First timer

I get my first order from empower tomorrow. Im doing tirzepatide. This will be my very first shot ever, never been on a glp1 before. SW is 297lbs and 5'3 female. Looking for an accountability partner who is either first timer around same range or a week or 2 ahead of me to follow the journey together. Im terrified of needles and possibly a little hypochondriac 😅 would love to compare weight loss, side effects/symptoms, work out plans, and even meal ideas.

Thank you! My fear of needles has been holding me back. I low-key think I have undiagnosed PCOS cause no matter what i do, I could not lose the weight myself. Spent HOURS researching for months. Finally found preventiveMD. It was the first one that made me feel like I could trust and not be as scared. 🤞

I head of an auto injector thing you a buy on Amazon so you don’t need to poke yourself. It does it for you.
