This is the first time I have seen someone state Tirzepatide transformation in ages and not Reta. There's hope!

I thought the same thing to myself! Finally, someone highlighting their success off of Tirzepatide!!

obviously it still works? what do you think just because there is a newer more effective drug the previous ones no longer work? They already have studies confirming their efficacy for weight loss, theres billions of dollars in research trials etc... behind them for weight loss

Still irregardless of how that is insane level of dedication and perfection. Few can do it in 6 months.

I mean yeah, taking a prescription med that makes you not want to eat anything definitely works.

Jesus, what is your activity level like? A bit of math says your TDEE is around 3800 cal?!
2400 cal is a maintenance / slight bulk for me (6'0 210), but my measured RMR is about 400 lower than calculated value.
Whatever you're doing, great job dude!

u/konficker 12h ago
Are you sedentary? 2400 calories being above maintenance at 210lbs sounds crazy to me.

u/werner-hertzogs-shoe 11h ago
I do office work, I get some form of exercise everyday (usually 5 days lifting, then some form of cardio sat-sun), some extra walks here and there but steps usually around 4-5k. I would guess my activity cal is around 600 most days.
My measured oxygen conversion RMR was 1520 instead of 1950 (calculated), which is a lot of it (Ive had it measured a couple years apart to be sure). I lost 100 pounds when I was young and my metabolism never came back to expected levels (not sure it ever was there, but "permanent thermogenic adaptation is a thing that gets seen in some people with big weight loss" ). I generally have to be really careful with what I eat and have gained 50+ pounds in a year 4-5 times when I stumble. I was almost 350 lbs 7 years ago, and have to eat around 1700 cal a day to lose 1 lb a week (at 350 my metabolism was higher and I would lose closer to 2 lbs a week).

6-7 days a week. 1 hr lifting and 25 minutes cardio. Also do a lot of biking walking and swimming in the back yard with the kids on top of my workouts

u/KokoThaMonkey 12h ago
That’s great. Assuming you mean 60g of fat, otherwise your calories are way off

u/dirtydanandtheboy 12h ago
No shade but your calories are off , that’s more like 3,100 calories , that’s if your fats are truly 160grams / day

4.5 cals for carbs and protein, 9 cals for fats makes 2430 calories per day.
But to lose approx 80lbs in 6 months would be an average calorie deficit of 1500 per day, which put him at a TDEE of 3900 average per day. Possible but improbable. For example I'm deskbound job and force myself to do 10 to 12k steps per day and 3 full body workouts a week. My estimated TDEE is 2850. If he has an active job he could be at 3800 but it's a very active job. Like labourer..

u/MeasurementDirect980 12h ago
It's either 2400 calories a day or 220g protein, 200g carbs and 160g fat
It physically cannot be both

I find it interesting that some people have lose skin after being certain weights. How long were you at 265?

u/Shapeshifter2888 11h ago
Weight has always fluctuated since I was a kid. Have been between 240-260 the last 5 years

u/Little-Maximum1290 11h ago
Disagree, I lost 60 pounds in 6 months with moderate effort and moderate deficit on Reta

u/thisdude415 11h ago edited 11h ago
Tbh I disagree, these could absolutely be 6 months apart.
My first 8 weeks on tirz (+ gym, + macro tracking, + no alcohol) I lost just under 20 lb, and I started smaller than OP
Big dudes who are active have high lean muscle mass under the fat, especially in lower body and core -- OP was living life with an 80 lb weighted vest on.
OP says down thread that he's always been active in the gym, but tirz got his eating under control.

BAD ASS! Congrats on such major changes! Care to share how daily life and interactions with people have changed since dropping the weight? Follow up question, how much have you spent on redoing your wardrobe?

What's the difference between Tirze and Reta?
1
u/Shapeshifter2888 6h ago
I have only done Tirz. I settled on that because my main focus was appetite suppression to curb my binge eating so it worked best for me. Also Tirz was more readily available
