Down from 215 to 165 on .5 mg/week over about 8 months, give or take. Went from a size 38 to a 30, with some wiggle room to spare.

This shot is at 188, so roughly halfway to my goal.

Really wish I had more before pics to compare.
 
I'm curious, what was your approximate daily calorie intake during your journey? I started recently at 8 'units' and I'm noticing around day 5 or so that I'm starting to crave snacks. I'm down about 5 pounds in like 2.5 weeks...
 
Huge congrats!! I'm at 210 right now, about 4 weeks in. How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking? It's encouraging to see your progress! 🙂
 
First off, major CONGRATS! And wow, just in 8 months, that's awesome! I've been on this for months, but barely losing anything!!! 🥹🥹🥹😩😩😩🤣🤣😭😒😒smh!!! Are you doing really intense workouts??
 
I'm noticing that my snacking has gone way down. I think I'm eating a third of what I used to. I'm only on week 3, so I'm trying to be patient and wait for results like @BugStory. Thanks for the inspiration!

it depends on the specific medication and your insurance coverage. Some require a BMI over 30, or over 27 with comorbidities like high blood pressure or diabetes.
 
That's a serious amount of weight gone. Ever think about backing down to 2.5mg? Loads of people stay low for months without issues. There's no rule saying you have to go higher unless the lower dose stops working. As for appetite—you don't need to feel hungry to eat. Set alarms, small balanced meals, salad, fruit, protein. Simple.
 
Semax and Adamax are intranasal medications, and some swear they only work that way. The intranasal version worked great for me, but the problem is wholesale doses are too small. You need at least 20 mg per 5 ml to see results. Adamax, being longer-acting, probably has the same issue.
 
felt my first 2.5mg within an hour—that was strange. after pins 3-4 it took hours, full-on next day. day 4 after pin 4, stomach rumbling for the first time. yesterday a little hungrier. thought i was a super responder 😀. BMI went 26.5 to 25.
 
No days off, all in. Sixteen weeks, 2mg in the morning fasted. One kit and two vials total. Don't refrigerate after it's mixed—I keep it in a dark cool cabinet.
 
Haven't eaten in two days and i'm falling apart. week now of no appetite, that's the point i know, but everything makes me queasy or anxious. been crying. worried about muscle and hair loss but can't force food. supposed to up my dose this week and i'm lost.
 
your body's thermogenesis drops with weight loss. i found my cold feeling went away after i stabilized at a lower weight and bumped calories back to maintenance while building some muscle.
