Thanks everyone for the support! It really helps. Honestly, the hardest part is still believing it's real. I keep waiting for it to stop working lol.

I lost 30 pounds and then hit a wall, so I started reta at around 1 and bumped to 2 a couple weeks later while dialing back the tirz slightly. That combo gave me a real energy shift and got things moving again. Sometimes I'll run just reta for a couple weeks when the side effects stack up, then...

What dose are you currently using?

Hey everyone, I'm new here. Wanted to share my journey so far. Started at 338lbs and now I'm down to 285lbs in about 6 months! A total loss of 53lbs. So happy!

That's amazing! What's been your biggest challenge?

Ninety-nine pounds is incredible! You're doing great [emoji]

You look wonderful!

I was also looking into sermorelin, but the cost seemed really high. I need to inject it every night before bed. Is there anything cheaper that anyone knows about?

I've noticed that I feel kinda sick if I overeat now. Like, real stomach bug symptoms sometimes. Anyone else experience that?

I'll suggest a natural fix I tried this week: a dragon fruit. Eat the whole thing, and you'll be visiting the toilet real soon.

The patent with Novo ended in January. But the generic brands need approval still. I heard there are about 9 generic brands awaiting approvals, and they think prices will be about 65% lower once they're approved. The brand name might get cheaper too, to compete, but generics should be the...

I also have IBS-D, and Miralax has been a lifesaver for the constipation. I put a scoop in my morning coffee, and everything's usually moving by lunchtime.

I'm new to this whole thing. I'm on my first week of point-2-five, and I'm already feeling less hungry, but I'm also tired at times. I've lost about 9 pounds which is crazy!

Maybe we can archive this whole section now?

Just a heads up, for me Reta was kinda slow to kick in the sides. I'd suggest starting on a Saturday morning so you have time to gauge how you respond and seek medical attention if necessary.

How cold you need to store it depends on how long you need it. If you're only using one kit, a year in the fridge is fine. If you're hoarding for years, then freeze it. I just freeze mine anyway. Too much stuff for the butter compartment, which is my fridge med storage. I keep stuff for 60+...

I'm so happy for everyone who's had success with these meds. I still get nauseous sometimes and get sad realizing how big I let myself get. I knew I was bigger but seeing pics of myself made me realize I had gained another 15 or so pounds. I'm glad I got my first dose a few weeks after that...

Your happiness is all that matters. Ignore the negativity!

I definitely think anyone who makes comments about someone else’s weight needs to be told off…but I also get what you mean about never feeling thin enough, even after making progress and feeling healthier. I can’t seem to get below 190, and I feel like I’ll never be seen as normal.

I just started tirzepatide last week. So nervous about side effects. Any tips?
