Omgcongrats!!! You look at least 20 years youngerOkay, it’s bittersweet to look at old pictures sometimes. I start to feel sad remembering that now at 48 years old, I spent a good part of my 30s and 40s at 265 lbs., but amazed that I was able to come this far, with help of course! So here’s my stats:
July 2022
265 lbs., size 18/20 jeans, 3X tops
High blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetic.
Started Mounjaro when you could get it for $25 with the big pharma bastard’s savings card.
Starting dose was 2.5mg weekly and made my way up to 12.5mg weekly over 6 months.
Also taking prescribed Metformin at 500mg daily.
In December 2022, the prescription Mounjaro became a hassle to fill because again, big pharma bastard Eli Lilly and now my PBM OptumRx decided to be a greedy money-hungry bastard alongside EL. Found tirzepatide through a very long trail of bread crumbs that began on Reddit before all the good subs were nuked. Continued on 12.5mg weekly dose with Chinese tirz.
June 2024
Started tesofensine at 500mcg daily dose stacked with weekly tirz, also lowered my tirz dose to 10mg weekly. Continued with Metformin 500mg daily dose.
Reached my goal weight of 160 lbs., and jeans size 12.
Today
148 lbs., size 8 jeans, Medium tops.
Tesofensine at 500mcg every 3-4 days.
Tirzepatide still weekly and lowered to 7mg in July.
Normal blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin levels. Perfect bill of health, according to my primary care doctor. I’m beyond grateful that I discovered peptides when I did, otherwise my health would be in a completely different state today.

That’s awesome!! Great job and you’re definitely a super response so no need to bump up unless it stops working2 weeks until I'm 50!!!! 5'4F
SW202 CW172 Lost 30 lbs in past 3 months. 30 more to go!
LOW AND SLOW, still at 5.0 triz. Not bumping up in dose until I stall a few weeks.
Also did 2 months of mots-c for engery and strength training boost.
100+ grams of protein, strength train 3x per week. Intermitant Fasting 16/8 or longer.
I can't imagine very many docs being accepting. And I'm wondering the impacts if a lot of people start informing their health care. I'd hate to see the party get shut down.So a little add on question here: does your doctor know about your illicit (most likely Chinese) weight loss drugs? And if so are they supportive?
Mine is well aware. I’m 41 and even at my heaviest (330) I’ve never had any health issues.
Frigging men! Ugh...lol...I look at someone eating ice cream I gain 5...you look at a dumb bell and lose 5..hahahahahah5'10 38m
Starting weight: 256lbs 38" jeans, 2xl shirt
Current weight: 238lbs 36" jeans, XL shirt
It's been a month of T@2.5 and first week of strength training.
I am on the look out for that kind of doc. Mine was absolutely against compound when I started. I told her " oh well. My choice." I had researched everything and I mean everything before hand. And made an educated decision. I also told her if she doesn't support a patient that can break down all the material and has done there research she might need to look at why she is a doctor. Since the option would be for me to stay on BP meds..hardly be able to walk from my degenerative disc disease..and being laid flat from my fibromyalgia..and...I also haven't been back...60+ down...no fibro flares, very rare migraines ( that were daily), and I walk atleast 25k steps a day.So a little add on question here: does your doctor know about your illicit (most likely Chinese) weight loss drugs?

Mine is well aware. I’m 41 and even at my heaviest (330) I’ve never had any health issues. He’s never mentioned my weight oddly… But I figured I’m getting older it’ll happen eventually also vanity reasons … a bad breakup inspired the glow up . He’s super intrigued and asks questions off the record… and monitors my blood work in case I get some shady shit but he doesn’t have an issue with it.
That’s awesome!! Great job and you’re definitely a super response so no need to bump up unless it stops working
And to add. I am not on any RX now...migraine meds when they attackI am on the look out for that kind of doc. Mine was absolutely against compound when I started. I told her " oh well. My choice."

It's hard to find someone that is open minded. They don't have to be responsible for them..just open minded.
Aaw, Thank you!Love your journey great job!
