Curious....
I have been on an extremely slow weightloss journey. I got custody of my dad and the stress added to my already stressful life... I ended up 215# last May.
I started with watching stress and eating more, and was losing weight. I added Tirz in Feb and Reta in March, but it is still sllllllooooowwww. Currently 170 but lost 6 inches in my waist and 4 in my hips. Damn visceral fat hanging on for dear life!!
Pulled labs - my morning Cortisol was 4.5x higher than optimal and causing terrible sweating, heart palpitations, etc. My testosterone is 10. My progesterone (even though I supplement) was 12. And my Estrogen?? Came back near 7,000. Yes thousand. And the dr won't do more labs to confirm. I am going to just pull them myself next week.
I have lost 3 pounds this week just adding NOW Brand Cortisol Support, so I may be on the right track... but we also have graduation and other events coming up and I would like to be down another 20 pounds by early August.
Looking at Tesa/CJC No Dac and Ipamorelin stack (12mg) and starting at 10 units (0.10 mL) ( 200 mcg Tesa+ 100 mcg CJC + 100 mcg Ip) with 5 days on, 2 days off, or should I start lower?
Anything worth adding or doing differently? Currently up to 2mg Reta.
EDIT - Adding that I am not supposed to be elevating cortisol, so I am doing daily exercises focusing on muscles (TVA, bringing in diastasis recti, Glutes) plus medical grade whole body vibration. Aiming for around 120 g protein or more, but in general I don't like to eat. on Reta, I seem to need some carbs, and I lose more if I add more carbs. I am about 80% Carnivore. Labs are all fine as far as nutrition.
I want to slim down for the summer, and I've been looking into pept͏ides for weigh͏t loss that aren't glps. I'm narrowed it down to two different options right now: tesam͏orelin vs sermo͏relin, and I'd appreciate some input from you all who have more experience and knowledge with these things. Between tesamorelin and sermorelin, which one is better? Or would tesamorelin and sermorelin be worthwhile to take combined? I appreciate the help!
I was on Wegovy from September–January 2025 and lost 30 pounds. I got switched to Ozempic in mid-January, and since then I haven’t lost much weight maybe around 5 pounds, and it keeps fluctuating.
I’ve been seeing people post about peptides and how much they’ve helped improve things for them, and I wanted to hear some of your feedback because TikTok is usually full of promotions. My highest weight was 233, and I’m currently in the 190s (I’m 5’1”).
Ozempic doesn’t suppress my hunger the way Wegovy did, so I’ve been starving myself while still getting my miles in, but I’m not seeing much difference at all. I’m starting to feel a bit discouraged.
Hello
So I started a cycle of BPC-157 and Ipamorelin a week ago. 100 am and pm of Ipa, and 150 am and pm for BPC. Suddenly I am feeling some signs of pregnancy, lower back pain, etc. It is still 11 days until my period ish.
I had never thought it would be a risk, because me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for over a year without getting pregnant.
I have been pregnant before, but I lost it. This was before any use of peptides.
I wonder now, will the baby have any effects of my peptide use? Should I stop using, because of a thought that I MIGHT be pregnant? It will be at least 11 days until I can take a test and know for sure.
Another fact is that my man is not very fertile. Low sperm count. We have tried in the past, with no success.
Tapping the hive mind here for how to support weight loss research when high cortisol forces the body into fight or flight.
Currently stacking 1.5mg GLP-3 and AOD and weight loss has been modest at 10# most likely due to constant diarrhea. Calorie restriction is tight and workouts consistent despite reta's energy drain.
Am I fighting an uphill battle with cortisol that stubbornly clings to every calorie and makes workouts counteractive?
Looking at the Peptide Vault, would Cagrilintide + Semaglutide be a better option with its metabolic regulation?
AOD over 3 months
Reta approx 6 weeks
Labs are good (hormones, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc).
Hi!
I received my NAD and the instructions are to take 20mg daily 5 days/week.
I’ve been researching common protocols and it seems to vary wildly.
Is 100mg/week split like this a normal dosing regimen?
Hey ladies,
Interested what everyone is using to lean out for the summer. I could lose 5-10lbs but nothing more than that! Any advice?
