Yo man!! Yeah I didn't know lemmy was popular here! I'd go to a meet if someone else organised it 😁

So I was 92kg, but my snoring starts kicking in when I'm over 90kg. Went to doc and he put me on the lowest dose of Monjaro (2.5mg). I found that was way too much, so I dropped the pen to 20 clicks (full dose is 30), so 2/3rds dose each time. Full dose almost made me pass out at work, I just had zero appetite.

I work from home and exercise often, but my snack impulse is very strong, especially when training hard. I found on 2/3rds dose that my snack impulse was significantly suppressed, but I didn't have the negative effects others were having around insomnia etc. Working from home, the fridge is always open, and I have returned to snacking now, but my weight has stabilised at 88kg after just the one pen.

Doc gave me a single repeat, and once life calms down a bit, I'll try using it again to go lower. For my height the absolute optimal weight for longevity is around 81kg, so I may use or or two more repeats to get there. I'd never bother trying to lose weight without it again, it made the whole thing so much easier, and I probably saved the cost of the pen on junk food/restaurants. I also wanted to break up its use with some time off to wean my body off the extra hormone, as the standard arrangement is to keep cranking up the strength of the pen as the body gets used to it. Right now I'm 6 weeks since I stopped taking it, and admittedly I've put 1kg back on, but I've also added 15kg to my squat.

Overall, 5 stars, it's absolutely unreal. I paid $279AUD for the 1 pen, and got back $80AUD from my extras health cover.

Google says that the average American has a body fat around 28% but the benchmark for obesity is 25%. On average my claim is true.
