Hi all, I’m Jack - nice to meet you. I’ve been browsing around this forum for the past few hours and have now created an account - it’s been great to see a forum

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great weekend.

(Intro in a nutshell: man in mid-thirties, currently started on tirza, looking to develop muscle growth and interested in learning more about CJC1295 to support muscle growth. I’ve done semaglutide and retratutide in the past)

Slightly longer version: I’m an Aussie man in my mid-thirties. Growing up I’ve had eating disorders; I was a severely obese child, who started binge eating and then developed bulimia in my teens. In my twenties, I managed to gain some control over this through extensive therapy. I would say that in recent years, I haven’t suffered from disordered eating as much as I did before, but the fat kid is still inside of me and wants to come out.

A few years ago, I started with semaglutide; I was moderately overweight, but not severely. Iit worked quite well, and lost a good amount of fat, but the side effects were quite bad (I shat my bed a few times and had the worst sulfur burps). I had to pause for a few weeks as I went on an extended vacation, and decided to not continue at that point anymore.

A year ago, I decided to try retratutide to get rid of my final few pounds. The first batch I got was bunk, but the second batch worked - again, the peptide itself worked very well, but I hated the side effects. The skin sensitivity was somewhat bearable, but what hit me most was the middle of the night wakeups. I ended up sleeping only 3-4 hours per night some nights. This got better, but in the end, the side effects weren’t worth the results for me. I stopped over 6 months ago.

Recently, I’ve started tirzepatide. I’m only on week 2, so far I haven’t had any side effects yet (started with 2.5mg) so hoping that this will be a better fit. Aside from that, I’m currently exploring stacking it with CJC1295 with ipamorelin or tesamorelin. I’m here mostly to learn a lot about other people’s experiences, as I don’t have anyone to talk about this with. I do have friends and family, but in all honesty I’ve found it extremely difficult to talk to my direct environment about my journey with my body and weight. I’ve had professional help over the years, and do have 2 close friends I have been fully open with, but they live far away and aren’t going through this same journey, so reading about other people’s stories has been very helpful.

Anyway, that’s a lot about me - you’ll probably/hopefully find me browsing through a lot of threads and asking maybe sometimes some stupid questions, but hoping to become much more knowledgeable.

Thanks for your time and hope you are having a great weekend, whoever you are.
