Haha, battle scars indeed!

It's a weird feeling, celebrating the results but also dealing with new challenges. I can't inject into my stomach anymore; I've lost 90+ lbs, which I never thought would happen after two decades of weight fluctuations. The loose skin is what I expected, but I didn't realize it would make...

IF-warrior, I've seen that too. Some people online mention BPC-157 potentially affecting dopamine and causing mood issues. It's not a super well-researched area in humans, though.

The effects are minimal at best, definitely not worth the expense. It's generally considered to only be effective when used in combination with a GLP-1 agonist. There are far better things to add to a GLP-1 than AOD to enhance results. However, I'm not judging anyone who finds it beneficial...

I wish I had your experience! The energy drain was too much for me. I'm glad it's working well for you, though.

So happy for you. I managed to drop 23 pounds recently, about 12 in 8 weeks using similar meds. I had to stop, though, since I felt totally drained. I've never felt better. When I restarted eating well and exercising regularly, the weight kept falling off. I just wish I'd had the energy while...

Nice work!

Congratulations, truly amazing. I'm starting to see some similar changes myself. For those just starting out, remember to be patient and trust the process. It takes time and consistency!

Outstanding work! Your features are really accentuated now!

This. When people drop carbs unintentionally on these meds, muscle glycogen falls quickly. Glycogen is stored with water, so you also lose intracellular water, which contributes to that "deflated" look and feeling. For anyone doing higher volume hypertrophy work, strategic carbohydrate timing...

I agree it's a lifelong thing. I've been reading that people who go off these meds often need to go back on. I'm trying to avoid that by focusing on exercise and diet now. Has anyone else experienced needing a second round on sema or tirz?

I needed to see this today. I'm on MJ right now, doing well (down about 35 lbs since late summer), but I'm worried about life after. I'm focusing on sustainable lifestyle adjustments that fit my life, so hopefully, I can maintain my progress. Thanks for sharing! 🤗

I'm telling you, the non-scale victories are the best. Seeing your face change, fitting into smaller clothes... that's what keeps me motivated!

Congratulations! I'm so envious.

I have to admit, one of the best things about losing weight has been the clothes. It's actually fun to shop now, instead of a chore. I had to make room in my closet because I'm buying so much!

Congratulations!!!!

Maybe the exhaustion is from eating way less food now?

Yeah, I get it...

Me too! I graduated CST but quickly learned you need a license to be respected in medicine. So, five months later, I was doing the LPN thing.

Just use alcohol wipes on the vial before *and* after you draw with your syringe.
