Hello, I'm Jessie—and yes, brand new here. 
GLP-1s (& other peptides) are all quite new to me, and my 3-month mark on tirzepatide is almost here. On the whole it's gone well, though this past month brought a bit of a stall, which has been frustrating. Ups and downs are part of the deal, I know, and a stall is normal — usually it doesn't even count as one until 4-6 weeks pass with no loss. Mine is heading that way though.
Weights get lifted several times a week and on the days I don't lift, I walk, so hopefully movement restarts soon. And by movement, I mean the scale!
Recomposition is very likely what my body is doing right now, but pretending I'm not chasing the scale downward for the instant gratification would be a lie; even knowing recomposition & muscle building is where the real progress lives. Adding other things to support my progress is something I've considered, though I always hesitate out of fear of temporary water retention, and mentally the scale is getting to me a bit.
Titrating me up quickly may have been my doctor's mistake, since 7.5mg is where I currently sit and the affects are just..meh? Either way, staying right here for a few months is what I'll ask him for, so I don't end up on the highest dose within a short time frame and feeling like it's not working for me.
Nobody in my personal life is on a GLP-1s or peptides for that matter, which is why I joined this forum, and I want to find real-life people going through real-life experiences on GLP-1s & peptides.
Connecting with others, getting advise, and having a place to share & learn is the hope.
Thanks for reading,
Jessie
