@KarateEmma I’ve been on compounded Tirzepatide since December, starting at 332 lbs., down to 243 lbs now. I’m taking 4.25mg Tirzepatide on Sundays, and 2mg of Survodutide on Wednesday. Once I started the ghetto Reta, the pounds really started coming off.

@Nuncles You're on to me...

@JtCjEfF the lighting was good that day.

Welcome! A good rule of thumb, so you don't waste a lot of money, is to know the reason and purpose behind why you think you need a certain peptide. Start with the essentials, meaning get your diet on point, exercise, and sleep. Because peptides won't magically help or speed things up. You gotta do the work. This is a great place to learn from and I wish you the best.

This is real, I promise!

@rodneymoody have you had blood work done yet to see if you need it or not? That's one thing I wouldn't do on my own. Definitely would want/need a doctor’s supervision. Things that need to be tested,

#1: Total Testosterone
#2: Free and Bioavailable Testosterone
#3: LH and FSH
#4: DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
#5: Estradiol and Estrone
#6: Progesterone
#7: DHEA-S and Pregnenolone and Cortisol
#8: Thyroid Hormones: TSH, Free T4, Free T3

Thanks everybody for the outpouring of support! And for those of you that are on a similar path, keep going, you got this!! Things I've noticed have been no more joint pain even after a heavy session at the gym. Inflammation is gone, brain fog is gone. I do find myself constantly adjusting the seat in my truck to find a new and comfortable position. I do feel as if I have body dysmorphia issues. Although I've heard it takes a bit for your brain to catch up and register the drastic changes. That part is weird. But I still have a ways to go yet.

@Stevepep Send help! I have 20 pens and just ordered another V3 Ultra and two V4 Plastique.

@Eleanor I feel lucky to have not had any gastric issues while taking Tirzepatide + Survo. The only side effects I have had is dehydration, so I drink a ton of water every day.

@denti I do them either in my thigh or glutes with a 25Gx1 in or in my shoulder with a 25Gx5/8 in. I use the BD PrecisionGlide needles and they are absolutely painless.

@Randy Look at you.. You go on with yo bad self.

@SkepticJen I love that! Good place to go for a field trip. Although I do miss going to Bass Pro though. Nearest one is almost four hours away.

@derekg1 I haven't checked out theirs yet. I use the Lipo-c from Flawless, L-Carnitine 250mg, L-Methionine 10mg, L-Inositol 50mg, L-Choline 50mg, Vitamin B6 25mg, Methylcobalamin (B12) 500mcg, NAD+ 20mg, with 1% lidocaine.

I do 1.5 mL twice a week, usually Fridays and Tuesdays. I really like the boost from it.

@denti I keep mine in the fridge due to the fact it says on the vial to keep refrigerated. Otherwise would keep it in a cool, dark place.

@anotherdad My pleasure.

@anotherdad if I remember correctly for those 1200mg vials, I used 6mL of the GTB water which gave me a concentration of 200mg/mL, so my dose would be 100 Units or 1mL.

@Commander BAC water containing sodium chloride (NaCl) shouldn't be used with unbuffered NAD+ only buffered versions. With unbuffered, it'll just make the injection worse.

Before you start with the glutathione, might I suggest using glutathione transport BAC water to reconstitute. It has added taurine in it and pretty much does away with the spiciness. As with anything, but especially starting glutathione, start slow. I started with 200mg 3x a week, just to make sure I had no adverse issues and don't want to overload my liver. Then I moved up after two weeks to 300mg. I'm now at 400mg 3x a week IM. I've never felt better. Also make sure you're getting plenty of Zinc and Vitamin C in your diet while taking Glutathione.

This was me at my heaviest at 332 lbs. And today coming in at 243 lbs. thanks to compounded Tirzepatide and hitting the gym. And yes, that is a fitting room selfie from Cabela's.
