I agree with It's worth noting that constant hunger and 'food noise' can be a biological issue and not a personal failing. GLP-1s can really help quiet those signals so you can make better decisions.

It could be a placebo effect but I noticed it almost right away after injecting 1mg of Reta. Like, within a couple of hours. Even though it's such a low dose, I still get food cravings but they're WAY less intense. Plus, I get full much faster during meals. I did my first shot on Friday and...

Use goal weight and 1gm/lb. Some say more, some less. It's a range. If you're serious about hypertrophy, you need to take protein and nutrition seriously. I have a scoop with my coffee and another for "dessert."

Not the OP, but I'm on a low dose of Reta (1mg-1.5mg) and hitting my macros (1500 Calories & 150grams of protein) easily. I just started though, so who knows.

Is 1mg or 2mg of Reta too much to start? I thought that was a normal starting dose.

Looking great / congrats on the weight reduction

Make sure that you are drinking plenty of water and getting enough electrolytes, especially if you are experiencing those side effects. It can make a big difference.

Since you're 'restarting,' your past experience is probably the best indicator. But everyone reacts differently. For me, it was a few hours after my first 2.5mg of tirz.

Another tall woman! I also started around 190 lbs at 6 ft. I haven't lost a lot yet. My target is 170 lbs. I have a good amount of muscle mass.

Great progress! Congratulations.

I didn't notice water weight loss on the low doses, but also no fat weight loss until I was on a higher dose. I've switched to Monjaro and noticed a significant difference.

I get it. Check out some dedicated online forums. Some folks share independent testing to prove the quality from various sources. There are many workarounds to get GLP-1s.

You look amazing! You should be very proud of yourself!

Yeah, echoing what others have said, over 3lbs a week is FAST. And you kept titrating up aggressively which tanked your calories. Unless you were using other hormones, I'm not sure why you thought you'd keep muscle. There are different ways to approach this, but following the trial titration...

It often starts working better around 1mg...

That's why a lot of people explore other avenues. If you decide to go that route, do your research. There are online forums dedicated to GLP-1 medications where users share their experiences and findings. Some even do independent lab tests to verify quality. Just be careful.

Congrats!!! And, on a completely unrelated note, that pair of pants in the last photo are fabulous!

Congrats! 🎉

Down from 225 to 170, starting maintenance dosing this week.

I know that feeling! It's such a relief. I also find that I'm not craving junk food as much, which makes it easier to stick to a healthy diet.
