hi! 24f, 5’1 sw: ~165lbs, cw: 149

for the last two weeks i’ve been stuck at 149 and it’s driving me crazy. i count my calories and i use the lose it app to track my meals and i’ve been going off of the calorie goal that lose it gives me.

i thought maybe it’s too many calories so i checked a tdee calculator and it said 1100 calories for my weight and to be in a deficit and i think that’s absolutely insane. right now, the lose it app says 1298 calories a day, and im usually there or under.

what can i do to break out of this plateau?

Just finished my 6th week on 2mg..feeling great 😊 I can’t believe that whatever material things I’ve been hoarding meant nothing to me as I was spring cleaning. I was able to declutter all my closets and drawers without looking back and moping about it lol The anhedonia is real 👏

I pinned for the first time yesterday night and woke up this morning with diarrhea (sorry tmi). It could be just an IBS flare up but was wondering if anybody else felt this

0.25 per week for 4 weeks
0.25 x 0.25 per week for 4 weeks (0.50 split 2x per week)
0.25 x 0.50 per week for 4 weeks
0.50 x 0.50 per week for 4 weeks (I’m here right now)
0.50 x 0.75 per week for 4 weeks
0.75 x 0.75 per week for 4 weeks
0.75 x 1.00 per week for 4 weeks
1.00 x 1.00 per week for 4 weeks (2mg per week)
And then I plan to taper down the same way from 2.mg down to 0.25 per week to a complete stop.

I’ve also been taking tb500 and bpc 150 combo for the last 2 months but will stop it soon because I heard it should not be taken for too long? And I’ve been taking urolithin A and Slu-pp because it is meant to maintain muscle?!

I plan to start NAD+ soon as well.

Does this titration make sense, I’m at 0.50 x 0.50 right now in week 2 and honestly since I started I haven’t felt any major difference - no side effects and I’m not entirely even sure if my hunger is curbed, but it might have just a little bit.

My question is - is anyone else doing this? Does this titration make sense?

I’m trying to lose about 30 -40 lbs which I gained after a back injury because I can’t really do much cardio anymore . I don’t want to take it forever so weaning off is important

Starting dosage

Starting Reta next week.

32mg pre filled pen.

Have been on 1mg of Ozempic for a year, lost 20kg, but been plateaued since Jan between 104 and 105 kgs.

I am:

5'7" , 105kg (232 lbs).

What dosage should I start at?

Should I do one weekly dosage, or broken up into two doses a week?

What increments did yoy increase if needed? And how fast?

hello! I'm in the fourth week of Reta and so far I've lost 6 kg, but for a week the scale has been stagnant. has anyone else faced this? I'd like to point out that I train 5x a week, do cardio daily, eat well below the deficit and the scale still doesn't move.

Ive been on reta for the past 10 months ive lost 60+ pounds and im looking great, recently i had discomfort on my intestines a feeling of like trapped gas for a week. After rubbing my abdomen one day i felt crazy sharp pain. Went to the ER and they told me i had perforated my small intestine, they couldnt find a reason as of why this had happened to me, i got checked for crohns and every other posible outcome and everything came up as negative, i didnt tell the doctors about my reta use since its easy to blame a non fda approved peptide. My question is could retatrutide been the reason i perforated my intestine?

My dosage was 5mg a week

When I’m on reta I over analyze every LITTLE thing that I feel. I was on Reta for 9 weeks after doing multiple rounds of Tirz. Started Reta at 1 mg for two weeks then 1.5 mg for 5 weeks then 2 mg for two weeks. I felt great until 2 mg. I started experiencing anxiety attacks, not just heart racing I’m used to that, but like mentally struggling being paranoid about my health. This happened both of my times on tirz as well which made me stop.
It’s not about fast heart beat, but about obsessive thoughts over potential adverse side effects. Like when I am not on a glp1, I have all sort of aches and pains and don’t think twice. On Reta/Tirz I experience a headache and think I have a t*mor. Or have some floaters in my eye and think I’m losing eyesight (convinced myself for two weeks that what it was and had an extensive eye panel done lol…. 20/20 vision). Couldn’t go to Costco without feeling dizzy and having to leave. Could barely spot through a dinner with my family… Idk.
With that being said, I LOVED Reta in the beginning but for some reason it seems that it always gets to a point w me on GLPs and then I get major anxiety. Other than that I experienced no physical side effects and lost 10 pounds in a month! But after the 9th injection when I got freaked out I stopped (and have felt like my normal self again). I also stalled after the first month so losing no weight and having tons of anxiety is what made me give up. I want to get back on and finally lose the 40 pounds and beat this! Has anyone had a similar experience or any advice??

I know people that don’t care about what they eat/drink and also don’t exercise at all on reta or other glps. They just take the shot and move on with their lives. I wish I could do that!

Hi ladies,

I recently switched to Reta 2mg from a high dose of 15mg from Mounjaro with a months break. I am not feeling any effects with the 2mg and it was my first week. Should I move up for week 2? I am
So confused

Just ordered my first 10ml vial! I’m nervous but also excited to see where Reta can take my weight loss journey. Any woman over 200 pounds taking Reta have any specific issues? I am very active and do heavy cardio and some light weight lifting it’s just the eating part is hard for me :( I would love any advice!!

I’ve been on Reta for 3 weeks now started at 1mg for 2 weeks and moved down to 0.5. My resting heart rate has shot up and even going to the gym has become an issue as I can’t push myself. I’ve lost about 4lb so far but I just feel like the side effect isn’t worth it. I was in the 50s and now on the high 60s. When I work out it can go up to high 170-190. I’m 5ft1 and 59kg try to get to 53kg. I’m thinking of switching to Tirz as Ive read it has less of an effect on rhr. Anyone dealt with anything similar? Or anyone moved to Tirz and preferred it?

Looking for some advice after creeping and researching for months. I’m 33F and currently have HBP which I’m taking meds for 2x daily (maxed out on Labetelol). I’m definitely overweight, sitting at 265 (5’11” for context) and obviously losing weight will inevitably lower my BP. However, I’m very nervous to start Reta due to the reported SE of elevated RHR because the meds I’m on work specifically to lower my HR and dilate my blood vessels to help the pressure.

Does anyone suggest another pep/stack to start with that would be just as effective as Reta? Should I just start the Reta on a low dose (0.25mg) and just test the waters? I haven’t really found a good answer to this among all of my searching so I figured I’d come to ask for help from the community.

Trying to be responsible about this and research before diving in. Never used peps before, and definitely want to avoid big Pharma for help with weight loss.

Hi, I have used glp’s before a lot in the past. And I found they didn’t always have a huge affect on me.

I was on mounjaro/triz for a month and was on 5mg.

I started Reta last week, my first dose was 2mg and I felt nothing.

My second dose (last dose I’ve taken) was 4mg and I still feel nothing

Has anyone else had this happen? What should I do?

It’s hard not to wonder if Reta is even for me sometimes. 😅 I’m on week 8 now, slowly worked my way up from 1mg and about to move to 4mg. Starting weight was 196, currently 190, goal is 130. I’m 35.

I keep seeing people talk about dropping weight super fast and having crazy appetite suppression, and honestly… that hasn’t really been my experience so far. I can still eat for sure. Maybe I get fuller a little faster, but I thought the appetite suppression would feel way stronger by now.

Meanwhile, friends I know taking the exact same thing seem to be losing quicker and barely hungry at all. Trying not to get discouraged or compare myself, but it’s hard sometimes lol.

Did anyone else NOT really start seeing bigger results until a few months in or after getting to a higher dose? Just looking for a little hope right now 🥲

Hey, I started last Wednesday on 2mg as I thought that was the standard dose - I’ve had minimal side effects, slightly raised resting heart rate one evening but that’s it. It has suppressed my appetite greatly, food noise isn’t totally reduced yet but I’m assuming that’s normal for week one??
Anyway my question is - my cousin told me I shouldn’t have started on 2mg and should’ve started on 0.5/1 - should I take a lower dose this week or carry on on 2?
