Totally agree. We're all in this together. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. So glad I'm not alone in this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. So glad I'm not alone in this. Everyone's different of course.

Late to this but Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Such an inspiration honestly. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

How are you finding the higher dose so far. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared.

Totally agree. Keep going, seriously. Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear.
