HR normalizing with Reta is a known effect - if baseline was athlete-low it should stay once adaptation settles. Sleep disruption is more variable; lighter sleep for the first month or two is common.

The minimum effective dose approach is underrated. Staying at 0.5 while still losing makes sense from both a side effect and cost perspective. The plateau is worth distinguishing from a real stall - one injection cycle where the scale doesn't move is different from three weeks of no movement...

Protein first at every meal and stopping when full covers most of it. One month in is still early - real results tend to show between weeks 6 and 12. Meal specifics vary enough that copying someone's exact diet matters less than those two habits.

I'm hoping to get to a normal BMI soon! I saw someone else post about it, and it's super motivating. Congrats to you too, that is awesome progress!

Started at 225.7 pounds, now I'm at 214.3 pounds after 2 weeks. That's around 11 pounds. It's slowing down now in my third month though.

I'm on the highest dose now, but it took a while to get here. Don't get discouraged if it takes some time to find the right level for you!

I've been on it for almost a year now!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! ❤️

Been on this journey since last fall. Started at 230, now I'm hovering around 150. So close to my goal!

I had a gastric sleeve back in '21. My SW was around 250, and my CW is 164. I still feel my large belly on my legs when sitting, even though it's not there. I still see the big belly in the mirror. It's weird how the mind works. It's real.

I'm not there yet, but I'm afraid of having dysmorphia. It's partly why I gained in the first place along with past trauma. It's funny seeing old pictures when I was a size 12. Back then I saw myself as I am now.

So many peps to try! I think I'm gonna start with Ipamorelin... I saw someone say it really helps with hunger and feeling better I know Ozempic can kill your appetite, maybe this is the opposite?

I agree with New_Gang2026. I want to try Epitalon in the future. I've heard good things, that it's really good for women. I love the KLOW right now, even though it can be intense. It's great for skin and body benefits. There's also talk on the SS-31, Mots-C, Nad+ which are meant to boost your...

This is so amazing! I've only lost like, 10 pounds, since starting. I'm on the lowest dose, should I ask my doctor to up it? I'm also trying to run 3 times a week now, alongside swimming.

Congrats! You look so happy and healthy!
