    People are saying I look *sick*?!

    The 'you look sick' comments almost always come from people who've never seen someone lose weight this fast. Their frame of reference for what you should look like is the previous version, and 45 lbs changes that significantly. Being open about the medication helps some - takes the mystery out...

    MJ Two Years: Still Going!

    Two years from 303 to 158 is the kind of result that makes the skeptics go quiet. The skin removal chapter on top of that is the full arc - most people don't talk about it publicly but it's a real part of significant loss journeys. On the Renpho question: body fat percentage from impedance...

    What do you eat on the tough days?

    Hard-boiled eggs and cottage cheese come up most consistently for a reason - high protein, low effort, tolerates well when nothing sounds good. Greek yogurt is the same profile. Bland and cold usually works better than hot on nausea days. Having the easy options prepped ahead of time is the main...

    Retatrutide: Stock up or buy monthly?

    Nah, it'll stay in the freezer till I need to mix it. Then in the fridge after. We're moving up to 5mg next, so with the 60 vial and 3ml BAC, we'll get 12 doses at .25mg, which is 6 weeks for both of us. So, good with that for now. Not sure how high we'll go. I'll use the 60's first. And the...
