From what I've seen, training while on Reta, you don't lose muscle. My time on it totals 10 months, and for roughly 6 of those I've run 12mg, the top studied dose. I had DEXA scans at 2, 6 and 9 months. DEXA isn't super accurate, but results range from unchanged to roughly 1-3% up. Some muscle...

59F here. Started sema back in February and the weight came off fast at first - began at 300.7 and by May was down to 195. Needed a hip procedure last summer, then another one that October, and the max sema dose stopped working well through that whole stretch, probably some combination of...

I've been working through something similar in my own head, even though my exact numbers differ, and here's the framework I've landed on: Appetite suppression isn't really my main lever anymore. Instead I built a basic daily structure I try to stick to: - Three set meal times (roughly morning...

What dose are you currently at and how long have you been sitting there? Climbing higher should ease that up.

Pretty new to Wegovy myself. Had a fair number of side effects right at the intro .25 dose, so my doctor's keeping me there another four weeks. Down 15 lbs in four weeks though and still losing at just the intro amount. Not sure what's ahead, but doc mentioned possibly moving me over to Zepbound...

Had a closet of items that shrank or so I thought now given away. Tight to way too loose kept a couple just in case. Only few cocktails twice weekly otherwise the same. Can buy without elastic belly doesn't push pants down no more plumber moments. Shorts and sweats not needed for comfort now...

As a diabetic taking it for blood sugar control, I mostly just live and let live with what others do. But I wish I was dropping weight like some people are. Been pretty slow for me.
