Well written, Marty. As neighbors, I’ve watched you melt before my eyes. With you as inspiration, I began my Mounjaro/Zepbound/Tirzipetide journey. I was 66/6’-2”/258. After 9 months, im down to 208-a loss of 50 pounds. My old closets hang baggy on me and I’m thrilled to buy new ones. I can’t use any of my old belts. I walk the golf course and have more energy. I started using off brand Tirzepitde at $280/ month instead of $1,100. I had an exchange with them yesterday asking about how much notice might the FDA give before rescinding the exception allowing compounding pharmacies to produce and sell it since Eli Lilly can’t meet demand. They responded “a few eeeks”. They are concerned about a cease and desist order. They did say that the medicine will stay good for up to 12 months in the fridge. I’m going to buy 9 months supply. The pharmacy I’m using is called Slimdownrx. I’ve done two injections at 15ml and don’t notice any difference. I love saving the $800 a month. Oh, Marty! You must buy some new 34/32 Levi’s-the size you last wore in 1975!

Thanks for your wonderful post which perfectly balances the scientific, social, economic, and personal dimensions of our classic first world problem.
I was so inspired by your journey when we discussed it last year that I recently jumped on the bandwagon!
I’m starting on this same journey myself. Thank you for the well documented trailblazing.
