INTRO Greetings from a place of panic!

Hey everyone!

I'm a 42-year-old female, and I began compounded Tirz during the week of Thanksgiving, following 30 years of fighting with my weight. Since starting, I've dropped 32 lbs—my SW was 240, and I'm at 208 now. I figured I could keep going until reaching my GW of 160. At 170, I look and feel decent, and I'd really like 140, but that might not be possible anymore.

My side effects have been few, and it's great to eat just half a serving and leave the rest. I've been shedding 1-1.5 lbs weekly, with some weeks more and some less. I hoped to keep this steady loss going for about a year, but now I'm panicking a bit because the tirz I rely on has been discontinued. So I'm checking what others who truly value tirz but can't afford the brand-name cost are doing, as compounded options might become harder to obtain? Should I switch to semaglutide?

I feel vastly better using this. My coat zips up completely. I don't want to lose access, but $500 per month is out of reach!

Well, hello there! This is the spot where you can make sure your stock stays consistent. To be certain I'm covered, I continue getting mine through my telehealth service and lilly direct.

Glad you're here! I'm also down 20lbs on tirz, so your feelings make total sense to me. In the past, the idea of quitting a meal midway and shoving the plate aside seemed like some twisted myth that thin folks would share. I'd clean my own plate, then fix my eyes on whatever others had left behind. By the time my brain caught up and signaled fullness, my stomach would be in knots.

For anyone who hasn't dealt with eating disorders, there's no way to convey how powerful it feels to hit full partway through dinner and simply leave the rest. Absolutely amazing.

Thanks a lot! This place is packed with so much information.

For instance, when I'm out with friends, I no longer feel shame about how much I unconsciously eat. It's a total transformation.

That comment really lands with me. Have you ever caught yourself still going at it after noticing that nobody else was? The shame that hits in that moment is rough. For me, the drive to keep eating was so overwhelming that talking to anyone became impossible—my head was stuck on whatever was still left on my plate.

I’d pull up the shared app, attempt to work out in my head how much a quarter of it would be, and then end up stuck in the conversation, putting all my energy into not going past my quarter. Thank goodness fractions are my strong suit.
