And yep, I literally searched Google for synonyms of noob. Zero shame about being lame. Lol!

Are names something we share on here? I'm worried I'll mess up and violate a rule.

32/F here. My handle comes from my beloved dog, who passed away suddenly last year (a heart issue). Amos was a Bullmastiff, and honestly just a really cool dog.

Peptides are brand new to me. I've spent 6 weeks 'researching' with grey market Tirz. Down 13lbs. Before stumbling onto a reddit page, I'd never even heard the word peptides...I went directly to grey since white is for goodie2shoes with deeper pockets than mine. (Joking to the Rule Followers who get worked up over that last line!)

Anyway. Government overreach drives me nuts. If I choose to gamble with my own life, that's my call. I pay out of pocket. So, grey it is.

Not sure what else to add. I've got a pig and a donkey. They're pretty cool.

Oh right, I suppose I have a stack. I've got hEDS and I'm a washed-up collegiate athlete, so I'm hoping to heal some old overuse and recurring soft tissue injuries.

What I'm running now:

Tirz 5mg/week

Bpc-157 500mg /day

TB-500 250mg /EOD

ghk-cu /1mg day

Lipo-C 2x/week

A fun fact that reveals what type of 'adult' I am:

Last summer I broke my arm in 3 places diving for 2nd base during the second to last game of the season on my adult coed city-league softball team, and I went on to play the final two innings as catcher with no mitt and a floppy but stiff left arm, because I had no idea I'd actually hurt myself badly. I figured it was just hyperextended. I was the top female player on the team, and we ended up forfeiting the end of season tournament since I couldn't play. It really sucked.

As a kid, I'd roll my eyes at crying over pain, but I'd sob over hurt feelings.

Great to meet everyone!

Welcome aboard! I'm also doing my "research" on tirz. What's your take on how it's going so far? After another 7 days, I'll be moving up to 5mg.

Hi 🙂 Tirz has clearly agreed with me, which has left me quite happy. I followed the standard 2.5mg for 4 weeks, then began experimenting with dosing twice a week to try removing the spike in 'food noise' that showed up roughly 3 days after every dose. Over the past 2 weeks I've changed things up, hoping to judge how I respond, though it's still too soon to tell. For instance: in week 5, rather than a single 5mg dose, I divided it into 3mg/2mg. In week 6, I attempted a split of 4mg/1mg. My shots go Monday/Thursday AM, within a few hours either way. So today, Thursday, at 1AM, I took just the 1mg portion of my week 6 dose.

I'm considering moving to 5ml this coming Monday for week 7 and watching what happens with the food noise. Should the noise be intense, I'll return to splitting doses.

On Feb. 16th I began at 207 (the heaviest I've been outside pregnancy). 6 weeks in, I'm down 13lbs.

My eating has been the best it's been in years, and I'm very intentional about what I choose to eat, plus I no longer snack. I used to eat emotionally and chase treats for dopamine hits. Tirz has helped enormously in clearing my head and choosing better when hunger does come. Previously, hunger never let up. These days I'm portioning salmon, rice and brusselssprouts 4x/week, and chicken/beef the rest.

Overall it's been wonderful. Diarrhea and sulfur burps are the only bad effects I've had. A simple trade for having control over what I eat. There's so much more space in my mind now!

That's awesome for you! A few years ago I tried sema and it was a terrible time for me. With tirz, my experience has been completely different. The only side effect I seem to get is some mild nausea once in a while. I've also been drinking much more water, and my eating patterns are improving. Fingers crossed that when I increase to 5, I won't run into any bad reactions either.
