Long time lurker - First time poster

[Sarsippius]

Hi there! I’m a middle aged man from the PNW. I’ve been lurking around here since about the time of all the Cantides craziness and have really come to appreciate this forum, it’s my favorite. It’s been my number one source for information, and often, entertainment.

I’ve been on GLP1’s and TRT since July 2024. I have lost over 100lbs total. I started on compound Tirz then switched to gray after one month. I was on Tirz for a total of two months and lost 20lbs I then switched to Reta, currently at 12mg every 7 days. I have lost 82lbs on Reta. SW 347, CW 245, GW 200. I’m pretty well stalled out at this point, but still losing 1 or 2 pounds a month.

My intention is to start participating in the forum. I need to change up my game plan to lose the last 45lbs and I would like to interact with some more knowledgeable and experienced forum members for advise. My own experiences may be of some value as well.

Geez! I feel like I’m trying to get a job here. Thanks for your consideration.

Congrats on your weight loss! I am just starting my GLP journey and after buying one starter pack, I already know I won't be able to afford to keep it up. Even after lurking here for awhile, I'm still a bit terrified of the gray market so I'm hoping being more active here will help me feel better about it.

Congrats on the weight loss and welcome to the forum!

You've been lurking longer than half the people who will respond to this will have even been thinking about this stuff at all! I'm glad you finally decided to chat, welcome! ❤️

Warning: I'm about to say something that may make you feel better or make you feel much worse. But it is worth thinking about. How do you know anything you take is safe? The food you eat. The water you drink. The pills you take. And yes, the stuff you inject. You are depending on someone else doing the right thing in the right conditions. Sometimes people are hurt using products that are heavily regulated. Sometimes something breaks. Something gets contaminated. Sometimes there is an unexpected interaction of products. Heck you can develop an allergy to something you have taken every other day without a problem. Bottom line there are no guarantees with anything.

A final thought: the single biggest difference between the grey market and the pharmaceutical companies .. you might be able to sue the pharmaceutical companies if something bad happens. Maybe.

Thank you. Yes, I know you're absolutely correct. I don't trust the pharmaceutical companies either. I've had my own local pharmacist and a doctor almost kill me with the wrong meds or wrong doses. I'm going to bite the bullet at some point and give it a try. Just need to narrow down the supplier once I can ask a few more questions and do a bit more research.

I was also here for the Cantides debacle, have to admit, bought from her, not many sources for domestic shipped kits in Canada and she was nice over email. Just looked again and wow, much more expensive!

congrats on your losses!
