M 41. My path back into sports began after a sedentary break for having kids 3 years ago. I soon learned that dropping weight at 38 is quite hard, though my climbing is still decent. So 2 years ago I went strict keto, which worked well—cheese, bacon, and meat suit me. Still, my loss seemed capped. A heavier coworker had spent a year on GLP and shed roughly 30% of his bodyweight, which got me researching. About a month ago I began reta, and it has been a revelation: no sides, no energy problems, only appetite suppression and that wonderful sense of fullness while eating non keto food in sensible portions. Now I'm walking a fine line, trying to drop my final 10 pounds or so without sacrificing muscle or ending up with sagging skin. My wife dropped 20% of her body weight on glp, but very slowly across 2 years, and had no skin trouble, so I'm taking it slow too. I look forward to hearing other rock climbing stories here.

Hi there! Rock climbing, huh? That takes some courage. Heights are not for me...I will stay with horses and ride through the mountains, not up their faces!
