Congrats on your success! You look amazing! 120 is my target too. What's your diet look like in maintenance mode instead of weight loss mode? And does your current dose still help with cravings?

Same here! First 22 lbs are gone. I'm on 5mg, but I'm increasing to 7.5mg today because I don't feel like the 5 is doing much for me anymore. So, my fourth week of my second month I'm starting 7.5

It's so encouraging seeing petite ladies like myself having such success! I'm 4'11", started around 168 and now I'm at 140 after ten weeks. You're killing it!

I've been researching Reta for ages. Some people start super low, like .25mg a week, while others jump right to 2mg. Seems like everyone's got a different idea of what's best. I'm always torn between what the clinical trials say and what actual users are doing. Who do you trust more?

I watched that John Oliver piece. He did a segment once on an industry I'm familiar with, and while he pointed out the problems, it wasn't a fair representation. These issues are complex to reduce to a short comedy bit.

What's going on with production of raw powders in China? I wouldn't anticipate any supply issues to last long. There's just too much money involved, with high demand worldwide.

Yeah, I stopped losing after about 3 months too. My doc is switching me to something else. Fingers crossed!

I'm totally planning to be on this medication for life! My starting weight was around 300 lbs, and my type 2 diabetes was totally out of control. Now, less than a year later, I'm at 155 lbs and no longer diabetic! I've made so many lifestyle changes. If my insurance ever stops covering it, I'll...
