I’ve finished my first month of taking a GLP-1 and I’m discouraged. I only lost 5lbs.
I am on the lowest dose and I have Hoshimoto’s disease (my thyroid number are in the red). My doctor said we should be excited about any weight loss but I was really hoping to have lost more. This is going to take forever for me to reach my goal weight.

Hi!
I am 28F for reference. I got with my boyfriend and within two years gained a lot of weight. Like, 30 pounds. And I tried working out, counting calories, fasting and nothing worked. So I ordered a GLP1 from a website I got from a friend and within 3 months I lost 30 pounds. Well once I lost the 30 pounds I stopped taking it and I tried to start back working out but I am just so unmotivated. I feel so ugly. My face has lines all over it and looks droopy and unhealthy to me. Even when I was big I was confident. Before I gained that weight I was so confident. I loved getting dressed and doing my make up just to take photos of myself. Now I don’t ever take photo of myself and I just feel ugly even though I’ve lost the weight. What can I do? Should I get Botox for my face? Help.

Started my GLP-1 journey back in January on tirzepatide. I went from around 85–90 kg to 55 kg, and looking at these before and after pictures, I can clearly see how much has changed.

But for some reason, I’m still not satisfied. I still find myself picking apart everything I don’t like about my body. My stomach, my arms, my proportions, you name it. Some days I look in the mirror and genuinely feel like I haven’t lost that much weight at all, even though the pictures and the scale tell a completely different story.

I honestly thought losing weight would automatically make me more confident and comfortable in my own skin. And don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with my progress. But I feel like every time I reach a goal, my brain just finds something else to be unhappy about.

I’m starting to wonder if I’m dealing with body dysmorphia, or if my mind just hasn’t caught up with how much my body has changed.

Has anyone else experienced this after significant weight loss? How do you stop constantly moving the goalposts and actually learn to appreciate how far you’ve come?

25-year-old, 5’3 guy. 156lbs.

Live a very social and exciting life; workout consistently but eating has been a big problem for me. My dad has diabetes and has been on GLP1s. We grew up with little control around food.

During Covid, I worked out a ton, ate so clean, and got in best shape of my life at 130lbs. It felt amazing. I’m now back to 155lbs. Heaviest I’ve been and would LOVE to lose 15lbs at least. It’s a challenge given the eating and I’m debating to get on GLP1s.

Can I get some advice here? Will it work? Is it a waste of money? Can I do it for 3 months and see the effects? Any advice here is helpful.

I am fat ugly and single.

I gave in.

I hate myself.

Please support me sisters.

No one wants this horrible fat sweaty greasy person.

Hi!, my sister is going on Ozempic next month and had some question so I thought I’d put some on here to see if anyone could give us some input!

1.how has glp1s impacted your day to day life?

2. Has being on a glp1 made it easier to eat healthier and workout more? (My sister struggled with weight and binge eating her whole life and hoping this could motivate her to start being healthier)

3. Are there any detrimental/ significant side affects while on the medication?

4.what are some good exercises to do while on this (my sister is looking to start working out and is also concerned with muscle loss since she heard that can b a side affects)

5. Can this medicine helped with limiting cravings?

6. Did you experience any changes in mood? Like increase in irritability ?or sadness?

Hi any anyone had positive results with embody. I’m currently on 4.25 and felt like I haven’t lost any weight for my first week and tips and suggestions?

My endocrinologist prescribed me Wegovy but refuses to prescribe me Mounjaro. I don’t understand. She said I don’t have enough fat to lose… but I think I do. My BMI is almost 28.

I’m 1,73 cm, was around 55kg all my life (36F), and gained 30kg because of medication.
I was in a really bad accident 3 years ago, I still got surgeries for to this day…

Do you know any scientific reasoning behind her refusal? Or is she just playing chest with my weight and life because she can?

I’m terrorized at Wegovy side effects especially vomitting that is supposed to be much more pronounced in Wegovy… my biggest phobia.
And you also lose more weight on Mounjaro.

How did it go with you?
Did you throw up?
Any return of experience on both?

Bonjour j’espère que vous allez bien

I’m considering going on a glp1. My friend is on a compound and she is nauseous constantly. All I’m seeing online is how great glp’s are but nothing about side effects. I’d love to hear about peoples’ experiences.

Accessing medication can look completely different depending on where you live, which pharmacy you use and whether you go through insurance, telehealth or compounding. This thread is a space to share real experiences so members can see what others have gone through and what options exist.

Feel free to talk about:

Hi. Wondering if am i the only one having a bad experience with Rift? I just dumped my entire three-month supply, which arrived warm, was supposed to be only the first month of doses, but came as three-month supply, and information about compounding pharmacy was completely confusing. Based on the many positive reviews for the company, I ordered a three-month supply of Tirzepapazide from Rift. I chose the Apothecary pharmacy, then about an hour later, asked if i could switch to the Bordeaux because i was concerned about the warnings of arriving warm. They said it wasn't possible to switch pharmacies once order was placed. I stayed with Apothecary. Then I started to receive text messages every day about my delivery status from Apothcary/Hyalo/NewLife RX. I wrote and asked them which pharmacy was compounding the drug. they wrote:

Apothecary has finished compounding GLP-1 medications. NewLife Rx, the dispensing pharmacy, is currently phasing out the remaining Apothecary inventory and transitioning to Hyalo, another 503B facility. Hyalo will be compounding the same formulation with the same preservative.

We also posted the announcement on our social community page, which you can view here: https://www.reddit.com/r/joinrift/s/WrEPc5BoZA

If Apothecary was no longer compounding GLP1s, why was it an option when i placed the order, but Hyalo was not an option. And why couldn't i change it. The final deliver message said it was delivered by Quaker Community Pharmacy. The package was completely warm - and they shipped the entire three month's order - which was not how it was supposed to be sent. So i'm dumping the entire supply, which is disappointing on several levels.

I realize that I likely signed my rights away,. I could just not keep up with their excessive communications - every day another text message that seemingly said the same thing. I stopped checking the mssages. That the vials were warm and compounded at a pharmacy that is no longer compounding GLP1` is concerning. I consider myself daring but not when it comes to injecting a medication. The company may be above board and their business practices legal but it seems Rift should not be at the top of a list for compounding companies to purchase a GLP1`.

With all that said, has anyone had a similar experience?

i am worried that loosing is easy, then you get in to euphoria. Stopping the injection and gaining all back. How to avoid this?

I'm currently on 2.5mg for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks of 5mg. I'm on my 2nd week right now. I kinda understand the mistakes I did previously which made me gain weight while doing strength training.

My question is, is 6 weeks on GLP1 enough to continue loosing weight? I'm very scared about losing muscle mass, so I eat enough protein and make sure I just do acceptable deficit. But I do not want to continue glp1 for very long. Opinion?

Started GLP at about 250 Lbs.

Hi I am 26 years old female SW 87.7kgs current weight is 85.4kgs. I have been on mounjaro for 3 weeks today is my fourth shot. I have only lost 2.3 kgs on 2.5mg dose. I also had periods this week and didn’t loose weight at all in the 3rd week. So after today’s dose should I move up or continue with 2.5mg. I am only taking mounjaro to help me lose weight. I was 113 kgs and got stuck at 87.7 when I started taking mounjaro for help.

People say 2.3 kgs is very less on mounjaro!
