The slow start is normal, mine crawled too until around week four when I was down 5 lbs. As a fellow small-appetite eater, Greek yogurt with berries and some nuts has been my go-to since it's easy on …

compounded tirz at 7.5mg - side effects easing up as of today
Week 3 to 4 was when mine turned a corner too, that stretch can feel endless until suddenly it doesn't. Down about 5 lbs myself and the payoff makes the rough start feel worth it. Glad you're on the o…
