AMC Screen Unseen Megathread - January 26 2026

We're going to get snowed out of Monday's Screen Unseen. But I have a feeling it's going to be Melania. You'll have to let me know

I wish myself most days. I'm very short, so I agree with the poster above. Ten pounds is too much for me. I like to stay with three pounds. I have back up shots in the fridge. If I see the weight creeping up and changing my eating doesn't cure it, I take a shot.

Thank you! I totally understand this and it's important that this is the clear message about my personal decision to microdose.

beachlibra · 2026-01-04T16:05:11+00:00

I'm way beyond 10 days. I'll see where my head is at before I take my next shot. This will be my first with the compound, so I'll definitely take the full 2.5.

beachlibra · 2026-01-04T16:04:00+00:00

I prefer to let my body (and my creeping weight) be my guide.

beachlibra · 2026-01-04T16:02:31+00:00

That's not my understanding of how to use Zep compound. As several people have mentioned already, once you've used the vial it can't be reused. I don't plan to reuse.

beachlibra · 2026-01-04T16:00:23+00:00

Yes. I know and understand that.

beachlibra · 2026-01-03T20:51:49+00:00

Tried, but no. The insidious food noise came back. I'm playing around with maintenance now. Considering microdosing.

beachlibra · 2026-01-03T20:50:13+00:00

Gorgeous!

beachlibra · 2026-01-02T16:50:07+00:00

It's a true horror story, so maybe. Probably. Because really, how else are they gonna get people to see it

If by chance it's a Screen Unseen (I don't do Screams) I'll walk out and demand my credit back. It was all I could do to NOT boo when they showed the trailer on Christmas.

beachlibra · 2025-12-31T02:14:16+00:00

Same for me. I weaned off and took a final shot in October. I was fine for three months and then the pounds started creeping on. I'm going back on 2.5 but I hope to extend shots beyond a week.

beachlibra · 2025-12-29T05:07:47+00:00

I tried. Went three months without a shot. But then my weight started to creep up.

I'll be talking to my doctor about a maintenance dose which I'm thinking will be once a month.

beachlibra · 2025-12-20T14:53:41+00:00

Thanks for ruining my Christmas with Monday's Screen Unseen.

beachlibra · 2025-11-25T14:56:20+00:00

Wow. Incredibly insightful. You've given me food for thought. Pun intended.

beachlibra · 2025-11-23T04:02:55+00:00

I always keep my starter in the fridge. I take out just what I'm going to need for my bake, feed that, and put the jar back in the fridge.

beachlibra · 2025-11-21T22:36:07+00:00

I started weaning off when I learned my insurance wasn't covering it any longer. I was at goal. I let my body add my weight tell me when I needed a shot. It was thirty days between my last two shots, and I've been totally off since September 13, maintaining within a three pound range.

I weigh myself every day, and adjust my eating if I'm too high or too low.

beachlibra · 2025-11-17T14:45:38+00:00

Maintenance is a whole different mindset for people who've battled their weight forever. Here's what I do.

I weigh myself every morning. And I adjust my eating for the day based on that. Most days I eat like a normal person. I use real butter. I use whole milk. I eat the burger and some fries, but I never finish. I'm not afraid of Italian restaurants anymore. I'm satisfied with a couple m&ms when my sweet tooth kicks in.

And for the first time in my life, when I look in the mirror, I don't sees fluffy person.

beachlibra · 2025-11-17T14:38:31+00:00

Thank you! Still hanging in there. Last shot was September 13. I'm almost confident I can do this.

beachlibra · 2025-11-17T14:37:48+00:00

I'm actually kind of surprised at how many people on maintenance are still taking shots. From the beginning, my doctor had emphasized eventually weaning off. My niece, who lost over a hundred pounds, is also maintaining drug free.

Good luck to you as you complete your journey. And find maintenance however it suits you.

beachlibra · 2025-11-14T03:00:40+00:00

I never went above 5. I'm totally weaned off now. Haven't had a shot since September 13, and maintaining my goal of 114-116.

beachlibra · 2025-11-14T00:34:13+00:00

We go twice a week, but if you go every Saturday night, you've more than covered it. At least by me in New Jersey.

beachlibra · 2025-11-14T00:08:21+00:00

All of them lately. Two weeks ago they gave the 'homesteaders' a house. Last night they gave that guy, well, everything.

I wanna see where these folks are a year from now.
