I Just Joined!
Hey everyone, glad to be here.
I’m 37, spent most of my career in fintech and other startups. Long hours behind a screen plus stress eating have pushed my body‑fat higher than I’d like. Labs are creeping up, fasting glucose around 103 mg/dL, HbA1c 5.4 %. Time to act.
After years of yo‑yo dieting (keto, IF, you name it) I’ve started tirz at 1 mg every 3 days. Two weeks in: about three pounds down and noticeably smaller appetite, with only mild nausea on day two. I’ve used other peptides before, so I’m comfortable mixing vials and tracking doses, but GLP‑1s are new territory.
Why I’m here:
I've been reading and learning a lot from the posts already here. Grateful for this resource from those who are a step ahead of me on this GLP‑1 path.

Why I’m here:
- Figure out a dosing ramp that keeps GI side effects low.
- Learn what markers (kidneys, lipids, CGM data) I should watch as weight comes off.
- Share data as I go: DEXA scans, blood work, whatever helps the group.
