Hi all, I'm 48 and I live in the area around the Shropshire/North Wales border.
The main reason I've signed up is that I want to finally get my weight under proper control and win back some of the fitness and sporting ability I had in the past. Activity has always been part of my life — running, strength training, BJJ and time outdoors — but at the moment I'm carrying over 100kg, and that makes building my running volume back up far tougher than it once was. My longer-term aim isn't just dropping weight; it's returning to real endurance fitness.
I'm on prescribed testosterone, and a while back I went through an online pharmacy for roughly 12 weeks of Mounjaro. I did lose some weight, though nothing especially striking. In hindsight I didn't take full advantage of it either — my diet wasn't very disciplined and I wasn't pairing it with training on any consistent basis.
During my recovery from a broken leg I also used BPC-157 + TB-500 and CJC-1295 + ipamorelin. My own experience with them was extremely positive, and I finished up with a very favourable opinion of how effective they were, especially where my recovery was concerned. That is part of the reason I want to learn more about peptides and related treatments, instead of only considering weight loss medication on its own.
What I'm after this time is a proper understanding of the subject — above all, how people pair GLP-1 treatment with sound nutrition, resistance training and endurance work while holding on to muscle and performance. There appears to be an enormous amount to learn here, so for now I intend mostly to read through other people's experiences and chip in wherever I can.
Cheers.
