The 0.25 to 0.5 step is where sema GI tolerance gets tested hardest - 8 weeks at 0.25 before stepping up usually flattens the severity curve.

Skin consult at 26 after that drop is ideal - healing advantage is real at that age.

No results at the starting dose in the first 4-8 weeks is common - receptor sensitivity varies and most people don't see meaningful suppression until 0.5mg or higher.

Did you ever use one of those GLP-1 meds like Ozempic?

Forgot to add on dosing, I'm switching from another GLP to Reta, I've moved up on Reta fairly fast. 1-2.5mg doses, checking my metrics, and figuring out if I need to increase. If I knew what I know now starting from scratch, I'd start with 1mg, go half a week and see how I respond.

I try to space injection sites at least an inch apart, preferably 2. Avoid hairs, scars, stretch marks, or other "different" spots. I try to inject same-day stuff in different areas so I can track reactions easier. I haven't had any so the method is weak. I split doses, and I've written a lot...

I don't think timing matters. Yesterday morning I pinned .5mg BPC, 2mg Reta, and 40mg Test, no problem. I wouldn't pin two shots in the same place at the same time. Seems like a stupid question.

Hey LeanStrong, that's so real! It really does feel different, like a huge psychological barrier is broken.

Way to go! You look fantastic!

Saw this and had to share. Amazing work from someone else, keep it up!

You look fantastic! Your hair is shiny and looks healthy!! Enjoy it! ❤️❤️

I can relate to the under-the-bed struggle! I remember when I couldn't even reach something under there, let alone fit myself. It's the little things! Congrats!

Great progress in just 7-8 months. Any bad reactions?

I started at .25mg myself. How long until people saw changes?

We have similar stories. I started sema around April. SW140 CW131 GW110. Thought 110 was a big dream, but 101 is incredible. How many calories are you eating per day? I'm around 1200. And what's your exercise like? I exercise almost every day but maybe do too much cardio. My current dose is .75...

Awesome job. Some folks don't realize how much tougher it is for us shorties. I'm 5'1" and weighed 120 pounds when I was 12 and wasn't even close to chunky. Our body composition is just different. I'm aiming to get down to 130 pounds because that's where I feel my best. SW 174.5 CW 149.8, so...

Nice work, keep it up!

Awesome news! Congrats! Hopefully I'll be joining you soon. I'm still about 25 lbs away from that 300 mark.

My trainer wouldn't take any tips. I wouldn't tip a trainer every time. But I'd give a holiday bonus.
