I’m 60 days in, and if you look at my previous post, I was really scared to hope that this might work. Ozempic failed me completely, other than amazing blood work.
I’m down 30lbs, and I stayed at the same workout schedule and just lowered my calories 200 to 1660, per a Dexa scan.
That regimen without Tirzepatide? 3 months lost zero pounds.
I’ve got about 75 to go, and I have hope, finally. Whatever is broken is being fixed by the Tirzepatide.
I’m just getting ready to refill, the sale is a great bonus!
I’m looking forward to the higher concentration as two shots wasn’t something I looked forward to.
If you are on the fence, just do it.

As for the photo thing, I was just asked for a full body selfie, no weird scale photo, which seems reasonable to match my ID. This is a prescription medication, after all. My local compounding pharmacy needs my ID and looks to make sure it’s me when I pick up prescriptions too.

Ok, here goes! I’ve been on Ozempic for 2 years at max dose and while my bloodwork is phenomenal, better than my very fit husband, I’m not losing weight. I work out 4-5 days a week lifting weights plus burn 600-800 cardio calories. I keep my protein up, drink my water, but I’m still not losing. I’m on all of the HRT, and that helps so much with everything else.
Yet it hasn’t done anything for food noise or appetite from day one.
I’m so scared to hope again. I was so hopeful when my doctor put me on Ozempic, then nothing. My friend found success with tirzepatide, and had a similar experience with Semaglutide, so I’m going to give it a go. My insurance will only cover Ozempic, so this has to be out of pocket.
I’ve been overweight my whole life, I’ve suspected my metabolism was messed up from so much dieting, but now in my early 50’s, something has to change.
I’m truthfully scared that if I stay overweight, doctors will dismiss health concerns and blame it on weight. I’ve seen too many people die from this.
