Individual variation in Reta side effects is wider than most people expect coming from a simpler GLP-1. Timing depends partly on dose and partly on receptor sensitivity, which doesn't correlate neatly with anything predictable. Some people feel nausea and fatigue within the first few hours after...

The hoarding instinct is real once you find something that works. Good luck with the first week.

Slow pace on GLP-1 often comes back to calories being too low rather than the medication not working. When appetite drops dramatically, it's easy to undershoot - and that's when muscle loss picks up and metabolism adapts downward. At 12 months and 58 lbs, the slow and steady pattern is working...

I stopped mixing with 25g needles. The self-healing stopper didn't always reseal and let air in/out when drawing or injecting air. Now I use 30g, it's slower but safer.

I take them every day. I think the 5 on, 2 off thing came from clinics being closed on weekends. Also, to manage water retention from growth hormone-related peptides. I don't see a reason to skip BPC days. And you could skip Tesa if you're worried about water retention, but I'm not (after a...

Haha, yes, sorry, 500mcg!

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! It's more than just weight loss; it's a complete mindset shift.

I'm taking those three, plus Ipamorelin right now. Started about a week ago. I'm also on 3mg of Reta, but splitting the dosage. I take 2mg of Tesa daily. Either that or the Ipamorelin was waking me up too much when I pinned before bed, though I know most people sleep better with those...

It's honestly hard to put into words how amazing this medication is. It feels like most people taking it only talk about the weight loss and physical changes, but I'm experiencing something even more profound. Since starting (about 4 months ago), beyond the incredible weight loss, my mental...

I totally get needing this med. I was seriously thinking about surgery last year, I'd just had enough. Always hungry, could only diet for 3 months max, lose about 40lbs and then gain it all back and often more. Now I'm down almost 100lbs and still losing. Just not being hungry all the time is...

Four weeks in, and I'm down about 9 lbs at 0.25. It’s happening naturally since I'm not as hungry, even though I'm working with a nutritionist and have medical support. I'm happy to stay at this dose as long as I keep losing. Constipation is definitely an issue, but it's improving with fiber...

Good luck!! Exciting times

I planned mine. Lost 55 lbs on tirz, stayed stable for 3 months, then stopped and waited 9 weeks before trying. Pregnant on cycle 3. For anyone reading this who is scared to come off: I did not regain everything. I focused hard on protein and lifting during the washout. Best decision I made...

Seriously! You look so much younger! Congrats!

Looking good! Keep it up 💪
