H ello, I'm a writer by trade (old-school style) - I should introduce myself? Hmm, ok. I'll give it a try, some brief lurid scenes from a rather varied life. Settle in, there's some more reading ahead. Raised in South Africa, now based in Connecticut. After decades of happy smoking, I got COPD - (that heart and lung disease thing needing an air hose 24/7). Oy. Did things get worse after that? Of course they did. But we're not here to talk about that 
S o as my weight began to steadily increase, reaching 300+ pounds - I realized it was time to get thin. Thought I'd approach modern medicine to see what they could do. Turned into much fighting with an insurance company, (luckily my sleep apnea finally sold them on the virtues of letting me start the ZepBound process.) Long story short: realized that there's a delicious chemical called Tirzepatide. Oh, and another one called Retatrutide. Yummy. The possibilities started making themselves known. The concept of DIY raised itself in my cheerfully heathen brain. There's got to be a cheaper and more fun way of losing weight than fighting with b******** at the insurance company...
Then one morning, following an indirect lead on Reddit, I ended up Googling the 'glp1 forum,' and found you all lurking here - and signed up for this Forum - and very happy to have discovered it, after thinking I was all alone for so long.
Aww, I know
But that's what I thought. Go figure.
N ow I'm older and wiser, I've generally learned to smell the flowers - which is always a good thing. I consider myself to be the semi-happy leftover of a rock-n-roll lifestyle. I hope to be a well-behaved, mostly disciplined forumite.
