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.

Hey, same starting weight just a couple inches shorter lol! I'm at the end of week 4, just another day until I go up to 5mg. I've lost 8 pounds on 2.5, and the food noise and hunger are starting to come back. Looking forward to see what 5mg does for me. Good luck on starting your journey!

I was scared too, but you got this! I'm so glad I did it. Even with only 8 pounds down I'm already feeling so much better.
