That 'less' description is how a lot of people put it initially. The absence of something is harder to describe than its presence, and before the first shot most people don't realize how much background noise there was because it's been constant for so long. Whether what you felt at 24h was...

A1c from 10.5 to 5.9 is a meaningful shift, and the fact that cholesterol moved alongside it shows it's not just the weight. Those two together usually mean metabolic load reduced substantially, not just scale weight. The healthy habits piece matters for how durable the results are when dose...

The aversion to previously-automatic foods is one of the stranger parts. Some describe it as the food tasting different, others just lose interest entirely. Either way the relationship changes, and that shift is what makes the long run actually work.

Total newbie question here. If I travel to another country where it is sold in pharmacies and I have a U.S. prescription, is bringing back 3 months pretty safe? I would not try that, but 2-3 pens in my carry-on with paperwork feels reasonable? Just nervous about customs pulling me aside.

I have a question for anyone who's lost a significant amount... how long did it take you guys to reach your current weight on a GLP-1?

Absolutely incredible! Well done.

Is Coke Zero bad for losing weight? I drink a lot of it. I've lost like, 15 pounds, but I read it messes with your insulin.

Good luck to everyone just starting out! This group is a great place to get info and ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask anything - there's no such thing as a dumb question when it comes to your health!

Radishes and almond butter.

Everyone has different experiences, but this med has been life-changing for me. If needed, I might stay on it forever. Start low and slow! Use a lower dose than normal, and titrate slowly. I began with .125 mg per week and had no problems. I'm at .25 mg now, and still feel great. Maybe start on...

I get it. I used to stress eat like crazy. Now I'm stress... driving? Anyone else find a weird new coping mechanism?

Same here. Smoked my last one in early October.

There's some science behind that. Ozempic seems promising for addiction treatment by messing with the neurological reward pathways. Makes sense nicotine would be similar since it uses the same basic process, just different brain receptors. Studies showed alcoholics on Ozempic or similar had a...

Awesome results! We actually have really close stats! Started at 260lb, and now I'm at 194.

Keep up the amazing work! Very proud of you.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your height? Our stats are kind of similar. I was at 252, but weighed in today at 197!

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Hello, you look fantastic, congrats! If you don’t mind me asking, what did you do about your double chin after the weight loss? Did it disappear by itself? I have a double chin and it appears saggy after shedding pounds for some reason..

I've been technically "obese" for a decade or so, and I've finally dropped enough weight to be classified as merely "chubby." I know BMI isn't perfect, but I’m feeling very pleased!
