Fat loss
I just have to say, "wow". Reta is truly an incredible compound. Retatrutide is how I got started in the research space. With no prior experience with peptides or GLPs, I asked my best friend from childhood what he's been doing to get into shape so quickly. "Retatrutide and Tesamorlin" He explained what it was and what he was using it for and I was interested. I talked to my girlfriend, who previously was looking into name brand options of tirzepatide, but the cost was too much through conventional methods, and we both agree to get a couple of 10mg vials of reta and try it out. We paid $99 for each vial from an overpriced vendor because we didn't know any better but we were on our way. In retrospect, we started at a pretty high dose, with unconventional frequency. 1mg, 3x a week, MWF. Traditionally I've seen researchers start at .5mg, once or twice a week but splitting or 3mg weekly dose into 1mg doses has been great at mitigating any intense peaks of appetite suppression or nausea. For the past 6 weeks: No negative side effects. No upping the dose. No change in administration timing. We're both down 25+ lbs. We feel fantastic. We have to buy new clothes because the old ones don't fit. Still steady losing weight. As of today, 252lbs --> 225lbs I prioritize my diet, cardio, weight training, fiber, 3-4L of water (I rarely crave diet soda anymore), sleep/recovery. I have GAINED strength on heavy compound lifts in the gym during this weight loss. The best advice is can give to anyone that is reta curious is: Reta is a tool, not the standalone solution. A lifestyle change in diet, exercise, nutrition are all necessary to get optimal results. I can't remember the last time I felt this good This is why RETA is the top dawg 🐶
<p>Last reta dose for the week. 1.33mg. I'm seeing weight loss progress akin to when I first started on reta. I was 221lbs on Saturday, and 215lbs today. That's 6lbs down in a week. I'm eating all my meals, sticking to the diet plan, so it's not from just not eating. I'm weighing in every morning, s…
<p>216lbs today! Since January of 2025, my net weight loss is 64lbs. Since starting reta, 34lbs. The weight is flying off once again. </p><p>I'm actually starting to get concerned at the prospect of loose skin. I think I'm going to add some GHK-cu to my protocol to see if it helps with some skin ela…
<p>My highest weight was 280lbs at the end of 2024/start of 2025. I started tracking my weight daily in January '25, and I was at 265lbs.</p><p>Today, I weighed in at 217.4lbs and I'm stronger than ever. I can't remember the last time I've been in the 2-teens. Reta is awesome.</p>
<p>Stall? What stall? The fat has been melting off. 218.2lbs this morning. Very noticeable physical changes. Strength is still there. My concern has always been losing muscle in the pursuit of losing fat. My focus has been on muscle preservation, and when my strength and lifts in the gym are steady …
<p>Under 220lbs. Just weighed in at 219. 220 was the adjustment goal weight after I reached my first milestone. Gotta make another goal. </p>
<p>220lbs this morning - scale continues to move after the mini stall</p><p>Took my last dose of the week a moment ago, 4mg total for the week.</p><p>Consistency, baby. That's the lesson out of this.</p>
<p>I cannot remember the last time I was under 220lbs. I'm so close. </p><p>Busted through a little plateau by just staying consistent and was reminded that a real plateau is 3-4 weeks, not 10 days. </p><p>Dosed 1.33mg yesterday; this brings my weekly total up to 4mg. Appetite suppression has been g…
<p>Yesterday, I reconstituted my new batch of Reta from Zenith Bioscience. My previous stock was from my very first peptide order and I'm excited to be dosing from a trusted vendor now.</p><p>I got a half kit of Reta 30. The vials are a little overfilled, but I love that ZB labels the net content on…
<p>This is the last bit of Reta I have from my very first peptide order. Ordered from an overpriced RUO company with no way to easily verify COAs. I'll give myself some grace because, at the time, I didn't know about COAs and testing and where this stuff came from. By the grace of God, the reta work…
<p>We finally broke through the mini stall! </p><p>Productive couple of days with work, driving around in LA traffic. Stayed on plan!</p>
<p>I've been hovering at 223lbs for 4 consecutive days. In my experience, this type of temporary stall will come to an end by dropping 2-3lbs one morning. I know I'm consistently in a deficit, my water intake is on point, I'm lifting weights and doing cardio. The number that we're looking at doesn't…
<h3>My Diet Plan</h3><p>I mentioned in my last entry that I would post my diet plan here. Maybe someone out there will find this helpful. Reta makes it easy to stay in a calorie deficit and stay on target but the real trick is getting enough food in to lose minimal muscle mass and mitigate any of th…
<p>I wanted to make a note for anyone following this thread now or in the future that there comes a point where the appetite suppression isn't as strong as it was in the first few weeks but it remains manageable. </p><p></p><p>The difference is that I eat when I'm suppose to, not just when I'm hungr…
<p>I've made some questionable diet choices this past week. We got back from vacation last Wednesday and didn't go shopping til yesterday so been just winging meals instead my normal meal plan and the scale keeps moving despite that. This is a record low for me since I can remember. Dosed 1.2mg this…
<p>I wanted to add a screenshot of my weekly avg weight since starting. Pretty insane. </p>
<p>Almost 30lbs down!!</p>
<p>4 lbs away from goal weight. Gonna have to move the goal post back a bit. </p>
<p>Scale says I gained a pound on my trip but my diet, water intake and workouts were way off. I know that weight fluctuates so not too concerned about it. Back to the routine</p>
<p>On the cusp of week 8 on reta, and food noise is coming back a little bit. Appetite suppression isn't as strong as it was the first few weeks. We've reached a bit of a stasis, which is fine. We're going to stay on the same program: diet, lift heavy, cardio, track macros. Upping the dose by .5 a w…
