The story behind the result is what makes it stick.

Side effects mellowing out by months 2-3 is the consistent pattern. The first month feels permanent and it usually is not. The research/doctor dynamic is a real tension - some providers are genuinely curious and collaborative, some are not. Finding one in the first group makes the whole process...

11% is real. The stopping question means different things depending on why - reaching a goal versus cost or access are separate decisions. Weight loss maintenance differs from the T2D case.

Adding to the dose-bump pattern: every titration step (2.5 to 5, 5 to 7.5, 7.5 to 10) brought sulphur burps back for 2-3 weeks then they leveled. Hydration and avoiding red meat for 3 days post-shot worked best for me each time. Felt frustrating to ride the wave each bump but knowing it was...

Your body will prioritize metabolizing alcohol before burning fat, so you're slowing yourself down for a few days. You gotta ask if it's worth it. It's counterproductive. Sure, some people still see results, but you'll lose more weight faster and generally feel better without alcohol.

I agree with Sassy-Health. Slow and steady wins the race! Less loose skin that way, supposedly. I'm trying to be patient.

I hardly saw any changes at first, but then, all of a sudden, you really will!

No issues here. I actually don't even think about drinking anymore.

Depending on your starting weight and height, 30 pounds might be a huge loss or not so much. I've lost nearly 45 pounds, and only my neighbor has said anything. A lot of initial weight loss is water. Be patient and keep going; it'll get better!

The first place I noticed was my neck and butt (which I wasn't measuring!). It happened fast.

TransformMe, yeah, the dosing is confusing. I started low and slow and titrated up until I felt the effects. Listen to your body!

Yep, just wait. Cankles *will* diminish. [emoji=wink]

I had pretty bad skin sensitivity when I increased my dose too fast. It lasted about a month, but it's mostly gone now. It's rare, though - maybe 1 in 10 people get it. I doubt getting a tattoo would make it worse.

Just bumping this to say that there was a recent recall on some injectables from a pharmacy. Apparently some of their stuff was out of spec. Just a heads up to be careful out there.

You can find the answer if you search around the forum. Some users have shown where to find that vendor. There are also some tips to avoid fake groups. I'm not trying to be annoying, just following the forum rules. I'd DM you, but I don't want to start a bunch of DMs when the info is already...

I can't say exactly where because of the rules, but just know that that vendor doesn't sell singles.

It's just such a gift to have these meds. I think about my family too, like my aunt who had diabetes and struggled with her weight her whole life... Wish she had access to this. It's heartbreaking.

You look absolutely fantastic. Congratulations!

That's fantastic, Heavy_Lifting_Phil! Congrats! ❤️ The 'ashamed to go out' part really resonates with me. Wish I'd known about these options sooner.

How about asking your doctor, "I'm trying to make bone broth that will last forever! I need that bac water to keep the collagen from going bad!" Or "I'm trying to make infinite sourdough starter, but it keeps dying after a week. Help me achieve yeast immortality!"
