Hey everyone, Adam writing. Originally from LA, currently based in DFW. My whole life has involved a battle with weight, which is what got me into peptides and the idea of living a bit better through chemistry.

Right now I'm on compounded tirzepitide, and I'm curious about what other options exist =)
 
Glad to have you here.

Give Retatutide a look, but keep in mind that no pill works like magic — dropping weight still comes down to working out and sticking to a diet with a calorie deficit.

Change your thinking, and you can change your life 👌

That's a really helpful thing to keep in mind — it seems like a lot of people lose sight of it now and then haha. Peptides are a fantastic tool, but they don't take the place of the basics

Oh, absolutely.

There was a time I dropped weight, then packed on quite a bit following a relocation. Progress was gradual, though I came to realize it doesn't have to feel awful. 😉

My only goal was to make the deficit less irritating.

Tirz is treating me well, and I'm not sure I want to move up to reta yet....

Reta is fantastic! It works wonders for your liver, though when it comes to curbing appetite, it can't match Tirz.
That's news to me — I had no idea.

I'm in the process of shifting over to the grayer market after using compounding; the costs are just too much for me to manage =(

What benefit does it offer your liver? Given how I treated mine back in my 20s, I'm guessing it could use some healing =)
 
"Grayer" market, haha!

Those prices are brutal. Setting aside everything else — ever attempted to source FOX04 through the "normal" channels? Yikes.

As we age, fat accumulates on the liver (and the damage we did in our younger days only makes it worse).... Look, I dug up a quote: "Retatrutide is an investigational drug that has shown significant promise in reducing liver fat in patients with obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In clinical trials, it resolved fatty liver disease in over 85% of treated patients, with many achieving liver fat levels below the threshold for diagnosis of the disease"
 
I find this quite intriguing. After it has been available for a while and I can observe how it performs across bigger patient populations, I would definitely want to try it!!

Did everyone here end up with the ice that was forecast over the past 2 days?
Yep, absolutely. The car's iced over and won't budge—I'm not going anywhere even if I wanted to!
My mood is really low. Thirteen years have passed since I moved away from Chicago, hoping to escape all of this, and yet this is exactly where things stand now.
