The pose shift is the tell that most people miss in comparison photos - the difference in how someone holds themselves after significant weight loss is as visible as the size difference. Confidence reads in the posture and you can see it.

Jeans going roomy before you buy new is the right approach.

260 to 160 across 20 months is 100 lbs at a pace that locks in habits alongside the deficit. The doc switch and plateau mid-way are normal course corrections, not detours.

CJC/Ipa on top of Tirz is the standard GH stack - 100mcg each, timed post-workout or pre-sleep. Main thing to track: insulin sensitivity, since CJC/Ipa can blunt it enough to cause mild appetite rebound.

skip the anavar and think about why that's the move. consider an injectable dht derivative for zero liver stress. nothing wrong with gear, but cycling is the wrong mindset here. crank your test to 200mg and hold it—you'll notice muscle growth and recovery way faster.

Started metformin XL 6 months before adding Mounjaro, not the other way around. Avoided going higher on metformin for side effects. XL's the only version I can tolerate—the regular pills made me feel awful.

Good results mixing ozempic 1mg weekly with proper diet, high protein and creatine, regular cardio. Down from 245 to 208 since october, barely any muscle loss. Greasy food hits fast though and edible thc is intense.

CJC needs you in a low-insulin state to work right, so carb timing matters. I stick with the DAC version and pin every 2-3 weeks rather than keeping my pituitary cranked. Most people can't realistically do 2-4 shots a day in a fasted state anyway.

Being invisible as a heavier person beat getting treated like an object. That got worse for me than being unseen. I'm losing weight for health, not what people think. Seriously consider therapy for how you're feeling about this because it can spiral into eating disorders and more mental stuff.

started jan 2024 and after a year my insurance pulled the plug with ridiculous copays. three months off and gained 25 pounds back eating the exact same way. i'm fine with being on this forever if that's what it takes. last shipment was four days late and i felt like absolute crap for a week...

Started sema 2 weeks ago through Freya, down 5 lbs already. Aiming for 10-15 total since I'm under 5 feet. Second weigh-in showed not just weight dropping but muscle up, body fat down, even my metabolic age came down to my actual age. Feels healthier and happier. Upping dose today per doc.

Ran it as a nasal spray for a week. Started at 2 squirts per side (100mcg each, 400 total) once a day—nothing. Doubled to 4 each side (800 total)—still zero. Thinking it might be one of those where you either respond or you don't. GLP-1s hit different, everyone feels something.

Same thing happened to me. Even if it doesn't feel like it works, it still does. Thought I was just more disciplined but I'd been dieting four months before starting. Now cravings just aren't as strong—lost about 3 pounds first week from that alone.

Never had major issues advancing here. People are kind even when english isnt first language. Just read, interact, and the apprentice hat appears eventually.

I disagree with that. I was on metformin for ages and the GI issues were unbearable. Getting off it improved my quality of life so much. If Just_Mom is having that problem too, switching might be the better option.

Totally understand, it's a tricky situation!

I was like you a few years ago. Metformin gave me awful diarrhea. I wanted off of it so bad. My doctor didn't tell me what to do. A week after starting Ozempic I cut my Metformin dose in half. Once I increased my Ozempic to .05mg I completely stopped the Metformin. I didn't ask my doctor. I was...

I've actually started disliking meat lately. The feel and the taste. Meal kit services have been my saving grace.

I'm down 53lbs in 9 months on sema. It's been a great ride, and I feel much more confident. My goal is to get to a healthy BMI. I agree with DocInTheBox, sometimes you don't see it but your clothes do!

Awesome job!
