    Reta order taking forever?

    I'm curious about the shelf life of NAD+ once it's mixed. I've heard refrigeration helps a lot.

    Weirdest Ozempic food cravings?

    I'm craving sweet things. I'm not hungry for savory, which is what I normally eat. Candy is great. Nuts? Not so much.

    Reta order taking forever?

    I'm in the US. I contacted a vendor directly, placed the order Sunday, got tracking Monday, and the package was here Wednesday.

    Still hungry on the starter dose :(

    I think I had a similar experience. I was at 275 lbs when I started 0.25mg Ozempic. I stayed around that weight for two months as I went from 0.25 to 0.5. When I got to 1.0mg, in about 4 months I lost 55lbs. The first low doses didn't do anything for me. When I got to 1.0 I didn't have cravings...

    Ozempic Cost - Ouch!

    If you're forced to stop cold turkey because of insurance, focus on calorie counting and portion control. Try to avoid snacking a lot and exercise whenever you're able to. That helped someone else after their insurance cut them off https://www.youtube.com/@fitbymik

    Reta order taking forever?

    I placed an order on Saturday, and it shipped last night. The label was actually created Sunday, but the US holiday on Monday slowed things down a bit.

    Ozempic Cost - Ouch!

    I visited Tijuana, where you can buy it over the counter at legitimate pharmacies. I picked up an 8mg pen for $500.

    Ozempic Cost - Ouch!

    I'm paying $240 at Costco. The pharmacist mentioned it might drop to around $70-$90 in Canada by September.

    Too much at once?

    I've been experimenting with peptides for a while now, and I mostly agree with Bee-IMO. It’s easy to get caught up in the 'hobby' aspect of peptide use, but focusing on clear goals is definitely key. I'd suggest revisiting your overall strategy before adding more elements. What are your key...

    Down 50+ lbs...Ozempic rules!

    Thanks, everyone! To answer a few questions, I did not use a compounded version. I followed my doctor's instructions on titrating up. I'm currently on the max dose. And I promise it is! Maybe it's the angle or the clothes, but the scale doesn't lie!

    Down 50+ lbs...Ozempic rules!

    I've lost 53 pounds since starting Ozempic around June of '25, so about 7 months. Check it out - same outfit in both pics. I'm only holding on to these clothes now for comparison photos. I'm finally ready to get some new stuff. I can finally walk by a mirror at the store without getting upset...

    Reta side effects: fast or slow?

    To add onto what Reta_King363 mentioned about side effects, and this is just my own observation - I've noticed some people have less appetite control when they are getting started or increasing their dosage. I would suggest injecting at least 2x weekly and increase doses to when you feel the...

    Reta side effects: fast or slow?

    Retatrutide levels build up in the body over time. So, if you maintain the same dose for a month, the amount of Reta in your system will gradually increase. I've also found that potential negative reactions like feeling sick, headaches, and burping seem to be related to what you eat - the more...

    Mounjaro: A Year-Long Ride

    It's interesting that your doctor didn't monitor your blood work more closely. While GLP-1 medications are generally safe, it's still important to monitor kidney function and other parameters, especially with rapid weight loss. I'm glad you advocated for yourself and found information online...

    GLP-1s curbing caffeine?

    As my Tirz dose has gone up, so has my coffee/caffeine intake, while my alcohol intake has gone down dramatically - to zero. Tirz reduced my desire for drinking, and I just don’t enjoy it. I need more caffeine given how physically demanding losing weight and exercising is. I've been considering...
