    Aozuo - Anyone Heard Of 'Em?

    Aozuo comes up occasionally. Community consensus is still forming on them.

    Best time to start shots?

    Timing relative to the week matters less than consistency. Starting Friday versus Monday does not change outcomes. What matters is keeping the interval regular once you pick a day. The body adjusts to the schedule.

    Thigh injection spot?

    I inject into the top of my thigh. I've done it this way since 2018, after figuring out that injecting into my stomach wasn't a good plan (too many blood sugar crashes).

    Is this weight loss too fast?

    Just took my second dose yesterday and haven't lost a single pound. It's weird.

    Traveling with Glucagon-like Peptides?

    I just got back from a 2 week trip and here’s how I did things... I changed my injection day to the day before I left about a month prior to my trip. For me that was Wednesday and I only had to change it by a day. I did my injection the night before I left. I DID NOT inject the dose that...

    Rybelsus - one month in!

    For those new to oral semaglutide, it's super important to understand the special instructions. They aren't kidding about taking it on an empty stomach with a full glass of water, and waiting before eating or drinking anything else. This affects absorption. This is why the timing and routine are...

    Traveling with Glucagon-like Peptides?

    BUT….If your trip is only a week in length you might not have to skip a dose. You could take your dose Saturday June 6th (or the morning of the 7th) and then administer your next dose when you get back.

    Pics - More than meets the eye!

    The transformations are deeper than what these snapshots reveal. Started around 225 lbs in late November and reached my goal of 165 lbs the following November. I've maintained since then on 5mg every 10 days. In 2025, I'm focusing on strength with 3-4 weekly full-body weightlifting sessions and...

    Anyone experimenting with ketones?

    Hey ShrinkFixed, I just looked at some product descriptions and saw "raspberry ketones" which aren't even real ketone bodies. That might explain why you aren't feeling anything. From what I've researched, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts and BHB esters are the real deal. The esters supposedly...

    Anyone experimenting with ketones?

    Those strips are for a specific type of ketone (acetoacetate) that isn't found in most exo ketone supplements. You need a blood test to measure the type of ketone body commonly used in those supplements, like beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB).

    Anyone experimenting with ketones?

    I thought about taking them to help kickstart ketosis while dieting or to artificially inflate my ketone levels higher than what I can produce. The only way to know if something works is before and after bloodwork, IMO. Everyone reacts differently. I've got a blood ketone meter but couldn't get...

    Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

    I think you're right. Maybe it's a distribution thing? I'm pretty consistently losing the weight all over, not in one specific area.

    Body dysmorphia is the worst, but the scale doesn't misrepresent, friend.

    Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

    So, I've been injecting Ozempic since late fall of '24. I'm taking 2mg currently. I was around 250lbs when I started. This morning, the scale read 196lbs. That's the lowest I've weighed in decades. I'm in the 100's again! I just wish I could see that looking back at me from the mirror.
