New arrival here, so I figured an introduction was in order.
I'm 45 years old, 6'3", and these days I'm around 104 kg, which is about as heavy as I've ever been. Up until roughly Christmas I was training consistently - lifting and running 4-5 days a week - and over the past year I went from about 104 kg down to roughly 94 kg. Then an injury derailed me, and getting that momentum back has been a struggle. I'm heading back to the local gym this coming Monday, and I'm hoping that marks the start of a good year in which I rebuild some fitness.
Even with that progress, getting beyond that point proved really hard, no matter how consistent my training was or how carefully I tried to eat. Evening appetite, and the persistent “food noise,” are my biggest problem - they seem to wipe out a lot of the good work.
I've been reading more about peptides and other appetite-related options, and another gym forum sent me this way. Honestly, I'm naturally sceptical - particularly about injecting anything - but I'm here to listen, learn, and hear what people's real-world experiences have been. The idea of sticking myself with needles really doesn't appeal, so I suspect I'll end up going the pen route eventually (hence the username!).
Eventually my aim is to get down to around 85 kg and to feel healthier and more in control again.
Appreciate the welcome.
