One year anniversary — complete honest review

My doc kept me at 0.5mg for almost 3 months because I was losing well and tolerating it fine. I pushed back a bit because I'd read about faster titration schedules, but looking back I'm glad she slowed it down. Zero serious side effects the whole time. Anyone else had a similar experience with a conservative titration?

I was terrified of the needle too. Now it takes me about 30 seconds on Sunday mornings.

Six-month check-in thread for anyone who wants to follow along: Month 1 (0.25mg): Down 11 lbs. Mostly water weight plus the early loss. Nausea was rough days 2-4 after injection but manageable with small meals. Month 2 (0.5mg): Down 8 more lbs. Found my rhythm. Protein first at every meal. Nausea basically gone by week 6. Month 3 (0.5mg still): Stall. 3 weeks, scale didn't move. Measurements did. Pushed through. Month 4 (1mg): Stall broke at the new dose. Down 9 lbs this month. Month 5 (1mg): Steady loss, 6 lbs. Starting to feel like maintenance territory. Month 6 (1mg): Current status. Total: -41 lbs. Energy is excellent. Food relationship completely transformed. Would recommend to anyone who qualifies.
