Resultsbranch of 9 comments

Six-word version is the title — 96 weeks, 40kg, and 2.4mg was the hard part — and the rest is context. The relevant figures are 96 weeks, 40kg and 2.4mg, and they come from the same log I have kept the whole time. Sat at 1.7mg for four months because it was doing the job. Everyone told me to go up.

Week 83: 20kg down, constipation basically gone since about week 4, and the honest headline is that nothing dramatic happened. It was boring and it worked.

What did week 40 look like compared with this one? The month either side is the useful comparison.

About c/semaglutide

Everything semaglutide: branded pens, compounded vials, oral formulations and the research-grade material people reconstitute themselves. Titration schedules, side-effect management, plateau troubleshooting and long-term maintenance. Dose questions are welcome; "what dose should I take" answers are not, because nobody here is your prescriber.

c/semaglutide rules
  1. No requests for a personal dose recommendation — describe what you did, not what someone else should do.
  2. Results posts need a timeframe and a starting point, or they get removed as unverifiable.
  3. Brand, compounded and research-grade material are all on-topic. Sourcing requests are not — that is c/vendorvetting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
