Week 10 starting now. 5'7 female. Peak weight 221, dropped 46 before Reta, so I started at 175. This morning I'm 153, which is 3 down from last week and 22 since Reta began. First goal was 160 and that's done!! Next one is 140. Just took dose number 10 and I'm holding at the 2.5 level. Blood...

Originally I just wanted to get back to my weight from college graduation. Hit that way faster than expected. Then I remembered I'd been on the special program for heavier cadets my senior year at the academy. So I set a new target, matching the lowest weight I hit back when I was competing...

How long before you landed on the right amount? I'm three weeks in and haven't noticed a thing at the starting 0.25mg level, so I asked to bump it up

Appreciate the write-up, genuinely useful info. So is F410 the same as the compound that supposedly repairs cellular aging markers? Someone mentioned they only carry the unmodified version, which honestly doesn't add up to me, seems pointless for most people to bother with that form. Going to...

Nobody really warned me that this drug class could trigger inflammation too. Wound up hospitalized with a serious gut flare, later confirmed as an inflammatory bowel condition while on the medication. Came across research linking this medication category to autoimmune conditions, and my...

Oh wow! That's fantastic, already past goal weight, love seeing that. How are you even managing 200 grams of protein daily? That number alone intimidates me, haha.

Greek yogurt's my morning go-to. Sometimes mix in some hemp seeds along with flax and a handful of walnuts to bump up the protein. Thinking about adding a couple hard-boiled eggs at lunch plus a snack pairing of hummus with garbanzo beans. Trying to protect muscle, just want the extra fat gone!

Been injecting the copper peptide alongside the joint-repair one daily now for roughly three weeks. Can't confidently say I'm seeing much beyond my face finally clearing up (which, to be fair, is genuinely huge), and sticking with it feels worthwhile. But now I'm down that rabbit hole where...

Well, you could go by the book, keep it at room temperature and toss it after 28 days. Or, put it in the refrigerator and stretch it past 90 days, living dangerously. (you know how this goes...) Or, take this as a hint you're overcomplicating things. You're just not mixing in enough diluent...

Interesting. Right when I began Ozempic, hadn't regularly had diet cola in years, but suddenly craved it intensely. First time buying soda to keep around the house in over a decade.

Yeah, actually just grabbed a pair of jeans in size 16, first time wearing that size in years, so I'm thrilled about it So I totally understand your excitement over the new size! Congrats!

Nothing weird about the post, just seems like critical thinking isn't quite clicking here. Not exactly a sharp observer either. People who drop weight on Ozempic genuinely tend to look older. Seen it happen enough times to spot it instantly. It's real, just requires actually having decent...

Good for you honestly. Was terrified I'd end up with the same diagnosis, turns out I've got that esophageal condition too but thankfully nothing serious tumor-wise. Sorry you're dealing with this, but glad you seem to have a handle on it!

Been fasting for 15 years, never eating before noon and only one or two meals daily, and yeah, glp-style peptides make it easier, though for me I'm so adapted to fasting already that genuine hunger rarely shows up anymore.

Kicked off MJ this past March. Things started slow but have picked up pace since reaching 7.5mg. Peaked at 120kg back in September, down to 109 currently. Thrilled that turning things around is genuinely possible even at 49, female.

Metformin wrecks my stomach every time, doesn't matter the formulation. Not diabetic anyway so no real reason to push through it.

Been on tirz a full year, sitting at 12.5mg currently but pushed as high as 15mg at one point. Did a year of sema before that. All told I'm 76 pounds down with roughly 30 left. Progress has slowed to a crawl though, never exactly fast to begin with. Running about half a pound to a pound monthly...

Had a couple beers once while taking semaglutide and ended up wide awake at 3am feeling absolutely wrecked. Not really worth it if you ask me, the hangover's noticeably rougher than usual. Best to just follow what your doctor told you.

2 shots in and the appetite suppression already that complete after the second shot is an early strong response signal. The hunger disappearing not because of nausea but just not thinking about food is exactly what people mean when they describe the mechanism working. The 'kind of miss hunger'...

The reversal of everything rather than just hunger when stopping is the clinical reality that gets lost in the weight-loss framing - the medication manages a chronic condition, and calling it a weight-loss tool sets the wrong expectation for how to think about long-term use.
