Hi Everyone!

What a great forum.

My journey began with Titz about a year and a half back, when a coworker whose neighbor had bought it from a supplier in China put me onto it. Roughly 6 months in, I raised it with my doctor and she wrote me an rx script for it, siting my sleep apnea as the justification. I moved to a local pharmacy, then a US based online compounding one, since insurance would not cover the brand name — it simply felt safer (albeit much more expensive) than a coworker's neighbor sourcing from somewhere I didn't know.. Over that stretch I went from 195 lbs to 175 lbs, where I stalled at 15 mg weekly.

I've been a crossfitter since 2011 and running marathons and half-marathons since 2016. Over the years my ideal weight was 160, and I'd love to get closer to that again.

A medical procedure about 6 mo ths ago meant I had to stop taking the TZ for 3 weeks. After those 3 weeks I decided on a reset, so I went 8 weeks taking nothing and my weight climbed to 185.

I went back on TZ, but this time I reconstructed it myself and sourced it from a US distributor to keep costs down. Progress came, just slower than the first time around. Around then I learned of reta and switched over, hoping to get closer to my goal weight. Since I was at 7.5 TZ, I swapped in 4mg RT weekly from the same US supplier and have stayed there for 8 weeks. I'm back to 175.

The education and discussions this group provides are what I'm here for. It's such a great alternative to FB ads, reddit posts, chat on Telegram and WhatsApp with no real vetting.

It's great to see a community like this invested in education. I'm grateful to now be part of it.
