For anyone considering the switch from semaglutide to tirzepatide: I made that switch at month 6 and the difference in appetite suppression is noticeable. I went from thinking about food constantly (even on sema) to genuinely not being interested. The dual GIP/GLP-1 mechanism really does seem to add something.

Week 12 checking in — yes, the hair loss is real but it does slow down. Biotin helped me.

@ScaleWatcher same thing happened to me. The stall broke after I added more protein.

Seconding the hydration advice. I drink at least 80oz a day and it makes a huge difference.

I hit a 6-week stall and thought the medication had stopped working. It hadn't. The body sometimes needs time to catch up with the fat loss. Measurements changed even when the scale didn't.

Starting the weight-loss log here because I need accountability. Starting weight: 278 lbs. Goal: 195 lbs. Week 1 on 0.25mg semaglutide. No real side effects yet, just a slightly off stomach on injection day. Will update every Monday.

I keep a protein shake on my desk for days when nothing sounds good. It helps.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.
