I am on a GLP-1 for 4 weeks and I have contemplation stopping because it’s so bad. Give me ideas of the best thing the do. I have lost 7.5 pounds. I am on such a LOW dose y’all would be surprised but I am sensitive to drugs. But I need help cuz I want to continue. HELP!
Hi! I usually inject myself but had my partner inject me because the needles I was using hurt more than usual because they were a bit bigger. Still generally very small, sent to me with my meds. I forgot to tell him it just needs to go into the skin and he put the whole needle in. It did bleed (usually doesn’t) but just for a second.
I’m pretty fat so I’m pretty sure it would just hit fat. But does injecting deeper change anything as far as side effects or concerns?
Accomplished through eating disorder therapy, strength training, cardio, walking my dog daily, and very low dose of semaglutide (currently .5 mg) - I don’t weigh regularly so CW is aprox
- edit should be 65 ish lbs total, that got left over from an old post. I lost more but just between these 2 pics is around 65
I’ve been on a compound semaglutide for well over a year and have *only lost 30lbs. I’m grateful for those 30 for sure but I have completely plateaued for MONTHS. What is weird is the shot is totally doing its job in curbing food noise and drastically decreasing appetite so I don’t know why I’m not constantly still losing. Increasing dosage isn’t helping. I reached out the provider and he suggested switching to Tirzepatide as it’s “stronger” but if the one I’m on is doing the appetite/foos noise job already how would that one work “better” not mention its a lot more money, so I cant. I have at least another 30 to go. Just any movement at this point would be helpful mentally. I have tried increasing protein and I could definitely exercise more (but never have been good at that). Any suggestions? I am a 48 year old female so am also competing with perimenopause but com’n.
Currently on 96 units.
The physical changes are great, but not spending ninety percent of my daily mental energy obsessing over food or feeling guilty is life changing. Ordering my monthly supplies through altrx has been completely stress free, and having my mental bandwidth back feels like getting my life back.
Took a hot bath last night for the first time since last winter. I used to wedge tightly into the sides of the tub and touch both walls with my hips. Last night there was actually open water on both sides of me. Such a bizarre physical space realization.
Was standing at the kitchen counter making tea last night and my husband came up behind me to hug my waist. He stopped mid hug and was like whoa my hands are touching each other. We both kind of laughed, but it was a really sweet moment that made my week.
SW 223 CW 150 GW: no longer a number, but wanting skin removal from pregnancy so may revise after that.
I never went to the max dose and I've been very slow about stepping up. I'm very happy with the way i look in clothes now but still working on feeling secure in my body out of them.
Kept talking myself into ordering then talking myself back out of it. If you've dealt with kits4less, how'd it go? Smooth enough? Or did you run into anything that would make you think twice about using them again?
