A brief introduction about how I ended up here:
A few years ago, I decided it was time to quit smoking & vaping.
While that was a positive change, it also led to me eating more.
Not long after, I was prescribed beta blockers, and that's when my weight gain journey really began.
Despite working out consistently 3-5x a week, losing weight has remained very difficult due to the beta blockers and the constant food noise. (and children stocking up the candy cupboard
)
After doing a lot of research online, I came across information about reta and tirz, and it seemed like one of them might be worth trying.
Since I didn't feel heard by my doctor after the request to start something like tirz, I decided to take my own path.
At the end of the day, my health is something I believe I should take responsibility for and manage as best as I can..
Since I was put on beta blockers due to some issues with pvc's and such, I might be better off to take the tirz path instead of reta after reading a lot.
I wonder how the experiences are here with people on similar meds, or a similar situation!
Anyway, this is me now, trying to get from 215lbs to at least 170, that would be the goal.
