40% down and counting in 9.5mos! Aiming for around 44% down and still making steady progress, so expect to hit it in a month or so.

Two years of reta at my current dose, plus a bit of tirz and sema for good measure.

Bugs specifically? Not common. Quality control issues more broadly? Common enough that it warrants keeping fairly plugged in to the state of current vendor offerings. A good vendor today is not necessarily a good vendor tomorrow, and even the best vendors have had hiccups. I haven’t filtered...

I have a similar experience with reta. I dig it. I eat when I want, don’t when I don’t (with the exception of hitting my daily protein target, which is a non-negotiable), and don’t sweat it either way. Genuinely and by far the easiest I’ve ever lost weight. I even stopped IF. I did that for...

Biggest red flag in all of that to me is social media advertising. Lots of scams and bad content in that space. As a rule, I don’t order from any vendor that you’d see mentioned on TikTok or Facebook.

I ordered a couple of vials the other week, got a UPS tracking number next day, and they were delivered three days after that.

For the sake of easy math - I like to add 1ml of bacteriostatic water to 10mg vials, so each mg is .1ml or 10 units on an insulin syringe. If you're on a 2.5mg dose, that would be .25ml or 25 units. You would have four of those per vial. (1ml / 4 = 0.25 mL & 10mg / 4 = 2.5 mg) Or, if you wanted...

I paid $30 for a medical provider to do a virtual evaluation and then they emailed me the LOMN. https://www.truemed.com/shop/merchants/tonal

Heh, I hear ya! Mine was very skeptical, but it turns out he likes it even more than I do now... I did end up using TrueMed to get a letter of medical necessity allowing me to use my HSA to purchase. Those pre-tax dollars definitely go a bit further! Will update down the line :)

My spouse and I bought a Tonal around six weeks ago. We both have no prior weight lifting experience, and are both currently doing 3-5 workouts a week. So far, very impressed with the machine, programs, and coaches. It's quite expensive, but if it gets us to build and stick to a habit, well...

I’m not diabetic or prediabetic, but I did have one fasting glucose test come back just over 100, which freaked me out. So, when the Dexcom Stelo kit (with two sensors) was released around the same time, I jumped on one. I wore the first sensor while waiting for my first GLP1 prescription...

Right? I think nearly half of my office has expressed interest in going on a GLP1... a couple have gone to compound pharmacies, and the rest have given up once our insurance plan denied the PA. There's a lot of untapped demand if they could just pull the right affordability lever.

Heh, I got that sense. Life's too short to pollute it with that much ugly! Appreciate having more 'normal' channels like this forum to turn to for better information in a better environment.

Indeed. I noped out of there pretty quick after a hours-long string of racial slurs went unaddressed.

I'm 5'8" and have been in the obese BMI range off and on since elementary school. My lightest weight as an adult was around 145lbs for my wedding... down from ~235 after a loooot of extended and intermittent fasting. Cold hands and crashed metabolism aside, I was fairly happy there, although...

Yes, in this case, 30 = 30mg. At 5mg/dose, that would be six doses or six weeks per vial. How much bac to add is up to you, but it is often done in multiples that make the math easy. In this case, you might add something like 1.5mL, which would result in a concentration of 20 mg/mL, and a 5mg...

As far as I know, CanTydes and Tydes are completely unaffiliated, with the former being a known scammer and the latter being a reputable domestic dealer.

Same here. Shipped from domestic warehouse.

One word of caution there - unlike GLP1 agonists, testosterone is a scheduled substance. My personal risk tolerance has me sticking with my telehealth provider for TRT.

I was Rxed both. I asked my provider if there was a preference in sequencing, but he said not really in his experience. *shrug* I’m hoping for more lean mass preservation than I managed with prior weightloss.

Any chance the alcohol wasn’t completely dry from your prep pad at the injection site?

Thanks for sharing. So much for that idea!

Looking forward to hearing about your experience! I’m four days into my first cycle of SS31 now. Not sure I’ve noticed any impact yet aside from injection site redness… maybe a small increase in energy / exercise tolerance? Could well be placebo, though.

I’m curious about this, too! I ended up starting sema and TRT on the same day, just under a month ago, and until this week the scale has been bouncing around but essentially flat, despite significantly reduced caloric intake due to sema appetite suppression and more energy/physical activity...

Has anyone tried MOTS-C in effort to counteract this? I’m only a month in to semaglutide, and fortunately haven’t experienced the freezing yet, but I do generally get cold easily in winter, and particularly so historically when I’m trying to lose weight and my metabolism slows in response. I’m...

Ordered R10 around 10pm on 9/3, delivered earlier today, 9/6. Very fast shipping indeed!

Got my tracking this morning! Looks like it shipped out yesterday from TX, eta tomorrow. Very pleased so far.

Thanks for sharing! Daydreaming about having to worry about maintenance over here.. a ways away, so helpful to have context and something to look forward to :)

Wow, that’s impressive! Will keep everyone posted with my timeline.

Just ordered a kit of R10. Order process was smooth via Alibaba pay. Thanks, dionysos -- found your guide on Reddit the other day and have subsequently done a whole lot of reading!
