Reta - Week 2 thoughts?

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking about 145mg of TRT per week and 2 IU of HGH before bed. I'll get my blood work done and see. Thanks again!
 
Doubled my dose today, injected almost 3mg of Reta. Felt some mild side effects before bed, but nothing now. Starting to wonder if it's even real, even though I've dropped a few pounds (6'1", 175lbs). I know body fat won't really drop until around week 12.
 
I saw this article of a woman who lost like 125lbs in a year or so. She went from size 26 to a size 16! It's amazing what these meds can do with some dedication. She wasn't just sitting around eating bonbons!
 
Someone posted in another thread about losing nearly 100lbs in a year. It's inspiring! He asked for tips and tricks, and honestly, consistency is key. Just keep at it!
 
I saw someone mention that they stalled for 2 weeks, and what helped them, was rotating their injection sites around their belly button. Might be worth a try!
 
Moving your Tuesday dose to Friday should be fine since some people take weekly dosing as one shot anyway. You're not really skipping a dose, just timing it different.
 
The day-4-to-5 appetite return is the Reta half-life floor showing - the suppression dips before the next shot restores it.
 
Week 2 on Reta being milder than expected is standard - the strong appetite suppression usually builds between weeks 2-4 rather than hitting on the first dose. The water weight early is the glycogen drawdown and part of why the scale moves faster at the start than the actual fat loss justifies. Most people hit a clearer appetite signal around dose 3-4.
 
Catecholamine support alongside GLP-1 tracks for depression and ADD - the GIP receptor has mood-adjacent effects that potentiate whatever you're stacking with. Week 2 appetite being mild is the typical lag before steady state.
 
That rate is aggressive even with Reta - weekly losses that high require a significant calorie deficit and are harder to sustain than going slower. For a five-kilo goal with five or six weeks of dosing, a more moderate pace is likely to hold better and not require the kind of deficit that creates fatigue.
 
Week 2 appetite suppression being weaker than expected is normal - Reta builds over the first 4-6 weeks. The 1.5mg hold until week 5 is sensible. Shoulder training while in a deficit works fine; body recomposition is actually easier early in Reta use when the appetite signal is clearing.
 
Week 2 at 0.5mg is still very early - most people don't feel the real appetite effect until a bit higher. On stopping, tapering makes more sense than cold turkey from a hunger management standpoint. Most people step down gradually over a few weeks rather than just stopping.
 
On Reta I started seeing meaningful scale movement at 2mg - the first doses at 1mg gave some water weight but the fat loss signal came later. Tirz for most people kicks in more consistently earlier in the titration. On stacking: the two mechanisms complement rather than overlap so you're not just adding more of the same thing.
