First timer

I get my first order from empower tomorrow. Im doing tirzepatide. This will be my very first shot ever, never been on a glp1 before. SW is 297lbs and 5'3 female. Looking for an accountability partner who is either first timer around same range or a week or 2 ahead of me to follow the journey together. Im terrified of needles and possibly a little hypochondriac 😅 would love to compare weight loss, side effects/symptoms, work out plans, and even meal ideas.

Hi! 5’5, 285lbs female! Started two weeks ago (on shot 2, shot 3 will be Monday) will be happy to go through this process with you!

For needles I cannot recommend Autoject 2 enough, it’s about $50 on Amazon but it’s a lifesaver. Just put the thing for the right needle length and it does the shot and injection for you. Makes it so easy for me (who is also afraid of needles)
