Wait, do you mean the loss wasn't faster than normal, or that you'd stalled entirely and saw no movement at all? Both could technically apply, but saying "faster than normal" suggests you were still losing regardless.

Reta REALLY speeding up weight loss?

Done a decent amount of digging on this topic.
If reta's working well for you and you're keeping a strict deficit or fasting, the anecdotal consensus points to ghrh compounds, aod, and hgh giving the best combined results.
5-amino-1mq is more of a wildcard, not really marketed for weight loss specifically, but I've got some coming and I'm curious to dig into it. Expecting some loss, just not anything dramatic on the scale.

Losing over a pound weekly already puts this at a solid, sustainable rate. Going faster than that raises real risk around gallbladder trouble, hair loss, maybe loose skin too. Not clear what the rush is about honestly. This is one specific experience though, nobody else's really applies here.

Been on reta for a while now.
Started low and gradually stepped up over several weeks.
Started at a higher weight and currently sitting notably lower, so total loss over that stretch adds up to a solid chunk so far.

Yo-yoed with my weight my whole life. Even dropped 60 pounds naturally once, no medication involved. Kicked off the third compound in early June, and 27 pounds have come off in that stretch. What genuinely threw me was how noticeably my face has slimmed down.
Whenever I've dropped weight before, my facial features were always dead last to change, but this time around it happened first, which was a real surprise.
Curious whether that pattern's showing up for anyone else too.

Shed 10 lbs during that first stretch on Reta, mostly fluid. Averaged out to 2.16 lbs weekly across the full stretch. Total drop now sits at 29.8% of my starting body weight over 36 weeks, apparently outperforming the clinical trial numbers. Reta's honestly become my go-to.
