Hey over 50 ladies! Get in here, Let's talk

Sitting here tonight I thought about something else I wanted to ask. Anybody else have absolutely freezing feet? The rest of me is fine but my feet are so cold. Been sleeping with a heating pad for my frozen toes.

Yes. I put my feet into the sleeves of a down jacket in bed, whilst I'm under a down comforter! Much of my fat is gone and my metabolism is somewhat lower with these GLP effects. I'm keping my circulation up with 90 minutes/day of road bicycle, but my finger/toe extremities are usually cold. Drinking hot water helps even just to hold the cup.
 
I’m almost 63. Semaglutide didn’t work for me, switched to Tirz, lost 80 lbs; still 40 lbs from goal but I swear my body is changing shape despite not losing right now. I’m on Reta and Tirz (4 mg of each), glutathione, NAD+, GH, KLOW and Melanotan. In menopause. My feet get cold easily so I sleep in knitted slipper socks. I’ve had an itching issue that was recently attributed to menopause.. I’ve not been a normal weight since age 3. I use a vibration plate and walk a lot. Had a duodenal switch w/biliopancreatic diversion in 2001; lost 120 lbs from that, then could not lose unless I was under extreme stress and those losses came back. Nothing worked until Tirz. I’ve lost more slowly, but it’s coming off so I’m happy.

I've gotta say I'm thrilled to see there are so many of us here! 😀😍

I don't always identify with the things the younger ladies are doing as far as lifestyle and diet. I'm aware that it's important for me to get nutrition! I can't starve myself and not have cramps and bathroom problems. It may be a slower path but it's what I have to do so I can lose and still be healthy. I'm a cancer survivor and I think the chemo did a number on some of my bodily functions as far as needing the vitamins and minerals in food. No more starving diets to lose 20lbs quick. I would be hurting for sure.

The other thing is exercise. I'm a self identified fat old lady with a bunch of ortho problems. My joints hurt and I can pull a muscle without even trying. I'm gonna just ease into the working out. I see some people saying it's not super important at first when you're still very over weight but who knows. This is a new frontier of weight loss and there are probably things we don't know yet.

Consider going to a swim pool and maybe just walking back and forth starting in the shallow end. Just swinging your arms in the water is a good no-impact exercise. You go girl...

My to do list now includes Tirz and maybe Tirz + Low Reta? Not sure yet. And other peps: Klow, Semax, Selank, MotsC and SS-31. They are ordered and on their way. And exercise...I know I should be lifting weights but after work I just collapse and into a puddle. (high stress job + cozy couch and family). So am hoping for some help wit the SS31 + MotsC.

Read up on this (mitochondria protocol) since you've already ordered 2 of the 3 peptides involved. Many of us have already done it and I just started mine. The dosing schedule is on the first 2 pages and all the science that developed the protocol is included in the next 15 pages. I will fully admit that I didn't read all of if but I read enough to convince me that trying it has a good chance of helping me. Its a longish read so here is a Video of dude discussing the mitochondria protocol.

Another peptide suggestion for my fellow crones to research .. epitalon. I bought some of this and intend to take a round of it after I finish the mitochondria protocol.

I wish I could find a place that didn't cost a fortune! In middle TN any place with a pool requires a membership that is out of my price range. Once it warms up I'll do that in my own pool tho.
 
Hello!!! I turned 53 in October. I have always worked out and was in pretty good shape. Lifting, spin classes, practicing and teaching yoga for years. Even with all that I was steadily gaining weight every year. When Covid hit it derailed my group fitness. I bought a spin bike and taught online yoga classes but the isolation got to me. I didn’t realize at the time I was in full menopause. Dark thoughts and all that fun.

In 2021 I ended up in the ER with high BP and began taking Lisinopril and a statin. In 2023 I had a semi breakdown one morning. Couldn’t remember my yoga pw at the studio that I had used for a decade. Was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and began levothyroxine. Had to quit teaching yoga at that time.

So really fun times. A guy who worked with my husband lost a lot of weight and told him about taking tirzepatide. I read everything I could and joined all the forums/reddits. We started in July 2024. I’ve lost over 90lbs which it seems crazy I had that much to lose tbh.

Been fully post menopausal since 2023. We just got our GHK-cu, Epithalon, and KPV today. I currently take 3.5mg tirz and just upped my Reta to 6mg. I could be at maintenance but kinda want to lose about 5 more lbs.

I am so thankful for these glps. My husband and I agree they saved our lives. I no longer take the lisinopril or the statin. My BP is great. I will probably have to be on my thyroid meds for life but I am ok with that. Taking HRT now and will never quit my glps.

Extends telemeres! Sweet! There it is folks, anti-aging it a bottle.

Weight loss in a pill, anti-aging in a bottle... the future's here. 😎 I'm okay not having flying cars.

WhooHoo! I haven’t got the nasal sprayer yet. Stalking Amazon delivery times. Can’t wait!

Finally got a mini fridge for my bathroom. It’s too damn cute. Makes the daily weekly pins so much easier.

Yay! My nasal sprayer should be coming on Thurs along with the saline ampules. I very much want to spend the weekend going over my Semax notes one more time to be sure I get everything lined up but really hoping the chat is true and it does give a little boost to clarity and focus. I have not met a woman over 50 who didn't suffer from brain fog at least a little, myself included.
 
Hey! 59. Hyst at 36. The short form of my situ is here. <-- Should be clickable.

If Sema is working for you let it work for you. Just because there's something newer doesn't mean we have to jump on it. Sema has the highest appetite suppression score. If I could still test it, I would. I moved to Tirz earlier this month. 2nd time around testing Sema it was ineffective. Stacked it with Cagri and got a little result but not much.

2.4mg is the highest Sema dose. I have read others are testing it at higher dosages but I didn't go that route. It's currently unproven, I believe. BP is studying it now.

Good luck! Great to have you.
