If you get late night cravings, try some feta cheese, deli chicken, or a hard-boiled egg. They're full of protein. Also, you might need a higher dose of Ozempic. I started on 0.25 and felt nothing. On 0.5, the food noise went down a little, and I lost about 3 pounds. Now I'm on 1 for a month...

Places ditch PP when PP gets suspicious and freezes their funds. More of a headache than it's worth, especially if it's a personal account. Crypto's not that hard to learn. I'd avoid BTC for buying stuff and go with stablecoins.

Some of the newer companies that are part of the big consortium here might. I'd recommend searching the forum for "PayPal" and seeing what pops up. Don't forget to check the market area for vendors.

Amazing work! You look fantastic. I've lost around 80lbs, and I have maybe 20 more to go. People keep telling me to stop now or that I've lost enough, but I still feel overweight, according to guidelines.

I see a HUGE difference. Congrats!

Drugs affect dopamine pathways tied to food urges and the noisy thoughts around eating. Appears to influence alcohol disorders too. Tirzepatide might help that.

I saw a post about someone who lost 117lbs in about a year and a half! They started on Ozempic but switched to Mounjaro because of gastroparesis. They also eat a ton of protein, are super active, and lift weights. So inspiring!

Totally fair enough, Patti_Real. I have some BED issues myself, nowhere NEAR as destructive as it was when I was younger, but it's still a struggle. I did a high dose of tirz, and also have some Survo to use if needed. The tirz is working out great for me. I haven't had any compulsive eating...

I saw someone mention hair and muscle loss from rapid weight loss. That's a great point, I'm going to try to add some protein shakes and maybe some vitamins to my diet.

I'm curious as to why you are switching to reta instead of trying tirz first? No judgement, but I thought of it as sema-tirz-reta representing small, medium, and large doses. What factors made you pick reta?

Impressive, what was the highest dosage you were on? You look incredible!

Could you share what your typical daily eating habits look like? I've lost 17 lbs so far. I'm basically eating whatever I want but in smaller portions. Trying to cut back on carbs... Your results are super impressive.

Yep, huge shortage. My wife's been off it for almost a month because the pharmacies can't get it. She's on a waiting list now. Though, I see it all over the place online....

I've read about studies looking at combining GLP-1s with other things to help with muscle loss during weight loss. Something to keep an eye on!

Everything got slammed before the holiday, then the holiday itself shut everything down for weeks. US warehouses are probably running on fumes. That's my guess!

Stock up while you can! It's like stocking up on protein powder when it's on sale, why not?

Thanks for all the kind words. Using Ozempic for both diabetes and weight, and it's been huge for my blood sugar numbers and fasting glucose (jumped from 11.2 last summer down to under 6 now!). Going to keep going up on the dose until the appetite noise goes away like my doc said. Still at 1.75...

About 9 months!

I'd be happy with your before picture! 😂 You look amazing either way! 👍🥳

Down 41! I was not at my heaviest when starting Mounjaro, but this is the lightest I've been in my adult life. Next goal: pack on some serious muscle! 💪🏼
