First Figure Competition Prep — What to Expect from 16 Weeks Out to Stage Day.

Mileage may vary, but building better eating habits mattered way more than the medication itself.

I tried diet alone and the cravings came back hard. Ended up going back to a small weekly dose.

Exercise became my biggest priority after losing the weight. Cardio alone wasn’t enough I had to lift.

For me, weighing myself every morning keeps me accountable. If I creep up 3–4 lbs, I tighten things up.

Results were solid until the holidays hit. Learned that maintenance takes just as much attention as losing.

Personally I wouldn’t stop the injections overnight. Gradually spacing them out made the transition way smoother.

Wouldn’t run a maintenance dose again unless I absolutely had to. I wanted to prove I could keep it off naturally.

In my experience, sleep made a bigger difference than I expected. Bad sleep always led to overeating.

I still use GLP-1 once every couple weeks. It’s basically an insurance policy for me and has worked great.

Honestly maintenance has been harder than losing the weight. Staying consistent beats looking for shortcuts every time.

I started my first SEMAX cycle today at 250 mcg SubQ and plan to run it for 14 days on / 14 days off, adjusting between 250–400 mcg depending on how I respond.

What benefits, if any, did you notice?

I started conservatively just to see how I responded Less was definitely more for me
