Worth trying, though you should really take a hard honest look first. Did your metabolism genuinely slow down? Because GLP-1s wont fix that specific problem. Or were you actually eating more due to stress? In that case, yeah, mounjaro could be genuinely life changing for you.

I started Wegovy on 3/22/26. Depression has been with me about 35 years and I've taken Zoloft that whole time, 50mg up to 100mg. Since starting Wegovy I actually feel better.

I began kpv about seven weeks back after reading a recent inspiring thread here. I had a slight irritation on my chest, barely visible but annoying, and hoped kpv would fix it. Nope, nothing. My derm scraped it Friday and is puzzled, so tomorrow I collect a prescription ointment. What kpv did do...

These things take years to actually resolve either way, so I wouldn't expect a real answer on whether the claims stick for a long time yet. Early stage noise is probably the accurate read for now.

Ozempic_OG_21 I added cagri to tirz for food noise back when tirz was 8mg for me. That dose was still working for weight, but the noise was creeping back, so I left tirz alone. Began cagri with 100mcg and went up gradually. Two years on the combo now, currently 15mg of tirz with 3mg of cagri...

That's really common in the first weeks, especially if you lift. Your body suddenly won't play along with how you normally eat. 92g protein on 780 calories is honestly a strong ratio for day one, most people on Ozempic end up far below that. If you're not on whey isolate yet, switch. Ozempic...

For what it's worth, I'm at 10mg reta with basically zero appetite control on its own. Had to add my sema booster back in. Every time I try dropping the sema I end up ravenous.

11 lbs lean out of 40 total at 5 gym days per week is on the lower-loss end for that deficit pace - the resistance work is doing the job. At 230 and 175 lean, body fat is 24% which is solid. The challenge increases as the deficit continues to goal weight.

Cycling with multiple gaps means testing your own receptor reset each time - the data on that is thin enough to warrant caution.

Suppressed hormone production at that level usually signals the system was under sustained stress before the treatment started - recovery timeline often surprises endos once the underlying driver is addressed.

families can be the harshest, though i know it comes from a place of love. but at the end of the day you know what works for you. after 47 years of fighting myself i finally admitted i needed help.

ready to say forget it and go back to creatine and yohimbe bark, something every week.

mounjaro messed with my cycle — went from light & regular to super heavy periods twice a month. got on birth control and it stopped. I'm back on a microdose now with no issues.

happens to me every time — get super sad and anxious the day after my shot, lasts 4-5 days. skip the injection for a couple weeks and i'm fine. soon as i pin again, crying and anxious all over. it's 100% the medicine, not about eating or anything else. sucks but i'm aware now.

just starting sema, second dose in 2 days, feeling good so far. no bad sides, nice break from constant hunger and not being able to control portions. curious what tactics help when appetite comes back toward end of week.

mid-40s F here. did mounjaro at 5mg for a month, moved to 7.5 a month later, 10 by month three. that's when the bleeding started—gushing, ER visits, blood transfusions. they never figured out why. stopped the med and bleeding stopped completely. never listed as a side effect but something...

light cardio's important, doesn't gotta be crazy. jogging a couple miles on off days adds variety. the weight-lifting crowd can get super focused on one thing, but balanced is better for actual health. look up the five tibetan rites—15-20 min of simple stretching, pretty cool.

see it as a learning tool more than anything. highlights which foods upset you and shows you bad habits—eating before bed, processed food ingredients, stuff that was probably inflammation all along. habits you build now stick with you even after.

This! Exactly. They will adjust eventually.

I asked my doctor how much more I should lose. The person who's qualified to know how much you should weigh is your doctor. My doctor said, 'These days, the weight you should be is past the point where people are thinking you're really sick.' If your doctor says 'keep going' and you feel ok...
