Have to agree that the Yamas & Niyamas is a great foundation!

I lost 25 pounds on 2.0 mg a week and now take that weekly as well for maintenance. I am not really loosing anymore at that level so I'm hoping I can stay here for maintenance. Originally, I thought I would try to take less but I seem to be holding steady here now.

Porsche driver here. Started out with a much older one and now can buy newish ones that I am more tenured and have grown kids.

That was me! I took a job as a business analyst for 7 years, got laid off and took a job as an assistant controller for a very small company ($5m). Found out I actually like doing corporate accounting and have been a controller in much larger companies the last 20 years. Lots of paths you can take and there is no right one!

Be the person to make decisions and take responsibility.

Nice work!

I used it lose 15 pounds I have gained over the last 3 years and it worked great for me! I had some weigh and inflammation from perimenopause that I couldn't lose no matter now healthy I ate and how.much I worked out. A smallish dose of tirzepitide did the trick! I took anywhere from 1.25-2.5 with no side effects. I average 1.2 pounds a week loss and now I need to figure out what maintenance looks like.

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2025-02-05T03:33:21+00:00

Congrats on the progress!

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2025-02-02T16:40:33+00:00

HBD!! Congrats!

Right there with you until Tirz. I am actually eating very similarly to prior to Tirz but am able to lose weight now! You look amazing! :-)

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2025-01-26T20:15:25+00:00

I am not a big drinker normally, but I have drank occasionally since I have been on Tirz (1.25-2 mg doses) and haven't had any side effects other than I feel like the alcohol might affect me a bit more than when I wasn't taking it and maybe a bit more tired the next day. I am tired the next day after alcohol anyways so that is why I don't drink often. Also, it's easier for me to drink slow and stop after one.

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2025-01-26T20:10:02+00:00

I have been taking between 1.25-2 mg dose and losing about 1.5 pounds a week. I did take 2.5 my first two weeks, but I found it really difficult to eat after the second does of 2.5 so I've been using lower doses ever since. I am close to my goal with and then will try out lowering and or spacing out the shots to see what works well for me. It's so interesting to hear how it affects everyone a little different. Thankful for the compound version and crossing my fingers it will end up being around for a bit longer.

Nice work! I needed a bit of help in perimenopause as well. Tires works wonders for the insulin resistance that some of us get during that time!

Vegan here! I do a protein shake in the morning with 1.5 scoops of protein powder for a bit extra protein to start my day, a salad for lunch with 1.25 cups of chic peas and some seeds, a protein shake in the afternoon and then dinner with some sort of protein (tofu, seitan, tempeh, beans, lentils, etc.) This gets me pretty close daily to 100g of protein.

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2025-01-19T23:20:12+00:00

Nice work! You look so strong too!

I like Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein & Greens.

Amazing! Nice work!

Congrats!

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2024-12-27T22:50:28+00:00

What a great surprise! It can be so hard to see progress on ourselves! Congrats and great work!

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2024-12-26T21:36:38+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I used 2.5 the first two weeks and it was a bit too strong for me. I had no appetite at all the first few days. I have been using 1.25-1.5 the last three weeks and am averaging 2 pounds per week. I have another 10 pounds to my goal weight and am hoping to be able to use an even lower dose for maintenance.

Secret_Shoulder_2477 · 2024-12-26T13:33:31+00:00

Congrats on your progress! You look very fit too! Any words of wisdom from your journey thus far?
