I decided i need more suspenders today.. im going through my old pics and realize the double ended suspenders just look sooooooo much nicer. I think im going to do the button type and convert all my pants.

@freemo How's your weight loss program going by the way?

@sergeant

Thanks for asking. The Semaglutide, especially now that im at max dose, has been extremely effective. I need to weigh myself since I got home but im somewhere in the ballpark of 50 lbs lost so far with relatively minimal effort.

@sergeant Well, hard to say....

So my expiernce was while on TRT it was hugely helpful.

The issue is there were some problems too, fairly minor. So i did a test, i stopped taking it for 2 days then did a test in the morning both before and after a dose (at this point ihad moved from injections to cream for like 1.5 months)... To my shock my levels of testosterone were through the roof, over the 2500 limit. So since then i cut out all testosterone and plan to retest in a few days.

One theory is my original low-T results was a false positive. I discovered recently that biotin supplements can interfere with testosterone tests giving false positive results. Since i was on a high dose of that at the time of my first tes tit may have been a false reuslt. I will retest soon.

Regardless i can say when on the testosterone i did objectively feel much better, my sleep improved (huge), as did my energy. Off of it I feel worse. That said I do want to try to hit a sweet spot assuming I need it still at all.

@freemo Well, once you've started TRT you don't come off unless you're planning on having kids.

Sweet spot for most men is somewhere between 800-1200 nanogram p/Dl.

If you feel much better on TRT, you should proceed.

Did you know that some clinics treat war veterans (PTSD) with TRT?
Those vets benefit a lot from it.
