Stalled since October 2025 here. T2 is why I take it and my A1C is controlled, so my doctor won't let me go above 10. I'm at 160-165 now and 150 is where my healthy BMI range begins, so once I came close to that, only 20-25 pounds away, progress crawled even with a deficit and exercise. What...

Tirz had stalled, so I added reta on top. Tirz has been continuous for me. Reta joined once I lowered tirz. That pairing got me past the plateau. Several months at 10mg reta now, and I hope to settle on a fresh maintenance balance. The 'bla' feeling is starting to register for me, and it's worse...

About a year in and it's been a constant issue for me. My loss stalled, partly because I can barely get myself moving when I'm tired and nauseous all the time. Honestly I have to haul myself out of the chair. In the beginning the drug did tame my huge appetite, but not anymore. The upside is...

Just my best friend is in on it lol, not even my husband, since everyone else around me is against sema. Whatever, it works and I'm down 10 lbs! To me it's a tool for training myself, not something for life. My binging and cravings stopped, and hopefully once I get used to eating this way I'll...

Two years now on oz at 2 mg. Cravings stay down around 5 days after each shot. Zero side effects, and every 6 months my A1c comes in at 5.5 on average.

Shed a huge amount of hair after dropping a large amount of weight quickly a while back, barely eating at the time, this was before this drug class existed. Grew back thick and healthy once eating enough became the priority again.

Two specific compounds definitely deliver noticeable results. A third one seems hit or miss personally. Genuinely unsure whether it's just placebo, but there does seem to be a light, clean energy boost most times it's used.

Genuinely in the same spot! Asked about upping the dose in another thread and got advice to finish the full month first, but for context, the weight trend over these past three weeks looks a lot like what's being described here, barely any appetite suppression beyond a day or two right after the...

See, the real issue here is that the amount taken doesn't override calorie intake. If a genuine deficit were happening, the same loss would show up regardless of whether the amount was moderate, higher, or anything else. Because this medication isn't dissolving fat directly, it's helping create...

The real issue is not being able to ignore hunger even when full, it's not really hunger exactly, more just the pull toward eating for pleasure. That's exactly why this stopped, used to deal with that constant pull nonstop without any medication, so ready to live without that constant urge now.

Backed off and held at a small amount for exactly this reason. Bloodwork's normal now and a huge amount of weight has come off too. Since the main reason for starting this was diabetes management, the weight loss is really just a bonus on top.

Sweet cravings do show up sometimes even on reta. Sour candy and a fresh batch of banana raisin cookies made at home recently, which is unusual since sweets aren't normally much of a draw. Could've easily gone through half that bag, but managed to catch it, put everything away, and didn't...

Mood dropped where it had actually improved on the other option, energy tanked, more nausea, and appetite suppression got so extreme that hitting even a small daily calorie count felt impossible, yet zero pounds came off. Talked to a doctor who stays closely plugged into the latest options in...

You picked the single-pathway option specifically because you'd never built any tolerance to it, right? So it would hit noticeably stronger than the dual-action one, which you mentioned having used before and probably had some tolerance built up toward (you brought up possibly taking a moderate...

Not an expert here, just passing along what I've figured out for myself along with some reading. 1. Going slow pays off later, I held myself under a moderate ceiling on the dose since the number's still dropping, food's still enjoyable, tough lifting sessions are still doable, and my skin gets...

Small point of disagreement, my understanding is that carrying excess weight tends to be a downstream sign of a deeper metabolic problem rather than a standalone condition. Tirzepatide targets that root issue, and once it does, the symptoms tied to it, excess weight included, either ease off...

Genuinely enjoying reta but the hunger suppression side sometimes feels a bit lacking. My understanding is the other major option in this class tends to hit that harder. For anyone who's made the switch, what pushed you to do it, and how did the two stack up in your experience? Did the other...

Haven't personally run into what you're describing, though I do usually get a brief minute or so of stinging right at the injection site. Tried it once in the softer area near my waistline and ruled that spot out given the extra burning and tenderness! Hoping this isn't an allergic reaction on...

Wow, that sounds a lot like where I was too. My weight's definitely plateaued, maybe 5kg total gone since giving birth. Also dealing with what seems like moderate water retention since my number bounces around a certain range, lowest point since the baby was minus 7kg and I can't seem to break...

Been cycling through sema, tirz, and reta for three years now and I'm only trending upward. Dropped 24 lbs that first year on sema, held steady on tirz for a stretch after that, tried switching to reta and gained 10, went back to tirz and gained even more, now I'm back on sema, lost 5 and then...
