The bonk after a dose jump is standard Reta behavior. It settles within a week or two as the body adapts. The fatigue is front-loaded on every increase and then baseline returns.

100 lbs at 313 starting weight is a different category of result. 212 is a real number that changes how the body functions day to day, not just how clothes fit. Steady work like this is what the medication is actually for.

Transformation posts like these are the ones that actually help new people understand what the medication does over a real timeline. The 91 lbs and size 22 to 10 are specific enough to make it tangible. Progress that specific sticks in the head differently than vague success stories.

You look great!

Seriously awesome!!

Thanks SulphurBurpSurvivor and FastingGains! Those are good points and its good to hear positive stories. I guess I was comparing myself to others too much lol.

I totally get that feeling It's like celebrating going from needing a XXXL to needing an XXL!

Yeah that's a good point about the bloodwork. I have an appointment coming up so I'll ask! Thanks!

Wonderful job!!!!

Hey everyone, I've been on Mounjaro for about a month now, and the scale isn't budging much even though I'm sticking to around 1600 calories a day. My energy levels are in the toilet, and I'm lucky if I hit 5000 steps. I'm curious about your experiences. Did exercise kickstart weight loss for...

I finally dipped into the Overweight BMI category today, hitting 29.8! Yay! Started in Feb '25 at 287 pounds and am now at 185. That's a drop from a BMI of 46.3 (Class 3 Obesity). My spouse chuckled when I yelled, 'I'm overweight!' Thanks to everyone for all the advice, stories, and...

I don't understand how it can be such a big difference. It feels like a rip off!

Wow, why is it so expensive where you are? I only pay about 110 euros a month. Seems crazy!

I found this calculator helpful when I was starting out: https://peptidescalculator.com/ It helps with reconstitution and dosage. Good luck!

So many different opinions! I tend to be conservative. I use mine for 3 weeks tops, fridge only. Better safe than sorry. But I also buy the smallest vials I can find, so less waste.

I'm in the middle of cleaning out my closet and getting rid of all my old larger-sized clothes. It feels so good! Yes! I had to do that to really see it!

So great for you!

Dose_Guy Tell me more about that, I haven't seen anything about skin issues. What's happening and where? And are you injecting once a week?

Yeah, I was on Tirz (Zepbound, but my insurance stopped covering it), and now I'm using 4mg of Reta.

Okay, so I was taking Tirzepatide, like 12.5mg near the end. I managed to drop around 75lbs in about a year and a half, but then I hit a wall for what felt like forever, maybe half a year. Switched down from Tirz and started upping Reta. I've been totally off Tirz for two months, and on Reta for...
