You resemble Angela Simmons so much! Congratulations; you're beautiful!

Beautiful! Great work x

Excellent summary. One small clarification regarding heart rate: glucagon receptor activation can increase energy expenditure, but heart rate response is highly individual and dose dependent. We should be cautious about assuming Survo is "cardio-neutral" until larger datasets confirm that. For...

Yeah, Gym_Lady is right. The FAQ on that reddit is really helpful. I'm trying to stay patient and remember that everyone responds differently. Congrats again to the OP though, major inspo!

What a huge difference, congrats!

I totally get the frustration, Robin18. It's like people expect you to stay the same. I think a lot of people just don't understand the struggles we face with weight. It's more than just 'diet and exercise'.

I've been taking Ozempic for about a month and a bit and haven't lost anything yet *cries*. You look fantastic, congrats!

I only censored that word because I didn't want to accidentally expose anyone vulnerable to pro-anorexia content.

I'm curious how others manage this. I've been on a weight loss journey for a long time. I'm 5'6". I was about 330-340lbs like a decade ago. I had bariatric surgery back in '11. Got to 175lbs, then slowly crept back up to around 230lbs over several years. I started GLP-1s when I was around 230...

While we're talking about body changes... has anyone noticed stomach wrinkles after losing a bunch of weight? I've lost almost 50 pounds and now my stomach wrinkles weirdly when I flex. I've been lifting for a year, hoping that will help, but no luck so far.

I lost hair when I started intermittent fasting originally. So, when I started Mounjaro I started taking biotin and collagen every day. Seems to have worked, and my hair has been fine.

Was bald before. Still bald.

That's probably the glucagon doing its thing. Reta doesn't do that to me. I take magnesium every night, which helps my heart a lot – I don't need blood pressure meds anymore. I also have benign PVCs, and I haven't had any heart flutters on Reta.

The link above doesn't seem to be working; try this one: https://img.innoventbio.com/Innovent_Clinical_Data_Update_of_Mazdutide_IBI362_2024_ADA_20240624_vf.pdf Very fascinating; I'm wondering how it works without the GIP agonism like Reta.

You're right.

Mazdutide is like oxyntomodulin (OXM), a natural hormone in our bodies, but it's been tweaked to last much longer. This article mentions: Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a dual agonist that boosts energy and curbs appetite, which leads to losing weight. Since OXM doesn't last long, they've been working...

😳 Insanity and very scary!

I tell my patients that even if they're not up for a full meal, getting in some protein is key, like others have said. A protein shake, some greek yogurt, or even just a handful of nuts can make a difference.

Crazy! I didn't know about any doxing, I stopped reading. But a test was done and all was good. I don't know what started the drama - maybe the pharmacy wouldn't post their test?

Seriously? What's the point of this post?
