Figured it was about time I introduced myself and joined in.

43 years old, living in the UK, and my weight is currently 105kg. Lifting and cardio are things I stay on top of, so the training part isn't an issue — the problem is that I can't keep the calories in check well enough to actually get lean.

I've hit a stage where I want to find out whether GLP-1s could be of help. What I'm after is a better understanding of how these meds work and whether they're the right tool for finally sorting out the diet side of things.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's experiences and connecting with some other UK users.

Cheers!
 
While I was actively dropping weight, I managed to stay below 1800 calories while still reaching my protein target! My whole relationship with food and calories shifted thanks to peptides. I began at 153kg and finished at 99kg (roughly 10 months).
 
Getting my protein in isn't an issue — I manage that reliably and without much fuss. What trips me up is the cravings; once they kick in, I keep eating past the calorie ceiling I've set for myself.

Honestly, this isn't some major crisis. My health and fitness are in a good place. Still, I'd like to shed roughly 10%, and my hope is that it comes off as fat rather than muscle — assuming I stay consistent with resistance training and keep protein intake elevated 🤞

Are you already using peptides, or are you still just researching them?

I've been using MJ for roughly 12 months, and the results have been incredibly good. I'm keen to give ret a go, and after seeing how that turns out I might seek out a grey supplier of ret or return to Tirz. I've just picked up 1 vial of ret from a UK source to test. It should arrive today.
 
I'm thinking about spending extra to buy 10mg from a UK seller as a trial run, before I go all in with a bulk supplier straight away — particularly since many of them are shut right now for Chinese new year.

Same boat here. Dropped a decent chunk of cash on 30 MG just to test things out, and if that works out I'll go with a Chinese supplier for a larger order.
