Follow-Up: Fatigue on Reta

I posted last week about how I was on week 4 of 2.5mg (titrated up from .5mg over 3 months) and was feeling super sleepy throughout the week. Well, I dropped my dose 2 days ago back down to 1.5mg and I feel no difference in appetite suppression, but my energy is back. I'm not superman or anything, but I can definitely feel a difference.

Just wanted to follow up for anyone else in the same boat. I'm using Reta for maintenance and metabolic health right now, so it might not be the best idea if you're taking higher doses and needing to lose a lot of weight.

Incline walking for last bit of back/lower belly fat

Anyone have a personal story of how incline walking (or walking in general) helped get rid of the love handles, lower belly fat and back fat? I don't have much left, but I can still grab it. I'm at 18% body fat currently. Just needing some inspiration to get back to taking my steps seriously and hitting 10-15k per day.

5'9" 149lbs.

If it matters, I'm taking

2.5mg Reta for maintenance/overall metabolic health
150mg Test - was on 120mg but decided to bump it up for 8-10 weeks for a little recomp boost.

I have a cycle of Tesa in the freezer but haven't started that yet - not sure if that would make a difference in the lovehandle department. I do have a little more visceral fat to lose (currently 66cm^2) but again, not sure if it would help.

Why don't I see more people talking about fasting on GLP-1?

The OG body hack - fasting - has many health benefits. With GLP-1 suppressing appetite and food noise, I'm surprised I don't see more people on here talking about this combo.

What else do I need?

VSF Datejust, VSF Starbucks, BVF Santos.

I don’t want a ton of watches, maybe 2 more max. What would round out my collection? I’m thinking about a Tank with a leather strap but IDK what else. I love my Starbucks so I don’t want to be redundant with another dive watch but the new VSF Planet Ocean looks sick.

Reta/Tirz stack

I'm on 2mg Reta + 120mg trt and while I do see a difference in some suppression, my appetite is still hefty some days and I would like to quiet that noise down a little especially after 4pm. I'm thinking about adding 1mg Tirz into that stack because I see a lot of people saying it's beneficial in that department. I would up the Reta dose but I don't really want any more glucagon component than I'm already getting. Maybe I could go to 2.5mg but I think I would cap it there.

For reference and understanding, I'm wanting to cut about 10lbs and have been stalled for a month or so, even titrating up from 1.5 to 2mg of Reta.

I think the TRT is keeping my appetite high because yesterday I had 250g protein and like 2500 calories.

Anyway, anyone doing a low dose combo like this?

Would my wife benefit from TRT?

Attached are my wife’s levels back in April. I’m not her but I would say she does have some low energy, libido is probably low but once things start going in the bedroom, she has no issues getting aroused or finishing. Just trying to gauge her levels and need for supplementation. She’s almost 37 and healthy BMI of 20.5.

Rotating Reta and Tirz

Hey team. I'm a big believer that GLP-1's, especially at lower doses, are turning into more of a longevity drug than just a weight loss drug. I'm on week 9 of Reta currently taking 1.5mg/week. I plan on maybe doing another 9 weeks or so, then I'm thinking about doing a similar cycle on Tirz. I love Reta but admittedly do not love the elevated RHR, as my natural RHR is already 75-80.

IGF-1 test before starting Tesa

I’ve got an IGF-1 test along with my usual 100+ marker test from blokes coming up next week. Is this sufficient data before starting Tesamorelin? Just want to make sure nothing is elevated before I start the cycle. I’m currently on 120mg TRT and 1.5mg Reta weekly.

GHK-cu and Tretinoin

Anyone have experience with running both of these simultaneously? I currently use a GHK-cu serum but have lyophilized GHK-cu also sitting in my freezer that I might start pinning.

Just got some Tretinoin and I know it can tear up your skin during the process and I definitely don’t want the GHK-cu to make it worse.

Would love some insight if there is any.

Peptides arriving while out of town (sitting in heat)

I will be out of town when I get my next round of Peps. We live in the south and it’s HOT. How long can they stay outside in a bubble mailer until they’re toast? Should I get a neighbor to bring them in? I will be home 2-3 days after they’re delivered.

Low bone density

40, M, 153lbs, 5'9". 19% body fat. Maintaining a 60lb weight loss over the span of 3 years.

I'm on 100mg TRT-C for the past 5 months. My last vitamin D levels (april 2026) were 35 ng/mL. Calcium levels were fine.

I eat high protein, taking 5000ui vitamin d/k, and have been regularly resistance training since February. Admittedly, I've never been consistent in the gym my entire life until now.

My most recent t score is -1.3 last week, which is even lower than in January when it was -1.0.

Why is my t score dropping and what else can I do about it?

How much inventory do you have?

I'm seeing some Father's Day sales going live and I'm curious how much stuff everyone is hoarding? I currently have enough Reta for 66 weeks on my current dosage and I've got enough Tirz for my wife for 46 weeks.

If you've got a ton piled up, why? Is it because you're fearful of regulations in the future?

Body recomp after 5 months. Can I get to 10%bf in another 5?

Dexa scan results attached. I started 100mg/week TRT after getting my first scan in January. I’m on my 6th week of 1mg Reta.

I have a home gym and have been getting 10k steps 4-5 days a week.

Claude doesn’t think it’s easily attainable to gain another 15lbs in lean mass and hit 10% body fat by the end of the year. What say you?

GLOW or just GHK-cu for me?

Yo fam. I just turned 40, male, and am considering adding one of these two options to my routine. Currently on 100mg TRT and 1mg Reta weekly.

I have some seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and beard and sometimes around my nostrils, and of course some wrinkles. Mostly crows feet when I smile.

I am moderately active but don’t do anything like HIT workouts. Just walking and lifting heavy.

Looking to de-age a little bit without going the Botox route, but am also interested in the recovery aspect of the Wolverine part of GLOW.

What would you do if you were me?
