    Mounjaro and no gym?

    9 pounds in a month?? Wow, I am a slow responder. It took me almost three months to lose that much at a higher dose.

    Strength training is ideal, but you have a busy schedule. Don't beat yourself up about it. Do what you can when you can. Walking is good too.

    Compounding pharmacies & GLP-1s explained

    got it ordered through my longevity doc from pure pharmacy—enclomiphene citrate, $300 for 90 pills (25mg each). 25mg daily brought me from 690 to 1500+ in 3 months and cranked my estradiol too. restarted after 6 months off it, doing 2x weekly now post-surgery for 90 days.

    Downsized a cup!

    To Gym_Story: Weight loss can definitely affect breast size. It's mostly fat, so as you lose weight, you lose volume there too. It's a common side effect.

    40 down, almost there!

    I agree with MyFixed. It's not just about the medication, it's about building sustainable habits. It's great to have a tool to help curb appetite and cravings, but use it wisely to establish a healthy lifestyle.

    Not seeing much progress...advice?

    I saw someone post they'd been on a super high dose for months and only lost like four pounds. Turns out that person may have had other health factors preventing weight loss, so always good to check with your doctor!

    Reta before race? And macros?

    It is interesting how people don't bat an eye when you use semaglutide for diabetes, but when you use it for weight loss to prevent diabetes, it's all problems. "Cheating! Think of the health risks!" I'm glad you're seeing results, Gym_Lady.

    Excellent results! I'm always happy to see people succeeding with these meds. What kind of diet and exercise are you including?

    Stopping GLP-1s? It's so hard!

    Good point, Jules89. It's about balancing risks and benefits. Quality of life certainly matters. But some patients develop unrealistic expectations and chase a number on the scale at the expense of their overall health. It's a tough conversation to have.

    Not seeing much progress...advice?

    I was skeptical at first. Luckily, my online provider gives simple instructions-increase/decrease by 5 units (0.125 mg) based on how it's working and any side effects. I started in early December at 0.25 mg and I'm now at 1.125 mg. It helped, but I didn't feel like it was a "miracle drug" until...

    Reta before race? And macros?

    Funny you say that, I used to kayak a few years back and sold everything. It was hard to store all the gear, and it took an hour to get ready and drive to the water. How's your experience on the GLPs going?

    Reta before race? And macros?

    I thought about it a lot. My body fat % is around 15%, but I can't seem to lose the fat around my midsection. I've tried everything. Plus, the sugar cravings were out of control. I'm taking a break from running and focusing on lifting now.

    Similar situation here. Trying to stay positive and think of it as a marathon, not a sprint. I wish my hunger was more controlled, but hoping a higher dose will get me there.

    Upped to 1.7... side effects 😫

    Please be careful with rapid weight loss at a young age or if you are already at a low BMI. If you experience severe vomiting consider dropping your dose under medical supervision.

    Reta before race? And macros?

    Finished the half in 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 32 seconds. Super happy with that time. I've had some nipple sensitivity. The appetite suppression was amazing at first but seems to have completely gone away as of Tuesday. I took 2.5mg on Sunday evening. It was a pre-filled pen, so 2.5mg was the...

    Stopping GLP-1s? It's so hard!

    I'm seeing a disturbing trend: patients who *refuse* to discontinue their GLP-1s. https://www.statnews.com An endocrinologist describes the issue: Some patients are begging to stay on the drugs longer than medically advisable, creating an ethical grey area. He categorizes patients: * Most...

    I ended up taking my first dose after the run.
