Congrats!!!! And yes, definitely work on toning!

8 months is SO quick! I wish that could be me. Amazing work! Did you work out too? Any specific diet? I'm doing okay, but don't think I'll be in the 130s in under a year.

So if I have a 5mg vial and want to dose at 250mcg, how much water do I add?

That's great news to hear! I was a heavy smoker for over 20 years, I've got absolutely no desire for alcohol. I've also dropped 150 pounds. Ozempic has been a blessing. I don't care what anyone else says, I'm grateful for this med.

I just got a box from them a few days ago with an expiration in May 2026.

Amazing!! Do you know how much you dropped the first month?

OK, here goes.... This one source has a great product, awesome support, and even throws in little freebies sometimes. Plus, it's still cheaper than getting it compounded. 🤭

I almost posted his info - he's got it in his sig - but I thought it would look like I was a paid promoter lol

That's a huge difference. Best of luck on your weight loss!

This is kinda old but good to start with.

What's an NSV?

Check out those legs! Amazing progress! Almost no cellulite anymore! Congrats! 💗🎊🤘🏻

Congrats! That is awesome to hear.

Wow, I’m only a month and a half in with my wife, and this is really motivating! We hope to be where you are eventually!

Cool. You look great!

Needed to read this today! Thanks!

Pat_75, most are injections, but semaglutide has an oral form, though it's only approved for diabetes right now. You need a prescription from a doctor.

The downside? Some lean mass loss, which could be a problem for older HIV patients and frailty. GI side effects are common (nausea, etc.). And getting insurance to cover it can be a pain, especially for weight loss purposes. Anyone have experience with this themselves?

For HIV patients, studies showed about 5 kg weight loss and a 2-point BMI reduction with GLP-1 RAs. Some trials even suggested they might work *better* in HIV-positive folks with diabetes. Also, good news for the liver, potentially reducing triglyceride content and inflammation!

She mentioned that GLP-1 RAs can lower A1C levels and even reduce cardiovascular mortality. The STEP trial showed semaglutide was way better than liraglutide for weight loss (16% vs 6%).
