Hi all!
68 year old semi retired male (I still show up at the office 20hrs a week). I have been active the majority of my life. I mostly do hiking and walking locally, but in years past did more rigorous adventures. I have had stretches where weight and fitness have been up and down. I mostly don't go too long before I reel it back in and get back to it. The last six months, there have been health issues within our family unit and time constraints and stress put fitness on pause. I got up to 225lbs which was a 25 year high. It is not a comfortable weight. I kind of like being in the 200-205lb range. I know that's not a huge amount for a GLP-1 program, but here I am nonetheless....Plus my latest blood tests showed high triglyceride levels, diabetes concerns, yada...After consulting with my primary care doctor, I asked for a script for tirzepatide. I started 5 weeks ago at 2.5mg x 4 weeks...and then re-uped with 5mg x 4 more......It seems to do the job on appetite suppression and my symptoms are not too bad. So here I am. I found this site from another unrelated board that I frequent and thought I would dig through the information here to become better informed on the GLP-1 world. I am nothing if not studious...
I look forward to it...
