Near goal with the blood sugar and weight both moving is the compound win.

Plateaus on Reta after consistent early loss often mean the dose has matched your metabolic rate - escalating dose or adjusting diet structure are the usual first moves.

That energy spike is no joke from what I have read. Sleep disruption on that one seems common. Starting small to test tolerance first makes a lot of sense.

I'm curious, Sage, did you have to change up your exercise routine or anything to see those results?

Hey Sage what dosage are you taking? Thanks!

It's such a nice feeling when clothes start fitting better, isn't it? I'm down about 20 pounds and even my work scrubs feel looser.

Just thought I'd mention that my wedding ring fits again!

You're are glowing. Congrats!

You look great! But seriously, who are you stanning?

That's great, Bee_Strong! It's cool how quickly some people notice a difference. For me, it was more gradual, but definitely a game changer. Keep us updated on your progress!

That's awesome, That is fantastic and I really appreciate your sharing this experience and perspective.

Thanks Goals. I'm not upset, I like normal hunger cues, just not the overeating or junk food desires. It's a tool to teach people how moderate eating feels, so maybe they can eventually stop taking it. But like you said, everybody's different.

That's what I figured, based on the trials. If hunger beat the medication, weight loss wouldn't be so good. Thanks!

Been on retatrutide about a third of a year now. Started at 1 mg each week and upped it to 10 mg these last 4 weeks. Lost weight at first, but I've been trying to build muscle again (like back when I was 20 years younger) so I'm lifting heavy and maybe recomping, who knows. Doesn't matter. But...

A bit of both for me. I have more energy in the morning and can run longer without stopping. But I get tired in the late afternoon. So, my energy levels are higher earlier in the day than before.
