No emotional stuff for me, and I'm usually prone to depression. I've got ADHD, anxiety, the works—on meds for all of it. Got off one med that was making me gain weight, but the weight stuck around till I started this. Just some constipation and I've lost 120 pounds in 6 years. Can't complain.

Yes, weight loss is totally possible without increasing your activity! The meds help regulate appetite and blood sugar, which are the main drivers. Exercise just helps to tone up and burn more calories, but it's not essential initially. Start slow if you're nervous!

You're not a slow loser at all. You've been losing consistently at a healthy rate for a year. That is great! I know you want it to be faster, but it is what it is, and you're doing better than last year. I'm about 6 weeks behind you, with a similar rate of loss.

I agree with Taylor_09 re: those gummies. I tried some once and they were like stale candy. I definitely prefer the powder mixed in with my protein shake. Tastes fine and no weird texture.

I know someone who always wanted a magic pill to fix their relationship with food. Turns out? These meds can be it. They literally wished for something like this since they were a kid, to just feel normal around food. It's kind of amazing. Some of us really carry silent battles with food, body...

Yeah, it's great! Between that and making sure I get enough protein, I feel the best I have in a lot of years.

I had a similar start. Almost at the 2-month mark (currently on 0.5mg) and I'm not sure if the effects have increased, but the mental quiet and decreased appetite have stuck around. I'm supposed to go up to 1mg soon, but I think I'll stick with 0.5mg if it keeps working.

I've used it on and off for many years. Might it cause some slight water retention? Possibly. However, I definitely observe a benefit in my workouts. It also helps prevent cramps and improves my endurance. Perhaps a 10-15% increase in performance. Best to try it and see for yourself. Buy a good...

Just be careful with that advice, especially with small doses. It can be tough to draw super small amounts accurately on a regular syringe. Sometimes diluting it more is better for accuracy.

I prefer to use separate vials, do separate injections, and do them at separate times...even if that means multiple injections each day. GHK-Cu is known to degrade other actives mixed with it. You also might have pH instability issues between the molecules. And you're flooding the body's...

I've also noticed some pretty strange food aversions. I used to LOVE chicken, but now I can't stand it. Pickles, though? Suddenly, my favorite snack!

I noticed you're on Reta. Is this the first GLP-1 you've used? I started with sema, then switched to tirz and eventually reached my target weight, which I've maintained for over a year. I experimented with reta for about a dozen weeks, and I'm going back to Tirz next injection day. I have a...

It's so difficult to see progress in yourself day to day, but it's definitely there. I started Mounjaro in May of 2025 and when I compare pictures from then to now I can see such a difference! I see less bloating and a smaller waist now.

Amazing work!!!

Massive congratulations!

We say "shot". That's kind of weird too.

You got this!

I figured "injection" was a universal term. Guess not! 😁

You're doing great! That's nearly 10 lbs every month! Keep it up!

Yeah, it's pretty common. I've heard that building muscle underneath can help. Also, staying hydrated is key for skin elasticity!
