Tirzepatide

I'm a long-time MFP user tracking exercise, nutrition, and weight. I'm 66 years old and have been struggling with losing the extra 15lbs for years. I tried WW, Noom, and Mediterranean and regardless of the amount of exercise, I maintained at 155lbs. Within the last two months, I started slowly adding weight without any diet changes. It was so frustrating and for the first time emotionally depressing. Interestingly, I decided to take control of my emotions and sought the guidance of an OBGYN hormone specialist and started on Tirzepatide three weeks ago.

I'm three weeks into my .25ml injection regimen and am finally experiencing positive weight loss results, after years of trying. I've lost 5lbs. I'm committed to going low and slow.

My cravings are gone, I'm easily getting my 100mg of protein in a day (Core Power Elite really helps), I have a steady calorie intake of 1500 per day, and my water intake is getting much better, but still shy of where it needs to be.

The side effects have been minimal -- constipation being the most challenging.

For the first time in years, I'm feeling positive about the outcome of my weight loss goals.
