Hi all,

After reading posts here for a while, I’m putting up my intro. I’m a guy in middle age, 6’0”, and I got to a point where I understood a genuine, permanent change was necessary for my health. Right now I’m in the obese category, but moving the right way.

I’ve been on Zepbound for 70 days—at 7.5mg now—and I’m also taking Sermorelin 300mcg/5days.

Where I’m at:

SW: 235 lbs

CW: 210 lbs (-25 lbs)

Goal: Rebuild overall health, drop fat, and protect muscle.

Things I’m working on right now:

1. Body Composition: I’m pleased with the 25 lb drop, but what matters to me now is improving body comp. I want to ensure I keep lean muscle as I lose fat, rather than just losing weight without a plan.

2. Sleep: Lately sleep quality has been genuinely difficult. I realize good rest matters a lot for recovery, hormone balance, and progress overall, so I’m trying to fix this.

Happy to be among people walking the same road. If anyone has dealt with sleep problems or figured out body recomposition while on 7.5mg, I’d like to know what helped you (protein targets, lifting routines, sleep protocols, timing, etc.).

Looking forward to connecting!
 
It sounds like things are going well already! Keep it up! I am 5 weeks into Reta myself.. No scale for me BUT weight has definitely come off and food noise is GONE. Sitting at 4mg right now and I may just hold this dosage a while longer.
 
My wife began Reta recently, and my brother is now in week 3. He kicked off with .5mg, then 3 days later took another .5, followed by 1mg in week 2. I’m unsure whether that dose is sufficient for her, since she hasn’t experienced any side effects whatsoever, no appetite reduction, and has only dropped 2lbs so far. We’re thinking about moving to 1.5 tomorrow. Is this typical? Any suggestions for her would be welcome.

My brother also started around the same time with a comparable plan and likewise isn’t seeing any changes.
