I am new here and I want to thank you for the acceptance into the group! I'll try to make this as short as possible. I started my health journey a little over a year ago. I have lost 30lbs just by changing my lifestyle and consistanly going to the gym 5 days a week. A friend at the gym got me onto Peptides. Suggensted that I try Reta. Went to a clinic that put me on a tripeptide that had Tesamorilin in it. When I went back they didn't have that one so put me on straight Tesa. The always preloaded a months worth in the syringes for me. I had read up on glow and decieded to get that from them next. It was getting expensive for me (due to income) so I decieded to do on my own. This time I listened to my friend and got on Reta. I have been on it for 8 weeks and absolutly nothing except the skin senstivity thing that is driving me crazy but putting up with lol I've read so much about people losing so much weight with only being on for a month.(probably water weight). Anyway I decided after more research that maybe I needed to fix some stuff on the inside. So tonight will be my last pin of Epithalon. I started SS-31 last week and plan to run for 8weeks (I smoked for 34 years so probably a lot of damage) I plan on starting Mots C in 3 weeks. I am on my 3rd week of CKH cu after 6weeks of Glow. Also taking Niacin with flush instead of NAD+ for one week now. Last week I just dropped my dose of Reta from 4mg to 2mg (thinking that stay on it but drop the dose until other things get fixed) I know that was a lot! But any thoughts or advise would be greatly apriciated. Oh by the way I am 55 years young. I do get 7-9hrs sleep a night. My stomach will not allow me to eat all protein needed (it comes back up after so much) So I supplement with shakes. Also I will be doing hormone bloodwork in a few weeks.

Ladies this is what I’ve been waiting to share until I got concrete results. For context I am 41 years old & 57 inches tall. I’ve been on Tirzepatide since October and am looking to optimize my body composition and health before embarking on getting pregnant with baby #2. FYI my Tirz dose stayed at a steady 3mg during this time frame. 11 weeks ago I started a 10 week cycle of the Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin blend. This cycle also coincided with an 8 week cycle of MOTS-C and SLUPP. At first I didn’t think anything changed because my weight didn’t change much. I have a smart scale which encouraged me to keep going because I could see the fat dropping while muscle increased. But honestly I’m still hesitant of its accuracy. When I put my before/after photos together I realized I had leaned out. At the time of the after photos taken 5/4 I weighed 136.9 lbs. Since then some of that water retention fell off and today I am at 134.6. Here were my starting Dexa Scan measurements taken on 2/20: Weight: 138.2 lbs Fat mass: 54.5 lbs Lean mass: 79.9 lbs Body Fat: 39.4% Visceral fat: 1.10 lbs A/G Ratio: 1.03 Here are my Dexa Scan measurements taken today 5/11: Weight: 134.6 lbs Fat mass: 47.9 lbs Lean mass: 82.9 lbs Body Fat: 36.6% Visceral fat: .88 lbs A/G Ratio: .85 Lost 6.6 lbs of fat, gained 3 lbs of muscle, reduced body fat percentage by 2.8% and dropped .22 lbs of visceral fat! So, take the before and after photos. And if you can, purchase a discounted Dexa scan through Groupon. This is the exact push I needed to keep going and give more of an effort. If anything I hope it encourages you that even if you don’t see the scale move much at all, your body is working and you are getting closer to your goal.
