    Down 26, feelin' good!

    26 down is a real milestone. The pace usually picks up from here once the initial adjustments settle.

    Pics - More than meets the eye!

    License weight becoming an underestimate is a specific kind of win. That gap closes slowly and is easy to miss until it does.

    Booze on Semaglutide - anyone?

    I am so with you HawkClean. I had this one friend that was always the skinny one, and now that I am getting thin too (thanks to GLP-1s) she is acting all weird! Like I have taken away her power or something LOL

    Booze on Semaglutide - anyone?

    Go ahead and drink if you want. I have to say, I used to LOVE to drink. I'd get excited about planning where we would go to eat and drink, looking at the menus. I loved hearing the bottle open or the drink being made and the first sip! I started in July 2025. We went to Vegas near the end of...

    Booze on Semaglutide - anyone?

    I tried it last week - had three drinks over a few hours. No immediate issues but I felt awful for like 48 hours after. Brutal hangover and stomach problems (nausea, diarrhea, pain). I won't be repeating that experiment.

    8 weeks on GLP-1 - anyone notice?

    Lost about 11 lbs in 25 days on this med but almost all of it dropped week 1 and 2. Now I'm stuck in a range. Taking my 5th shot, going up to 5 mg. I keep reading about people hating the 5 mg dose, so I'm worried. Did anyone restart losing once they got there? Or slower from here on?

    Slow weight loss on sema a worry?

    Thanks, everyone, for the helpful words. I'm definitely trying to track calories and increase protein intake and incorporate daily walks now into my daily routine. I was just getting a little impatient. I appreciate the reality check!

    Slow weight loss on sema a worry?

    Like some people have asked, are you watching what you eat? Semaglutide helps you feel full and reduces food cravings, but you still need a good diet. You've already lost some weight, so it's working!

    Slow & Steady Wins the Race?

    It's been a journey! From 225 down to 185 over about four years. Been hovering around 185 for a year now, but I've been seeing some body recomposition and getting stronger. Had a full hysterectomy a few years back, which throws a wrench in the works. I'm pretty happy with how I look and feel...

    Slow weight loss on sema a worry?

    Hey everyone, I've been injecting weekly since early January, moving up the dose every couple weeks. Started at 0.2mg, now at 0.6mg. I started at 168 lbs, now I'm at 163 lbs. Goal weight is 135 lbs. Is losing this slowly normal? Will it work faster once I get to the max dose? I'm not having...

    Killer stomach cramps, but doc says keep going?

    Thanks again everyone! I'm upping my water intake for sure. I'm really hoping I can continue with the medication. It's the first time I've felt like I am getting somewhere with my weight.

    Hey everyone! So, I started on a sema med (through an online source) around mid-January. Began with .25mg for about a month, then upped it to .5mg on Feb 6th. Things were progressing smoothly...until February 17th. I injected on Friday, and the following Wednesday, I grabbed a burger from a...

    GLP-1 Plotting - Am I overthinking?

    For those using pens, here's a calculator I found for click counting. Might be useful to double check before injecting: https://www.vrgrowth.co.uk/mounjaro-clicks

    GLP-1 Plotting - Am I overthinking?

    Hey Ash1988, From what I've heard, it's more like the pen can deliver a specific number of 'clicks,' about 250 or 260. It assumes a certain amount of clicks for the doses and a little extra for priming. So, how you use those clicks is up to you, with guidance from your doctor, of course!

    GLP-1 Plotting - Am I overthinking?

    Hey CincyMom_77, are you talking about mixing peptides? Just be extra careful with sterility. And remember that some peptides are super fragile after you mix them, so read up on how long they last once reconstituted.
