Delivered meals have been a big win for me. I'm about 7 months into sema, 5'7", started at 196. The first four months took about 30 lbs off, then 15 more came off slowly across the last 3 months, so I'm 10-15 from goal. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are simple stuff like protein bars and shakes...

By week 4 of the 2.5mg step my food noise started returning, so I bumped to 5mg and that worked much better. That's 17kg gone in 7 months (about 37lbs), currently on 6.25mg. Some people lose faster, though my starting excess was smaller (9kg from goal now), and some weeks were all booze, junk...

You're such an inspiration, fighting breast cancer and still doing all of this. You look amazing, and I'm sure your new health will help in your fight. My mom was diagnosed 2 years ago, the third woman in my family. I know I'm high risk, and that's one reason I started on this path to lose...

I've run Tirz, Reta and Cagri since February. Mondays are 7mg Reta plus 0.8mg Cagri, Fridays 7mg Tirz plus 0.8mg Cagri. Losing started up again once I added the cagri.

Question for anyone sitting on a large stockpile, are you actually running your own check on one from each batch before you start it? I've got roughly 7 years' worth of tirz plus another 7 of reta banked away, but so far I've leaned entirely on other people's group results and hearsay about the...

One of the fitness apps I already use just rolled out GLP-1 tracking features. Been weighing whether to start one myself, so I poked around the feature a bit. Seems genuinely useful for logging dose amount, injection site, and side effects, plus tying that data to your weight trend over time...

Used to take five different components across four pills daily, two morning, two evening, just to keep blood pressure under roughly 140-150 over 100-110. Now I'm down to a single component in the morning and readings sit around 123/78, holding steady. All within two months. Still can hardly...

Hold on, I'm confused. Do you like it or not? Which pen felt off? Also in Manitoba, just grabbed my Ozempic pen for around $89 plus tax at a big-box store, curious what the generic runs there.

Same to you! Still at .25 myself for now, moving up to .5 next week. I'm 5'9 and at 280 right now, was 325 pounds at my heaviest and sat at 295 the day I started ozempic. Getting in about 1800 calories daily, staying more active than before though it's still not quite where it needs to be...

Yes, spent six months on Mounjaro. Began at 90kg and dropped to 70kg. Been off it now for six months and currently sit at 63kg, meaning I've actually continued losing, another 7kg gone since stopping. Worth mentioning upfront that my original weight gain mostly came from snacking. Never really...

Currently running tirzepatide, but stocked up on a bunch of R20 kits... planning to fold reta into my GLP routine, and rather than starting off with the R20s, grabbed a couple R10 kits instead since the math works out better for my initial dosing... so count me in on the 10s side... :)

Isn't refreezing mixed tirz something you're supposed to avoid? Considering mixing 2 30mg vials together, that'd cover roughly 12 weeks worth Does it break down way quicker than the stuff sourced from compounding pharmacies?

Running the generic version of Ozempic and haven't had a single side effect, zero nausea. Five weeks in and 15 pounds lighter.

Only real worry with reta is hearing that appetite reduction and food-noise help barely show up. What's the actual experience been like? Great progress on the weight loss by the way!

Running tirzepatide has brought less inflammation for me and completely killed my craving for alcohol. Still get the occasional sweet tooth moment though.

Being pretty vulnerable here, but honestly the biggest win for me isn't even the weight loss, it's losing that constant chase for quick dopamine hits. Realized my whole day used to revolve around chasing those hits through a dozen different outlets, and resetting that response was genuinely...

Just tell them you're watching what you eat because you're trying to lose weight. No need to get into the medication side of things.

Make sure water intake stays where it should be. My provider mentioned most stalls trace back to not getting enough fiber and fluids.

Fair point, seasoning's probably more helpful than going bland anyway. Haven't reached that point personally so can't offer firsthand experience, but your provider will definitely have better insight on timing than I would.

Yeah, could be! If you retest, try fasting about 12 hours beforehand and stay well hydrated, or was the first one already fasted? Would love an update if you run it again, curious how cases like mine play out.
