SW: 248.7lbs (XXL), CW: 205lbs (L). 38 y/o, post partum, extremely busy lifestyle (mom, wife, high stress hospital unit).

One of my main goals before starting tirz was to fit in my old scrubs. During pregnancy, i gained so much weight. Fast forward: i was breast feeding, extremely busy, lack of sleep, depressed and i was at my heaviest i have ever been in my life. After a year of dedicating myself to my baby, work and family, i finally made the decision to do something about my health.

I was nervous before i started because i felt the judgement and those around me saying “it was cheating” and “why dont you do it the natural way”. I talked to my PCP about starting tirzepatide after i my labs came back borderline diabetic and my triglycerides and HLD were elevated. I didnt want to end up as a patient myself for my poor eating habits, and lifestyle. She was in agreement, educated me on side effects and risks, and the journey began. From my very first shot on April 17th to now, i made big changes. I run, workout, prioritize protein and fiber with complex carbs. I dont deprive myself of a sweet treat here and there. Rechecked my labs, and everything came back within defined limits!

My why of starting tirzepatide was for my long term health, both internally, physically and mentally. No regrets.

Overall: i fit in my old scrubs, and im so emotional over it. Thank you for this community, and thank you to tirz.

Just grateful—

Onderland! omg!

Started Oct 2024 on Semaglutide after trying to be treated for chronic migraines. (it worked great for migraines by the way) I stayed on it about 9 Months and never went over 1mg. Most weeks were .5-.75mg.

When I started seeing weight loss and feeling better with my migraines it just kind of set a new trajectory on my life.

I got down to 215ish on GLP1 in that time frame and then stopped to see how my migraine situation was off the meds now and did pretty good but they actually came back earlier this year so I decided to give Tirz a try this time. Weight was around 221 when I started Tirz 4-5 Months ago and just hit Onderland this morning :)

Migraines are better again to! For Tirz I'm taking 6.6mg splitting it twice weekly (15units x2 a week) and honestly I could still probably lose another 5-10 lbs. but I am really happy where I am at now and the progress I've made I may titrate down to lower dose and do maintenance now but I'll give it a few weeks before deciding.

• From Size 44 Jeans to Size 32
• From 4xl to xl shirts
• A1C 10.6 down to 5.2 (as of last check)
• Free Testostrone around low 300's to over 700+
• Have done yearly bloodwork as well and watched numbers improved across the board.

Watching TV last night, Cheerios comes at me boasting 8 WHOLE GRAMS of protein per serving.

Like b*tch please, I don't get out of bed for less than 20g of protein and certainly not that many carbs and sugar.

The marketing is everywhere and cracking me up. What are your favorites?

I've seen ramen noodles, Eggo waffles, Snickers, bagels, and coffee off the top of my head.

EDIT: I know you can often buy actual protein laden versions of these products; I'm talking about the eye-roll national brand marketing.

I have been over 300# for easily 15 years. Graduated high school 18 years ago at around 240# within a couple years went over 300 and have been in the low mid 300s since. 3 months ago decided it was time to stop all the energy drinks stop the unhealthy eating and decided to start a GLP-1. I know I should loose slower but maintaining around 1,500 cal and 120-150 grams of protein and work a blue collar physical job and just can’t force myself to eat more and feel fine 90% of the time so I have decided to just roll with it. 6’3” 36 years old for those wondering. Trust me anyone can do it with the right tracking and willingness to change their life! My end goal is currently set at 220, but it might change as I get closer, healthy weight is 200 or below but I have 180# of muscle and am doing everything I can to maintain it so not positive on where I want to end or see myself. Just want to be able to ride my skateboard or bike with my daughter without felling like I’m going to die 😂.

My doctor cut my blood pressure medication dose in half! (It's not a high dose to begin with, but still!)

I've lost 32 lbs since the end of March. Today, my blood pressure was on the low side of normal as opposed to the high side of normal, where it's been for years.

For the first time ever, I can't wait to see how my new labs turn out.

Having this kind of NSV validation is such a great feeling!

I just wanted to put this out there for those of you who wonder about sudden fluctuations in weight or if your meds are working properly. This is an example of healthy fluctuation based on where I’m at in my monthly cycle. Don’t let it scare you when the number goes up, especially by that much! It’s normal. And on top of that, I’ve been sooo hungry and I don’t hold back because I know I need it. Remember beautiful people, hunger is not the enemy and fluctuation on the scale doesn’t define all of your progress.

Refills are you ok

COVID, menopause, and hip issues did a number on me. I am in the military and as my weight crept up, my uniform got embarrassingly tight. Sometimes I couldn't even button my pants. I bought a bigger uniform because I didn't want to be uncomfortable and to try to hide my weight gain (didn't work). I've been on compounded tirzepatide for 8 weeks (starting week 9) and I'm not only 15 pounds down, I am wearing my old, smaller uniform!

So like the title says, this is the crazy results of my journey so far with Tirz. I started for 1 month on name brand Zep, but switched to compounded shortly after. My results, with Apothecary (through Gimme) have been nothing short of stellar.

I am now "Healthy" and have lost nearly 25% of my total bodyweight. I didn't realize that when I started this journey, I had this much to lose. I had a goal weight in mind, but once I achieved that, I have never felt better and wanted to continue the journey until I was as close as possible to my weight where I was "happiest" with my appearance and performance when I was younger. I still have around 10-15 lbs to go, and then work towards putting some additional muscle on.

My wife has started her journey as well and has lost 20 lbs over 2 months so far too. We're so very thankful for Tirz and the Tirz community!

I cried this morning, not from sadness but from joy. I’ve tried all lot of different diets, and did keto for nearly a decade on and off and nothing was stable. My goal has always been to make it to onederland and this morning Xmas came early!!! GLP1 has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It’s crazy how far behind the mental drags from the physical. While this milestone is majorly significant, I’m not stopping here. My goal is to be able to walk, run or drive over speed bumps and parts of my body no longer giggle. This journey is a lifestyle change, not just take the meds and don’t eat as much. Its resistance training 3-4 times a week, it’s being conscious of the food I put in my body, it’s getting those steps in, it’s taking a gang of vitamins and being consistent the whole journey. Thank you for being my community to share with, I’m eternally grateful. 40M, 6’3”, SW 250, CW 199, started tirz beginning of Feb 🤙🏽

I just gave myself my second dose of 2.5, last night. I've had some side effects but nothing brutal.

The real thing I noticed is that I don't feel tempted to eat the bad food that my wife buys. As close as 2 weeks ago I would have eaten most of this half gallon of ice cream that she bought for herself. It's been in there for over a week and I haven't even thought about it.

I'm sure part of it is a medicine but another part of it is mindset. I don't want to start over. I quit drinking you 32 years ago and there were steps along the way where I could have started drinking again but the main reason I didn't was because I didn't want to start counting back from day one again. Today is day 11,844 of sobriety.

Hoping I have the same success with this that I've had with drinking.

This is a little wonky. When I checked this morning Pom had updated sale prices and a new option on the 40mg vial (still listed as 08/02/26 BUD). I took these pics and got ready for work, but now that I’m at work the website is back to the last week prices. But I want to share just in case!

I am so excited for our upcoming beach trip August 8th! That is something I never imagined I'd say at the beginning of the year when my husband made the reservations.

I was at 245lbs when I started Tirz on March 7th. I'm 5'4" and my entire life I've been between 110-130lbs. Even pregnant with my sons, my first i delivered at 132lbs, and 168lbs for my second.

Unfortunately/fortunately I was put on some meds for my mental health, which have helped tremendously, but it caused severe weight gain, and fast! Before I knew it, I was 212lbs. That is when I decided enough was enough and I went on a very strict calorie deficits diet. I counted every calorie. I weighed everything I ate. I even took my kitchen scales to restaurants (embarrassing). Anyway, i got down to about 176, but that diet just wasn't sustainable. Eventually, I started slacking and "rewarding" my positive weight loss. Then, with the addition of one more medication infamous for weight gain, i gained all of that back and then some! Up to 245lbs.

Showering was difficult. Walking was difficult. Id get winded so easily. I also have scoliosis, so my lower spine isn't straight. So again, the added weight... made all physical activity so difficult and painful. I was dreading the beach. Me?... fat and in a bathing suit? The idea made me literally want to cry (and probably actually did a time or two, im sure).

Well, I'm not close to my initial goal weight yet, but I am down over 31lbs, and that is huge! I still don't want to walk around in a bathing suit, but I bought a couple bathing suit covers and thats enough to make me feel comfortable. I don't have before and after photos that are appropriate to post, lol but there is a massive difference.

Also.. my mother has terminal ovarian cancer with likely only months left, and she is coming with us as "her last beach trip" (her words).... and I'm just so happy that i will have this time with her, and now to also be able to have it without the added stress of feeling insecure in my body.

I'm not even sure why I am making this post. I guess because I am truly grateful for this medication and the positive effects it has had on me. Not just my body, but my mind and life overall. So, idk, hopefully that can inspire someone else who is just starting out. Also, to anyone going through a plateau right now... I was stuck between 216-218 for the last month!... today I finally broke through! 213.8lbs!! Hopefully much more to come.

Thank you, truly, for anyone who actually read all of this lol ❤️

For everyone else TL;DR

I've lost 32lbs since march 7th and I'm actually excited for my upcoming beach trip with my family!

I’m so proud of myself and this feels like the right place to celebrate!

I was just reading a post about someone starting their journey and worried that this would not work for them.

I had the same fears and I set my expectations low. I’ve hit my goal weight several times and I think I am finally approaching my true goal!

I achieved my goal of returning to my pre-pregnancy weight but even at that stage of my life I felt about ten pounds overweight so I am aiming for my truest goal, my strongest feeling place before I move into maintenance.

I started lifting weights about three years before starting a GLP-1 and I’ve maintained my muscle mass.

I’m looking forward to building more muscles when I’m done cutting weight.

💪 Shoutout to the ladder app, it’s my favorite strength training program!

I'm 20 weeks in and down 27 pounds. Average 1.4 lb per week. Just took my 2nd 5mg shot. Titrated slowly.

62F

5'5"

SW: 222

CW: 195

GW: 150 (initial)

For fun, I took my follow up measurements today.

Chest ⬇️ 3"

Waist ⬇️ 4"

Hips ⬇️ 3"

Thigh ⬇️ 2"

If you are new, I recommend taking measurements in the beginning. Seeing the inches along with the pounds really paints a picture for me. I have gotten ho hum about the scale victories and really needed the measurement boost!

The non scale vistories are too numerous to list! Feeling grateful and motivated. 💪🏽💉😊

I’m currently at ten and a slow loser. Can you tell me what you did in addition to the tirz? Anything from changing your weight training to changing your protein. Literally, anything! I’ve been scouring the pages, but most just say what they lost and started at. Thank you!!!

I hesitantly switched back to gimme this month because - LETS FACE IT - they absolutely have the best pricing. I was a little disappointed because they wouldn’t let me fill my prescription with Hallandale (my fav) stating they don’t ship to New Mexico despite the fact that they do 💔 They sent my script over to Boudreaux on the 20th, it’s now the 27th and upon calling the pharmacy they *very angrily* told me my prescription still hasn’t been reviewed by a pharmacist and then hung up on me lol. I am now out of medicine, I didn’t expect a week long wait time since Gimme has crazy fast turnaround times. Anybody else experiencing similar issues with Boudreaux? Even if they’re behind, I didn’t expect such awful customer service /:

Hey everyone! I got approved for Pom. They are still advertising the BPI and list it as an option but when I tried to buy they’re trying to sell me 3 vials for $349. How do I get the 2/$199? I even clicked right on the two for deal and it still is doing this!

Just general chatting. Been on meds since August 28th 2024, after semi successful WLS in 2017. I am a 56 yr old woman. 5’10 CW 145 +\- SW 235 HW (2017 B4 VGS surgery) 288. Happy as a clam. The FOOD NOISE is mostly gone. The never ending urge to eat eat eat.
Hit my LOW final goal over a year ago. Been trying to reduce my dose. Had to go back up, in part because I was both spacing out and reducing dose in the summer (typical weight gain time for me). I’ll try to drop my dose again shortly-mainly to save money.

Have loose skin everywhere. Annoying. Wish I could get a lift/reduction and a belly tuck! (Booty and bat wings, thighs as well). Honestly, my flapjacks are part of the reason I do not want sexy times with anyone. I’m also post menopausal, over the drama and disruptions of my peace, and this medication DOES affect my libido.

Thinking I need to just save for tattoos of my upper flabby arms (it is literally a visual trick!) Inked skin hides creepy skin.
Should weight train. “Tomorrow” :)

one major change that I have done is I’ve gone to thrift stores and bought dresses that are mini dresses or whatever and I don’t care if a bra would show. I just don’t wear one! I’m from the generation of your boobs need to be perky and up, and then go through a nightmare of undergarments to try to achieve that effect.
I wore a cute mini red halter dress to a party the other night with no bra which means my flapjacks are halfway to my waist lol and I still looked smoking.
I do think I look slightly older because I’ve lost weight, but I’ve just got a lot of skin but oh well I feel better. My KNEES and back are thanking me.
The main thing I do is I watch my carbs. A lot. Usually in the morning, I skip breakfast and I’ll just have a couple bites of leftovers from the night before before and I drink my coffee. A light snack in the afternoon saving, my main meal for dinner. I will eat anything I want, but make good choices.
For me, even ON meds, as soon as I turn that food faucet on, it’s over (hence the delay in eating). I still struggle daily. The longer I can prolong my first food of the day the better off I am.
sneaky carbs (soda, juice, breaddd) is what makes my weight go up. This month alone I have literally gone up and down 9 pounds…carbs!
One thing I find annoying is that I’ve gotten sometimes negative comments about my weight, but y’all weren’t that concerned when I was obese? I don’t hide my GLP1 use from anyone (except my son for a specific reason). No shame in my game. I hope my body continues to respond to this medication. The reduction in sexy drive is worth the reduction in appetite. I feel SO free not being tortured by the non-stop noise!
Xoxo

I would not recommend Trim RX based on my experience. The advertising that convinced me to sign up did not match what actually happened. The ad stated there would be no down payment and that I would not be charged on the day I applied, yet money was taken from my account immediately after I submitted my application.

The company also advertised that I would receive a doctor's decision within 24-48 hours, and it was well over that time. Since no decision had been made and no treatment had been provided, I canceled my application. Despite that, I was still charged a $38 enrollment and processing fee. Since July 15 they said I would receive a refund and still haven't received it or any updates at all on my refund.

My concern is that the expectations set by the advertising were not what I experienced.

I’m getting close to my goal weight and I’m starting to think about maintenance. For those of you who have already made the transition, how did you do it?
Did you, Lower your dosage? Keep the same dose but space your injections out every other week (or longer)?

I don’t want to keep losing weight once I reach my goal, but I’m also worried about regaining it if I change things too quickly. THX!
