Hey everyone! GLP1s have been part of my routine since '24, and I began hitting the gym at the start of '25 — I'm down 60 lbs now. At the moment I take testosterone cypionate at 50 mg/week, Tirz at 10 mg every 5 days, and I'm in the process of titrating up a semax cycle. I'm loving it! Right now I'm looking for something that can reduce visceral fat (I'm certain it's visceral since my stomach sticks out quite a bit and feels fairly firm. It looks really out of proportion), but that won't cause tumors, since I have a history of them. I gave reta a try before, but I had some pretty severe side effects, probably from titrating too fast (I was given bad titration advice): terrible insomnia, acid reflux, brain fog, and I lost interest in basically everything; I could hardly keep down 500 cal/day. I'd be open to trying reta again, but I'd prefer not to, because tirz is working really well for me. I had been on 15 mg, but my trainer spotted that I was losing muscle and my energy was pretty low. We figured out I wasn't eating nearly enough, so I lowered it, and the testosterone really boosted my appetite (probably back to normal levels honestly) and I feel so much better. My only concern is that I'm 215, just 16 lbs away from being under 200 and 50 lbs from my "ideal" weight, based on my body type and goals. I have a history of a bad relationship with food and weighing myself too often, so I've become paranoid about gaining weight instead of losing, but I suppose that's just how recomp goes? Anyway, nice to meet you all! Long time lurker, excited to be part of the community.
