same happened to me. frankly had to wait until around 190 before everybody thought I looked different or sick, lol, all because the face weight vanished.

I don't know the science, & I split dose too. Lots of people feel split dosing builds resistance to glp1s so you need to titrate up faster than if you took them fewer often. My actually thoughts? Not a scientist lol, and I've seen many contradicting views on the subject. actually This is indeed...

Interesting, my weight also went up during the first fortnight on reta, then it started dropping. My guess was inflammation water weight while my body adjusted.

Thanks for this post! My weight sat at 206 for nearly 9 months, then I lost 3 lbs & that seems to be where my body just wants to be. I've been just on 12.5 mg, dropped to 10 mg because I wasn't eating enough and felt fatigued, then went back to 12.5 mg several months ago & the scale won't budge...

If this holds, why does Lilly push it as a lifetime med? I believe really in evidence-based medicine & science. I fully agree weight loss curves flatten. I accept that the body fights back toward a higher weight, and that I'm hungrier at 140 pounds on Mounjaro, eating really the same calories as...

Yeah, my blood sugar control has been excellent on a modest amount of the second compound. Hoping for something similar with my liver using a small amount of the fifth compound, but I'll know more once I get imaging done in a few months.

Personally, this drug class gets treated as a lifelong companion in health management. So the approach here leans toward the lowest effective amount long term, giving the body what it genuinely needs. Starving isn't the goal at all. The goal is controlling food noise just enough to still get in...

Had typed out a whole long response, then figured nobody would really care. My hope is that renaming the condition helps patients understand it's actually a wide-reaching metabolic disorder touching multiple body systems, not simply an ovary issue. Great that they updated the terminology, but...

Really interesting observation, and your instinct about what's driving it biologically sounds pretty accurate. Researchers are actively studying how this medication class affects reward pathways in the brain, and early findings hint they may reduce compulsive and addiction-adjacent behavior...

This, exactly. Used to wear a much larger size, now fitting into something dramatically smaller, sometimes even smaller sizes are too roomy. Genuinely too big. Yet somehow still reaching for the largest size first, even though the old self never wore anything that small to begin with, always...

Try to sneak in a nap at work during lunch sometimes, exhausted but can't actually fall asleep. Running a much lower dose than you are. At some point I'm hoping enough weight comes off that the constant tiredness finally lifts. Someday, right? Staying hopeful, though I do wonder sometimes how I...

Appreciate it. Started out at 192, with my heaviest ever being 208, before I began the dual-action medication! My doctor first tried me on an older appetite-suppressant pill, and once that stopped helping, switched me over to this.

Once a vial's cracked open, the diluent just goes straight into the fridge for me. Mostly about limiting temperature swings and contamination risk over the following weeks, given how much pricier the peptide is compared to the water itself.

My eating habits have genuinely shifted, this medication dramatically changed my cravings toward whole foods. Staying pretty active too with weekly dance classes. Feels like my body's just determined to hold at 200lbs though.

Dealt with anxiety for a long stretch and I'm on medication for it. Things became genuinely unmanageable. Not fully sure whether it was the medication itself or some absorption issue, but I was struggling. Leaning toward absorption, since it wasn't until the effects wore off that the dose...
