52kg and 9 to go is the hardest stretch for most people - the deficit narrows and motivation dips right when the finish line is visible. That part is normal and it ends.

Food noise returning after a year at 1mg is the dose plateau signal - a step-up to 1.5mg or 2mg usually brings the suppression back within a few weeks.

Video is a good start. Steady pressure and not rushing the draw-back is the main technique. Natural after a few tries.

Sometimes those non-scale victories are the best! I had to wedge myself into a booth at a diner once, it was so embarassing. Now I'm excited to not need a seatbelt extender on my next flight. Congrats on fitting in the seat!

The article mentions semaglutide, and how this could be replicated. I'm personally holding out for affordable Tirzepatide!

Yeah, the 'food noise' is real! It's amazing how much that med quiets that down, isn't it?

This is great! The rebound can be tough. Be careful.

I think what Mel93 is saying is that you're only *supposed* to use it that way, but a lot of us are figuring out how to get more doses out of it. It's not officially recommended!

Travelling around Japan involves tons of walking, and the food is delicious AND healthier than Western food. You'll be just fine.

It's true, there can be downsides. Sometimes fixing one thing brings up other stuff. Weight loss can change your whole self-image and that can be a shock for your partner, or for you.

This might be a dumb question but where are you getting the extra needles? If a 5mg pen can give 8x 2.5mg doses, but the pharmacy only gave me 4 needles....

I'm not Dutch, and I'm not really looking for a relationship, but losing weight has messed with my dating life, honestly. It's a thing for a lot of people. Check out the term 'Ozempic divorce.' I don't think it's just a Dutch thing.

I track the clicks. I've been getting way more use out of my pens that way. I'm taking 5mg when I was prescribed a 7.5mg pen. I've brought my weight down 60 lbs over 7 months. And also I pull out the golden dose with a tiny needle.

Yeah, that mental battle gets old. I remember before starting this It was like I was always thinking about food, always planning the next meal, even right after eating. So exhausting!

Same here, been on this for a couple weeks, not hungry but always thinking about food. Been chugging water, coffee, and protein shakes to feel full. Sometimes it's enough to ignore the cravings, or I just have a tiny bit and it scratches the itch.

Inspired by your journey! I remember struggling to even walk without getting winded. Now, I can stand for an hour without even breaking a sweat! It's a huge NSV!

Girl You’re A VISION

Amazing progress! And you were gorgeous before, too! 🤩

Good advice! Fiber is key. I add a scoop of Benefiber to my coffee every morning and it really helps with regularity. Keeps me feeling full longer too.

I remember once, way before Ozempic, I let out a crazy loud burp on a date because I was looking out the window and forgot myself. On a first date! 😂 I thought it was hysterical, but he was NOT amused. Never heard from him again. My hubby now loves my burps or at least puts up with them lol...
