A month in and about 5 pounds lost! I've struggled with weight my whole life. Once I put it on, it seems impossible to get it off. Most of my immediate family is overweight and I'm the only one of my siblings who doesn't have hypothyroidism. I suspect its because I exercise and am a little more careful with my diet. I've been active my whole life but struggle with my diet. This year I've been better about it but it still fluctuates and it's been a SLOWWWW crawl down. I know it's just 5lbs but considering I've lost 11 pounds total since last year, that is a significant improvement.

I have only used Tirzepatide from compounding pharmacies. I accidentally started off with a 4mg dose for my first shot. Been doing 2.5mg the last 3 weeks and will move up to 3.5mg tomorrow. Hoping to stay there for at least a month. Don't want to do more than 5mg if possible, especially now that compounding might be over.

Good for you for being positive about your weight loss even though it's been SLOWWWW. (Hope I didn't miss any 'W's ) Slow is good - that's about 1 lb/week. Of course we'd all like to lose faster but the truth is giving time for skin to shrink and allowing our bodies to adjust slowly is a good thing. I'm pretty slow, too, and the hardest part is not getting frustrated with it. In the past, it was easy to give up because it felt like it would never happen and it would all come back anyway, but now we know with these meds, we will be able to keep losing and then maintain. Keep up the good work!

Just passed my month anniversary on Compound Tirz. Started at 5mg and moved to 7.5 last week (doesn’t show the shot for some reason). Have 2 months left of compound and then I’ll be moving to some I ordered through Amopure.

Started at 344.
Currently 323.
Goal is 215.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of info here. The waters are mostly friendly Dive in!

Revo has been here a while. Longer than you or I actually. He's also had some really good input on some of the discussions around here. I doubt anyone else here could do their own sterility tests.

@Revo39564 congrats! My hope is to loose about the same, but in around 2 years rather than 6 months. I'm 60% of the way there 10 months in.

Thank you! You too!
I've always gained it all back plus more every time I've lost more than 2 pounds a week. Hopefully it'll be okay with tirz but I plan to titrate down and lose more slowly when I get closer to my goal weight. Still need to keep energy for exercise

That recomp pic is amazing. Hard to believe it's only 9 lbs on the scale.
The only downside to weightloss for me is that my lifts have plummeted, especially the bench press, with my bodyweight going from 145+ to 110lbs, but if I convert my lifts to a multiple of body weight, then they don't look so bad!

Started 3/26/24 with Mounjaro. Down 55 pounds. I supplement compounded tirz with 7.5 MJ. Currently taking 7.5 twice a week. I’ll start the SRY tirz when the compound runs out.

The last picture wow!! Amazing job on changing your entire body composition. Hard to believe that is just 9lbs! This makes me motivated to keep on trying to add more muscle I get so sore, so consistency has been hard, but need to keep at it. Congratulations to you and your hubby!

360-313. Big break and some weight gain after I couldn’t afford compound and eventually found research. Slow and steady. GW prob around 260, which was high school linebacker weight for me.

[Love2Garden59]

5'2" F, 59yo, SW - 225 lb, CW - 192.2, GW - 135

Took one 0.25mg semaglutide on 4/21/24. Then switched to compounded Tirzepatide (local Pharmacy) starting 4/28. Currently on 15mg Tirzepatide.

I exercise 6-7 days a week, cardio plus weights for at least 1-2 hours. Cut most carbs,. I am a vegetarian so consuming large amounts of protein is a problem. I try to do 1-2 protein shakes a day. When I was counting calories I was eating maybe 1200 a day. Don't count anymore since I eat pretty much the same way everyday. Appetite suppression is pretty decent for the first 5 days then comes back to sort of normal. I never had food noise to begin with , ate 2 meals a day without much snacking, ate when I was hungry. Still struggled to lose weight.

Loss has been very slow about 1 lb a week. Totally lost 32 lbs so far and 48" overall. Clothes which I hadn't worn in years are fitting me well and all my 2x clothes are hanging on me.
