People's comments driving me nuts!

Read, search, ask, read more. Hit the 'Introduce Yourself' thread if you haven't. Learn milliliters, milligrams, decimals. Study reconstitution and dosing guides, watch YouTube till your eyes bleed. It's all there. Don't spend cash till you actually get the basics.
 
people who drop faster usually start heavier, over 230 pounds or so. at your height and weight maintenance is probably around 1900 a day if you don't work out much. with that metabolism the max deficit loss is half a kilo weekly. what's your deficit looking like right now? I get how frustrating it is when you're plateauing.
 
Wait, so I can't reply to old threads? That makes zero sense. I didn't start anything about it, just joined the conversation. Read the guidelines already - not spamming meaningless stuff. My posts add substance here.
 
I'm at 7.5mg, losing steady, tolerating it well, no real side effects. My doctor wants to push to 10mg at the next visit just because it's been four weeks. I get the protocol but if things are working and I'm not stuck, I'm not sure why I'd increase. Maybe I'm missing something though.
 
Started with branded tirz and noticed a difference pretty quick. First week though? Only lasted 3-4 days. Now I'm at 10+ weeks on 3.5mg and it holds strong all week.
 
You look incredible!! Curious what dose worked best for you - I actually lose more at lower doses too, 0.5mg has been my sweet spot. When I go higher it basically stalls me out, so I came back down. Funny how it works that way for some of us.
 
4mg split and already seeing results in week 3 is really promising! Week 4 stalls can be so frustrating but week 5 moving again is exactly what you want to see. Hope the comments from people settle down - you're clearly doing the right thing!
 
Speaking gently here, you shared your own experience specifically to give others a heads up about what could happen on this medication. Sounds like the earlier comment was coming from that exact same place. Why get snippy about it not being useful?
 
Maybe people just don't realize how backhanded that actually sounds. Obviously not stopping now, already said in my post I'm aiming to lose close to another hundred pounds. Plenty of those numbers already sit in normal range too. You're definitely not the only one hearing comments like that, but worth thinking about what the timing and phrasing actually communicates.
 
Let the haters hate, honestly. Do what works for you. And if anyone asks how the weight came off, just tell them plainly it was medication, none of their business beyond that.
 
He's upset because everyone he used to feel superior toward can now lose weight too. There's a great comedy bit out there about this exact reaction, someone genuinely nails describing how threatened certain people feel watching others get healthier now, since that comparison was all they had.
 
I'm apparently a super responder. Felt effects within two hours of that first shot. Tirz at 2.5mg. Appetite completely gone. Forcing food down made me gag. But water, thankfully, still called to me. Kept this up for four weeks. Bottom line, dropped 20 of the eventual 30 pounds inside a single month. Way too fast, and it came with plenty of side effects. My regular doctor wouldn't hear me out on it. Ended up going through a telehealth provider instead, paying out of pocket anyway. Cut the dose down to 1.2mg twice weekly and the remaining 10-15 pounds came off much more gradually. Felt great through it. Plenty of stretches where the scale stalled entirely but inches kept disappearing regardless. This medication doesn't follow the usual playbook for shedding weight. Your entire body shifts. After losing that first 20, my body needed a full two months just to catch up. There's a lot of internal healing happening too, alongside the weight itself.
Worth checking out the book Weightless, written by Dr. Salas-Whalen. There's also an educational video page she runs under her own name. Genuinely brilliant.
