Here's my own case. I'm on tirz. I lost over 20 lbs during my first 4 weeks, then almost nothing across the final month before goal, at pretty different doses. For about 50 weeks now I've been on 15mg weekly and my weight matches last year. It works, I'm not creeping back up like on every other...

I'm just saying ret-a-true-tide, period. Doesnt matter to me how big pharma says it. Once it gets approved and the ads roll out with some other pronunciation, still not caring.

I'm 49f, 5ft 2, started O in August 2023. T2D, and I was 243, pretty heavy. Now I'm 153, so about 90 lbs gone. My diabetes is under control and I'm really happy with it.

Checking back in on this one, did stepping back down help at all? Curious because I haven't heard many people mention eczema specifically with reta before, usually it's the GI stuff that gets all the attention.

Same for me with edibles. The hunger and food noise coming back is a bummer, since the edibles are what settle my nausea from ozempic.

That's a great result for two months. I started right around the same weight as you. After a full year I'm sitting quite a bit lower, lowest I've been as an adult, and I'm over fifty. Aiming for a bit further still. Never dealt with major health issues beyond some back pain and reflux, but just...

Survived breast cancer, and my oncologist actually recommended this medication class to me. Followed through and I'm 70 pounds lighter now! He's fully on board with it and says it lowers overall mortality risk. He also happens to lead cancer research for our region. Was nervous going in, but...

Not once you get into bigger vials where your draw amounts grow too. Most people need a reconstitution calculator at that scale. For example, I run 8 mg drawing 43 units. Working with a 50mg vial that fills to 56mg. I mix in 3ml of diluent and pull 43 units to land exactly on 8mg. I've got the...

This is exactly me. The hunger before GLP-1 was relentless and I don't want to go back to that. Even when I think about coming off, I remember what that constant noise was like. It wasn't just willpower - it was a physiological thing that was exhausting to fight every single day.

Finding a reliable source before stacking anything is exactly the right instinct. The tirz foundation is solid and knowing you want to add reta before making the jump is better than doing it impulsively. What's the main thing you're hoping reta adds?

The MOTS timing question depends on what you're doing. Non-workout days fine while it bothers you right before moving fits the pattern people report with higher intensity. What kind of movement triggers it specifically?

40DD to 36DD is the NSV that catches people off guard - the body recomposing in ways the scale doesn't show is part of the transformation that photos from years ago suddenly make visible.

40 down and feeling it - that combination is the actual goal.

symptoms started gradual over 6 months in my knee and foot, went on dmards, then qualified for biologics - simponi. not a single flare or swelling in almost 15 years. competed in triathlons and time trials while working as a fire behavior instructor. no side effects. wondering if i could maybe...

Didn't expect this but docs can be weird. Told mine one thing wasn't working and heard low-dose something could help with prostate stuff but got nowhere. Asked my pharmacy what insurance would actually cover - price was insane. Cuban's CostPlus works in the US but india beats even that.

The mental transformation alongside the physical is what the photo comparison captures best.

Seems like 7.5 is a common stall point. I've been here 8 weeks, last three with zero loss, and honestly I'm dealing with real hunger pains now instead of suppressed appetite. Three more weeks at 7.5 then bumping to 10mg. Lost 47 pounds since October 19—so close!

That's really common after dropping 90 lbs. Body slows down and adapts at some point. Doesn't mean it stopped working, just a slower phase or plateau for a bit. A lot of people sit stuck for weeks or months before it moves. Usually small adjustments or just staying consistent. Keeping 90 lbs off...

Similar loss for me. Only 4 lbs on low doses. Didn't drop weight until I hit the highest dose, then suddenly 17 lbs in 5 weeks. Would've lost more with stricter diet and exercise. Everyone's body is different so it's about what you can tolerate. No side effects for me at any dose, so if you can...

Found the FDA risk list for compounded bulk substances. Pairs with that immunology chart someone shared — worth a review if you're using compounded versions.
