You're 23 away from your goal so you're doing well. I deliberately stayed at 8 mg, then introduced 1 mg Cagri gradually to shed those last 10 without jumping higher, and plan to discontinue Cagri afterward. May increase to 10 mg but attempting to remain under 15. The lower your endpoint, the...

I agree 100% with PickyEaterPro! It's not just about the pounds. This med can change your whole outlook! I'm seeing more self-confidence now that I'm losing weight.

Totally! Just walking to the car without being drenched was a win for me!

It varies from person to person but generally people start seeing significant changes once they get to the maintenance dose. Don't get discouraged!

Also, a word of caution: be careful about sourcing research peptides. Only get semaglutide from a legitimate source. There are a lot of fakes and potentially dangerous products out there.

When appetite is suppressed, focusing on nutrient-dense foods is key. Even small portions of lean protein, like fish or poultry, can make a difference. Also, consider liquid options like protein shakes or smoothies with added fruit and vegetables for essential vitamins and minerals.

If you're on TikTok, there are short videos showing you how to mix it and figure out the right amount per injection. I was nervous too, but learning more made me feel better! There are calculators online to help with the math.

Are you using an app to monitor your progress and measurements?

I like your shirt!

The official FDA Recommended Daily Allowance for protein is only 0.36 grams per pound of body weight. A lot of people are surprised when they find out that. The body building world often recommends much much more.

Hi LightTale, there are benefits and drawbacks. The meds can lead to significant weight loss, but they aren't for cosmetic reasons; they're for people with health issues related to their weight. Possible risks and side effects should always be carefully considered.

Keep in mind that oral GLP-1s might offer better acceptance and adherence for some patients. It's all about choosing the right tool for the individual.

I saw a report that GLP-1s can also curb alcohol cravings. Has anyone else noticed that?

Did the change in skin color also come from the medicine?

What dosage were you taking when you noticed the vision changes? Also, did you have a workout routine? I'm on 0.25 for 4 months now and only shed about 13 pounds, feeling a bit down about it.

I've been seeing more about compounded GLP-1s lately. Anyone know anything about the safety/legality of those?

I doubt it's even that much. Some companies are shipping stuff that's been sitting at room temp for months. Most peptides can handle room temp for quite a while, like maybe even a year. It would be interesting to see some of that older stuff tested to see how much it actually degrades.

There is a good calculator for peptide dosing here:

Each dose is 1/4 of the vial so it's 1/4 of the liquid you add. If you use a 1ml/100 unit syringe, you'd have four 25 unit doses. Adding a lot of water just means injecting more liquid, but it's still the same amount of medication.

I've heard of people having bad reactions to peptides. One person I know took a peptide and felt like they had the flu within minutes.
