Same boat here. I'm close to 60 pounds down and genuinely can't tell looking in the mirror. Then I tried squeezing into something I know didn't fit a month back. So the change is definitely real, I just can't see it myself.

If you've got the time, I bet plenty of people here would love a full Q&A from you, not many of us have put in the years you have. Curious though, do you remember roughly how many months in your own hunger suppression started leveling off? I'm at week 31 myself and 7.5mg barely does anything for...

Started at 1mg weekly and the highest I ever went was 3mg weekly. Kept it slow and steady the whole way.

Try the thigh if you havent. Anecdotally it gives fewer GI side effects, though I cant say if thats real or placebo. My first weeks in the belly meant lots of nausea. For my third and fourth shots (0.25) I used the thigh, and the nausea eased a lot. Shot five went back to the belly and Ive...

peweerocket Outstanding, genuinely proud of you! What a motivating update. Curious how long each dose stage lasted for you and which one brought the biggest drop. Also wondering what your eating looked like through all this.

Im about to move up to .5, but ill probably split the dose over the next fortnight since im scared of getting wrecked. Zero appetite suppression so far, so i hope it starts soon!

Maintenance for me now; my treat day is always the one ahead of my shot day, since my appetite lets me manage more food then. I think it has kept that feeling of missing out away.

Might be time to bump your deficit and your activity slightly. Ive lost 23kg since early Feb, and I started at 124kg. Daily intake is about 1400 cals via My Fitness Pal, plus 3 or 4 workouts weekly. My loss has been steady while sticking to this routine. I also get about 100g of protein daily...

Ive been titrating up for a while. No more increases from me, so im just living with hunger signals slowly coming back. Resting rate climbed roughly 10bpm at the outset on 500mcg and has held there since. Sleeping fine. Most of my calorie burn probably comes from lifting and cardio, not from Reta.

Starting this scared me to death. Weight loss isnt even my main reason, its there to manage A1C and heart risk. Cholesterol problems and fatty liver both run in the family, and i already have the liver one at 42. Yay. Anyway, i started in Dec. It turned out i respond super strongly, so .75mg was...

Youll probably get 100 replies, and theres another thread on the same topic, but anyway. The 28 day rule stems from hospitals and pharmacies being overly cautious, since those settings are full of germs, fine. Poking the vial two to four times, each with a new needle, wont hurt it. BAC water...

Im the reverse case: ive got a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis too, and Ozempic brought my HbA1c to 5.4, considered normal, in this months labs. 1.0mg gave me decent hunger control and quieter food noise, and i was still losing about 0.5 to nearly 1 lb a week, pretty good for me. A month later we...

Tesa and CJC compete for the same receptors when taken together, flooding them. Its roughly 1+1=3 when either one pairs with Ipa, but only about 1.5 total when they are paired with each other lol. It could still work if Tesa shifted to the AM, taken with the first Ipa shot of the day. Im...

People here really seem to think the dose, not eating less and moving more, is what drives loss. Feels like built in excuses. Its simple: a calorie deficit from eating and moving is what produces loss. Lots of people assume a higher dose, without a lifestyle review, is the immediate answer. 12...

Got everything mixed up for tomorrow morning, going to be quite the wake up call. Twenty eight weeks in, running a daily dose of one compound, a daily dose of NAD+, another three times weekly, plus a fourth one daily for the past seven weeks.

Seen versions both with and without BA at 0.9 percent. All of them run sodium chloride at that same concentration regardless. Don't personally use it, but if I did I'd probably go with Hospira.

Absolutely get it. On this long term since it manages my diabetes so effectively. Repaired quite a bit of cardiac damage and finally ditched that awful cpap machine at night because of it. Just wish it was cheaper and easier for everyone who needs it to actually get.

Worth reviewing your full intake numbers to confirm you're eating enough relative to how much extra activity you're doing. You could try raising the dose, though as I said earlier, calming food noise just isn't reta's typical strength. Possible you were so fixated on the weight loss goal that...

5 foot tall and currently right at my target of losing 40 pounds, started at 140. Took nine months total, with that final stretch dragging and moving slowly. Began on the oral form, transitioned to the injectable, and now easing toward maintenance. Dealt with rough nausea and exhaustion...

Lots of good input here already. Worth mentioning I started this medication class back in October, right as days started getting shorter heading into winter. By February, roughly where you're at now, I could barely drag myself out of bed. Just completely drained, every single day. That...
