Reta dosage - time to go up?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
89.2 to 89.3 over the April window with 5 days overseas eating is effectively a hold rather than a gain. The OP's first few injections ramping from 1mg is a similar early period where the first several weeks are establishing blood levels more than driving weight change. The overseas trip variable makes that 100g number essentially noise - the question is what happens across a clean 4-week window without travel disruption.
 
Week 1 Friday update format after starting on Wednesday is a longer first window than a clean 7 days and it's worth noting when comparing that first window to later weeks. The OP's first few injections ramping from 1mg is the standard starting protocol and the question of when to go up is usually answered by appetite response rather than hitting a calendar date. What does appetite look like compared to pre-medication?
 
Didn't catch when exactly you got back on reta. Under a month back and you're still climbing the titration curve. That opening 8mg dose following a long pause only lifts your system to about 8mg. Once a full month at that weekly amount passes, the same injection ends up carrying your body closer to double that, roughly speaking. So during that entire opening stretch after restarting, you've genuinely been sitting at a lighter internal amount than you had before stopping.

Much of the extra weight that showed up during your break was probably swelling tied to inflammation rather than genuine fat gain. Getting back on reta likely flushed that retained fluid quickly, there's no realistic way that many pounds of actual fat vanished that fast. While your body's still sorting itself out from that swing, the number on the scale isn't a reliable stand-in for fat levels right now.

During your original run on reta, that early water-driven stall probably never showed up because fat was melting away fast enough to completely bury any minor rebound in fluid that would've followed. This time your rate of losing fat
 
That's a pretty small amount. I'd suggest bumping up to at least 2mg for a week, then moving to 4mg the week after that.

Make sure you're getting enough protein and carbs while running the third compound.
 
First month brought roughly nine kilos off. Second month has slowed down some, possibly tied to adding HCG into the mix. This week's drop came to about 0.6kg, running a 2mg reta amount. Hydration also feels noticeably better this week compared to before.
