Pretty much the same cost for me since I need three separate injections being on the higher dose. Solid news for anyone running a smaller amount though, glad it's working out for you all.

Two years versus the fast approach is often just a reflection of where someone started and what dose they felt comfortable at - the result at the end is the same, just a different calendar. The day-to-day question is a good one because the sustainable approaches tend to look boring from the outside.

Stalling before reaching 6mg and weight holding flat while knowing calories should be tracked more closely is the version of the plateau where the behavioral piece is the lever. 185 to 169 and holding is not a regain situation yet - it's a 'how do I keep the momentum going' situation. Tracking...

Steady loss from January to August then holding at exactly 185 for 7 months is a form of maintenance that arrived naturally rather than intentionally. The OP at 460 to 268 in the same timeframe is a different scale but the same medication doing its job. Still holding the weight while off is the...

The evolutionary argument for fasting is genuinely coherent - the body's fat stores exist as the reserve for periods of low food availability, and forcing eating when you're not hungry while carrying surplus goes against that design. The GLP-1 and fasting combination is essentially using two...

Just a heads up for everyone... when you get to the end of your pen, there's often a little bit left. Some people use an insulin syringe to pull out the last few clicks. It's not much, maybe 5 or 6 clicks worth, but it adds up! Don't just toss it!

I'm worried about vitamins... anyone taking them?

It actually doesn’t matter what day you take your shot. Just pick a day and time that works best for you. If you want to change the day later, there’s instructions in the patient info that comes with every refill.

Greek yogurt with fruit and a little bit of Kashi cereal.

shedding 20kg in 4 months is solid work. compare and despair kills joy. those before-afters on peptide vendor posts are doctored anyway.

Gentle reality check: people without bad side effects don't post. If 100 people take it and 60 have no issues, you never hear from them. You only hear from the 40 who struggle. Reddit's full of side effect stories and sure, they're real. But that's adverse selection bias. Nobody's lying but the...

My trick is packing protein into breakfast. GNC shake (25g), protein pastry (20g), coffee with whey scoop (22g), scrambled eggs (13g) plus veggies and turkey (14g)—that's like 94g before lunch. Fortify everything you already eat with protein. Down 109lbs total (76 from weight watchers, rest on...

I've been using Glapp.io and it's pretty awesome. It tracks not just weight, but also mood, any side effects, the dose cycle, and even gives you reports. It's also completely free. I started on Wednesdays since I'm not working right now. I had zero side effects from 2.5mg until my 3rd dose...

Like before starting the GLP-1 med, I still eat: cabbage casserole, taco salad, deconstructed spring rolls, overnight oats, chicken stir-fry with rice, tofu and broccoli, sweet and sour tofu over rice with veggies, and different kinds of curries. I still grab McDonald's fries, a lettuce-wrapped...

Awesome achievement!!!

I've been on Wellbutrin way before I started this med and never felt noticeable appetite suppression from either. A month plateau isn't scary — I stalled for under a month early this year then dropped 21 more lbs. Stalls happen. Check your calories, macros, water.

Congratulations on your progress!

It's inspiring to see these transformations. Just a reminder that everyone's journey is different. I saw someone post about their Wegovy progress over 9 months. They're at 1mg and nearing the end of their calorie deficit days. It's amazing how much can change in a relatively short time with the...

I'm a 56-year-old female myself, and I can tell you're half the person you were before, in a positive way. Wonderful progress! You must be feeling a lot better these days.

Same on Zepbound, my body adapted after a bit. Switched to pills because injection site reactions got bad, but even at low dose nothing's really working appetite-wise. Kind of zoned out, less interested in stuff I used to enjoy. Weird vibe.
