That sucks. I have been mixing my own KLOW (all separate vials from different vendors) and adding .5 ml epi/lido and absolutely no ISRs or burn. I did a premix vial from Eros of GLOW previously. I can say, two months in, besides my eyebrows growing bushier I cannot tell much of a skin difference. I will say my back, ankle and knees have not hurt....
I'm going to shoot for losing 100 pounds in 6 months

Yeah I have to do more research to decide what to do. I was told to adjust the ratios. I've also seen some people microneedling their scalp, I'm a little tempted to try that and my eyebrows so I don't end up having issues elsewhere.
I was about to start using the Costco minoxidil on my eyebrows, as someone had suggested, but I noticed they are much thicker already. Who knows...
Are you doing the 35 or the 50 one now?
I was doing the 35. I ordered a 50/35/5 mix but I'm sending it on to someone else when it arrives, decided I'd rather get the ingredients individually so I can play with ratios. Was debating minoxidil but decided I should really do blood work first. Might cave and pay out of pocket for a specific test my insurance keeps denying too.
The Costco 5% is the cheapest. I think I got (6) 2oz bottles for $17 delivered.

i lost 60 pounds in the first 3 months and was cocky about it. then it slowed to nothing.
i ate 20 pounds of pistachoes over the holidays nov to jan, and they are extremely high in calories, so that was a big part of it.
don't mess with tesa or HGH if you want the pounds to fall off. they will make you gain.
i'm back on track down 65 but its going really slow.

20lb of pistachios? Mr Money Bags over here!
Good luck now that you're back on track!

tom brady says plant protein!
Lol, yeah I tried some plant protein in these blends.... what a mistake, that PB one, omg it's bad. Going down it's like "okay, I can drink this" but then a sharp zing hits and clenches your jaw, immediately that turns into a EARHTY beet flavor.
The C&C one... well that's just burnt dirt flavor start to finish

I second the don't mess with statement here. HGH and Test blew me up like a balloon. Although this doesn't seem to happen with everyone, it did for me. Also stalled my weight loss which is expected, but really messes with your happiness not seeing the scale go down.

Tesa and HGH have beneficial effects when it comes to your body composition, but you need to go in understanding how they work. They will make you retain water. Potentially a lot. This will impact your scale weight.
They do encourage lipolysis, though, and general improved body composition. Most people can drop the water weight quickly once they come off, and if you're not retaining a ton of water and increasing your BP or getting edema, then there's also not really any health concerns with the water weight either. The bigger issue for health, IMO, is their impact on insulin sensitivity and blood glucose.
If you have a hard time dropping water weight and are really concerned about the number on the scale dropping more than your overall body composition, then avoid them. Some people use dandelion root extract to help drop the water weight, since it has a diuretic effect.
