Hello everyone, happy to join this space. Tirz has worked well for me so far—I've dropped close to 50 lbs, with perhaps another 25 left to lose. I'm also curious about other peptides, maybe IPA? Eager to pick up more knowledge here. Thank you for bearing with me as I get up to speed.

Mounjaro has worked well for me too — 7 months in and I hit my target. Around week 20 I added ipa, which stopped me from losing muscle mass. Right now I'm pinning an IPA+CJC1295 NO DAC blend, and it's noticeably better. I'd suggest both. Solid choice 👌

Nice work on the weight you've dropped — that's really impressive. Someone suggested the exact same stack you listed above, IPA + CJC1295 NO DAC, and I plan to give it a shot. Apart from Tirz (which is already compounded in my case), this would be my very first peptide, and I want to learn everything involved before starting. Appreciate the input. I'm unsure whether I ought to hold off until I'm close to maintenance. Between lifting, Pilates Reformer and intense trail riding, I'm holding onto muscle, yet the visceral fat around my midsection is giving me the hardest time.
 
welcome brother 💪🏻 dropping close to 50 lbs is genuinely strong progress at this point. if tirz is treating you well, there’s really no need to hurry into switching things up, but if you’re curious about peptides outside of weight loss, ipamorelin tends to get used by many for sleep/recovery/GH support instead of fat loss directly. just go slow with your research since past GLP-1s the peptide world turns confusing quickly with conflicting info all over

I'm planning to begin cjc+ipa too, because I've read it helps preserve muscle mass while using reta.

What was your starting dose, and at what point did you begin raising it?

My starting dose was 350 mcg/daily, and I haven't gone up from that. For the Ipa5+CJC5 mix, I reconstituted with 3ml BAC water and inject 4 units twice daily. I'm using a pen. I'd already been injecting Ipa for 8 weeks before this. After I added CJC, I noticed a change within 2 days: I'm more active during the day and sleep better at night.

Hi, 2 months on Reta has taken around 26 lbs off me.
Two months and you've already pulled that off? That's seriously impressive. You're crushing it!
Once the hunger switch flipped off, the buffet switch flipped off too 😅
 
Solid discussion. Mechanistically, pairing IPA with CJC to protect muscle while running GLP protocols holds up well. Research has thoroughly characterized the GH pulse this combo produces, and the visceral fat angle stands out because GH secretagogues have demonstrated targeted effects on abdominal adipose tissue across several studies.

horsegirl, if you are already strength training and doing Pilates, then based on what the research community here talks about, the timing relative to your workouts tends to be a major factor with that stack. It is worth researching before you begin.

And mhtechno, honestly, that is the most precise way anyone here has described appetite suppression.

My take is that they aren't necessary when someone trains hard enough, eats sufficient protein, and keeps muscle mass intact. The reason is that using GH brings hunger signals back, and the body ends up caught in the middle. At that stage you'd be adjusting your tirz dose, experimenting with reta, cng, and so on. Visceral fat just needs time — eventually it will give way. I'm 58, run a transportation company, and spend the whole day behind the wheel of a truck myself. My activity level isn't high enough to hold onto muscle. So for me, age and lifestyle are what justify using them.
