Who am I? Competitive chess is one of my hobbies, I work in tech (which basically means I'm a nerd), and since beginning Tirz I've dropped more than 100lbs. These days I'm actually maintaining, and from day 1 I've been operating in the gray space.

My childhood involved an Action Replay and Powersaves, and later I moved on to jailbreaking my 3DS, iPhone and kindle. That set me on a slippery slope where people started knowing me as the friend who could "find" any movie, college textbook, or music album for free…

I still haven't figured out how to hack the system for free Tirz (yet), but I'm just thrilled that the grey market exists for people who otherwise couldn't pay for a GLP, which is a lifechanging medication, like me.

Back then I was a college student with no insurance, very little money, and had been trying to lose weight since I was 8 years old. Obesity runs through my entire family... there was no goddamn way I was gonna figure out how to lose weight without a glp lets be so for real.

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm down a little over 100lbs. And what's even more incredible? Since I found the gray market, my family (not counting me) has lost a combined 800lbs and counting. For each of us, all of that runs between $5-$7 a month.

What a time to be alive! I can't wait to hear everyone else's story and be apart of this great community ^^
 
Welcome aboard! It's great that these peptides finally let you drop the extra weight (I went through the same thing — nothing worked for me until I came across glp1s!). The part I really appreciate is that you brought your family in on it. 800lb lost altogether is incredible!

Hey, thanks! The 800lb really is incredible, and it's brought a ton of other quality of life gains plus real improvements in health markers for my whole family. In my view, GLPs ought to be available to everybody who needs them—they're fantastic.

What got you started on GLPs?

Awesome story! Congrats on being in maintenance now!

I appreciate it! At this point I need to work out how to handle maintenance.. any advice would be welcome! Having spent a lifetime attempting to shed pounds, and then suddenly reaching a point where I don't want to drop any more, has left me feeling somewhat off mentally
 
Honestly, this has to be quite something. I'm only at the beginning of the losing phase, yet I can already sense a weight — not a literal one — lifting from my mind, leaving me with so much room and vitality!

Wow, absolutely! I've been using a GLP for quite a while at this point, yet the initial stretch of months is just incredibly freeing. With the constant thoughts about my next meal, its timing, and the guilt or shame over overeating no longer occupying my head, it felt like such a weight lifted

When did you begin?

How old are we talking with the Action Replay? lol. My own start was the C=64. There was a shop that put out VIC 20s with the game tapes available for people to test out. We'd bring in a dual tape boom box and make copies.

A few months have passed at this point. I brought up with my physician the possibility of those "shots that suppress appetite," and asked if I could be a good fit. Having given birth only a few months before, my relationship with food had gotten really rough — I was always slightly hungry (in other words, I couldn't stop eating), and bizarrely I'd put ON weight after my pregnancy! Wild, right lol.

To be honest, it feels like they rescued me somehow. I'm really looking forward to what comes next!
