20mg Reta in active use confirms the ceiling is flexible - for women the range typically tops out earlier, so hunger creeping at week's end at 1.5mg usually points to a bump to 2mg.

Weight training alongside GLP-1s is the single best intervention for protecting the muscle-to-fat loss ratio - the medication removes the calorie ceiling, resistance training provides the stimulus to preserve the lean mass.

The first week being water-heavy is the norm, especially with the low-carb switch. The actual fat loss rate shows in weeks 3-6 once glycogen levels settle.

placed 5 orders since last fall. 3 arrived, 2 still in transit. average time to kansas is 11 days. 4 were from my original vendor, tried a new one on the last one for a good price. trust the original so if the new vendor's sketchy I'll just stick with what works.

my friend was in a phase 2 study. had type 2, dropped 60 lbs, blood sugar normalized. they cut her off when the study ended a year ago but she kept it all off somehow. gonna ask her how she's managing now.

switched to zepbound after hitting a plateau on the max dose of ozempic for 3 months and even put some pounds back on. needed something stronger.

Yeah, Tired_of_Tired, definitely file a BBB complaint and post on social media. Companies often respond when you make it public. I had a problem with another service once, and I only got my money back after posting on social media and the BBB.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Tired_of_Tired! Heads up to everyone: let's keep the discussion focused on approved meds and avoid any talk about buying/selling privately. If someone DMs you offering something, ignore it!

this is what keeps me going. been at goal since '22 and the weight just stays. never in my 61 years could i do that. used to regain weight the second i stopped dieting. these meds? they're nonnegotiable. i'm on them til i die.

I had the opposite problem recently. I was totally bunged up because of these meds. I took something to get things moving, and BAM, firehose! I'll never do that again! Be careful, people!

It happened to me during my second week of tirzepatide, and then again in my second week of retatrutide. Just once each time, though. I'm gonna try to stick it out for another week and see if it goes away.

Whoa. I wasn't prepared for that! You absolutely crushed it! 🎉💪

Fantastic! So happy for you, you look incredible. What's been the hardest part of your journey?

Anyone get the flushing? Or a faster heart rate and head swelling?

Oh yes! Greasy foods are a no-go for me now. I have to be careful about portion sizes too. Even if it's healthy food, eating too much at once makes me feel sick.
