70-100 grams per day while losing 80 pounds and maintaining muscle mass is a solid data point against the idea that you need 1.5-2x grams per pound of lean mass. The protein recommendations online have gotten extreme - what you are describing is proof that moderate, consistent protein works.

Hunger returning usually signals a dose adjustment is due, or intake crept up unnoticed.

38 pounds in about half a year at 2mg is right on target. The pace you are describing is sustainable, which is what matters for the long run. Well done.

I've been reading about some people using peptides to help build muscle while they're losing weight on GLP-1s. Has anyone looked into that? I know there are a lot of options out there, but it seems like it could be a good way to maintain muscle mass.

Scale victories are great, but this is amazing tricep definition right here!

My upper arms, thighs, tummy, and butt are all saggy too. I’m trying everything myself. I lift weights about 4 times a week. I rotate between really heavy weight and less reps, and lighter weights with more reps. I'm trying to embrace the changes.

I feel like my weight loss has really stalled this past year, even though I'm on a good dose. It's still important to see how far you've come Lean_AF. Even if the scale isn't moving as fast, the progress is real.

I'm so sorry for your loss [emoji] I went through a missed miscarriage and D&C in December, too, and it really messed with my system. They say hormones take 4-6 weeks to stabilize, but I read that women often feel off for 2-3 months afterward. I'm convinced those fluctuations and sudden shifts...

Surgical removal is usually the fix if it bothers you. A tummy tuck or panniculectomy are common. Skin elasticity, how quickly you lost weight, and your age all play a role in how well your skin bounces back. If you've been at a stable weight and can afford it, look into surgical options.

Your body needed that pause to deal with all that stress; it's fine, you didn't gain weight back! Skipping 2 weeks should be doable. Just inject right before you leave and again as soon as you get back.

I've been having pretty good success too. Started at 222 and now I'm at 209 after about 3 weeks. Aiming for 160. It's nice to see the scale moving!

That's awesome. I'm on my way too. What app or website are you using to track your progress?

Yep, what CutFWIW said! Seriously, all the bottles match the characteristics in the guide. It's legit.

I got my order a few weeks ago, and can confirm it's genuine Hospira.

I've ordered from there before; shipping was always prompt, and products were well-packaged. I just put in an order because their bac was less expensive, plus I needed some insulin syringes.

You're brave! Someone on here tested bac, and it was super high on the pH scale. I don't trust bac from those sources. They can't even get the dose of peptides right; I doubt they're careful about the bac content or pH.

They're advertising a case of 25 30mL vials for ~200 now. It was cheaper a while back, but that's what it is now. It's not too bad if you need a lot.

Our forum sponsor might be a good start. They often carry it. Otherwise, there are a few online retailers that seem to have it, but I'd check reviews before ordering in bulk.

Congratulations you look great!

I also don't tell many people I'm on it. I don't want to hear the constant questions about weight loss progress. Plus, some people act like it's cheating, which is ridiculous.
