Halfway there! My 6-month SV

[Charlie_2009]

Almost down to my target weight! Thinking about maintenance. It's like, day to day you don't see the change, but look at old pics? Whoa.

 

[The_Lady]

Congrats! What was your initial weight, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Papi]

Yeah! Happy times ahead!

 

[Wait-And-See]

I love that you said "Happy in both" @Charlie_2009. It's still you, just a healthier version.

 

[ProteinWine]

Awesome!

 

[Thin-Possible]

Holy cow, that's amazing!

 

[Bagel_Biter88]

Dang!

 

[ReceptorQueen]

You look like you're smiling bigger!

 

[Charlie_2009]

Thanks everyone! @The_Lady I started around 230. It's been a process!

 

[Thin-Possible]

I feel stuck. I am on the highest dose. Anyone else experience this? What did you do?

 

[ReceptorQueen]

Magnesium citrate can help w/ constipation! Just a tip. It works for me.

 

[Charlie_2009]

I agree with @ReceptorQueen, magnesium is clutch. Also, lots of water!

 

[ProteinWine]

I also thought that was your hair and not a tree in the before pic lol. Glad I'm not the only one!

My experience is different - one injection per month sometimes feels weaker, but it lines up with my cycle when I'm naturally hungrier anyway. Once my cycle ends the same vial works fine again.

Awesome accomplishment! I reached that a month back, now at 192 heading into the 180s. Such an incredible feeling.

Filled half my insulin syringe with 2.5mg dose and the other half with bac water—totally killed the sting. First week was painful, not comfortable at all. Now smooth sailing. Running this for six weeks to see if I notice real changes.

Same here with diet soda - I was addicted for ages and we always had cases lying around. Since starting this, I haven't bought a single case in a month. It's wild how that craving just vanishes.

That dose jump is rough. Struggled 3 months at 1mg before I couldn't do it anymore. Small increases work way better — maybe bump by 0.1 or 0.2 at a time, especially with a compounded version.

Other brands cost less. Oura has a six-dollar monthly subscription for some features. YouTube has comparison videos of various options. Worth it to me personally but that's individual.

Started about the same time you did and just moved to 5mg myself last week. My issue is no stamina for working out yet, still building back there. Hoping it clicks soon.
