New here, hoping I can stick with it this time

Hi all, since yesterday I’ve been going through posts here and trying to make sense of it all. Around Tuesday I went down the rabbit hole and I’ve been tumbling ever since, reading up on as much as I can.

Learning about crypto wasn’t something I saw coming, and honestly I think I’ve hit information overload right now, so I haven’t gone into that part yet

Anyway, losing fat is my main goal. I’m 5’3, HW: 248, SW: 235, CW: 231, GW: 140. My insurance wouldn’t cover tirz, so for roughly 3 months near the end of last year I used compounded tirz, but the cost made it impossible to continue. When I began it I was around 235, and by my last check in February I was around 211. Obviously I hadn’t built the right habits, and once I stopped, the food noise and cravings came back HARD. Now I’m working on building better habits, and I was ready to start tirz again but hoped to find a cheaper option. While looking things up I came across reta, which is how I ended up this far down the hole.

If anyone has other useful advice for researching and for making the best use of all this information, I’d really appreciate it.

For now I’m holding off, reading and learning before I decide anything.

Definitely went through the materials posted on this site. Really useful

Hello and best of luck! I'm in exactly the same situation. Way too much info to take in all at once. And figuring out crypto definitely wasn't something I expected to be doing on this journey. In case you haven't figured it out yet, the search tool here is a seriously useful way to dig up information.

Hi, welcome — I'm after the same thing, just carrying a bit more weight to shed, haha. From what I can tell, there's clearly a money-saving angle to all of this as well, at least next to the official route. I can't say I have much experience under my belt yet, other than having used some mounjaro before, which wasn't a good time for me since the side effects really knocked me around. Opinions on what to do will always differ and clash, but when it's something going into your body, I figure playing it safe is the sensible approach.

Hope you hit your goals!
