I am 62 yrs old and have been obese my entire life.... I've been a compound Tirzepatide user for the past 8.5 months... down 84 pounds (still have about 50 to go). For some of us.... these meds are not the "EASY WAY" .... they are the ONLY WAY!!!

Thank you @TheNanaof8 ! I am so excited for the changes that WILL be happening in 2025!

Happy New Years Eve ..... :) I've been using compound tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) since April 28th of this year.... BEST decision I ever made!! I've gone from 266 to 187 currently. My goal is 130-135. I am 62 years old and have been obese my whole life, so reaching goal would be a miracle!! I tell everyone about these…

@HappyDonkey75 ... I think tirzepatide with go back on the shortage list as well. I hope so, cause I feel great on it. I've lost 58 pounds in 23 weeks.. but I have a long way to go, so I still need it! I have enough, currently, to get me through December. After that, I will switch to compound semaglutide if tirz is still…

Good morning All.... @7freshflowers ... that's exciting! Reaching intermittent goals is so exciting! You got this! The "thought" of having to lose over 100 pounds (150 for me!) is very intimidating. Every time I would start a new diet plan I always felt defeated before I even started due to the number of pounds I need to…

@lislisa123 Dr. Now is savage!!! :D

I'm tired, and I know it's because I am not eating enough. :/ I have taken seven shots of compound tirzepatide, all at the "loading" dose of 2.5mg. I am never hungry, and when I do force myself to eat I can only manage a few bites. I really want to eat! I think on my next shot day, I will draw only 2mg. Seems ridiculous to…

Good morning Everyone! @kaferine69 .... sorry to hear you aren't getting as much appetite suppression. Your weight loss has been great though! I'm not sure about sema dosing, as I am on tirzepatide compound. I have gotten great appetite suppression from day one. @HappyDonkey75 ... When I first heard about the compound…

Hi ladies! @Alessaprinceza90 .... going to a wellness center is great! I looked into them in my area, but there is only one to choose from, and I wasnt impressed. I would love to have the guidance and accountability. @jgot2lose2 ... Congrats on being smoke-free for a year! I've never smoked, but I do understand how hard…
-
@Courtney9233 .... that's great progress! I have a lot of weight to lose, so I hope I can be patient. I know it will take me a year or more as well. I need to work on my patience! :)
-
@jaxbert ... wow, you've had great results so far! Congrats! Have you ever considered using a compound instead of Zepbound? The prices are much lower. The telehealth company I use accepts HSA and FSA as well. (The dont write letters though, if needed.) Wishing you continued success! :)
-
It's GREAT that there are so many options right now! And making changes in food choices and daily activities has been nice.... before tirz the food noise was too much to stay focused for long periods of time. Not obsessing over food is such a mental relief. My side effects have been annoying though.... typically I dont…
-
@leahnalley8503 .... I started using tirzepatide compound almost a month ago. My insurance does not pay for any of the pens, so I am self pay, which is why I went the compound route.... much cheaper than the pens. I found a good telehealth website that writes the script, sends it to the pharmacy, and it arrives at my door…
-
@PBAUSA17 ,,,, congrats! It's been a game changer for me and I'm only 15 days in! Side effects are minimal for most, but I embrace them as well.... its a small price to pay for better health in the long run. Best of luck to you!

Good morning all.... I'm Jodie and I am 61 years young .... I tried this challenge of losing 100 pounds in 2023 and failed miserably. Over the past holiday season I really put on extra pounds. I weighed myself at the beginning of March and was shocked to see the scale read 280lbs. That was the highest my weight has ever…
-
@FionaAnne22 .... hope you are still doing well on this med. I just started using tirzepatide compound five days ago. My appetite is completely gone! It's a very strange feeling. I felt nauseous last week after my first shot, so I am trying to do better this week and get more protein in. Apparently, drinking a lot of…
-
Jas.... and all! I get my compounds through a telehealth service..... it was so easy! I selected what meds I wanted (either semaglutide, which is the same as Ozempic, or Tirzepatide, which is the same as Mounjaro & Zepbound) ... then I filled out a short health screening questionnaire. My info then went to a doctor who…
-
Hi Jas! I'm on day 5 and feeling terrific! I am really struggling to get in a good amount of protein and calories though. My appetite is gone... completely. I barely eat, yet I never feel hungry. I literally have to force myself to eat. I started last Sunday, but I am going to take my second shot this Saturday. I am…
-
Hello all..... I am also new to taking the tirzepatide compound. Took my first shot three days ago. I felt terrible for two full days afterwards. Lots of bloating and nausea. Feeling better today, but no appetite at all. I hope the side effects arent as bad with every shot, as I really want to remain on this and lose…
-
Hi all! I just started on a tirzepatide compound three days ago. I did not do well! I felt so bloated/full and nausea for two days. Today, I finally feel better. I sure hope I dont feel like that every week. I definitely don't have an appetite though... I am struggling this morning to finish a protein bar, and its almost…

I love DLK (dirty lazy keto)... been doing it since May and have lost 50 pounds (still have 60+ to lose). I log my food every day on MFP to keep track of my total calories. I try to keep my net carbs between 30 and 40. MFP doesnt calculate net carbs, but its easy to figure out. I have totally cut out sugar from my diet....…

Hi... I'm Jodie. I tried juicing about a month ago for just a few days and loved it! I wasn't really prepared for the constant produce shopping and time it takes to clean and prepare the fruits/veggies... along with cleanup time. So.... now I am ready! I went to the market today and bought enough produce for three days of…
-
"i don't think im a hideous monster". And yet, you dont even have a pic on MFP? :huh: Online relationships are not easy, but being honest and upfront, about everything, is crucial. Best of luck to you!
-
Happy Monday ladies.... :flowerforyou: I am having an All juice day.... and no, I dont calculate the calories. All of my concoctions contain both fruits and veggies, so I just keep the portions within a reasonable amount. My hubby thinks he can drink non-stop because its juice!! LOL... I set him straight though. I havent…

Hi ladies! I'm Jodie.... 51 years old and still waiting for menopause to start! Last September (with more than 100 pounds to lose) I decided it was time to get some weight off before menopause. I lost consistently until this past February when the scale stopped moving. On April 29th I started juicing as my main meals. I…
