Hi everyone, I'm glad to have joined. I stand 6'2" and weigh close to 400lb. For some time I've had the intention of beginning a GLP1 journey, but only recently did I get serious about researching it, which brought me to this place. Honestly, I don't know what the first step should be. I'm hoping this community can give me some direction. TIA
 
Yo! Welcome aboard! I'm fresh to this forum too, but everyone has come across as really kind and willing to help, and plenty of folks share similar objectives...

Online there's a ton of material, not to mention everything on this forum, and it can feel like a lot to take in, but I'd look into the various GLP-1's out there and how they differ (seems like your research is already underway 🙂) - from what I can tell, Tirzepatide & Reta are the ones most people go for when it comes to weight loss.

My wife and I have both been using Mounjaro for roughly 9 months - I'm down 80lbs & she's down 56lbs...

Our reactions were totally different from each other, she dealt with some pretty consistent sides while I've hardly had any bad effects (thankfully).

The only thing I'd suggest is that once you begin and the appetite suppression kicks in, do your best to avoid eating too little, and even having a shake on days when suppression is strong can support your overall results.
