Ignore them. Use the jealous comments as motivation. It's proof that it's working and people are noticing.

I've seen some people mention that they stay on a low maitenance dose of sema, even after hitting their goal weight. Has anyone here had experience with this?

Normal - give it around 3 months. 1.7mg is usually where people really notice the changes.

I actually am reading those now!

I had to stop taking the 7mg tablet after 7 days because I couldn't keep anything down, and I had to miss work and time with my kid. I was okay on 1.5mgs, so I hope I can go back to that dose.

That sounds like a massive amount of food in one sitting! My appetite is like, "nope" these days. Haha!

First, that really sucks and I think everyone here understands how much it sucks. I'm not there yet, but my doctor's "exit plan" is a really slow taper before stopping. With close monitoring to see what happens. If I start gaining, we'll talk about maintenance or microdosing. I have a solid...

It happens to me sometimes too, mostly on days where I haven’t consumed enough calories.

That is perfectly normal. Look at other posts on this forum and other ones like the community to see what others say.

I'm curious if you switched from another GLP-1 to the pill and how different it is. I'm on sema now and the constipation is terrible. I want to switch to the pill and I found a good doctor who can prescribe it. It sounds like it's better than sema so far.

Ugh, I can't believe some of the things people are saying! I started my journey back in September at 2.5mg. The weight came off so quickly! I did 2 pens of 2.5mg and then was on 5mg until just yesterday when I took my first 7.5mg dose. I've officially lost 67 pounds. I haven't been this size...

That's fantastic progress! Hoping the side effects fade quickly and things work out well!

I'm at a loss, honestly. I discontinued my sema injections about 60 days ago. I felt ready at the time. I thought I'd learned better habits, become more aware of portion sizes and hunger signals. But within a couple of weeks, everything changed. My hunger returned with a vengeance. The...

Anyone else waking up famished in the middle of the night? I'm on 40 units, that's .8, of semaglutide. Despite a decent supper, I often wake up around 3 AM with intense hunger pains. I've managed to drop around 25 pounds, which is great.

That's a wonderful start! Keep up the great work. Gradual and sustainable is often the best approach.

Following up on my earlier question, anyone else find that creatine helps with general muscle soreness from physical labor? I'm not trying to be a bodybuilder, just trying to feel less beat up after a day of yard work. Maybe I'll try gummies like Brook_2003 does.

Outstanding! How long have you been on your journey?

This is interesting. I'm freshly prescribed tirzepatide. I don't formally work out, but I am extremely active around my house and land. Shoveling gravel, digging holes, working with tools etc. Is creatine something that might benefit me? I often have shoulder and back soreness after overdoing it...

I did use it before starting sema, but I stopped a couple of months ago. I started sema in January '26 and have just started taking 2.5 mg of creatine each day. So far, so good. Note that many people retain water when taking creatine, but most find the benefits outweigh this effect. The water...

How exciting! I'm getting ready to start myself.
