4 month progress update- met goal!

I’ve been on Tirzepatide 2.5 mg weekly for 16 weeks now and officially met my goal of 130 yesterday. That’s 27# down! I’m 48, 5’4”, starting weight 157#, perimenopause. I lift 5 days a week with the ladder app. I used to be a big cardio queen but don’t do much anymore (besides walking at work as a nurse, and walking my dog at home). My originally goal was 130-135. Then when I got to 135 I thought maybe if should be 125-130. I’m going to work on sticking with 130 but building muscle. Will need to decrease the med at some points since my appetite is still so low it’s hard to meet my protein and calories.

Haylo - Floaters? Dust? Fiber?

UPDATE: hyalo has refunded me the full price I paid on gimmecare. we are also working together to figure out what is wrong with my vials to see if it's a batch issue or not. will keep the posts updated!

hey all, ive just received my first order of hyalo yesterday. I took them out today and was inspecting before my shot, and I noticed tiny specks kind of like dust floating around... and not just dust but strands. they look like fiber from clothing and it got me really concerned.

attaching a video here to show the fiber like strand. you can't really see the dust specks in the video but the strand is visible. I was able to capture it in two bottles. in the video in the post you will see it moving across the center and stopping then when I shake the bottle it floated a bit further and it becomes more clear against the white background of the label. these bottles has never been punctured by me and I have not opened their blue caps either. the metallic cover is not shaky, the blue caps can be spinned.

additional info: Quaker community pharmacy, lot H-026, gimmecare telemarket (I've reached out to them but it's currently after hours), 10/2/2026, use by 6/9/2027.

EDIT: okay definitely something wrong. I've already reached out to gimmecare customer service. should I reach out to the pharmacy? or hyalo? thankfully I didn't use anything from these vials 😭😭😭

Hyalo contamination and possible effects

Due to the contaminated vials from Hyalo, I am wondering if anyone who has used some of Hyalo's Tirz that has floaters have had any possible effects?

I did inject small dose of an affected batch last week... What effects or issues should people be aware of in case it does cause issues??

Compounded Tirzepatide Order Experience

On Saturday I completed the online intake form for Tirzepatide at Collective. Within an hour, my prescription was approved by a board certified physician. Monday I received tracking information and it was delivered on Tuesday afternoon! Anti-nausea medication was included with my shipment. Packaging was awesome. Ice packs kept the vial cool. Cost is only $69 a month forever, regardless of dose. After 21 days you are charged an annual membership fee of $199. Cancel before the membership fee is charged if you are not happy, or anytime with the push of a button in your portal. My second month will be free, as I used a coupon code. I’ve done a ton of research over the past few weeks, looking at GLP providers and the compounding pharmacies they use. Collective has a 4.7 rating on Trustpilot. I’ve researched the founder, Gunnar Lovelace who is also the founder of Thrive Market. He is considered a “serial entrepreneur” and philanthropist raised by a single mom. He uses Tirzepatide himself and wanted to improve access to GLP’s for all. For every bottle they sell, they give one to someone who can’t afford to pay. Gunnar sounds like a wonderful human! 😇 If you are already taking Tirzepatide, their website says they will allow you to continue your current dose. They also have nutritionists on staff that conduct zoom calls, so you can ask questions. Your prescribing Dr can be reached via chat. So far, I couldn’t be happier and excited for my weightless journey to begin! DM me if you need a coupon code for your second month free!

Favorite water flavoring?

I am neurodivergent with sensory differences and plain water, no matter the source, is something I just can't get myself to drink. I have found that adding flavoring dramatically increases the amount of water I drink and helps with calories restriction and the gastrointestinal side-effects of tirz. Sometimes, just adding some plain lemon juice and a lot of ice to a water bottle is enough to make it palatable. Other times, I add Crystal Light. I can see both these options getting old after a bit.

What are your favorite low-calorie water flavors?

Hyalo Fibers and Particles in vials- Lot HT-026 BUD 6/09/2027

Not easy to see- I suggest putting a flashlight under the vial and swirl the liquid around. Every single one of my new vials has junk floating around in them.

Hyalo has a serious QC problem.

Is it just me?

47/F
I started this journey in February of 2025 at 240lbs squeezing into a size 18. I honestly expected to be happy around 170 in a size 12/14 and thats where I’ve been coasting. My dr has encouraged me to continue which I’m good with.
This weekend I noticed I needed a smaller pair of jeans. I weighed myself, was down another 10lbs and was able to fit into a size 8nat the department store.
Guys, i remember buying a size 12 all the way back to middle school -i have never worn anything smaller and instead of feeling excited, imposter syndrome is kicking my butt.
Has this happened to anyone else? How did you get past those feelings?

1st shot (Aug 13th, 2026) vs 8th shot (Oct 8th, 2026) SW: 216.4 CW: 199.6

I started my tirzepatide journey in August, shortly after my 31st birthday. I've tried calorie deficits in the past and have been successful, but I always ended up gaining the weight back because I relied heavily on food for comfort.Today, I hit ONEDERLAND for the first time in years!! 🥹🎉

I was really hesitant about starting tirz because of my emetophobia, but after lots of research, I decided to give it a try with compounded tirzepatide with glycinate. I started low at 1.25mg for 4 weeks, then moved to 2.5mg, and I'm currently on 5mg.The only negative side effects I've experienced so far are constipation and some fatigue during the first 48 hours after shot day. Otherwise, the positives have outweighed the negatives for me!

I've lost 16.8 lbs since August 13th, but honestly, one of the biggest changes has been my relationship with food. It's done a complete 180. I'm not eating out of stress or boredom anymore. I'm eating because I'm genuinely hungry, and that feels like such a huge win for me.

This week, I also started going back to the gym and have gradually worked my way up to getting at least 7,000 steps a day. I've found that walking for 10–15 minutes after meals or snacks seems to help me stay active and aid weight/fat loss.

what are your tricks for getting enough water throughout the day?

I really struggle with drinking enough water throughout the day. I usually drink about 56-64oz and then I drink other drinks such as protein shakes, coffee, and diet coke which probably adds up to about an additional 60-84oz. I feel like I probably am not getting enough water but I am getting other forms of hydration? Water just does not taste good to me and neither does lemon water so I'm not motivated to drink it. I also have a hard time sometimes telling when I'm thirsty until I feel like I'm dehydrated.

Mirtazapine

Not asking medical advice but personal experience. I’ve taken Wellbutrin and Zoloft for years for my mental health and it’s been wonderful. About a month ago I had a flair up of depression/anxiety symptoms (not sleeping or eating at in, racing thoughts, crying etc). My provider added Mirtazapine to help with sleep, but it also increases appetite. She knows I’ve been on tirz since March of this year.

I read that tirzepatide can offset the increased appetite. Since I started taking it 9/14 it’s like all I do is eat. I’ve slowly increased my dose from 4.5mg to 6mg and it doesn’t feel like I’m taking anything at all. Am I wasting my meds or has anyone had it get better over time?

Tirzepatide pt. 3

oh well,
the effect is building up much more.

I still struggle with the side effects,
slightly nauseous,
but main issue is my stomach like indigestion and stomach pain but as well bowl movement.

Besides that,
I already could notice some weightloss due to my clothes, which are looser.
I haven’t weighed myself yet but will do that anytime soon and might give an update on that.

I had so far 3 shots,
soon I am having the next one.

Food noise is zero,
hunger is very swaying.
Like sometimes I feel ravenous but still lake the appetite or cannot decide what i wanna eat because nothing seems appealing.
And sometimes I don’t feel hunger at all and forget to eat over the whole day.
Very weird honestly,
not sure if that’s normal,
would be cool if someone replies who experienced similar things when it comes to hunger on tirz / glp general.

Thats all for now.
Have a nice day!

Avoid Embody

Everyone do yourselves a favor and DO NOT sign up for Embody. Yes it’s not a “scam” but their customer service is absolutely terrible if you run into any issues. I received the incorrect dosage and ive reached out to customer service many times AND spoken to providers again…yet each time I reach out to check in if they’re resolving it…the agent does not know what’s going on and each time i have to explain the situation and then they “escalate the issue” AGAIN. It’s truly a very frustrating experience and I’m actually just going to go ahead and cancel and dispute my recent payment.

Anyone have recommendations for other companies?

Hyalo concerns.. options?

Hi All. I am in maintenance and just got my refill script with fifty410 but I’m thankful I did not purchase it yet. I’m reading all the awful things about Hyalo and that’s my only option! Unfortunately, I am in a state where Hallandale is not available. I love fifty but I know I need to find another option. Can anyone recommend somewhere that A) accepts pts in maintenance and B) doesn’t charge a fee up front (just in case I get declined) THANK YOU! ❤️
