Kia ora from a newcomer

Kia ora

I'm a woman past menopause. Over 8 weeks on Tirzepatide, which was prescribed to me by a doctor, I've dropped 8kg — that's 10% of my body weight. Before I began the Tirz, I'd been doing weight training for 6 months, and that appears to have benefited my body composition alongside the fat loss. My weekly dose has remained at 3mg, and it's proving very effective for me.

3mg? You're fortunate!

Yeah, I get that — but honestly the effect feels a bit overpowering in my case, and the weight has come off faster and in greater amounts than I expected. Fatigue has hit me pretty hard as a side effect, and on certain days eating basically becomes a full-time task just so my calorie intake stays high enough. I keep thinking Reta could suit me better.

Kia ora Mikky - kiwis here too, up north. My wife has just begun Tirz, while I'm using Reta. Can't wait to see how things go
