So this happened this morning… a mattress!!??!!!! 😱🤯

I still have a long ways to go, but I am more than halfway there! I am so grateful for Tirz.

Started out on April 4th at 226.8

(started last year losing without Tirz and went from 250 to 226.8)

So thrilled to see ONEderland. I know I have a lot more to go. It’s not my first rodeo. So, I’ll keep plugging along and enjoying the ride.

Tirzepatide has been life changing and has made weight loss so much more… I don’t even know the right word that can encompass everything it means to me.
Feasible? Bearable? Possible? Enjoyable? Soul-soothing?
Empowering!

I finished my first compound vial!

Info:
My first month was a name brand Kwikpen (I lost 13.6 on that). My second month was Hallandale. No difference. Same feeling. It’s definitely not water. 😉

Dose: I’ve been taking 2.5 these first 8 weeks.
Out of my little beginner dose vial, I got 4 X 2.5 doses PLUS I just tapped the vial by taking my first 3mg dose. So the 3mg was bonus Tirz. (Thanks Hallandale! I love you!)
I decided to up .5 from 2.5 to 3 because at night the last two weeks I was feeling the food noise creep in a bit. I figured I’d been at a low dose for quite a while, so why not up it a bit to make myself more comfortable.

How I tapped it:
To get it out, I had to slowly pull the syringe down so the tip of the needle was closer to the base of the rubber stopper as I drew the liquid out. I managed to get just about every last drop! There was a small drop on the top that came out when I pulled the syringe out because I’d been injecting air to help with pressure, so that was fine/expected.

If someone would have told me 3 months ago that I would be injecting myself and dealing with vials and syringes…I would have told them NO WAY! 🤣

THE LOSS:

I started Tirz at 226.8 on April 4, 2026.
Today, 8 weeks later, I am at 204.8

******I’VE LOST 22 pounds on Tirzepatide!!!!!!!!********🎉😭😢😁😁

My high weight was 245 late last year. I lost 18.2 pounds through a combo of CICO, Fasting, Keto, and lots of walking. I’m so glad I found Tirzepatide and I’m so grateful I don’t have to do keto or fasting anymore!

Also, for my other BED girls out there. The peace, calm, and control that this med has brought me over the last 8 weeks has been a miracle.
From day 1, I no longer obsess about what and how much food I can gobble up. It was like I had an empty void in me that needed filled, but never could be filled. I felt rabid!
I’m so much happier now. So much calmer. I’m learning to love myself and I’m enjoying the journey to a new and healthy me…for life!

So happy!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😁

TWSBI 580 Diamond, Stub
Pelikan Highlighter Ink

Just thought I’d share my fun little experiment.

I’d been having some problems with moisture in the cap. After cleaning and attempting to dry it out, there was always moisture left inside—couldn’t get it out, so I decided to fill it with highlighter ink and just use it when needed.

After a couple months, I noticed there were floaters in the ink. Not really caring if the pen got destroyed ( I have 2 other diamonds that work perfectly and no cap moisture issues), I decided to let it grow. This is several months of letting the floaters just sit, and form into whatever this has become.

It was fun. Not sure if I should try to sanitize it now or just toss it out. Might take the nib off and deep clean it. Maybe. Maybe not…
