INTRO Party can start, I'm here!

I've been reading along quietly for a while, yet I'm still quite unsure about my next steps. I wish learning all this were simpler and that somebody would guide me through it personally.

A few years ago I had surgery and dropped a significant amount of weight. Now it feels like I only need a bit of support to keep the loss going, because my body is trying to put it back on. More than a year ago my surgeon wrote me a prescription for tirz, but the price was too high, and at that point compounding looked like the better option. It worked well. So I'm content with tirz and my current routine, though I'm exploring other suppliers.

Beyond that, my health is good. I'm an athlete who wants to keep gaining muscle and maintain energy as I move through menopause, so perhaps there are additional things to consider down the road, but that's for later.

Welcome aboard. Athletes are plentiful around here, and so are middle-aged women—I happen to fall into both categories.

At the beginning, this place may come across as a lot to take in, particularly once you start encountering more viewpoints and digging further into the science. The complexity doesn't shrink, but your ability to find your way through it grows. Things in this field keep shifting, which means there's no real finish line for learning. On the bright side, over time you get far more comfortable adjusting and separating what's genuinely useful from the background noise.

Plenty of people here know their stuff and are glad to help. Give it a bit of time and the pieces will begin to fall into place.

One of the best tools available in this group is the search function.

Being pointed in a certain direction gives me that same feeling. In my view, that develops after spending some time around here. Anyway, glad to have you. We're sharing the same situation.
