Wolf_Cookie is right on the small changes point. I hit two plateaus and both times just one small tweak got things moving again. Hang in there Mel57.

The running syringe count is one of the stranger ways a long-term habit shows up - it's a measure of consistency that doesn't get celebrated but adds up fast.

Day 2 is usually when the GI effects are most noticeable for most people, which makes it the most useful observation window - by day 3 or 4 the stomach settles back down and you get a clearer baseline.

I've been thinking about that too, GastricEmpty, thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I'll look into getting a body composition analysis done. It's just frustrating seeing the scale not budge!

so happy to see stories like this. you should be proud. started wegovy last summer at 322, dropped 30 quick but plateaued in january and gained back in march. just switched to mounjaro. really hoping i'll get where you are one day.

For those just starting out, don't panic if you don't see results immediately. I've seen many people lose slowly at first, then it picks up. Everyone's body reacts differently.

As you slim down, your body needs less energy to move around. So, you're no longer in a calorie deficit at 2000. When I was 238, my TDEE was about 2300. Now that I'm at 140, it's about 1750. To lose weight, I aimed for 1400-1600. Use a TDEE calculator for guidance. Also, use a food scale to...

Alright... it might have been a minor case of hypoglycemia, but the fact that you were so clear-headed the whole time makes me think probably not. Sounds more like hunger, plain and simple. Feeling cold in the early weeks is common. Forgetting to eat, also very common. If you're diabetic but not...

I pull the vial out, pin right away to keep it cool, back in the fridge fast. I never let my peptides warm up. Benzyl alcohol works better at room temp, but I worry more about bacteria. Everything I've read says peptides hold up fine below 80 degrees. Might lose about 1% potency a month if you...

Hi everyone, New to this forum. I've been on Mounjaro for around 3 years, and on the highest dose (15mg) for about a year. I initially lost about 40lbs, but I've been stuck at 260lbs for a while now. My blood sugar is well-managed, and I eat a fairly low-carb diet without overeating. I think...

good tip someone gave: check the needle every time as part of your routine. can't check with the cap on. for staying ahead on doses, refill early. my insurer lets me fill after 23 days so i jump ahead almost a week every month, stays on track and lets me bank a couple months.

I'm curious about that too! I've been using measurements, but I'm wondering if a scan would be more accurate. Thinking of Reta next but heard it's hard to find

Looking fantastic!!!! I’ve dropped about 5 pounds during my first month so far

Everyone says the green pen ages you, but you look like you've reversed time. Congrats!

only thing I check on the test sheet is overfill or underfill. if it doesn't add up, try another vial. started on real mounjaro so I knew what it should feel like. tried compounded after and it was weak. when you do lyophilized you control the concentration so you gotta double-check your math.

How many glasses of water you drinking daily? What time of day works best for you? Do you feel like you need way more water on this stuff?

If anyone is getting supplies from overseas, make sure they are refrigerated the whole time! They degrade super fast if they aren't kept cold. I've also heard of people injecting directly from vials now instead of pens.

I've had several shipments intercepted by China customs. My vendor always reships via a different route, and it's always worked out. Never a problem with US customs.

That 'head cold' feeling can be a sign of dehydration. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and electrolytes.

I'd suggest starting with 2mg of reta.
