People using GLP1s often see weight loss as just a calorie thing, not a hormone thing. They fixate on calories in, not calories out, even though that can vary a lot. So they think, "If I eat less, I'll lose more," which might be true, but isn't always helpful. They chase appetite suppression...

Thanks Great_Ave! So if you only use half the dose from a pen, you can get twice the doses? That makes sense. I also saw someone mention extracting the last bit with a syringe!

I'm curious about something... I've heard that the Mounjaro pens are designed to lock after a certain number of doses. Is this true? Or does it only assume you're taking the full amount, like 10mg from a 10mg pen?

That's understandable, actually. It very well could be related to the Reta. There are several reasons why this might be happening. Many people on GLP-1s or similar meds report a lower sex drive. This is often connected to how the medication impacts your hunger, energy, and even your mood. Even...

Good to hear you're having such a positive experience, Calorie_Coffee. Keeping protein high is def key for minimizing side effects. Keep up the good work!

I'm so glad to hear your blood pressure is good now, ShrinkIMO935. These meds can have so many positive effects beyond just weight loss for some people.

Dang!

Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off. Awesome job.

There are other GLP-1 receptor agonists besides semaglutide, such as tirzepatide, and also combination drugs emerging. However, it's important to discuss options and potential side effects with your doctor.

Fantastic progress! You look wonderful! Keep it up! 🔥💪

Incredible transformation! You look wonderful!

I agree with Sunny-Girl and Herculean_Habits. As we age, it's crucial to prioritize joint health. High-rep training with good form can be just as effective for hypertrophy as heavy lifting, but much safer on the joints. Also, make sure you're warming up properly before each workout and cooling...

Happy birthday! You are glowing! Wishing you many more years of health. ✨

Happy to hear you're doing well on maintenance, Cool_Healed! It sounds like you've put in the work to make lasting changes.

How many months were you on the medication?

Were you taking any hormones as well? Either way, great job!

It's important to remember that these medications highlight underlying hormonal imbalances. For some, constant hunger isn't about willpower; it's a physiological response. These medications correct that, allowing the body to regulate hunger properly. It's not a magic bullet, but a tool for a...

Just FYI, I read that some procedures require you to stop taking it a week or two beforehand, so skipping a week here and there shouldn't be a huge deal.

Just a heads up from something I read... if you go on vacation and decide to skip a dose to 'enjoy' yourself, don't go overboard. Someone said they skipped a week and ate like their old self and ended up with terrible nausea & vomiting. Be careful!

Upping the dose just based on the calendar instead of how well it's working seems wrong. If 1-2mg is doing the job, why double it at week 5?
