugar as steady as possible works hand in hand with glp1's.

Honestly that's some killer recomp. Since starting Tirz the scale shows 19 lbs lost, but 8 lbs of added muscle while losing fat changes the picture completely. Many people watch only the scale and miss that. 35 lbs of fat gone while you also lift, run and do yoga is serious work. You're clearly...

Guess I'm an outlier. As soon as the loss slowed I changed my workouts and food intake, and if it felt like white knuckling, I raised the dose in tiny steps. Still sitting between the 2nd and 3rd smallest doses. Nearly half my body weight, 42%, is gone so far.

My main takeaway was that some people, a minority, respond to sema better than to tirz. Since we lean on overall averages (which favor tirz at population level), that minority may get treated poorly. With glucagon agonism entering the picture, it's fair to expect that same group could respond...

I think I see the issue. You feel better with the dosing schedule Lilly tested and approved and distrust the homebrew one. My rebellious streak makes me want to push boundaries on my own, hoping to cut cost or discomfort, instead of accepting rules from authorities, lol. This is a golden age of...

I ran retatrutide for around three months, and my stomach had a genuinely rough first couple of weeks, mild nausea and bowels moving quicker than normal. It settled, but it was surprisingly physical, no willpower fix. The 'failure' framing doesn't fit. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) acts on two...
