I quit all GLPs cold for a month last October, and pizza never tasted better. Weeks one to three were fine, then week four was humbling, with weight rising almost daily. Without the meds, I like the lessthanhalf approach of steering clear of addictive foods almost religiously (easier on diets...

Yes, same for me! Sadly Europe still carries lots of shame around these meds because people are uneducated on it. Some podcasts eased my mind, one with an excellent GLP episode helped me decide to start after my doc recommended it. Another one on fat science made me an advocate and erased my...

Try to avoid drawing quick conclusions, particularly around unfamiliar territory. PCOS is new territory for me, so appreciate you pointing that out, going to read more. Usually when I see someone very young wanting to lose just ten pounds, I'd steer them toward something other than a GLP-1...

What awful timing! At least the food poisoning's confirmed unrelated to the medication itself. Hope recovery's quick and the rest of the journey turns out way less eventful than day one.

Came across a thread once with a helpful metaphor for people weighing whether to come off these medications. (Congrats!) Tapering off eventually is possible, but don't underestimate the timeline involved staying on GLP-1s. From what I've read, it can stretch years, and some people likely need to...

Middle-aged guy here. Five weeks in and just moved up to my first higher dose. Planning a month at that level, then another month up from there. Checking labs afterward before the next doctor visit. Allow myself a small cheat on weekends but keep it light given how unpleasant overdoing it or...

Congrats!! Been following your posts for a while, genuinely thrilled for you. Keep pushing... it's definitely not effortless, and you look fantastic! :)

Genuinely rough at a 1.0 amount, even after spending a while at .75 first. Symptoms sound nearly identical. Even tried splitting things into two .5 doses across the week. The constant sickness made everyday life genuinely miserable. The doctor pulled things back down to .25, and the plan is...

Told my doctor upfront I wasn't interested in starting this drug class unless I could commit to it permanently. Lost and regained the same 50 pounds so many times I've lost count, and I'm completely finished with that pattern. Only 5 more pounds until I start figuring out what long-term upkeep...

Getting a fancy scale in a few days. Never noticed real muscle loss until I hit 170. After that my rear and arms got skinny. Starting strength work tomorrow. Rare but possible with fast weight loss from bariatric-type situations. Lost all the fat cushioning in my sinus tubes making them huge...
