I had a similar experience! Was toweling off after a shower and noticed a hint of something...down there...that hasn't been visible in ages LOL. Still have a ways to go, but it's those little wins that keep you going.

I've experienced this firsthand. In friend groups, sometimes there's a designated 'fat friend' – someone who feels safe, non-threatening, and makes everyone else feel better about themselves. When that person loses weight, it changes the entire group dynamic. They become more noticeable and...

Injuries sidelined me from my ultra-running days years back. Then kids and a busy life led to a weight gain up to 340 pounds. I've lost over 60 pounds in 5 months. I view it as a tool to get back to the activities I love. I've completed six 100+ mile races, and I'm not done yet. It's given me...

Never gave me panic attacks, but my resting heart rate definitely jumped up! I also had random palpitations sometimes. After being off it for a couple weeks, it's back to normal. The low blood sugar feelings were intense! I always carried a snack with me in case I felt it coming on! It messed...

Retatrutide can cause a rise in heart rate, and some individuals may experience palpitations, which could manifest as panic-like symptoms.
