    Ozempic success!

    Mood med blood sugar effects plus GLP-1 benefit in one step is a real overlap.

    Tirz now or wait for Klow?

    Tirz foundation first, Klow added when supply is stable and price makes sense - that's the sensible order.

    Community experience threads are how vendor decisions actually get made.

    It is pretty wild! Never thought I'd see the day. It's the little victories, right?

    Weird Places You're Getting Thin?

    My ring size is down to a 3 now. Haven’t been able to get my rings on in ages.

    Weird Places You're Getting Thin?

    LOL! My wedding band almost went flying off in the supermarket parking lot the other day! (Thankfully, I caught it!)

    Injection site: Does it matter?

    I agree with Drew14, rotating sites is key. I usually do stomach one week, then alternate thighs the next two weeks, then back to the stomach. Keeps any one area from getting too sore.

    Down 80 lbs... finally seeing it!

    I totally get that feeling of looking back and seeing how far you've come. I remember when I started this journey, I was probably around 250-260, maybe even more. Now, seeing the changes in my face and body is what keeps me going, not just with the meds, but with the lifestyle adjustments too...

    Reta dose - up too fast?

    I've been wondering about using "click counting" to save money since the bigger pens cost the same as the small ones... anyone doing that?

    Reta dose - up too fast?

    That's what I'm doing, while also tapering off another med. I've dropped ~120 pounds and I'm at my target weight now, but I could lose another 5-10 while improving my body composition. I'm on week 8, and I've got way more energy to run every day – I started just walking, then gradually built up...

    Life changing! Down 6 stone!

    I started on the lowest dose, 2.5mg. It's a marathon, not a sprint! Good luck with your journey!

    Life changing! Down 6 stone!

    It took me a few months to really start seeing consistent losses, maybe 3-4? I cut out most processed foods and try to walk for at least 30 minutes most days. Nothing crazy, just trying to be more mindful.

    Life changing! Down 6 stone!

    Thanks for the encouraging words! I've only dropped about three pounds in the first month, and I'm getting worried seeing everyone else's stellar results. Any tips on exercise or movement that helped you? I see my doctor soon to up my dose to 5mg, so fingers crossed!

    Life changing! Down 6 stone!

    Just a heads up for folks just starting out and not seeing instant results. My biggest weight loss happened when I upped my dose to 10mg and higher. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen right away!

    Weight loss shots replacing surgery?

    I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2020. If I'd had access to semaglutide back then, I wouldn't have gone through with the surgery, honestly. I'm still happy with my decision, though. The sleeve got me from 312 to 200, and semaglutide took me from 200 down to 130.

    Generic Ozempic coming to Canada?

    It's like when the patent on eggs ended. Now we have generic eggs.

    Weight loss shots replacing surgery?

    I'm an RN as well, and while it's not surgery-related, I'm convinced that GLP-1 agonists are going to be game-changers in addiction treatment, especially for alcohol use disorder.
