50lbs down - slow and steady!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
That's awesome! We're basically the same. Steady loss here too aiming for 160. Been on this since March and at 209 now. Hope I get those kinds of gains by the year mark like you did - seriously great work.
 
He's moving forward nicely. Remind him this takes time - fast loss doesn't stick like steady does. Fatigue might be the meds but could be his body adjusting. Staying consistent beats sprinting.
 
loose skin after fast weight loss is rough, especially as you get older. collagen creams and retinol help a little temporarily but the skin can take 6 months to firm up, maybe never fully bounces back. that's just the reality without surgery.
 
Cartalax availability is limited outside European research circles, which is part of why feedback is thin. The slow-acting characterization is accurate - the results window for peptides in that class is measured in months, not weeks.
 
58 lbs in 21 months with almost no loose skin - taking the time actually produced a better physical result, not just a slower one. That's the part of the slow-and-steady story that doesn't get told enough. What dose are you sitting at now?
 
Losing the majority on 0.50mg and then plateauing is a useful data point for the OP hitting 50 lbs at what's probably a higher dose. 10.5 months and 50 lbs is real progress and the Onderland milestone is the number people talk about for good reason. How long did the plateau last and did going up finally break it?
 
The time will pass anyway observation is the one that tends to land differently depending on when someone hears it. The OP at Onderland after 10.5 months is the steady version of what that observation produces when you act on it. 10.5 months and 50 lbs at a consistent pace is the kind of result that holds better than the fast-and-plateau pattern.
 
The comparison trap in the first few months is real. Slow first 3 months while someone in the forum is posting 20 in a week doesn't mean anything is wrong - individual response variance on these medications is genuinely huge. Calorie tracking through that window is what gives you signal. 50 down over 10 months on a managed pace is the right version of this.
 
That's fantastic! Running a similar amount myself and, same as you, hoping to hold at the smallest dose that keeps delivering results. Down 18 pounds so I get exactly where you're coming from!!
