2.5-Month Reta Update

I’ve been taking Reta for about 2.5 months now.

I started at 0.5 mg for the first week, but I didn’t feel anything at all. I then moved up to 1 mg for three weeks—still nothing. Basically, I wasted a whole month on an extremely low dose. For those weighing 230 lbs or more, learn from my mistake: start at a minimum of 2 mg.

When I increased the dose to 2 mg in the fifth week, I finally started to feel the effects, and I’m still on that dose now. I plan to increase it again with my next injection.

So far, I’ve lost 13 lbs, and it looks like I’ve gained some muscle, too.

I still have 55 lbs to go, and I’ll post another update once I’m halfway through this journey.

Thanks to everyone here for sharing your updates and photos—they’ve been a great source of motivation for me!
