Hey all!

I began the Reta peptide path 6 weeks back. I weighed 202 at the start, and now I'm at 188. Every Tuesday is my pin day, and honestly the results are amazing! My clothes fit loosely, and my face looks thinner.

I hit the gym 5x per week, doing roughly 25-30 min of cardio. Naturally, I keep an eye on my food intake too.
 
Welcome to the forum. Just keep in mind that Reta needs roughly 4 weeks to accumulate in your body. For me, changes kicked in near the 6 week point. The first place I saw a difference was my love handles.

You’ll start seeing results before long. Stay the course.

Then what’s behind this, "6 weeks in and I’m upset !"

Nothing seems to be bothering you. Stay the course, you’re doing great 🙂

4 months from now, you’ll be amazed.
 
You're making solid progress! 14lbs gone already. I've been at this nearly twice as long (close to 12 weeks) and I've only managed 13lbs, plus these past 2 weeks have just been bouncing around the same 2lbs with zero movement (even though my dose is higher).
 
Sorry !

I left out the Upset part ! LOL so my reta came from a buddy of mine who does bodybuilding. He hit me for over two hundred for a 10 mg vial, then when it was time to reup, he charged me two hundred again for a 20mg vial, telling me it was a steal !

Upset because after FINALLY doing my research, there are way better pricing out there.

Also my weekly weigh ins happen on Wednesday and today I'm still at 188. No weight loss but I am sure that is normal
 
That’s solid progress. My weight is fairly near yours, and I’m in week 5 of Reta; a few weeks have only brought 1-2 pounds, which can feel like not much next to the accounts you come across. Still, I’m trying to keep a long term view. A slower pace where the habits remain once I titrate down seems like a better aim than chasing weekly scale numbers.

There are some truly nasty folks around. My stepmom was the one who got me onto reta, and she'd been shelling out $300 for 4 prefilled syringes of it — supposedly a "1 month" supply.

What makes it worse is that she keeps sending other people to this "friend" of hers.

Hey, I've got a friend in a pretty similar situation. There's no way to know what you haven't been exposed to yet. Still, you can at least appreciate that he set you off on a good direction. Keep in mind the scale isn't the only thing that matters. You literally just mentioned your clothes fitting loosely and your face looking slimmer — taking it slow and steady is what comes out on top (and protects the muscle!).
 
Any suggestions for single vials ? Not ready to commit to kits yet.

Was considering ⚠️Vendor Name Removed for Shilling⚠️ ?!
 
In the vendor section, a full 10mg kit runs about $100 for 100mg. That beats picking up singles — particularly from a "friend."

Whoa! That’s fantastic. Looks like I need to do some more digging. All of this is still very new for me.

I was confused too about why that got to you 🤣🤣 now I've gone through that section.

Same here — I couldn't work out what had annoyed you! I've finished reading the rest now 😆

You mentioned "FRIEND !!"? He completely overcharged you.....sorry.

That's actually higher than what retail/website prices are in Canada.

Well, on a positive note.....you're now able to purchase it on your own from a vendor here.
 
At 1st I assumed your frustration was about the pace of your losses, but then you gave us the update, ha ha

You're doing well! I don't get why you're frustrated. If you drop more pounds in that stretch, health problems tend to show up.
