Thought I would share this with the group, went to give my wife a good morning hug and kiss and she was holding my back and she got all concerned and said what’s that there’s a lump…turns out that it was just my rib cage she was feeling for the first time ever and we had a good chuckle. I’m still about 65 lbs shy of goal weight but I count that as a really fun win. Keep up the good work people we are making progress!

Hey everyone just thought I would wake up and make a self humiliation post today. Been using vials, original prescription from my pcp with the branded Lilly Zepbound for the starter dose, and apparently today is the first time my label reading comprehension actually started to function when I went to compare labels for dosing between the Lilly starter and the compounded Hallandale I will be switching over once my Lilly vials are all empty. So I just realized that I’ve been taking a 1/2 dose (1.25mg, 0.25ml) weekly this whole time instead of a full dose (2.5mg, 0.5ml). Haha no wonder it seemed like my vials were grossly overfilled, I’m such a thick skulled cryptid primate that I did not question it. Amazingly though, the half doses have been working for me fine. Even on a half dose starting on day 1 it was a miraculous cessation of appetite and food noise, and has been reliably effective ever since. So the real question I am asking myself now is, should I double my current dosage up to the proper labeled amount (2.5mg) or just stick with what has been working thus far? I admit that by day 6 or 7 of the shot week my food noise becomes perceptible again and with it an increase in appetite. Anyone else here make the same noob mistake and did you just stick with it as long as it was working or did you titrate up as soon as you realized?

Hi everybody I thought I would share a little something about my process and to see if there are others out there like me. I’ve learned that I can’t just compose my food choices freehand and be successful at body recomposition, I have to use templates and strait edges. Maybe someday I’ll have the training and experience to be otherwise, but a lifetime of making the wrong food choices means I need tools. I’m an introspective dreamer personality and if I don’t barcode or scale and log and track every single thing that passes my lips throughout my day there’s no telling what picture my subconscious mind will draw up to explain to my conscious mind the food choices I am making and where I’ll end up for daily totals on macros and calories, high or low. Is it time consuming and tedious to do this? Yes. Is my partner sometimes done eating before I even start because it takes me so long to plate up? Yes. Does it keep me accountable and on track to my goals? Yes. Is it worth it to me to do this? Absolutely yes.
