Hey there! I'm a 48-year-old female based in Chicago. After giving tirz a shot, I've spent the past 4 months on reta. I've dropped 40+ lbs so far! I'm here to pick up more knowledge, improve my health, and connect with some glp friends.

I’m located in the northwest suburbs! Just wrapped up month 2 of Reta and it’s been great so far. I hope I see the same results you’ve had by month 4, because that sounds incredible! Welcome aboard and congrats!

Hi! I’m in the same boat- 48 and lost 42# in about 3 months on Reta. Tirzepatide was working for me prior (while slower acting), but I cycled off and gained it back pretty quickly. Switched to Reta and was shocked how the hunger switch flipped and how quickly I shed the weight. Switching over to Tesamorelin next week for the final brown fat attack and added perks it offers.

I’m excited for you! Keep at it & good luck to you 🙂

That is great to hear!! Nice work! Keep me posted on how the Tesa works out, I have been researching it more!

Living over in McHenry county myself. It's great to spot folks close by who are into the same things with this!

Hey there, neighbor!! I'm in LC myself, on the west side more than the east lol, so I'm probably pretty close to you. lol

Another person from Chicago checking in — glad to have you in this healthier way of living 🫡 during the 2 and a half months I've spent using it, reta has completely transformed my life
 
Hey @GretchaSketch so much of that sounds like me. My stack is the Reta (8mg wk) & Tesa (2 mg daily) combo — and I am over in West Rogers Park!
 
This is great, Chicago holds a special place for me. For 30 years I called the westernmost suburb of Chicago home - Scottsdale, AZ 🙂

Since starting reta, Lou's, Carson's, and Gibson's haven't once crossed my mind. And even with them on my mind right now, the feeling is closer to "oh yeah, that's nice" than to booking a flight and going berserker on a Chicago eating adventure.

Good luck everyone!
