Started reta 18 months back, worked up to 8mg weekly, and stalled at 200 lbs (from 300) around December. A few months later I tried raising the dose to restart the loss but got severe diarrhea, so I returned to 8mg, which gave me zero trouble. I added 1mg of Carga in late April and I'm at 180...

I messed up too, I bought from the first supplier that came up and got a 10mg product. Two weeks in I started at 4 mg a week and feel nothing! :( I'm bummed about the 140 bucks. It's confusing as well because I did tirz for two months and loved it, not stressing about food. Not sure if reta is...

Just one person's take: when I moved to maintenance at goal weight on 5/25, I cut Tirz from 15mg down to 10mg within 2 weeks and added .125 cagri. The next week I stopped Tirz completely and began 1mg Reta with .25 Cagri. The Cagri was there in case food noise got unbearable (there wasn't any...

Nice work, congrats, and thanks for posting! My start was a steep curve too, but since June it's barely moving, so I'm sitting at -10%. Cravings and hunger both creep back, hoping 5mg brings that early feeling again!

No answers on the muscle question but that's a serious stack to be running blind on. I switched sources after mine started burning like crazy on injection and it turned out the concentration was off from the label. Worth getting yours tested if you haven't, since a mismatched dose would mess...

The reta plus tirz stack is the best combo I've found. Tirz alone beat reta alone in my case, but together the combo is doing great, 2 months in and it's been great. Only real downside: my dog allergy got worse, I can stay near them a shorter time before reacting and hives show up much faster...

I prefer subq myself. Semax did nothing for me until roughly 500 mcg, and the effect stayed mild, like conversations flowing better plus sharper working memory and recall. I eventually reached 1mg, though my tolerance runs high. Selank also needed about 500mcg before I noticed it, and my sweet...

I catch myself doing this too and I hate it, I know it points back at how I feel about myself. Since I began wegovy I find myself thinking, when I see bigger people, why wouldn't they take it too? Or wondering how they got to that size. Truth is genetics, meds and health conditions all play...

Thanks! I went from 221 down to 127, and at 5'2 that's a good spot. My type 2 diabetes used to be uncontrolled and now it's under control, and my psoriatic arthritis is far better managed. I feel better and life is better. Don't sit there doubting it, just start. The difference is huge.

sleepy-lateadopter66 Exactly this here. My Mounjaro use started in October 2022, with a few breaks, and each time I'm stunned by how hungry I get and how constantly I want food. The weight also comes back at a crazy speed. So glad I live in the GLP-1 era.

That scares me a bit... I've got a procedure June 24th and plan to take my final Tirz pin tomorrow and skip until after the surgery. Now I'm wondering whether to fear the food noise?? :)

Ride it out for now. As long as you're still losing there's no reason to go up. Squeeze the most out of each step before you hit max dose or run into harsh effects. Stalled longer than 3 weeks? Then consider raising it, provided hunger stays manageable, and after a raise give it about 4 weeks...

Tirz is the reverse for me, which helps since I have ulcerative colitis. What's interesting is how often side effect rates in studies differ from what people report on this forum. Early studies showed hardly any gap for tirz versus sema when it came to nausea and vomiting, yet online reports and...

Certain folks need a bigger dose before anything moves. I'm only 15 lbs down after half a year, though I've now stepped up to 7.5mg.

It'll happen, trust me. My biggest drop came around months 3 and 4, and now at one year on Monjaro I'm 45 lbs down with an A1C of 5.8. My biggest headache has been hauling my big wardrobe to a seamstress to get every single item altered! It's a real struggle.

Currently averaging 1600-1700 calories with 90-100g protein at 7.5 mg, getting closer to maintenance now. Worth mentioning where I'm at in this whole process. Eighteen months in, 80 pounds down. Only about 10 pounds left to go. Early on I stuck to roughly 1400-1500 daily with 100-120g protein...

This drug class helps by making it easier to eat less and takes the misery out of the deficit. But that's really the whole mechanism, helping you eat less. The eating less part still has to happen on your end. If your maintenance number is 1800 calories and you're eating 1800 calories, no...

28 kg gone is enormous, huge congrats. I get my compounded version through a telehealth provider, and hitting 160cm/57kg felt totally out of reach for me at first too. You made it happen.

Same? Currently in month two here and barely any movement the past couple weeks despite everything. People keep saying it's water retention, but genuinely spiraling a little internally, especially knowing intake's sitting well under maintenance. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Had been on 10mg Mounjaro, discovered I was about 4-5 weeks pregnant, and stopped right away. My son passed five hours after birth, seemingly unconnected to the medication, though we're still waiting on the post-mortem results.
