This is so inspiring! I've seen patients achieve similar results, and it's truly life-changing. Keep up the great work!

For those who are going on vacation and might miss a dose: The half-life of these medications is fairly long (several days). Missing one dose isn't usually a problem, but contact your prescribing physician for guidance if you're going to miss multiple doses.

Girl, you look incredible! From fitness goals to hairstyle, you're absolutely glowing! 🙌🏾🔥

Just increase the dose when you feel like you need to. No need to automatically increase if the current dose is still effective.

Way to go!!! So inspiring! 👏 👏 👏 👏

It might be worth experimenting. Everyone reacts differently. I've heard some need to stay on the max dose for maintenance to keep the food noise away.

I'm splitting my dose to try and curb hunger on days 5, 6, and 7. I inject 4mg on Monday nights and 4mg on Friday evenings. It's working pretty well. I still think about food, but not nearly as much as when I injected once a week.

Congrats! When did you really start seeing results? I'm about to start my third month on 7.5mg and I'm so frustrated that it's not working. Even eating around 2000 calories, I'm hungry! Friends have told me 12.5mg was the turning point for them, but I'm curious about your experience.

Wonderful! You look so different – I hope you're feeling amazing too.

You can probably eliminate that fat, but I'm not sure about aiming for an A1C that low. 5.5 is perfectly fine. There's no solid research proving that dropping it to 4.8-5.0 provides any additional benefit.

Yes, compared to tirzepatide, it could. Research shows tirzepatide often leads to a greater decrease in A1C than retatrutide. Glucagon's job is to release stored glycogen as glucose, so retatrutide *can* potentially raise blood glucose, hence the higher A1C. However, many people on retatrutide...

Since I'm on Wegovy now I really hope I can learn to eat on a schedule to manage the food noise myself. I think combining a regular eating pattern with "real" intuitive eating will help... I'm reading a book called *how to eat well for adults with ADHD* about hunger cues and balanced snacks...

My doctor prescribed Ozempic for my diabetes. I lost around 30 pounds and haven't gained it back. He told me if I stopped the Ozempic, I'd probably regain the weight unless I made some lifestyle changes: better sleep, exercise every day, and a healthier diet.

Wanted to share that in just 3 weeks on a small dose, some patients are already seeing big changes. One of my patients lost 17lbs in that timeframe! It's amazing what these meds can do when combined with diet and exercise changes.

Fantastic news!!!! You must feel incredible!!!!

I'm 70 and really inspired by what you've accomplished, BigTale. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too *old* to even try. Then I think, what's the harm in trying?

Just remember, building muscle can slow weight loss on the scale. Focus on body composition (muscle vs. fat) rather than just the number. Keep up the good work!

You're crushing it! Congrats!

Congratulations 🎉

Don't sweat the "jiggly." No one else is paying attention. Feeling good about yourself is key! Get out there and enjoy life!
