The weight loss thread

[SinSeeker]

Down from 88 in December, reckon I won't lose much more than this. Hit my target of 75kgs.
l/xl shirts down to medium and pant size from 36 to 30.

Ozempic I got from Clicks was R1700 for 6 weeks. Retitrudtide cost R1700 for 7 weeks from supplier

Yeah maybe that's why it did nothing the second round.

People are falling for these random Facebook suppliers and injecting random unknown stuff.

Didn't really try last week with the storms and sitting in the dark, but did the week before, so happy with a 0.7kg loss.

I used ozempic 8 months ago and it was a wonder drug at the time. I lost 10kgs in 2 and half months and stopped. Started again 6 months later and it did absolutely nothing. Appetite didn't go away and was as normal as ever. Then went on to Monjouro and exactly the same. I started retitrutide last thur and lost 1 and half kgs in less than a week. My appetite still normal so I guess its the 3rd peptide thats working. Have no idea why the other 2 stopped working. Pharmacist said I probably need a higher dose of the other 2 glp1's. Well lets see how it goes in retitrutide over the next few weeks

Why did you stop initally?

Did you not not titrate your dosages up with ozempic and mounjaro? If not then yeah, this outcome is expected. Normally the doctors work out a plan for you when they prescribe these drugs.

In my case it’s actually very easy, cut out daily alcohol, snacks and junk food and I lose 10-15kg in 4-5 months. Easy peasy.

jou moer. looool. I know many people that can just go like "I just stopped fizzy drinks and I lost weight EZ".

I've been ~100kg for 25 years basically. We go away for a week or two... I eat like an animal, ice cream, chips, treats... get home... no scale shiftage.

I tried "carnivore"... I did it for months. No changes. Other people out there claiming "I can eat until I'm dik on carnivore and I still lose weight".

The last like 2 years I've been going for regular blood work and checking stuff out. I have led too much of a sedentary life as a software developer... being self employed and working 12 to 14 hours a day hasn't helped. Turns out I've got NAFLD (rebranded to MASLD now).

I've gotten all my blood markers from "GOEIE FOK" down to "hey you won't die next week now" and I'm feeling better.

Oh **** off man, fear-mongering again.

Massive weight loss without Ozempic can cause all of this. If you lose weight too fast you are not doing yourself any favours, with or without GLPs. This is why weight training is always indicated a very necessary supplementary to GLP's and dosages are adjusted by your doctor to stop you from losing too fast.

Now on topic...

Just waiting for rebelstore to restock and then I'll probably get 28 amd or 32 kg kettlebells

Seems my double 24s are finally clicking as they should.

Still working at 80kg strongman sandbag before hitting 90. Probably upgrade my 40 to 50 and 60 to 70 soon. If both fit another 10kg…

Looks like your weight is playing Yo-Yo as well, just like how it did for me.
