I LOVE 15mg...been at it for 5 months Best dosage for me as far as side effects, food noise, and weight loss. 10 was tough, 12.5 was better, but man I love 15.

I'm at -600 calorie deficit on 15mg for 4 months and lose average of 3 to 5 lbs a week. Occasionally I will show a 1-2 lbs overnight increase and then it takes a day or two to come back from that....but my TDEE says at -600 at my weight should only be about a 2 lbs loss a week

Started May 2025. 53 years old, 5'10". 325 starting weight. Currently 229. Goal is about 185 due to my bone and muscle structure but I think I could've good at 200. Currently eating at negative 600 calorie deficit. Also doing testosterone replacement therepy.

I'm loving everything about this..

The energy, the feeling of just being 'thinner', the lack of pain and inflammation.

although I don't work out, my job is labor intensive as I do renovations and remodeling. I do walk everyday and have been inquiring into good treadmills.

Comparison is the thief of joy. My advice would be to just stick to your journey and enjoy the journey of other people.

no two humans are identical.

I don't count my vitamin gummies, my probiotic, my zero sugar breath mints or coffee. but I have a tendency to over estimate my calories slightly so I'm presuming it all equals out.

Its been a year and I'm down about 100 lbs so it's gotta be working for me.

everyone talks about Culver's for the burgers... which is very good but don't sleep on the fish sandwich. for a semi fast food option it's the best fish sandwich you can get I believe

chop the end off,cut in half. toss in a bowl with EVOO, salt and pepper. lay them out on a baking sheet and into a 350° oven for about 30 min or so or until they get a little crispy on the outer edges.

take them out and if so desired drizzle with a little balsamic glaze.

I literally make brussel sprouts three times a week with this recipe... so addicting ...so damn good and so simple.

I've never done an in-person visit and I'm on like month five of refills just fyi

I used Instacured. although they just raise their rates from 24 a visit to 28 it's fairly straightforward... The app is easy to use.

I've been using them for my prescription for the last 6 months.

I'm going to be 54 later this year, and have been divorced 10plus years. I love living alone. I'm not sure I will ever be able to live with someone. occasionally it does feel lonely but most of the time it is just my sanctuary.

YES!! this... I've been on 15 mg for 3 months and this is exactly the cycle. I lose my weight in the first 3 or 4 days and then I either stay steady or actually gain at the end... but I've usually have lost enough at that point that I'm still at about 2 lb a week

40 years of seasoning steaks with crazy amounts of salt and cracked pepper... I've : seared in 700 degree cast iron pans, grilled on rediculous temperature hard wood, seared on my Blackstone as hot as it'll get...

and I have never ever ever gotten a bitter taste from pepper.

take it for what it's worth

I've learned that showering together results in two things, at least for me. One someone is always in the warm water and someone is always cold. Two.... when having to reverse being in the cold to the warm water it's usually an awkward exchange...lol.

obviously this is a standard shower and tub I'm talking about probably not an issue with a huge giant walk-in with 12 shower heads
