I knew it! 😎

Okay, so I'm just gonna put this out there... I've dropped 38 pounds, which is the most I've ever managed. Everyone keeps telling me how great I look, and my clothes are practically falling off. By all accounts, it's working. But when I look in the mirror, something just feels...off. I feel like...

I am curious to know what made you finally take the leap? I've decided I'm not telling any of my doctors about Reta and just vaguely saying I'm on a compounded GLP. I have fewer side effects and more energy on Reta than I ever did with Tirz or Wegovy, which both gave me terrible fatigue and GERD.

I'm in the medical field also, and I happily inject a ton of peptides from China into my 'research animal'. I see it as taking control of my health and wellness.

My waist is about an inch smaller, but the scale hasn't moved much.

I split my 10mg/.5ml vials of Zepbound until I had to increase the dose. I had no problems. I collected the overfill (about 1 unit) in another vial. I never re-refrigerated and stored it in a clean cabinet. I had no issues because nobody told me not to do it. Now that I know more, I wouldn't do...

This is a great thread. Well done for sharing and getting help. This IS hard - I know, I’ve done it a few times before I got on GLP1s. Maybe talking to a therapist could help? You can do this.

Oh honey, I feel you. And I also have lipedema, so I *really* feel you. I dunno how old you are, but I can tell you, as I get older, just existing at higher weights is awful. I keep telling myself, "I'm doing this so I can actually move around and not hurt." I don't think my brain will ever...

I remember when I finally fit into a size Large leggings. It was such an awesome feeling after being a 2XL/3XL before starting this medication! Now I’m in a size XL shirt and size L leggings. Feels great!

I focus on waist-hip ratio more than BMI, but honestly either way if I'm carrying too much fat any measurement catches it. When it's normal, any test says normal.

Huge congratulations 🎊

I totally get that feeling—I never imagined I could do this! I'm two years in, and I went from 252 to 147 so far, and it's just mind-blowing.

For me, the first few months were the easiest. I lost a lot of weight quickly then. I found that focusing on protein helped, and I did titrate up as prescribed by my doctor.

sleep issues on tirz definitely hit me hard at first too but it leveled out after a bit. eating some protein before bed helps because blood sugar can tank around 3am and that cortisol surge will absolutely wake you up. made a real difference for me

Wow, so trim!

That's incredible! I also think your hair looks fab as you lost weight. You look amazing!

Basic is just GHK-CU, nothing different.

I would send you some, but you are overseas. Its too complicated now woth all the tariffs.

Amazing! Way to go!

Yay! Great job. So happy for you! 🥳🥳🥳
