6 weeks in and loving it!
Just wanted to on and share as someone losing slowly and steadily on a micro-dose of compounded tirzepatide. I am a 35f who has been incredibly active all my adult life. I’ve been weightlifting for 14 years, participating in competitions, training for half marathons, all the while getting 12-22k steps every day in a very active job (personal record was 32k). I’ve been taking collagen and drinking electrolytes for close to a decade. I don’t drink or smoke and never have done either. I sleep 7-9 hours a night, have low stress, eat healthy foods, and even owned a macros-based meal prepping service as a private chef for 6 years. In fact I went in to culinary arts because I love food so much and just wanted to be around it all the time.
I literally never thought midlife weight gain would happen to me. I have done all the things consistently for as long as I’ve been an adult. I was able to use discipline and limit myself to going crazy only on planned cheat days.
As the years went by and intense hunger has slowly crept up on me. I was starving all the time and thinking about my next meal and the next days meals constantly. I have been trying to lose about 15 pounds for 2 years with absolutely zero luck when it was so easy in my 20’s. My weight was starting to come in on different places as well. I had never in my life had a belly pooch (I was back to my pre baby weight with my children when I left the hospital because I was so healthy and active in my pregnancies) and my love handles were just growing and growing. My waist totally disappeared. Nothing fit and I hated looking at myself naked.
When my mom saw success on tirz I had to give it a try. I started at 1.25 of ProRx tirz from gimme. It suppressed my appetite by the next day and the food noise is just totally gone. I know people say this a lot but I finally understand what it feels like to be a normal person. I feel energized, motivated and hopeful in all areas of my life. I only wish I would have started sooner. My side effects have been very mild and tolerable and even this small amount of medication is making a big difference to me.
I just wanted to share in case there is someone out there with a similar story. Or so that others can maybe let go of some guilt they may have around weight gain. I was doing everything right and I was doing it right for a long time. Idk what happened but weight gain and sneak up on anyone and I’m glad to find something to help me get it under control and make such a positive difference in my life.
