INTRO Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[Thighknee]

Hey everyone!

After watching from the sidelines for quite a while, I figured it was time to say hello and share a bit about how I got here.

For as long as I can recall, I've had a tendency to latch onto one or two vices. A few months back, though, I made the decision to genuinely try to turn things around for myself.

Growing up, food was my addiction. When I reached adulthood and found a better mental place, I managed to shed most of that weight. Then, a few years on, I bounced between various drug addictions for a long stretch. Eventually I hit a major breaking point, quit all the drugs, and ended up right back where I started, hooked on FOOD! Mentally, the past few years have been rough, but I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, started on medication, and things are looking up. Now I feel ready to take on this final addiction.

I'm 40 years old, 6ft 3, and weigh around 25 stone, so I'm a big guy with a lot of weight to lose, but hopefully I'll be smaller soon enough!

Today I placed an order with a supplier I found on here, so I'm hoping it arrives safely and I can begin this next chapter of my life.

Thanks for reading.

One more Irish person joining up — wishing you the best, and I'd like to hear how things go with sourcing. Are you choosing tirz or reta, and is this your first time with either, or did you go directly to grey market? I used tirz mounjaro myself and it worked really well for a few months, but the price became too high.

Cheers bambam, hopefully there won't be any hassle and it lands with me, any idea whether An Post tends to seize parcels often?

Ozempic has been my thing for more than a year, the only option open to me was the 1mg pen, so the result was just a handful of kilos dropped. For someone my size with my appetite, 1mg simply wasn't enough, and like yourself mounjaro was out of reach at 450e each month, which is why this route is the one i have to take now.

A month has passed since i stopped ozempic, giving my body time to get ready for a different GLP, and the first order i placed was for Retatrutide. RT10, RT20 and bac water are on their way to me from China, should arrive any day.

There's still a heap of research ahead of me about the right needle size, how to dose with insulin needles, how much bac water to use and so on, so with any luck i can put more questions up on this site once being so new here stops holding me back as much.

All the success stories on here have left me really optimistic about what's ahead.
