    4 Months In: See a difference?

    Yes and it is the weirdest thing. I have done tasks I put off for months. The extra energy goes somewhere and apparently it goes to the kitchen floor.

    Hit 100lbs lost - Now what?

    The transition wardrobe budget approach is practical - there's no point investing in sizes you'll be through in a few months. Costco and similar work exactly for this window; decent quality at prices where you don't feel bad replacing them again in six weeks.

    Sema Side Effects - Any Way to Dodge Them?

    The risk calibration gets lost when you lead with side effects. Long-term obesity damage - cardiovascular, metabolic, joint - has larger expected impact than GI adaptation that resolves in weeks. The listing-all-side-effects framing doesn't give you the denominator.

    Stable maintenance dose — how long did it take to find yours?

    Finally hit my goal weight last month after about 14 months on tirz. Doc and I are in the maintenance-dose-tuning phase — currently down at 5mg from 10mg, but appetite is creeping back a bit, so might step up to 7.5 for maintenance. Curious how long it took others to find their stable...

    Clothes are fitting better!

    That would be quite a sight! I think I am aiming for a more sleek style rather than anything too revealing.

    Clothes are fitting better!

    It's odd... my closet is changing without my permission. I've always been a jeans and oversized flannel type. But lately things are shifting. Phase 1: "Huh... my jeans feel kinda loose." Phase 2: "Wait a minute... my shirt's staying tucked in all by itself?!" Phase 3: "Hang on, I can actually...

    Thanks for all the tips everyone! I'll try pinching the skin and icing it next time.

    Injections hurting more now?

    Luckily, I've never had any pain injecting...but I do take the pen out of the fridge about 15 minutes beforehand. Maybe that helps? 🤔

    Injections hurting more now?

    Been taking my shots for almost 4 months now (still on 2.5mg). At first, I barely felt a thing, but lately, it's been more noticeable. Could be since I've been losing weight and don't have as much belly fat. Anyone else experiencing this? It's not the med going in that hurts, it's the actual...

    Ozempic pen carrier - cool or overkill?

    Careful everyone, apparently if you give an honest opinion you might get a thumbs down! lol

    Ozempic pen carrier - cool or overkill?

    I'm kinda confused why you'd need a whole case...seems like it would take up space. I think the main challenge is just figuring out how to handle the used needles.

    Ozempic pen carrier - cool or overkill?

    I don't have a printer myself, but I'm happy to pay someone to print one for me. I'm located in Australia.

    Lost weight + got pregnant?!

    It's wild how many people are getting pregnant on these meds! I've heard similar things as Sema_Sister - maybe it regulates things?

    Reta fatigue: Does it ever lift?

    I had similar issues and magnesium helped a lot with the insomnia and chills! Maybe worth a shot?

    Reta fatigue: Does it ever lift?

    I was super tired too, but then realized electrolytes helped a lot. Supposedly, Reta burns up vitamins and minerals quicker, and it shows up in different ways. Feeling tired is one of them. My blood work showed low electrolytes in a few areas. I began having electrolyte drinks daily, and it's...
