Stacking three different compounds at low doses and the muscle gains are shocking for 56. Gained 12 pounds in six weeks despite eating in a deficit - water and tissue both, I figure. Belly's moving down slow. Almost no side effects yet so I'm wondering if I can layer one more compound without...

It could also be that the rapid weight loss is just a big change, and any big change can mess with your mood. Be kind to yourselves!

I haven't experienced that with semaglutide, but I did when I started perimenopause.

Fish and shrimp. Can't do it anymore.

Anything that's been deep fried. Gives me the worst stomach cramps ever.

The real question is, did you really burn 1500 calories in that time?

Nutrition and exercise are two sides of the same coin, really. They work best together. Nutrition is the foundation. It’s much easier to eat 300 calories than to burn them off via activity. And people get hung up on how much exercise they need. Any movement above what you're already doing...

It's tough when you can't use food to cope anymore. I saw someone asking on Reddit about what people do for dopamine now since food doesn’t work anymore. Some answers I saw: * Shopping (even just window shopping) * Gardening * Exercise * Perfumes I think I'm going to try some of these things!

I've been taking Reta for 22 days. I started at .5mg twice a week and now I'm at 1.5mg twice a week. I noticed mood changes pretty fast. I don't feel down, just a bit blah. Is this how people feel on antidepressants? I can still do everything, but I'm not getting the usual happy feelings from...

That's such a small starting dose. I don't know about the mood thing, I take a bunch of other things that could mess with my mood so I can't say for sure if it's the Reta.

Wait, we're tracking that? I started around 420lb about 2 months ago. I started with meds and did 2mg for 3 weeks, 4mg for 3 weeks, and am now on week 2 of 6mg. I have to remember to eat. I used to be hungry all the time and would snack non-stop. Now I have some protein in the morning and supper...

I want to get around 1900 calories daily. My maintenance is around 2800, so I aim to not go over 1000 cutback. At first, it was almost impossible to get in 1200, but I'm not titrating up as fast as my appetite is adjusting. Currently 1mg every other day and down around 80lbs. I have trouble...

I can't stand counting calories. I'm hardly eating so I force myself to get at *least* 1,000 cals with 80ish grams of protein.

Okay, so I'm 5'4" and weigh 220 lbs; so my calorie cutback *should* be about 1500. But I think I'm hitting about 1,000-1,200 on most days. It's not great, and honestly, I am concerned about having to cut even more later.

I'm so sorry about your mother as well, Eddie1987. I also have a very close relationship with my mom and I can only imagine your pain. I'm glad you both were so lucky that she lived to 93! Melt_Update179, thank you for sharing your story, too. The more people who have access to these...

What an inspiring story, Melt_Update179. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and all of your health challenges. Wishing you the best on the remainder of your journey!

Good point, Shape-Boss! I'm trying to focus more on how my clothes fit and how I feel, rather than the number on the scale. It's a tough mental shift!

Thanks everyone for the support! Yuki I appreciate the muscle comment, it's really what I wanted to work up to! I'm not just trying to be skinny again, but fit!

I need some advice! I've hit a plateau. Been on the meds for 8 months, lost about 50lbs. I'm 37, female, 5'3", and currently 200lbs. My dose is usually .5, but the last month or two, I've stalled and my appetite is back. Do you usually increase the dose at this point?

This has been a crazy ride, but totally worth it. No more slimming filters or hiding in the back during group pics! I was so insecure that the thought of stepping into a gym terrified me – afraid of being judged. I told myself I'd start working out *after* losing weight. Backwards, I know! I...
