Hey everyone!
So glad I found this place! I was getting pretty tired of the jokes and ridicule over on Reddit when trying to have real conversations about GLP-1 meds, so this community looks like exactly what I've been looking for.
I'm here mainly for weight loss goals and to hear about people's actual experiences with peptides. I've been heavy my whole life - I still remember our family doctor saying "He's a big kid" when I was little, which I think was his nice way of saying "This kid's gonna be fighting his weight forever." I'd like to keep my hands and feet to myself (if you know what I mean!).
I've tried a bunch of different things over the years - diet changes, TRT, went full Keto, even tried Carnivore for a while. Had some decent success initially and lost about 25 pounds, but then gained it all back plus 10 more. Pretty frustrating, but I'm still plugging away at it.
Right now, I'm 6'2" and 300 pounds, and I'm seriously thinking about GLP-1 medications to help with appetite control, but I'll admit I'm pretty nervous about side effects and what the long-term impacts might be. I'm really hoping to get some straight answers about real-world side effects from people who've actually been there, and just ask questions without getting roasted for it.
I'm totally committed to doing this safely and with harm reduction in mind - any choices I make are going to be well-informed and responsible, hopefully with good medical guidance plus the wisdom from folks here who've walked this path.
Looking forward to learning from everyone and hopefully contributing something useful along the way! 👍
