Running Reta solo this round after a failed Tirz+Reta double-dose attempt last winter (jumped too fast and the GI hit was punishing). Stuck to lower Reta for 8 weeks before considering anything else - appetite suppression is more durable solo than I expected. Will likely layer Tirz back in at...

To make a better assessment, what are your macros? People think they're stalled because when they start, their TDEE is, say, 2750 calories and they eat 1750, losing 2 lbs a week. But as they lose weight, their TDEE drops to 2250, and they're still eating 1750. If you don't adjust your macros...

That's a pretty rapid initial loss, which isn't always sustainable. Sounds like a great start, and you're at a low dosage, so there's plenty of room to go higher and get things moving again. Good luck!

I've also seen people mention that they get really cold. Wonder if that's related to reduced calorie intake, or something else with how the drug works?

That's a cool idea, but it might raise questions at airport security. They often want medications in their original packaging.

Thanks for this, Zara56. I hadn't thought about electrolytes, but it makes sense. Maybe that's why I'm feeling so tired in the afternoons. I'll give the drops a try.

I'm 5'5", and my goal weight is 145lbs, lol. At 135, I looked amazing, but since I'm 42, I couldn't pull it off without looking gaunt. Midlife requires an extra 10 pounds to make up for collagen loss. Look at Stacey London; she is gorgeous but looks like skin on bones. After your surgery, you...

Oh man… fellow average responder here… appreciate this! I know my eating habits are improving, so I’m sticking with it… but man, I wish I saw some of those quick results!

Many individuals experience improved tolerance by the third month. Consider split doses. Administer half the dose on day one and the remaining half on day four. This approach can mitigate nausea and other adverse effects by providing a more consistent distribution of the medication throughout...

I've never tried it in my leg, always my belly.

I went from 220 to 155. I'm still ordering large-sized clothes, thinking they will fit, but they're always too big. I am not used to this! You look great!

I'm really hoping this helps reduce the size of my chest. I've heard that weight loss doesn't always affect breast size, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I used to have so much "food noise" in my head, constantly thinking about what I was going to eat next. Since starting, that's completely gone. Didn't realize how much of a problem it was until it disappeared.

Wow, just wow! So happy for you! You look happy in both photos, actually!

Try a protein shake to get you through until your normal eating time. Added protein is never a bad thing.
