    Rybelsus - one week in!

    High-protein convenience foods are the practical anchor on these meds - shakes with 25-30g per serving cover the gaps when appetite drops too low to eat a real meal. Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt work well because they're cold, require no prep, and 15g per serving adds up fast. Jerky and...

    Reta stalled...now what?

    The clen comparison at a stall is a common crossroads - people who've run stimulants before tend to look for something to add rather than adjusting what's already there. The albuterol preference over clen is pharmacologically defensible: beta-2 selectivity and shorter half-life reduce cardiac...

    Calories on GLP-1s - what's your daily intake?

    Recalculating TDEE after significant loss is one of the most commonly skipped steps - people keep eating to the deficit that got them to goal rather than the maintenance level of their new body. At 185lbs and 16% BF, a TDEE of 2600-2800 is reasonable, and eating at 2300 is a mild deficit rather...

    Reta stalled...now what?

    It's probably the calories. You gotta track that stuff to see if it's accurate. Weigh everything. It's eye-opening.

    Reta stalled...now what?

    You've been on a small dose for a while with no weight loss. The glucagon effect really kicks in around 6-8 mg, so titrate up. And don't dose it 3-4 times a week, try it 1 or 2 times.

    Maintenance? Hitting the wallet hard

    I've been considering surgery to remove all the extra skin. I stopped taking my shot a week or so before the surgery. Getting back on it felt SO good. I felt so calm, lol. I've gained like 18 pounds, which sucks! But yeah, that first dose back felt amazing after the swelling from surgery.

    Maintenance? Hitting the wallet hard

    Maybe stay on a maintenance dose, unless you're planning on doing cardio for an hour 4-5 days each week.

    Closet Jackpot! 🎉

    It's getting chilly here, so I've been digging out my winter clothes. So satisfying pulling on sweats and seeing how much extra drawstring there is now!

    NSV: No more seatbelt extender!

    Oh my gosh, I had maybe 6 or 7 extra inches on my seatbelt on my last flight after losing about 45 pounds. Before starting Ozempic, I was using every inch of the belt, no extender needed but it was snug. I guess I really have shrunk!
