I started reta early September and started tesa daily on 9/13, around the start of October my injection sites have been leaving bruises and lumps right after injection. I do everything the same everytime so i have no idea what the issue could be. Both of these are tesa injections from the past 2-3 days

EDIT: these are from tesa injections and cause itchiness.

Posted blood work because people think I’m on a ton of gear and I’m not. I hope that’s allowed. It seems like every post I make on reddit gets taken down.

UPDATE:::: Here is a link to August 2026 bloodwork for people complaining that posted bloodwork is too old. Bloodwork

I’m so proud of my personal stack

OK if you look up peptides on YouTube you know who this is. I find her trust worthy for the most part but this video is super sus.

Basically she said she bought 5 different peptides and test them all and said ALL 5 comes back not contained what they claim.

Sus #1: she show a test for a clear cap mot-c but never hold up a clear cap vial.

Sus #2: she hold up blue cap and said it was bpc 150, then a purple cap and called it CJC then hold up the purple cap again and call it mot-c. We never see any other cap color in the video.

Sus #3: she never showed the other 4 failed CoAs.

Sus#4 + #5 (idk much about so I can't confirm): 4. I can't find the CoAs, is there an option for freedom not to publish them? And she said she paid $600 for 5 tests... and she didn't use finnrick. That's suspiciously cheap.

Been or reta for 4 months down from 240 lb to 187 lb now . Started at 2mg titrated my way up to 5mg . Been locked in diet “ 1800cal” and lifting for the whole period. What should I do now do i still need to take more and cut more or do i start tapering off and start a lean bulk . Please advise

Been on Reta for 4 months exactly today, started at .5mg and currently at 2.5mg once per week. Starting weight was 264lbs and I’m currently at 220 lbs. I closely track my calories and try to stay between 1800-2000 calories a day while taking in 200g of protein. I also weight train 5x a week and swim laps for cardio whenever I can. Kind of at a plateau right now, been at about 220lbs for the past week and a half. Might go up to 3mg next week if I don’t see any difference.

Hey everyone, I wanted to go public with my tremendous success on simply the “starter doses” of Tirz and Reta. I am proof that there are GLP/GIP-sensitive folk out there, I started at my heaviest of 250 lbs and lost 45 in 2 months when prescribed just the starter dose of Zepbound in 2 months.

I discontinued due to extreme pharma cost, but there I sat, 3-4 months later, not 1 single pound regained! I thought, such a shame a drug so powerful can only be accessed by those who can afford it… then I was introduced to Reta. I did my research and was highly interested, and the cost was 1 year’s worth for not even 1 month of pharma?

Anyway fast forward now, I’m about 4 months into Reta, I’m currently doing 0.5mg twice a week, just coming down from 1mg twice a week with 100% aversion to food, I’m just regaining an appetite now.

But to everyone hating on the small dosing, I just had a doctors appointment today, I weigh in at 149 from 250, that’s 100 lost!

You are not mad for beginning low and slow! Remember to practice patience, Reta has a long half half, with every dose your body sees a disproportionate climb, give it time! Weight gain didn’t happen overnight!

Best of luck!!!

Starting weight 182lbs, current weight 140 lbs. I lost 42 lbs along with getting in a lot of protein, resistance
training 4 times a week, and getting 15k steps a day.

Highest weight recorded was 470 in December 2023. Started official weight loss journey in August 2025. Still need to get to about 170lbs or so as I’m a short king (5’8)
