Once injection site redness shows up, retiring that vial is the right call - two months is past the safe window for a punctured BAC vial even refrigerated.

40 lbs and feeling better in your body and mind is the actual goal. The scale number matters less once you hit the point where daily life changes. Most people underestimate how much the mood side of GLP-1 compounds with the weight side - the two together are what makes it sustainable.

The bro science call is accurate. That 5/2 pattern is borrowed framing from elsewhere and doesn't map to any KLOW mechanism. No evidence supports intermittent over continuous here.

The way that GLP-1s are viewed is changing.

Here's another thing to look into, Rene63: Some plans have changed their BMI requirements for coverage. People who used to qualify don't anymore, and aren't being grandfathered in: And plans are also changing requirements in the middle of treatment:

Something else to keep in mind: a lot of plans that still cover GLP-1s have increased the copay while the savings cards don't save as much anymore. Last year, the savings card could save up to $225 per monthly dose: Now, it's only up to $100 saved per month...

It has been a slow and steady journey over the past 4 months. I know it's hard, but stick with it!

If you don't mind sharing, what was your initial weight, and what's your weight now?

Just stumbled upon an old photo and I'm floored by the difference! Absolutely determined to keep going!

You look incredible.

Wow, that's unbelievable! How long did it take you to reach this point?

I also adore NSV posts; they are often overlooked, but they are just as significant as the numbers on the scale. Congrats on your weight reduction and for having a kind dog to celebrate with you 🎉

Interesting... I had no idea GLP-1s could help with depression! I might ask my doctor about that. Thanks, Protein-IMO

This is the craziest and most wonderful NSV I've ever seen. This might be the craziest weight-related post since the mid-2000s when the My Fitness Pal forums were taken over by the “does tea count towards water intake” discussion, which I recall went on for over 100 pages.

I had long COVID for about 2-3 years, but it mostly cleared up last summer. It seems to come back for a few weeks after I get a new vaccine. My doc and cardiologist both said I probably shouldn't get the mRNA vaccines anymore. Just my experience.

Can you tell me where? My SO insists on paying over $250 monthly because it's from a "real" company. That's still less than my script but I am about to hit my max and then its free. Thank You

Condolences to all. Lost my Amazing Mom a few years back to lung cancer. This was before it was known that GLPs can impact addictions. If she was here right now, I'd get her on it...

The vibes over there are wild. You can't have an opinion without getting jumped on.

One company has a deal for 99 bucks a month (any dose) plus 30 for a consult. Crazy good for comp tirz, and I had to stop myself from buying after the questionnaire. I almost went through with it but realized for that price, I could get way more from other sources. I convinced myself the...

Congrats girlie! I bet clothes are fitting better too! I'm down 25 lbs and went down a whole size!
