Traveling with this stuff can be tricky. I read on Reddit about someone asking how to travel with sema since it needs to be refrigerated. Someone suggested those travel pouches for refrigerated meds that you activate with water.

It's probably true that GLP-1 meds will be linked to all sorts of health benefits. Easier to eat healthier, cut back on alcohol, and keep a healthy weight. All those things lower your chances of getting cancer.

Mia_02, thanks for sharing your story! I started Mounjaro at 2.5mg at the end of August 2025. Each month, my doctor increased my dose to 5mg, 7.5mg, and now 10mg. I couldn't lose weight before because of hyperinsulinemia and PCOS. I started at 304 pounds, and now I weigh 222 pounds! I've lost 82...

When you're starting out, doing it in the morning is smart in case there's some kind of safety issue. Like, if the concentration is off, or the water is contaminated or something. That's what I do. Once I've done a few injections from a cartridge, then I'm okay with evening or night injections.

I had the same problem, and pinning in my butt solved it for me.

I agree with MixBro, seeing visual change keeps you motivated. I've been on this path for a while, since late 2022, and hit a snag. But I'm back on track now!

Fantastic 👏🏾

The fact that you can joke about the activity part says you're doing better mentally than you realize. You've made awesome progress already. Slower doesn't mean stopped. Sometimes the scale is stubborn but the visual changes tell a different story. A three year difference is major, even if it...

You look fantastic! Keep up the amazing effort!

It's amazing how much this helps with the food noise. Congrats on getting to onederland!

You look absolutely phenomenal! Keep crushing it!

My skin's actually gotten way better too, gotta say. Yeah it's a bit loose and bumpy in spots, but my thighs are like night and day compared to before. The belly skin got so tough it almost pops when the tiny needle finally breaks through. I haven't been lifting like I should be, but once I get...

Your face is really changing! Looking good.

I've heard mixed reviews about some of those online places. I've been getting mine through a local compounding pharmacy. It might be worth looking into that. They can tailor the dosage to your needs, which is a plus.

Way to go!!

Taking such a low dose honestly. Some people manage to lose weight at that level even though it's not the manufacturer's rec. But plenty of folks don't see real weight loss even after getting up to 5mg tirzepatide.

Sure, I'm going from memory, it's been a few months: Are you having any of these (common and uncommon side effects)? How hungry have you been lately? (choices from "Always starving!" to "Never hungry!") Last question was like: "Is your current dose good enough?" With choices such as: Yes, doing...

My tirz journey started with formula from a compounding pharmacy and was supervised by a doctor. Each month I filled out a questionnaire to see if I needed a higher dose. So, the standard medical advice is to stay on the smallest dose that works. It took eight months to get to 15 mg. Stalls are...

I agree! I aim for 2-3 workouts per week focusing on weights.

Just eat some pork rinds. You'll get all the collagen you need.
