Hello everybody!! 😍

[Blessedmom]

I'm new to the forum, after weeks of looking for breadcrumbs here and there, a very nice girl shared this forum with me, yesterday was my first day and I fell asleep at 2am reading all the posts I found , well now let me introduce myself, I live in the USA, I'm 33 years old and I've been on my weight loss journey for 9 months now, I'm 5'4" and I weighed 204 lbs so yes, I was in stage 1 obesity I think, I've already lost 61 lbs so far with the help of tirz 12.5 and strength training 4 days a week, currently I have more fat to lose.
I've been thinking about switching to Retra in low doses to see how it works for me and maybe achieve my goal of gaining muscle mass and burning fat. I've thought about adding tea and IPA because after 3 pregnancies and high cortisol, my abdominal fat is noticeable.
Thanks to everyone who reads this post, and if you made it this far, please leave me a tip or several if you're feeling generous today. I really need them. Thanks Again!

Hi!

Like you, I would certainly put way more hope in stacking with reta (or survo) compared to adding ipa/tesa.

Regarding Ipamorelin:

Ipamorelin-cic no dac has given me massive sleep improvement. Less so with tesamorelin.

By the way, regarding the need for cycling and/or blood testing:

Chronically elevated IGF-1 levels from secretagogues will pose the same risks of those levels being reached via exogenous HGH, though.

I only did 8 weeks on tesa/ipa and my blood glucose was up to 105 fasting and insulin was up to 24. Got bloodwork 4 weeks later, waited a week to get the results, started HGH. Seeing how much that impacts my blood glucose and insulin now.

I put on about 8lb on ipa/tesa boosting my IGF-1 up to the 350s, finished up that cycle last Friday, and I've already lost 4lb of it.

Thread 'On Tirzepatide and Ipamorelin adding Tesamorelin'

Hey there, 40 year old male, 5’10” CW 184 GW 170.
I’m currently taking 7.5mg Tirz every 6 days and 150mcg of ipamorelin every night before bed two hours after dinner as well as 4x a week before morning workout.
I’d like to do a 10-12 week cycle of Tesamorelin to help with body recomp.
Would you suggest 2mg before bed or 1mg in the morning and 1mg before bed 5 days on 2 days off?

Regarding tesa, I found this (and put the surprising part in bold):

6 months of 2mg a day Tesamorelin will significantly reduce visceral fat. You need to be dieting (with or without a GLP) and/or exercising to put yourself into a calorie deficit or the visceral fat will be replaced by an equivalent amount of subcutaneous fat elsewhere. It's "weight neutral".

Similarly, regarding HGH (if I'm not quoting out-of-context):

HGH itself doesn't have the sort of weight loss impact being claimed here - if it provided weight loss on the level of a GLP-1, that would be massive news in and of itself.

Even if it worked, you wouldn't see more weight loss vs. the same deficit with just a GLP-1, you would just see a better ratio of fat loss to lean body mass loss, assuming you weren't already heavily influencing that with adequate protein intake, resistance training, etc.
