    Down 60, feeling good!

    60 pounds is genuinely great - the Hospira pricing complaint is a tax we all pay for caring about BAC quality. Congrats on hitting that mark.

    Brewing my own BAC water?

    DIY BAC is doable but the contamination risk isn't trivial - commercial BAC removes that variable at small cost.

    UK Folks: Sharps Disposal?

    Just leave them the house. Seems like a fair exchange.

    GLP-1 progress reports!

    I saw someone mention they gained the weight back. It's important to remember that these meds can affect your hypothalamus. That can make it harder to maintain your weight loss if you stop abruptly. Talk to a registered dietician for advice on how to manage that transition, if you're considering...

    UK Folks: Sharps Disposal?

    Morning, everyone. I'm in the UK. I've mixed up my first dose, which is great. But I can't figure out the best way to get rid of my sharps container once it's full. I've been searching online without success. How do you all handle it?

I began semaglutide around January this year, and after about 39 weeks, I've managed to shed approximately 39...

    GLP-1s and Sleep: What to Expect

    Great thread. One nuance to add: with retatrutide specifically, the glucagon receptor activity may increase energy expenditure but can also alter hepatic glucose output. In theory, that could contribute to perceived "energy swings" early in treatment. I agree with your staged approach rather...

    Starting my GLP-1 journey! 🥳

    I totally get that. It's not always about the number on the scale, but about feeling like you can do the things you enjoy. I hope it helps you get back to your dance and yoga!

    Starting my GLP-1 journey! 🥳

    I'm using small doses too, to lose about 15 lbs related to menopause and to help with inflammation. My doctor thinks it will help me feel better. Some people have strong opinions about it. We're all responsible for our own health. Don't listen to the negative people. Good luck, I think you will...
