    Weight loss stall - driving me nuts!

    Most people expect straight-line progress but the actual trial data is way messier. Weeks 1-12 is rapid loss, then slowdown weeks 16-24, another dip around 28-36 — that's the 'plateau' everyone freaks about — then gradual crawl to peak by week 60-68. That month-4-6 stall? That's literally the...

    Weight stalled but clothes fit looser?

    Stopped for 6 months, restarted, and hit a wall. I see this as a tool to get to healthy weight - I track food, eat enough protein (no meat but plenty of fish). Used to kill my cravings for alcohol but that's fading now. Been at the same starting dose because it worked.

    Cheap GLP-1s soon?

    Once the patents expire on these drugs, some researchers are saying manufacturing costs could drop to as little as $3 a month. Imagine the impact on global health! www.sciencealert.com

    Weed, cravings, and GLP-1s

    I live in a state where recreational cannabis is legal. Usually, I take a 10 mg edible, or drink a cannabis-infused beverage, once or twice a week, on a Friday or Saturday night. For years, I've asked local dispensaries if they have anything that doesn't give you the munchies. No luck so far...

    Vit D and weight loss - related?

    Hi everyone. My first time posting. I'm a 57-year-old woman and I've been stuck at the same weight since late September. I started taking this in June and saw good results at 0.25mg. Moved up to 0.5mg and then 0.75mg. I split the doses and it was all working out. Shed about 20 pounds during the...

    Down 80 lbs! Feeling fab!

    Hey everyone! I started on a GLP-1 med back in January when I turned the big 3-3. Didn't really have a specific goal weight, but I went from 327 lbs on January 4th to 247 lbs today! I feel so much better in my own skin. I'm 5'10", and I've struggled with my weight since I was a kid. This...

    Belly fat BE GONE!

    I can't believe the change. Like, I've had a gut forever. You know, it runs in the family. My grandma had one, and she ended up with some serious health issues. I was terrified of ending up like her. But get this, I looked in the mirror yesterday and...it's almost flat! Back in Sept '23, I had...

    Pics say it all!

    When the scale isn't moving, it's hard to see progress. I've dropped 95 lbs since starting this journey but haven't lost anything the past month. Feeling discouraged, I dug out an old outfit... the difference is amazing! Proof that consistency pays off!

    Ozempic - anyone else blindsided?!

    Okay, we all get the basic Ozempic rundown—smaller meals, less hungry, maybe some digestive *adventures*. But seriously, why didn't anyone tell me about: * The food freak-outs? My body now hates ground beef (used to be my go-to), but I'm obsessed with bell peppers of all things??? * The energy...
