@armandohernandez1 si?

These scales rely entirely on electrical conductivity, hydration is the single biggest variable. Weighing in right after a heavy workout (when you're dehydrated) or after drinking a lot of water will temporarily skew the resistance. I take my measurements first thing in the morning before eating, drinking, or training. Also a 4 electrode is not nearly as accurate as an 8. The 4 is estimating your upper mass with an algorithm. The 8 sends the current through your whole body. I love these scales for trends but would not use it for anything that requires an accurate number.

@damic pinned 1-3 the first week then onto 5 the second and third week the. Fourth moved to 9-11ish. Then stayed for a week or so. Then moved up towards 20 over the course of a week and just stayed there for another two weeks. I stopped last week for no particular reason and it’s seems like I’m maintaining pretty well. Not as physically active this last week tho. I’ll Prolly stay off it for a while or maybe hit a 15-20 if I feel like it would benefit me that day. Same for motsc. Only as needed for time being.

Thanks everybody for the outpouring of support! And for those of you that are on a similar path, keep going, you got this!! Things I've noticed have been no more joint pain even after a heavy session at the gym. Inflammation is gone, brain fog is gone. I do find myself constantly adjusting the seat in my truck to find a new and comfortable position. I do feel as if I have body dysmorphia issues. Although I've heard it takes a bit for your brain to catch up and register the drastic changes. That part is weird. But I still have a ways to go yet.

It can be done. Well done brother!

@pep_researcher said: @Eleanor Yeah I read a slightly different version of this recipe on Reddit too. IIRC, a nurse had posted that they use prune juice + butter + salt for colon screening patients to clean out their gut before colonoscopy. So it's medical grade solution. Hehe It is not a medical grade solution! I've had numerous colonoscopies and used something like it once and was still dirty when they scoped me. I don't care one iota what someone on Reddit said. You do what you want. I'm just expressing what I know worked for someone (me) who has history of colon cancer in family, has had polyps removed, has had gut literally split in half and had to wear a poop bag for 6 months, then, resected. When you put lots of pressure on the bowel to move on a consistent basis, if you have an unknown weakness, it could cause you to go through much the same as I did. This isn't accounting for the runny mess after taking stool softeners, etc. that moves through those perforations. Grain allergies, lactose intolerance; there's a whole host of food/drink and drugs that can cause perforations in the bowel that you don't know you have. You are literally taking your life in your hands and alleged Reddit nurse does NOT have the answer.

Hit an "Unrealistic Goal". Got on the scale today and I'm 198 pounds. Seeing the scale go under 200 pounds for the first time in 30+ years is amazing. I was a teenager the last time I was under 200 pounds. This felt so unrealistic at the beginning of all of this but here we are. Coming to the end of the first 30 days of a 90 recomp. My daily steps have increased from 5k-8k a day up to a minimum of 11k a day. Im getting up and doing 2 miles before work. Running multiple days a week. Resistance training 4 days a week. The level of intensity and discipline needed to continue hitting these goals has increased immensely. Its really hard and challenging but so rewarding. So Happy Friday. Set some unrealistic goals for this Fall and do what you know needs to be done to hit them.

Congrats on your progress, that is awesome! Tirz was an absolute game changer for me, not just the WL but the many other benefits. I took a break from it, but now back to it and hoping I respond as good or better this 2nd round. Keep going!

Nutricost is great to work with. I’ve requested CoAs on all supps, they provided without any issues.

@Shaqdiesel said: @derekg1 said: P Polyols Sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol, xylitol Stone fruit, mushrooms, sugar-free "diet" products Mannitol is the filler in our peptide vials right? So you are injecting that. I think it is used as a stabilizer in some of them yes. In theory though it shouldn't matter in this context. One, the amount is minuscule. And two it isn't going into your intestines to cause issues. The problem donkey was running into was this: GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, so things stay in your gut longer by nature. Some types of fiber ferment very quickly after ingestion and make gas which causes bloating/pressure intenrally. Other fibers gel and slow down gastric emptying even more. So those three things working together caused intense discomfort for days. The gas was trapped, the gelled fiber slowed its ability to move and over all donkey just wanted to stab a straw into his gut to relieve the pressure. I'm not expert (just really discovering all this) but I don't think the few micrograms of mannitol you might pick up from a peptide subq injection would have any impact on the 3 areas above.

If true well it seem to be working. I been taking semax now adamax, selank and celebrolysin. Very much bioregulators as well. Head chatter is out of the way and I have been a bit more motivated via volition. Maybe it is the degree of flow state the compounds offer.

It was just a bunch of tongue twister words to me. None that I could say and definitely not spell…

@Stan-Douglas thanks for the encouragement! I'm being as safe and efficient as I can be. I dropped 69 pounds in the first 9 weeks and I went completely off the medication for 3 weeks, during which time I ate a lot more calories and put 10 pounds back on. I then flipped back on and the weight has just kept pouring off. Eating very little again. I don't believe there is a one size fits all approach with these medications. And I don't believe losing 5 pounds a week is any riskier than losing 2 pounds if it is done thoughtful, especially when there is more than 50 pounds to lose

Great job!

@Mydogdaryl423 You should cook however you want. I've just found if there's leftovers of any kind, the yogurt, if put in the dish when it's warm, curdles the next day. Have fun with it!

@Eleanor stomach was fine. I specially bought empty enteric-coated capsules and placed the kpv capsules inside those capsules to make sure they pass the stomach.
