Hey y’all- I’m in a conundrum about whether to stay on Reta or go back to Sema. Some back story- I did 3 waves of Sema over the last 2-3 years, each time to lose the same 20 pounds. It worked great at low doses, the weight came off fast but the sides sucked- constant nausea and horrible insomnia. Regretfully I stopped when I got to goal weight and the weight slowly came back. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago- I’d been curious about Reta and finally pulled the trigger on a 5mg vial, thinking I’d try it to see how I felt before I bought more volume. Started at 0.5 and had terrible bathroom issues, but my source (trusted friend and peptide pro) urged me to keep going. I did 0.5 for 2 weeks, upped to 0.75 with no issues, and just took my second and last dose of 1mg last night, and have run out. Here’s the issue- this time around, I pledged to count calories and macros, move my body more, and really work at the weight loss; something I didn’t do while on Sema. I have lost exactly 2 pounds in 6 weeks while eating lean and clean 1,450 calories a day. For reference, I’m 5’7’’ and weigh 177 pounds. My goal weight is around 150. I’m really discouraged. At that calorie defecit alone I should be losing, even without the help of a GLP. I’m tempted to go back to Sema as it’s cheaper and has worked better for me, but I’m just not sure what to do and need to order more of something asap. Thoughts, ideas and advice welcome.
