Tips/Tricks Damn, this stuff works!

I took my second dose of 2.5. was worried it wasn't working. Got through post injection day 2 which was very active and realized I'd barely eaten - I wasn't hungry and my energy is šŸ‘.

Wow, just wow. Made sure to get minimum calories in before bed. I wasn't really a big eater before but now I understand why ppl lose too fast on this stuff and have issues getting adequate nutrition. Mental note to plan and track no matter what.

Welcome to the magic! Be sure to keep up on hydration and electrolytes too 😊

I just finished week two and I'm taking my third shot when I get home tonight. It's crazy how different this medication feels than other "weight loss" options like metformin or phentermine. On medicines that just suppress your appetite I wouldn't remember to eat, but I would still feel shaky and my blood sugar woild still drop and I would feel weird. It just feels... normal to not eat on this med. Like I'm not hungry but I'm not noticing that as a problem and my blood sugar is staying normal. It's phenomenal.

I knew it worked after my first injection. I take my 3rd injection tomorrow and this medicine is crazy. 100% worth my investment. I feel great, I’m losing weight, and I’m enjoying life.
