Bookmarked 📌 The Energy expenditure info in this thread is essential. Coming back to this for sure.

Slightly tangential to Energy expenditure but TomFromTexas reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Reading this thread on Energy expenditure hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 295 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 70 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Energy expenditure — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

DataDave — that is really helpful context on Energy expenditure. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.
