Reta - Week 2 thoughts?

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking about 145mg of TRT per week and 2 IU of HGH before bed. I'll get my blood work done and see. Thanks again!
 
Doubled my dose today, injected almost 3mg of Reta. Felt some mild side effects before bed, but nothing now. Starting to wonder if it's even real, even though I've dropped a few pounds (6'1", 175lbs). I know body fat won't really drop until around week 12.
 
I saw this article of a woman who lost like 125lbs in a year or so. She went from size 26 to a size 16! It's amazing what these meds can do with some dedication. She wasn't just sitting around eating bonbons!
 
I saw someone mention that they stalled for 2 weeks, and what helped them, was rotating their injection sites around their belly button. Might be worth a try!
 
Moving your Tuesday dose to Friday should be fine since some people take weekly dosing as one shot anyway. You're not really skipping a dose, just timing it different.
 
The day-4-to-5 appetite return is the Reta half-life floor showing - the suppression dips before the next shot restores it.
 
Week 2 on Reta being milder than expected is standard - the strong appetite suppression usually builds between weeks 2-4 rather than hitting on the first dose. The water weight early is the glycogen drawdown and part of why the scale moves faster at the start than the actual fat loss justifies. Most people hit a clearer appetite signal around dose 3-4.
 
Week 2 is deep in the adjustment window. Appetite suppression tends to build gradually, not all at once. Nausea peaks early then backs off. Hang in - you're close to the turn.
 
Catecholamine support alongside GLP-1 tracks for depression and ADD - the GIP receptor has mood-adjacent effects that potentiate whatever you're stacking with. Week 2 appetite being mild is the typical lag before steady state.
 
That rate is aggressive even with Reta - weekly losses that high require a significant calorie deficit and are harder to sustain than going slower. For a five-kilo goal with five or six weeks of dosing, a more moderate pace is likely to hold better and not require the kind of deficit that creates fatigue.
