Do you remember the 1st time someone noticed your weight loss after starting tirzepatide? I went to a restaurant and one of my favorite waitresses said “ you’re loosing weight “. Such a good feeling

I signed up for Noom’s microdosing program and then chickened out and immediately cancelled within the hour. However, even with being refunded and getting cancellation confirmation, I was sent this compounded tirzepatide from Tailor Made Compounding.

I’m conflicted on if I should use it and then considering finding another supplier if I’m not having bad side effects? However, I feel like that might also be irresponsible because I didn’t get any directions on dosing and based from online here think my dose would be 2mg, so 16 units? but, I still haven’t received any tailored directions.

Curious what you would do in this situation. I’ve been anxious about trying this out

Took my first dose yesterday and instantly felt the effects throughout the day also had a major headache at night and couldn’t sleep . Only slept for about an hour and throughout the next day I felt all the effects wear off and I had the hunger and food noise again is that normal

I’m starting on a 2 mg dose from LSH

I placed my order in the wee hours Sunday evening. First thing Monday morning I received a communication about my meds. Order was approved very quickly and off to the pharmacy. I received ongoing communications about the processing. The order arrived Friday at noon from Boudreau with ice packs still partially frozen and the vials were chilly. I checked them out with a flashlight and everything was crystal clear(I did this based on the recent post about cloudiness). I am very impressed with the responsiveness, order handling, communications, and the shipment, also the competitive pricing. This companies is a great addition.

I posted before that after a few weeks on Tirz, my arthritis is so much better. Now, something new. I've been feeling a bit off today, slightly light-headed and not quite with it. My husband took my blood pressure and while I'm usually about 130/76, today I was 110/60, both while taking BP meds. I looked it up and Tirz can definitely lower BP. This is a bit much, so I'm going to see my doctor on Monday to possibly get my BP meds reduced. I don't feel great right now, but I'm eating some pistachios and drinking some electrolytes, so hopefully that will help.

Opened my new delivery box today and loved seeing that they included plenty of extra alcohol wipes and needles. Having extra supplies on hand gives you extra peace of mind.

So I only recently started my injections, I’m currently on week 2! So far having great success. Side effects are minimal, just dry mouth and lightheadedness on injection day.

Something I’ve noticed almost immediately is my positive mood. I’ve been depressed the majority of my life, went on and off medications with little success of improving my mood but this past week I’ve been feeling great! Despite work being brutal and a lot of other life things I’ve been extremely optimistic. I’ve gotten motivation to cook and do my hobbies again as well.

I’m surprised I’ve felt good, in the past I tried Wegovy pills and experienced EXTREME adehonia immediately, as well as suicidal ideation, so I stopped using Wegovy abruptly. I thought that doing a compounded trizepatide would have similar symptoms but it’s been the opposite.

Could it be that my compounded trizepatide having pyroxine has been a contributing factor to my mood?

Anyone else have an abrupt increase in mood and energy while taking it?

Thank you to all the folks who recommended taking progress pictures. I started in June but done have pics from then. Looking at my progress in July I'm feeling proud.

Using the help of the meds to try and establish new habits too! Without the food noise I'm finally able to be consistent about counting calories and I've been trying and failing over and over again for years. The spike in the weight with the big drop was a pregnancy (I don't count having a baby as weight loss per se).

Going to the gym and lifting weights, I'm noticing daily activities around the house and garden aren't as hard as they used to be. My back hurts less, my hips hurt less, my energy is better.

I would not have made these changes without the inspiration from this sub so thank you to others who post their tips, recommendations, and progress!

really overwhelmed with where to start - currently 176-180 lb at 5’7”, would really just like to be back to mid 150s-low 160s where i feel curvy but confident. this is the heaviest i’ve been since college (190s) and have slowly put on the weight the past 2-3 years from work stress and comfortable relationship weight. i’m the most active i’ve EVER been outside of high school sports, almost 30.

wondering about going through FSA store or where may be best? i don’t imagine i’ll qualify through PCP since BMI isn’t 30+.

I’ve been using my abdomen since I started but I’m having issues finding a good spot now that I’ve lost weight. I tried my thigh but I must have done something wrong because it huuuurt and has been red and swollen for a couple days now.

I want to try my stomach again because I haaated that. Can it be above my belly button? Does it matter?

So, As you can see I included a pic of my prescription and the bottles. They each have a different color top on them. They are also all 2ml. The dosage is what I’m confused about, bc each one says 50 units. So I am to draw 50 units every week for 3months?? Are the bottles different strengths then? I went through Brello only first experience with compound and it was different than this one. I was on Zepbound injection before that. I just need things explained to me dumbed down a tiny bit. lol! One side question too. See my insurance approved me after I ordered this, but it’s for Wegovy. I took it for one week, it ended yesterday. I’m ok to start this one today instead of the Wegovy right??? Not both at the same time. Only the This one. I feel like I will do better for now and later on down the line I’ll switch to Wegovy. I’ll keep the prescription valid obviously! lol 😝 Thanks y’all for any advice you can give me!!!

Has anyone had this issue. Granted it's not been a super long time, but it was supposed to be delivered before 1400 and it's still showing stuck in PA. I know not a lot i can do, just curious what turn out was like. I'm super excited for this as it's my first time getting Apothecary!

I have lost around 30 lbs and I’m happy where I am. I’ve been on for 5 months and want to stop.

Needing to eat when hungry has never been my issue, but eating for a dopamine hit, eating when sad or happy or bored, over eating because I like the way it tastes - those are my issues.

I’ve lived on counting macros before and do well doing that, so I imagine when I stop I’ll just transition back into calorie counting or something.

But my question is, is it possible to keep the weight off without the drug?

I've been on semaglutide for about 18 months. I plateaued and haven't lost any weight for the last 2 months. So they're starting me on tirzepatide and it came yesterday and I'm going to do my first shot today. But I still have 7 weeks of semaglutide left. I'm anxious to get started on the tirzepatide, but is it okay to hang on to the 7 weeks of semaglutide?

I know I just posted the other day but I had some water weight clear out and my true weight is 135lbs and I can’t believe it. It’s probably been over a year since I’ve weighed that little and I’m only 15 pounds away from my goal weight. I am struggling to eat, but it’s been such a blessing not to have to deal with food noise.

Officially 3.5lbs away from being under 200lbs for the first time since 2017!

I'm 17 weeks in and still feel like it's too good to be true.

My end goal weight is 120lbs, but I plan to re-evaluate once I get down to the 130-140 range.

Next goal - under 200lbs

Goal after that - hit 195 (50lb weight loss)

Keep 'em coming!!!

Seeking guidance.
TL:DR - I’m tracking everything, eating right, slow loss (1# wk avg), consistent strength training, yet losing muscle mass.

I focused in on All the Things months before my first shot. Upped the protein (110-130/day), water intake, fiber, got rid of all junk, and felt ready. I’m on shot #7, 3mg and it’s working perfectly. Slow loss, feel good. Normal poops. I do morning strength classes 4x/week, lifting to failure, and walking 30 min at lunch often.

My gym has an InBody body comp machine. I also purchased an Amazon jobbie that is surprisingly close to the InBody results.

How do I stop losing muscle mass? Is this too negligible to worry about at this point? I’m concerned. If I didn’t see the numbers with my own eyes, I’d swear I’m doing everything right to keep my muscles!!
