I use a Sharps container. When it's full, I send it back in the box it came in, with the prepaid label, and they send me a new one. It's free, and I assume they handle the used syringes correctly because of the instructions.
It's amazing to see the success stories here! I'm just starting my journey with sema, and I'm at 227lbs. Seeing your progress gives me so much hope that I can reach my goal too!
Thanks everyone for the kind words! Means a lot. To answer some questions... NoShortcuts, it kinda slowed down after the first year, needed to adjust my dose. Carb_Update, maintenance dose is still being tweaked, but lower than my max, for sure.
Hey everyone! Just hit the big 5-0. Still keeping up with my maintenance and hitting the gym. Had some life stuff happen - job loss, a couple of surgeries - but I'm holding steady around 170lbs after dropping a full 100. And honestly? I don't always eat the cleanest!
I've been on LDN for almost 5 years as a partial treatment for long-covid. It's helped a lot with brain fog. It's also given me vivid, colorful (but not scary) dreams. I take 4.5 mg right before bed.
I saw a thread somewhere of someone saying they started this journey at 203lbs and is now 137lbs, and is now sober for almost a year. It really seems to be helping some people with more than just food!
I tune out when people start preaching about fasting. Like, I'm fat because I overeat. If I could just casually choose to not eat, I wouldn't be overweight. It's like, 'Hey, I see you're on fire. You know what works for me? NOT burning!'
Thanks, everyone! It's been years since I saw that first doctor. My current one is happy with my weight loss and wants me to keep it up. I figured being so heavy was harming me so I had to do something. I appreciate the encouragement!
