Hello everyone. Just introducing myself. I've been on this journey a little over a year. I'm down 115 pounds and have passed my first goal and am working on the final one. Not sure how much more I want to lose, probably about 20 pounds. I'm 5'6"ish and 167 lbs right now. I started on tirz and when I got to 5mg started split dosing because I had horrible food noise days 5-7 AND had side effects from increasing the dose. I went back down to 2.5mg every every 5 days and then every 4. Over time I've been slowing ramping up. I'm currently on tirz at 5mg every 5 days (I went from every 4 days to every 5 when I added in reta). In late Jan I added reta (starting at 1mg for 1 week to make sure I would have a major issue, then 1.5mg for 4 weeks), and am currently on 2mg every 5 days. I do tirz, then 2 1/2 days later do reta, etc. This seems to be working well. Almost no side effects, I still get hungry but not food noise, and I'm losing 1% of my then-current weight a week. You can probably tell from this that I am the cautious control-freak type. I track everything. I'm looking to learn more, branch out, and figure out what comes next as I get closer to goal.
