Looking for advice, under doctor's care but...
Hi I am new to the forum, reading a lot of posts trying to learn all the acronyms.....
5-7 and 330 lbs, literally 120 lbs overweight. Bodyfat percentage obviously way out of control.
No energy. I can diet and lose weight but it comes back. I worked out for 2 months 4 or 5 days each week but felt no better.
Got my test back says level is 81. 18 months ago it was 89, I started TRT under a doctor's care but didn't follow through. Too tired maybe, lol.
So I'm back and better equipped to move forward and stay committed. I know I will need to work out regularly, I know I will have to eat clean.
I have a few questions.
I just started at 200mg test/cyp every 3 weeks. That seems very low. Should I start feeling something soon? I haven't felt any benefits, it's only been 5 days tho. I need the energy to start working out, not the other way around. I have no energy to start or follow through. Am I being naive? Can I get some energy flowing to assist in working out? Is it a chicken/egg thing?
If I'm supposed to be at 500 or 600 and I'm at 81, is it as simple as addition or as I would think there's too many variables to say 600 - 81 = 519 so I should maintain that level to feel better. I see my doctor but he wants to retest after 3 months, push it up if necessary, retest after 3 months, etc. I really need to get moving.
Do I need to worry about estrogen levels due to my weight? My doctor didn't mention it. Honestly I'm considering heading to a Low T clinic. I just don't want to wait another year to feel better.
I have asked for all the results from my last bloodwork so that I can track it all myself.
Thanks for any advice you might have.
