Tirz is changing my life!

[Snack-Dude]

This stuff rocks. My BP is about 120/80 now, was like 140/95. No more snoring, and my pulse is in the upper 40s. I've lost a lot of weight before, but I'm thinking this might be different. Just about 8 lbs before I hit my goal, also trying to get fitter. Was thinking about trying Reta, but after reading about the issues with it raising your resting heart rate, I'm happy with tirzepatide.

Congrats! Great progress. What's your diet/exercise plan besides the Tirz?

 

[Med_Cookie]

Awesome job!

 

[FitCheck]

Good job! That's a lot of weight to lose in 5 months. Kudos.

 

[Snack-Dude]

Nothing special. I focused on unprocessed foods with a lot of protein, did a good amount of peloton + walking, and some bodyweight stuff. Now trying more strength with yoga. I've been reading about metabolic dysfunction, and just losing weight isn't enough, you need to move.

Way to go, man! If it works, don't mess with it. What dose are you on? Any plans to lower the Tirz dose? Keep us updated on how you maintain.

 

[Snack-Dude]

I'm on 7.5 mg. It works well at that dose, so I didn't increase it.

 

[Snack-Dude]

Once I hit my target, I'll probably stay there a couple of months and see if I need to lower the dosage to 5 mg or maybe take it every 10 days.

Wow, @Snack-Dude, that's amazing! I've only dropped around 20 lbs in the past 6 months, and I'm trying to lose 100+ lbs...

I'm on 7.5 mg. It works well at that dose, so I didn't increase it.

I'm jealous how well that dose works for you! I've been on 7.5 for over six months and still want to lose another 35-40 lbs. I couldn't handle 10mg

 

[FitCheck]

Congrats on the progress, @Snack-Dude! I saw someone online who dropped 56 lbs in about 8 months. They said they stayed on a low dose the whole time because it was working. Pretty cool to see different experiences.

Did you find the meds change how your tattoos look?

 

[chia-finder]

Been struggling with constant food thoughts for years. My doc put me on ozempic and it flipped a switch - the mental chatter about eating just stopped. Tried therapy solo but the actual medication was the game changer.

At 62, erectile dysfunction hit me hard - never experienced before. That sparked my tirzepatide journey. Combined enclo and tirz last June. Incredibly happy to report full recovery. Girlfriend pleased too.

Great progress, you must be pumped! Discovering grey hair is definitely a wild thing happening.

BP normalization, snoring gone, and pulse that low is the full cardiovascular signal - that's the trial data showing up in lived experience. Most people on Tirz report the side effect profile smooths out by the third or fourth dose step.

 

[sleepy-lateadopter66]

that's awesome you're experiencing relief from it. those results sound incredible. did that quick titration schedule give you a rough time with side effects, or did you sail through it?

The impact this drug has is genuinely life-altering.

 

[TheGo]

The lifetime framing is the right shift for metabolic conditions. The intervention that works is the one you stay on, not the one you cycle through.

BP and snoring both improving together is a strong combination. The wins stack fast.
