Fantastic progress.

Dude, those stats are exactly what I'm shooting for! Good on you! Keeps me going even when I wanna quit.

I'm in the same boat! I began the year around 240 lbs and now I am around 180 lbs. That's about 60lbs gone. I was an 18/2XL too, now I'm a size 10/12 and a medium. It's so strange, I still reach for the bigger sizes! What's your ultimate weight goal? I want to get to 140 lbs, a nice, even 100 lb...

Me too! I could not have done it without the meds. That's awesome!

I am at the highest dose, I believe it is 15mg.

Grazie.

I had to purchase some new jeans this week. I was wearing a size 20/2x, but now I'm fitting into a size 14! I haven't been this size since college! These meds are really something!

Down 91 pounds over the last year and a half. Went from a size 22 jeans to now a 10. Posting this because it doesn't feel real some days!

They seem more focused on muscle preservation instead of building it. Preventing muscle atrophy is different from inducing muscle hypertrophy.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I agree that regain is not inevitable. There's a good amount of evidence that Reta actually helps repair the issues, not just curb appetite. I stopped Sema and Reta long enough to get my energy back, I've been doing more cardio, and I've lost a few...

I studied pre-med and robotics with a focus on stats and data, but I still feel like I barely know anything compared to people who have advanced degrees. It's impossible to learn everything, even if you work in the field. Sigh

My husband is considering starting a low dose of Reta after the holidays, but he's concerned about losing muscle. I've been doing some research for him. Was thinking 3g/day sounds right. Thanks!

What do you think about HMB? Some people swear by it for muscle retention, but others say it's a waste of money.

Thanks for the details on ACE-031. I appreciate the explanation on why it isn't more widely available. I'm here to learn, and that was helpful!

I think you're misunderstanding. ACE-031 does the *opposite* of inhibiting muscle growth. That's why some bodybuilders will stack it with GLP-1 receptor agonists. It's meant to help you gain muscle without the more severe side effects from anabolics or SARMs. Yes, I know Garetosmab and...

I'm interested in myostatin research, specifically ActRIIB ligands, however, I can't find too much discussion about it here. It seems like most people just stick to creatine or Beta-Alanine. I'm surprised there aren't more conversations, especially since there are several Phase 2 clinical trials...

Someone posted 8 months in and the difference in their face was amazing! Said they felt so much happier too. That's what I'm hoping for!

Awesome job!

Congratulations! Keep going!

I love seeing these success stories! I'm down about 40lbs on a GLP-1 after about 9 months. Still got like 30 to go, but I'm swimming now and just generally feel healthier. Slow and steady wins the race!
