10kg in 3 months with PCOS and insulin resistance is actually a solid result even when it feels slow compared to the OP's numbers. The OP went from 313 to 212 which is a much higher starting weight - the rate of loss scales with starting BMI. What dose are you on and have you moved up since the...

162 to 141 with the food thoughts quiet is the core change that makes the scale move sustainable.

The 1mg green pen delivers in .25mg increments starting from 1mg - there's no .75 position on it, so the 9-click protocol from the red pen doesn't translate directly. After a 2-week miss, most people restart at .5mg rather than jumping back to their previous dose, regardless of prior tolerance...

150mcg with irritation and flushing is a reasonable caution point. Both effects typically fade over 2-3 weeks at a stable dose. Holding before increasing is the right approach.

using gimme for tirz right now while i transition to grey. five weeks in and still figuring it out. i asked them about the compounding scare and they said my next order should be fine. weird that they sent a 72mg/4ml vial for the whole first month though—most people here recommend switching...

I'm down 30 percent exactly over about a year. Started at 180, I'm at 128 now. I have PCOS too. I eat pretty high protein but nothing crazy strict, I'm a mom of two little kids so I don't have tons of time to work out. Maybe a couple times a week if I can squeeze it in.

a slower pace means you'll actually have the energy to hit your resistance training harder. build muscle on top of everything else. you've got youth and hormones on your side, use a solid diet, real exercise, and sleep to max that out. you're at your peak potential and it'd be awesome to see you...

People want you knowing how these usually work. They fix metabolism problems causing body dysfunction. Those come back off meds. Obesity's not your fault, neither is regaining when you stop. Sounds like a solid plan for keeping it off. Congrats on the progress.

not many food aversions have faded for me. but it's easier over time - almost 3 years now - and it tells me this stuff still works. means i can trust the new life i built. most aversions are stuff i shouldn't eat anyway. hard liquor, wine, beer taste weird. sugary stuff, greasy food - just gone.

Been on Mounjaro 2 months after switching from Ozempic - over 40 lbs down. Started 7.5 right before a trip to Vegas and Disneyland. I walked 8+ miles a day and my knees barely hurt. Didn't have to stress about being hungry every second. That's what I'm celebrating.

YouTube folks say 60–90 days total, 5 on 2 off (like Monday–Friday injections, no weekends). Tesamorelin should lead 2:1 or 3:1, so 1mg tesa then 0.5 or 0.33 IPA. Around 1–2mg nightly before sleep, no food 3 hours before. Studies used about 1.4 but I'm aiming for 1.

my psych np said semaglutide takes 'joy' away and recommended switching to tirzepatide. doc rolled their eyes but i didn't care what they thought. switched anyway and within 6 weeks huge change. know it's different for other people but that was mine.

If you were doing good stacking sema, just keep going. They work different pathways. Stay on that combo until you hit goal, then drop sema and maintain on the three-hormone alone. Last few are hardest.

Prices tend to drop once you know where to look. Early choices rarely stay the best deal for long.

Running 40 miles a week, cycling 100+, lifting 3x. Not chasing more weight loss. Curious if Mots-c might boost endurance performance for athletes? Most info I find is either lifting-focused or generic health stuff.

Even if I dropped the weight and kept it off, I'd stay on it forever for the cardiovascular and metabolic benefits. Heart attacks, strokes, diabetes risk - that's what this is really about for me. Being overweight long term carries serious health consequences, and I fall into that higher-risk...

I think you hit on something there. It's a HUGE mind game. When you're ON it, you feel like you have this cheat code for cravings. When it's GOING AWAY, it's like, "OMG I have to eat ALL THE THINGS before it's too late!" Then you're off it and it's not actually as bad, but the momentum's already...

What about people who just want to lose a few vanity pounds? I doubt there's much research on that since it's generally not prescribed for such small amounts of weight loss. I guess it depends *why* you gained those few pounds, right? Was it overeating, or is it like me, where it was just...

It's wild how many people are sourcing this stuff themselves now. I saw an article about people mixing their own Wegovy because of shortages. Seems risky! https://www.statnews.com/2023/01/18/risky-sources-wegovy-ozempic-obesity-drugs/
