    Reta Results: Muscle Loss Real?

    Lifters on this seem to do okay if they keep volume reasonable. I'm running upper/lower split twice each per week - top sets to failure, one back-off, calories around maintenance minus 200. Legs I keep as cardio mostly (rower 20 min plus light dumbbells) since I'm not chasing leg mass. Lost...

    Mounjaro side effects got too bad 😭

    I'm going to try to get back on it but maybe I'll try splitting the dose up like Riley03 suggested. Maybe that will help with the side effects. I REALLY don't want to gain anything back. I saw some posts about people being on maintenance now, that sounds amazing! I saw a thread where someone was...

    Mounjaro side effects got too bad 😭

    Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I'm definitely going to look into some of these things. Food-IMO, I think I will ask for some scans to make sure nothing else is going on, good idea. Riley03, I will ask my doctor about other meds, too. I really appreciate it!

    Feeling sick all the time on sema?

    Everyone's different. Been on semaglutide two years, down about 110 pounds. Appetite suppression was heaviest at first dose, lightened at higher ones, then back and forth. Never lost hunger completely, no side effects.

    Mounjaro side effects got too bad 😭

    You mentioned eating only plain rice and toast because of the pain. Rice can cause constipation, so maybe you were making things worse without realizing it. One thing that's helped me become more regular is using my morning protein shake instead of milk in a bowl of Protein Cheerios. The oats...

    Reta - When does the magic happen?

    the 'low and slow' cult on reddit and fb is intense but studies actually show you get better results on higher doses if you have weight to lose. there's no advantage to staying low but try saying that in some groups lol.

    GLP-1 meds: Insurance coverage?

    quit cold turkey and gained 8 lbs the first week. my doc threw phentermine at the hunger problem while insurance fought us. three months off, blood sugar started dipping bad in the afternoons. a1c crept back to pre-diabetic. finally said screw it and started the pill version to save money.

    Mounjaro side effects got too bad 😭

    I've been on Mounjaro since spring of '25 and I'm down 55 pounds. It felt so good to actually lose some weight after struggling for years because of my disability. Around December, I started getting major stomach problems (think sulfur burps and cramps), but it wasn't too bad, so I just took...

    Tirzepatide death link?

    sry's us warehouse was solid sometimes before things got messy with particles and they disappeared. lately i prefer buying from small domestic resellers on tg. my favorite us warehouse has high minimums now and doesn't have much variety for this stuff except overpriced options.

    Down 80, feeling great!

    I've mainly focused on changing my eating habits. I've had minimal side effects, which I think is correlated. Once I get closer to my goal, I want to start jogging. The extra weight held me back before!

    Down 80, feeling great!

    I suggest measuring your body and tracking your progress that way too.

    Down 80, feeling great!

    I've dropped 78 pounds in eight months; I'm at 205, down from 283 last spring. My goal is 170. I don't have pictures when I was at my highest weight, but I have some from when I was around 250. I've been over 215 for most of my life, since I was a young teen. It's unbelievable that this is...

    Anyone else freezing on these meds?!

    Yeah, man, I've been dragging lately too. It's almost like my body's just not getting enough juice!

    I’m cold all the time! Also my BP went from 140/94 down to 114/87 … good stuff.

    Anyone else freezing on these meds?!

    I was always the one who felt too hot when others were comfy. This is new for me!

    Anyone else freezing on these meds?!

    Yep! Had this problem with the other one and now this one too. I've been wearing sweaters and flannels to bed with more blankets. I told my wife yesterday it feels like the cold from the foundation is coming up through my shoes. I have a space heater and heated mittens. My cold tolerance is...

    Anyone else freezing on these meds?!

    So, around late spring/early summer, I noticed if the A/C was under 75, I'd get chilly. Now that it's actually cold outside, I'm struggling! Usually, I keep my place at 68 when I'm up and 65 when sleeping. Now, anything under 70 feels like Antarctica! I'm wearing layers, using 3 blankets plus...

    Reta progress - 3 weeks in!

    Did you start at 3mg or did you gradually increase your dose? Any side effects besides the skin thing? I'm around 220 and was thinking of starting at .5mg to avoid any issues. 3mg seems like a lot for someone lighter than me, but there aren't really any official guidelines other than the studies...
