Yeah, seems like it always kicks off with a GLP-1. You're blown away that a tiny clear injection can transform your health so much. Then curiosity spreads to other peptides and whether they'll deliver similarly wild results. Before you know it, your bank account's taken a serious hit! I jot...

Still genuinely have no idea what size I actually wear, clothes shopping dread just won't go away, even though I badly need a new wardrobe after dropping 30kg. Constantly holding my stomach in without even realizing I'm doing it half the time.

Seems like every kind of craving gets dialed way back, sweets, drinking, all of it. Running a fairly modest amount of the fifth compound and there's zero urge to snack these days, whereas before starting it was nonstop. I was never big into drinking anyway though.

Brand-name Ozempic already dropped in price through their discount card, a pack with four 1.0mg doses ran me $88 this month, down from $250. Generics are going to have a tough time gaining traction when people can just price-match the original.

Curious what your daily calorie target's been, and roughly how much walking you've fit in weekly? Huge congrats on the progress!

I've started tracking two cardiac fitness metrics much more closely since starting the third compound in January, one that measures beat-to-beat variation and the resting pulse itself. Before that my eating habits were poor and I was drinking too much, and both numbers bounced around...

That's me! Quick rundown: on Mounjaro since last October, started at my highest weight of 306 and titrated up really gradually. Only one month at 2.5 (free sample from my doctor), then 5mg through July of last year, 7.5 until February, and 10 until just last month when I finally moved to 12.5...

Yep, spent four weeks at a small starting amount with nausea that stayed mostly bearable, though far from pleasant, and honestly it kept building week after week. Bumped up to the next amount on week five like directed, and got violently sick the entire stretch, nothing stayed down. Doctor had...

Yep, cut caffeine out entirely and it made a massive difference for me. Never once connected that shift to mounjaro, so interesting to hear! Will work on upping protein, honestly I don't get nearly enough since I'm burnt out on egg whites and whey powder just leaves me bloated, plus with how...

Shot day's Sunday, so by Friday or Saturday the effect's noticeably weaker. Pacing meals matters too, everything hits slower than expected at first. Carbonated drinks are a struggle personally, though that doesn't seem universal across everyone.

Started at 177, now on week four sitting at 170. No side effects at all, but also no real appetite suppression yet either. Just bumped up to .50. Hoping the next four weeks bring the jump to 1.0 and finally some actual effect. Still happy with the progress regardless.

My black furry buddy had a routine vet visit a few days ago, and while getting him up on the scale, joked that he seemed like a pretty solid unit these days. Number came back at 7.7kg, nearly seventeen pounds, and the assistant weighing him and I just exchanged an awkward glance for a moment...

Seems backwards on the surface, but there are probably people out there who had reductions a while back and are now also on this medication class. Hopefully someone with that exact experience can weigh in.

Just curious, what's the reasoning behind adding tirzepatide here? Both the reta and cagri amounts are on the lower side, plenty of room to push either one higher before bringing a third medication into the picture. Probably why there isn't much guidance showing up in the forum on this, most...

Didn't realize my reta amount was on the lower side at fourteen weeks in. Keep seeing people running triple what I do and honestly prefer keeping total milligrams as low as possible. The appetite peptide seemed like a smart add given how small the doses run compared to reta, and thought I'd...

Yeah, genuinely interesting experience so far. Meals wrap up a lot sooner these days, and honestly already feeling noticeably less fatigued overall. Unlike straight dieting, this doesn't seem to bring along that obsessive food-thought spiral either. Might've just been overloading my system with...

My spouse actually printed this for me on our home printer! Keep handing over new design ideas for him to make, ha. Like this one.

That's rough. Works out fine for me though, A1C's at 5.2 now. Tried fasting once and it actually sent me into DKA.

Thanks for the reply. Been reading through a good chunk of this forum and hadn't found much specifically on creams. Definitely planning to check out what you mentioned. Appreciate it!

Wow, 70 pounds is such a massive transformation!!! Genuinely inspiring. Hoping to shed at least that much myself eventually.
