Same boat here! Fair to mention, my diabetes was completely out of control when I began and I had roughly 250 lbs to lose, with zero confidence anything would actually work since nothing ever had before. Even accounting for the muscle and bone density I lost along the way, I'm still...

Running Apotex Semaglutide at 0.25 mg! :) Taking a daily multivitamin plus fish oil, lifting three times weekly with 20 lb weights and squats, and doing cardio or stairs the remaining days. Also staying on top of protein intake. Genuinely recommend tracking down a protein powder that actually...

New to this too, but felt intense fullness right away on Reta at 2mg along with a strange drop in food chatter, strange because that had never happened for me before. I can walk right past cookies, sweets, fried chicken tenders, and fries my family leaves sitting out and just keep going without...

Ozempic made me feel awful the entire time I used it. Miserable throughout, and results were minimal regardless of what dose I tried. Switched over to Zepbound and started actually losing weight while finally feeling like myself again.

77-year-old male here, not seeing much difference honestly. Numbers ran high before, and they're still running that way. Diabetic, been using Mounjaro since December 2022.

Agreed! A couple different brands make solid tasting clear whey options worth trying. Keep an eye out for a summer holiday promotion soon from one of them, regular pricing runs pretty high but deals pop up fairly often.

Really appreciate this! Genuinely relieved to hear I might just be able to stay right here at this dose, since it honestly feels perfect.

Congratulations!! Mounjaro genuinely delivers so much beyond just the number on the scale, and it sounds like every bit of that is showing up here. Keep going, the rest is coming!

Makes sense given everyone's body reacts differently, easier to keep perspective on that front. Would genuinely help to hear from someone in a similar spot about how things played out after 2.5mg specifically.

Worth asking over on the GLP1Grad community too. Most people around here already understand this is a lifelong medication.

Can't handle the zero sugar versions of certain sodas, they mess with my stomach badly. Diet versions are fine for me though. Might be worth trying the other aisle of sugar substitutes instead.

It's pricey, though a few plant-based brands make some solid clear protein powders worth checking out. More like a juice mix, something around 80 calories for 20 grams of protein.

Started about six weeks ago now. 11 pounds down so far. Really happy with how it's going. Hoping I can keep this pace going for the months ahead.

Sounds a little like you might be searching for an excuse to quit the medication honestly. If that's the case, that's totally your call to make, staying overweight is a valid choice too. No judgment here.

Definitely feels like I'm one of the slow losers too. Started Wegovy back in December and I'm down 14 pounds. Pretty sure I lost and regained that same 3 pounds for six weeks straight! Now dealing with brutal heartburn on top of it, so I've cut back on eating even more and still not seeing movement.

Happen to also be on a diabetes medication called metformin? That particular drug is well known for causing b12 deficiency, unlike the current one being discussed. B12 injections are pretty inexpensive too.

Yep. Magnesium citrate capsules have been a nightly habit for roughly two and a half years now on this medication. Take 300mg before bed. Stick to smaller capsule sizes so dosage can be adjusted easily either direction.

Thanks for the warning, will keep that in mind. Oh, almost forgot, epitalon gave me the same thing. Had some really vivid dreams while running it, not bad ones, just intense.

What actually makes a pen automatic versus manual? Aren't they all basically automatic since it's just pushing a button either way? Never actually used one myself yet, though a few are on their way, ordered a handful of a newer version.

In my case, a five week gap ended up being four missed doses. Assumed the reference chart meant restarting could happen at the higher dose.
