    Lost 60+ pounds this year!

    You look incredible! I just reached my target weight and treated myself to that shopping spree I promised! It was fun, but those department store mirrors can be brutal, haha! Now I'm thinking about adding more strength training or boosting my protein. How did your muscle tone hold up during...

    FOXO4 DRI vs Mots-C: Which first?

    Interesting! I've used Thymosin Alpha 1 before. I noticed it upped my lymphocyte count but made my pollen allergies worse, so ymmv.

    Coming Off GLP-1s: What to Expect

    Clinician here. This is an excellent community summary. A few clinical clarifications: 1) There is currently no standardized taper protocol in guidelines, but gradual dose reduction is reasonable when possible. 2) In trials where medication was stopped at study end, cardiometabolic markers...

    FOXO4 DRI vs Mots-C: Which first?

    One place has kits for $360 and they have COA’s on everything they sell. The shipping is pretty fast, but expensive, at $90, unless you spend $850+ then it's free.

    FOXO4 DRI vs Mots-C: Which first?

    I'm almost done with that protocol too. I'd suggest going with Mots-c first. Then maybe run a FOX04 cycle afterward. I'm a male in my 40s and been out of shape and metabolically challenged. After running this cycle, I sleep deeper, go to the gym after work, my home projects are getting tackled...

    Reached my goal!

    To anyone just starting, remember that progress is progress, no matter how small. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Slow and steady wins the race!

    One year on and 200+ lbs gone!

    Great job! Don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't always move as fast as you want. Focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit. Sometimes, you're losing fat but also gaining muscle, so the scale might not reflect the change accurately.

    GHRP-2... Anyone else get the munchies?!

    It's a good idea to get those baseline levels checked first, Charlie1989. Just keep an eye on your prolactin levels too. Some people find MK-677 raises it.

    GLP-1s changed my life!

    Congrats! I'm microdosing with a compound semaglutide through Noom. Lost about 6 pounds in 6 weeks. Slow and steady is good! Question: have you found that your sense of smell has changed where cooked foods smell bad? It's happening to me and it's strange!

    GHRP-2... Anyone else get the munchies?!

    I've heard some people take it right before hitting the sack, hoping to sleep through the worst of the ghrelin surge to avoid the snacking!

    GLP-1s changed my life!

    Fantastic job! I'm at 23 weeks and down about 35 pounds, so you're doing great! I guess I'm taking the slow route! Started at 345 and look forward to seeing under 300 after over a decade!

    Reta dose increase = bonk?

    My brother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Last night, we used his glucose meter to check our blood sugar after drinking - he was 9.4, and I was 2.9 (both in nmols). I'm on 8mg of Reta, split into two 4mg doses twice a week, but I haven't had any low blood sugar symptoms. Maybe something to...

    Reta dose increase = bonk?

    I asked Gemini, and it thinks low blood sugar is a more likely cause than dehydration.

    Reta dose increase = bonk?

    A blood glucose meter is useful to have, and they're not too expensive. You can get a kit online or at a drugstore. Protein shakes are good for electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, but they don't hydrate as well as electrolyte drinks or coconut water. I use both...

    Zepbound gone warm - use 'em?

    If they're completely unused, they're almost certainly fine. I'd say 99.99% confidence (taking off 0.01% because nothing is ever 100% certain). If they were partially used, they're likely still OK. My confidence level in that case would be about 85%.

    Good EU source for bac water?

    I've heard of people getting prescriptions from US doctors and having peptides shipped to Europe. That might be an option for some things, if you can find a doctor willing to work with you.

    Good EU source for bac water?

    I've used a bac water product from that big online retailer and I'm still here. The packaging says it has 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol, a batch number, and the right PH. It's a British company. Has anyone had it tested? I couldn't find a certain brand of BAC water for sale in Europe, unfortunately.
