    Down 90+ lbs in 2 yrs. Feeling blessed!

    I've heard that many people have reduced inflammation while taking these meds. It's something my doctor mentioned, too. Apparently, some researchers looking into heart health are seeing significant improvements beyond just weight loss, possibly due to the decrease in systemic inflammation. I've...

    Down 90+ lbs in 2 yrs. Feeling blessed!

    I've had a similar experience. The social interaction bit is very weird; I imagine much more so for women. Therapy has helped with that. Congrats, though. You look like you feel great!

    Down 90+ lbs in 2 yrs. Feeling blessed!

    Congrats and thanks for posting! As an older guy (64), it makes me so happy to see younger people getting help and maybe sidestepping some of the obesity-related health problems, both physical and mental, that my generation has dealt with. Awesome for you! I read that 6% of people in the US (15...

    Vacay break from GLP-1s?

    Splitting doses can help some people reduce side effects. If RS feels rough coming back on, that might be a good approach.

    Vacay break from GLP-1s?

    I can't see it making any difference. Maybe go a tiny bit lower the first week back if you're nervous. You'll be okay.

    Vacay break from GLP-1s?

    Two weeks won't ruin your progress. It's like 3500 cals for a lb of fat, right? Most gain is water from the extra carbs and salt. Enjoy the vacation; get back on track when you're back.

    Saggy skin woes on RETA - advice?

    Regarding collagen supplements, the evidence is mixed. Some studies show improvements in skin elasticity, while others show no significant effect. It's generally considered safe, so it might be worth a try, but manage your expectations. Topical retinoids (like tretinoin) are also worth...

    Ozempic to Mounjaro: A Better Ride?

    It's interesting to see the varying experiences with these medications. Some folks find Mounjaro better for gastro issues, while others have the opposite reaction. It really highlights the individual nature of drug responses. I wonder if genetics play a role?

    Saggy skin woes on RETA - advice?

    I think Bug_Gal hit the nail on the head. Rapid weight loss, especially when induced by medications affecting fluid balance, is often associated with a gaunt or aged appearance. It's not necessarily *true* skin sagging, but rather a loss of volume that makes the skin appear less plump. Staying...

    GLP-1 & No Results?!

    I agree with tracking everything! I started weighing my food and using a calorie tracking app, and it's amazing how many calories you can accidentally consume without realizing it. Little things like sauces and dressings really add up.

    GLP-1 & No Results?!

    I did noom for all of 2024 (not on a GLP-1) and gained weight. Noom had me eat too many calories. Work with a dietitian or a weight loss doctor.
