First week is the hardest because you have no baseline yet. Weeks 2-4 are when you see what your normal on it actually looks like.

Working too well is a framing problem. The population-level concern is real - if efficacy holds at scale, the downstream effects on metabolic disease are significant. At the individual level the question is almost never about it working too well.

577 to 361 is not a number you throw around casually. That is 216 pounds and a completely different life. The pricing journey is a whole other thing - what you described going from $200/month to watching it get cheaper is exactly how this market has moved and it makes a real difference in who...

So true about the constipation! Fiber is your friend. Also, I can't handle carbonated drinks anymore. They give me awful burps!

I def tasted the med the first time (I always do with shots!). Plus, headache. Sip water and eat small meals. Good luck!

That's so true! The more hate it got, the more I was like, "Okay, there's gotta be something to this." Now I just brush off the haters. They're probably just jealous, tbh.

Exactly! It's not the 'easy way out.' It's a tough road that actually works!

It's wild, folks. Ever since I've been shrinking, people don't ask me for diet tips or anything. They just straight up ask if I'm hooked on something or went under the knife. I've been using a GLP-1 for more than a year, been up and down with adjusting the dosage with my doc's help. It was a...

Thanks OldPath695! Good to know it's not just me going crazy. I'm gonna try upping the dose like ShrinkingSheila suggested. Maybe that'll do the trick.

I'm going up and down a couple pounds, but I'm also putting on muscle at the gym. Hard to tell what's what! Haha. I started on Sema, then switched to reta pretty quickly. It was working awesome until I hit 8. It's like my body finally realized it's been running on empty and wants to catch up. Lol

Okay, so I've been scaling up my dose like the studies said, and I'm at 8mg now. The stomach rumbles are a bit worse, no surprise there, but I'm also STARVING. Like craving sweets and junk food like crazy. Anyone else get this? Does it chill out eventually?

So true. It's exhausting to second-guess everything you eat! I'm on week 3 of a GLP-1 and down 4 pounds. It's amazing to finally have some "willpower."

Looking good!

I started getting headaches every week a few days after my shot. It got so bad I couldn't work some days. I'm gonna talk to my doc about it.

Just starting week 3. Been feeling super dehydrated the last few days and water wasn't cutting it. Grabbed a bunch of sports drinks this morning and feel much better now!

You look so radiant!

You look fab! And that haircut really suits you.

Amazing job. What kind of exercise did you do every day?

Wow! You look amazing! Keep up the awesome effort!

I'm about 5 weeks into this, and I feel like I haven’t lost an ounce. Seeing stuff like this gives me hope tho!
