It's amazing how much better my body moves now that I've lost some weight. I'm mostly maintaining and focusing on strength building now. I hit the gym 3 times a week.

I'm 56 and got prescribed TRT to help build a bit of muscle and fight any muscle loss. I'm at the gym 3 days a week doing basic exercises (bench, squats, deadlifts, shoulders) to build as I lose fat. It really helped when I was trying to lose weight. And it helped me focus on eating enough...

Some people see really fast results, while others, like me, it's a slower process. Everyone's body reacts differently.

At 77, FoxIRL641, the catabolic effects from a consistent energy deficit must be considerable. I hope you recover quickly.

That is an incredible change in only one year, congratulations! 🎉 Did you include exercise in your routine?

Congrats!!!! If you don't mind me asking, did you experience any adverse reactions? And, did it mess with your menstrual cycle?

That's fantastic progress! Keep up the hard work, it's worth it. Remember to stay consistent with your protocol and listen to your body.

Great job, love the photos. And it's wonderful to see your child loves you!

So happy with the results a year later. What a ride! 🤩

Thanks, LongGameLarry. I'm somewhat concerned about PFAS, but also know they're hard to avoid. More info would be helpful and hopefully comes out over time with more testing.

CONGRATS! My Oz baby was born in January '25. She’s absolutely perfect, super amazing, and well on her way to becoming the crazy toddler of my dreams. As for me? I’m back on Mounjaro and feeling good about where I’m headed. Parenthood is... a lot, but I was so glad to restart on a GLP-1 when...

🤣 It won't be, Val. This'll be back in a week or two. I even asked the same thing about Survo once...

I'm so happy for you!

"You can use "Trizepatide" forever. it never go bad Dear" 🤍😻 Safety Edit: this is not true

I think some pen usage habits increase backwash risk. Reusing needles is common, but the recommendation is under 6 times (or you get nodules and infections). Also, leaving the needle on increases risk. Hospitals should have lower rates of backwash. But it's still surprising to me that it's that...

Does anyone have instructions for vial spikes that protect vials longer than 4 weeks? It doesn't make sense that they're better, stabbing a bigger hole in the stopper. (They also need the right stopper or they can damage the seal.) Not all vial spikes are closed systems, and even those only...

True, Big_Fit, but the needle's in your body, so there's a fluid connection. Backwash happens. A third of insulin pens tested had it, and they have way more preservatives and a longer official date.

I'm not familiar with reta, but insulin pens have documented backwash into the cartridge. (They found human white blood cells.) Insulin's got tons of preservatives, like phenol and benzyl alcohol. Just do a search, I looked this up once.

That's a REALLY good point about waiting on the breast reduction. Definitely discuss that with your surgeon. Weight loss can significantly change things.

I have to say - a 28 pound loss looks like quite a bit more...? I sometimes think that MJ helps with more inch loss too. Wonder how that works.
