Another 20 gone!

[Flex_Tale]

Just hit another milestone – shed about 20 pounds. Feeling like my old self again.

Way to go! Keep it up.

Wow, 20 lbs is amazing. What's been working for you?

 

[mirror-mirror]

It's great when you see consistent progress! Makes it feel like you can keep going. I feel the same using a telehealth provider.

Fantastic! I'm curious, how long have you been at it, and what's your current dosage? I've been on semaglutide for a month and a half, but haven't seen any change. I'm on 1 mg now.

 

[Danielle_Path]

Well done on your progress.

 

[Flex_Tale]

Thanks everyone! Tired_of_Tired, I've been on it for about 3 months now. Started low and worked my way up to 2mg. Don't get discouraged, it might just take some time to find the right dose.

I agree with Bio_Hacker_99, tracking everything is so important. I use a similar app to monitor my progress and it really helps me stay motivated.

 

[Bio_Hacker_99]

I've found tracking beyond just weight to be helpful. Apps like 'My Weight' can help you monitor other factors, like injection sites and side effects.

 

[Flex_Tale]

That's a good idea about the apps. I've just been weighing myself but maybe I should be tracking more.

 

[Robin38]

I'm in the same boat as Tired_of_Tired. I'm hoping I'll see results soon. I know it takes time, but it's still discouraging.

 

[Danielle_Path]

For those who are tracking, are you also monitoring your diet and exercise? These medications are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes.

The alcohol reduction on Tirz follows the same reward-circuit mechanism as food noise reduction - the GLP-1 and GIP receptor components both touch the dopamine pathway that drives seeking behavior. For people who were regular drinkers before, the shift tends to be more pronounced than the appetite change because alcohol had a stronger reward signal. Twenty pounds alongside that behavioral shift is the combination that changes the actual risk profile, not just the appearance. The 'old self' framing usually refers to the version before both habits took hold, which means the current trajectory is exceeding that reference point.
