Fitness update at month 8: started doing resistance training at month 3 after losing significant muscle mass in the early months. Since adding lifting 3x/week, my rate of fat loss has actually increased while I've gained visible muscle definition. The combination is powerful.

Been there, it does get easier I promise. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Rooting for you.

You're doing amazing. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

Just wanted to say, Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. So glad I'm not alone in this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Coming back to this thread, The mental side is harder than people admit. How are you finding the higher dose so far. Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Thanks for sharing this.

Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. What's your current titration schedule looking like.

Honestly, Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
