I'm HOT at 53! 🔥

Just finished month one, dropped 14 pounds with zero sides. Insurance will only cover one month at 2.5, so I'm upping to 5 tonight. Hoping the sides stay minimal if they show up at all.

53 and thriving. The photo shows what the mirror takes longer to see.

Getting better with age at 53 and noticing it is the arc the scale doesn't fully capture. The confidence shift - not needing the extra layer at Mexico heat - is the body-image part catching up.

Went from 328 down to 302, roughly 26 lbs over three months, averaging close to two pounds weekly. That's alongside lifting to near failure three times a week. Eating around 2270 calories daily with well over 200 grams of protein. Trying to hang onto as much strength as possible through this. Progress has eased up a bit lately, so I might trim calories further soon. Held reta at a smaller amount until just this past weekend, when I finally stepped it up. No rush on my end though. Took three decades to get to this point, so spending a year or two working back toward a healthy 225 feels perfectly reasonable to me.

Thank you! That particular marker came back at a moderate level, but that's after several months running a couple of growth-support compounds together plus a week of another one, with no earlier baseline for comparison. Planning to retest every few months to track changes. This drug class delivered genuinely, and now the focus has shifted to body recomposition, so the goal at this age is really just trimming a rounder midsection.

Appreciate the update. Solid progress so far! Running a similar setup myself, 4mg weekly of reta plus 3iu daily of hgh. 5'7, also started at 172. Got down to 138, then creatine pushed me back up to 142. Sitting around 11-12 percent body fat currently. Pretty close in age too, 51 here. Always good seeing other guys in their 50s actually taking their health seriously. Keep the updates coming.
