Shortages on these compounds run in waves. The ones with backup supply lines say so early. Silent OOS is what precedes a longer gap.

65 pounds changes how you move through the world. The lurker-to-poster journey is part of the story too.

Fridge is the standard after puncture. Room temp works if fridge has extreme swings but most people stay with refrigerated. The bac water preservative handles repeated puncture - the question is degradation rate, not sterility.

Adding a food-timing data point: I moved my biggest meal of the day to lunch on shot day instead of dinner, and the evening sulphur burps basically stopped. Took maybe two weeks of the new routine to feel the full shift. Eating lighter at night seems to give the gut more breathing room while the...

Along these lines, has anyone had any weird reactions at the injection site? I've been getting an itchy rash after injecting and wondering if it's an allergy. I'm on 2.5mg.

Totally! I've dropped weight before without feeling this cold all the time. It's different this time.

That's the impression I got! Apparently, some doctors increase the dose too quickly. The Reddit post I saw said that you should stay at a dose that's working until you plateau, and *then* increase it. Some people even go back to the dose where they were losing weight.

I've heard from others that sometimes increasing the dose isn't always the answer. I saw a post on Reddit where someone went back to a lower dose and found it more effective. Maybe your body responds better to a smaller amount. It's definitely something to discuss with your doctor, though.

Congratulations! You look awesome 👍

I'm switching from Tirz to Reta. I use a certain app and a spreadsheet to keep track of everything. For the transition, I've gone with more frequent, smaller doses, and it's been going well with few to no side effects. A steadier state makes more sense to me with GLP-1s. Weekly pulses cause...

Looking fantastic!

I'm doing the same thing. I only wanted to use Reta for my...stuff. But now my fridge is full of other peps. lol Congrats on your journey!

Great question! Many patients find a maintenance dose helps them sustain their progress. It's something to discuss with your doctor to make sure it's medically appropriate for you.

:fire:

Congrats on the great work! We're on similar journeys, but you're ahead of me. I started in May too, stayed at lower doses for months, and just upped them last month. I've shed almost 30 pounds. And like you, I'm rediscovering clothes in my closet that fit again!!

Honestly, both pictures are fantastic. 🤌🏼

Congrats!! I can't wait until I feel good in my own skin again.

That's 120lbs a year. Think about that. If someone told you a year from now you would be that much lighter you'd be thrilled. Don't judge yourself by others – judge it by your progress before starting Mounjaro.
