Awesome job!

That smile is awesome! 😄

That's so interesting! I haven't had ground beef issues, but I used to be crazy about salmon. Now the thought of eating it makes me feel sick! I don't really crave red meat much anymore either.

That's exactly what I'm experiencing. The taste itself isn't different, just the enjoyment I get from it. It's like the pleasure knob has been turned down. I found that when I did a carnivore stint for 2 months, I only let myself have lemon juice in water. After that, vegetables tasted...

That is such a mystery! Just toss the first dose then?

Yeah, maybe, who knows? I have the old Eli Lilly pens, and they've done something similar a few times, but not at the beginning. I never figured it out—I just saw the plunger not move. (it was a bigger dose)

hmmm, thats so weird! Is it a name brand pen?

I started with sema (also around May) and then brought in the reta about 3 months later. I'm currently taking 2mg of sema and 1mg of reta on Sundays, with an additional 3mg of reta on Wednesday. Sema is less expensive and, in my opinion, better at managing food cravings, even at smaller doses...

Amazing work! Well done!

I'm on 7.5 for maintenance too! I inject every 10 days. I did try it every 12 and 14 days, but every 10 days seems perfect for me. I've been feeling better than I have in the last 30 years. I'm type 2 and was diagnosed 4 years ago. I was only around 20 pounds overweight back then. I was lucky to...

You look incredible 👏👏👏👏👏

I started in July 2022. Now, I'm using 7.5 for maintenance. That's the highest dose I've taken. I met my goals there and stuck with it. I'm super happy!

How many injections at 1mg did it take before you started seeing results? I took my first dose yesterday. I haven't lost anything since I started, so I'm really hoping this changes things.

That's awesome FastingFam! I started around 200 and am hoping to get to 150. It's encouraging to see stories like yours and OP's!

Seriously, thanks for this post, Kim1990! I'm feeling so discouraged by the whole process.

Awesome results 👏

Wow! You look fantastic!! Way to go!

I'm thinking about getting a DEXA scan to see how much fat I'm really losing. I wish I'd done one before starting the meds. Has anyone else had a DEXA scan before/during their GLP-1 journey?

Wow, Cell_Healed, your liver improvements are fantastic! I'm just about to finish my fourth week of tirzepatide and I'm hoping to see similar changes. Thanks for sharing, it's super motivating!

So glad to hear you're doing well. I'm on Ozempic and it's a little hard to work out still, but I try to keep up with walking and strength training. It's not easy lugging around extra weight!
