re: On Mounjaro for two months, my take - 7 month update

Started at 230 now at 195 (my fightin' weight). Want to lose 10 more and this is the hardest.

Solid work bro. Didn’t take you long!

I’m down just over 50lbs loss, 260 down to 210. I’ve pretty much flatlined the last couple months, losing only 5 lbs. 10 more to go.

Keep it rolliin :nana;

Been a while since an update. I’m down just over 50lbs loss, 260 down to 210. I’ve pretty much flatlined the last couple months, losing only 5 lbs. 10 more to go.

What are your long-term plans? Start easing off or is this for life?

Also, as I'm sure you know, you will have to either eat even less calories or work out harder to lose more body fat.

I wouldn't mind my doctor writing my a prescription, make the weight loss journey a lot easier

Solid. I need to incorporate more cardio.

Hope you are still progressing as well

Yessir. Holding steady around 218 but clothes and waist continues to change so there’s changes happening. After my trip on the 4th, I plan to shift gears and push to 210


BF% is now showing 26% which is a massive improvement for me. For those in the know, what’s a realistic goal for BF%? Is 20% that far far fetched? Just looking for a realistic goal to set.

Dr says probably be on a light dose the rest of my life, but it’s getting me off all the other meds I’ve been on

Congrats! It never gets old seeing healthy transformation. You should be very proud.

No shame in treating a perpetual disease in perpetuity. Especially when it creates such a net positive like this does.

Stop.

I'm waffling back and forth on whether to start an entirely new topic to ask this question, but I'll ask here first because I think there is a few people in this thread who have an answer. They may not want to provide it, but it never hurts to ask.

Pertaining to the analytic lab testing of "research chemicals" that may or may not be GLP1s, maybe I'm needing to test AAS, or some pills a guy gave me at one of the crazy black metal shows I like to go to, could be boner pills, magic mushrooms, mystery powder I received in the mail, etc. I have not been able to find a clear explanation of the entire process. For the sake of my question I'm going to imagine that I (or you) have ordered several glass vials of a powdered product that has yet to be reconstituted, and I (or you) wish to know if this powder is what it says it is advertised as being, and what is it's purity? So, to satisfy my (or your) need to know these answers, what is it exactly that I do? (I'll list all the steps in the process that I've imagined must take place, tell me where I'm wrong or what I'm missing, please)

1. Place an order with an analytic laboratory of my choosing that can provide accurate analysis and reporting of the relevant results with concerns to my "research chemical" or whatever it is I'm concerned about.

2. Package a sample for shipment to the lab for analysis.(In this example, it would have to be at least 1 unopened vial, I assume....am I wrong here?) Mail the package to the lab.

3. Within some time frame I am provided with results for the testing of my "research chemical", and perhaps some way to verify the accuracy/reliability of these results. Maybe that's already been done prior to step #1, I don't know. Similar to vetting any service provider(mechanic, plumber, attorney), I (or you) have selected this particular lab based off several factors, but one factor that would be essential would be verifying the legal status of this laboratory as a registered entity that has been proven to be capable of performing the work they are charging you to perform at an acceptable level based off some regulatory authority that oversees such matters.)

4. Is that it? Do I lose 100% of that vial of "research chemical" or do they send me the remainder? Do they need an entire vial for testing, or just a sample from the vial? I ask because I want to decide for myself what the total cost of going down this path may be for me. First cost is buying "research chemicals", second cost is the costs associated with testing (shipping, actual analysis cost, and the cost of losing a test sample), and then there is supplies related to reconstitution and administration.

Sounds like you have the process down to a T. If testing peptides, you will forfeit the entire vial. If you’re testing AAS, a small sample from the 10mL vial is required. Peptide testing is $350ish and AAS testing is $120 or so. I’ve never personally paid and shipped, it’s always been part of a group.

Whew, boy, I was afraid you'd say that. Oh well, I will just add it in as a part of the overall cost of doing business I guess. At least, if you get a good source you know you are taking something safe and effective instead of low quality crap.

Haha yea fat fingers
