    First month on Zepbound - my thoughts

    It sounds like you're off to a great start so far. Don’t be discouraged if things slow down a bit. Congrats on making these lifestyle changes and putting in the effort. You should be proud of what you've achieved and all of your hard work!

    Tirz vs Sema for mental health?

    Have you considered switching to retatrutide? From what I've been reading, it seems better than both semaglutide and tirzepatide in terms of side effects.

    Ozempic Cost - Ouch!

    Saw a similar situation in another thread. Some insurance companies want to see you lose around 5% of your body weight within the first 6 months. If you aren't losing weight, they may not cover it.

    Ozempic Cost - Ouch!

    It's insane how much more it costs! I started last week through a private online doc (can't move much with this foot), cost me 70e for the consult and 110e for the monthly pen. So about 200usd. I'm located in Finland.

    Weight loss on GLP-1s depends on what you eat?

    You're onto the real issue. Diet quality makes all the difference in how much you actually lose. Been learning a ton from paying attention to what different doctors say about this.

    Ozempic Cost - Ouch!

    You can also investigate the Costco discount program, or find compounding pharmacies, as has been mentioned. That GoodRx coupon is def a good idea. The money I save on food each month pretty much balances out the $500 I spend through Costco, so it might be more affordable than you think.

    Under 300 club!

    Good point. Losing too fast can sometimes lead to problems such as gallstones, vitamin deficiencies, hair thinning, and loose skin. Slow and steady wins the race!

    Hit my goal weight!

    I dropped 45 pounds since starting - down from 317 to 272. Still targeting another 92 to reach my final goal, but the progress feels real.

    Reta-TRUE-tide... or not?

    Don't forget that weightlifting is crucial for boosting metabolism. Muscle tissue burns more calories. That's why folks who lift heavy can often eat more without gaining weight.

    Hit my goal! Now what?

    Congratulations 🎊 🥰 CareTBH, would you mind sharing what dosage you're taking every 10 days? I'm about 10lbs away from my goal, and I'm trying to figure out how to maintain without losing more. The 10-day thing intrigues me, but I don't know if I should stick with my current dose.

    Reta-TRUE-tide... or not?

    I'd be happy to help. I've been on semaglutide for about a year, and it's been quite a journey.

    Ipam/Sermo Experiences?

    I think OldFWIW mentioned DatBTrue way back when. Lots of insightful info from that user. Thanks OldFWIW!

    2-Year Sema Journey!

    I'd be scared to go off completely. Seems like you have to make some SERIOUS diet changes to maintain. I'm tracking everything right now, even though it's a pain.
