Hi everyone,

I'm a 50 year old woman. Last January, Wolverine was what first got me into peptides, and from there I dove straight into the deep end — Reta, Mots-C, DSIP, Limitless, CJC with Ipa (no dac), Melanotan, Wolverine, and GHK-Cu. Obviously I wasn't running all of those simultaneously. My costs shot up really quickly, which pushed me to look into other ways of doing things. Between February and July, Reta took 45 pounds off me, and I've held steady since then for a while.... but I recently raised my dose again, aiming to shed another 10 pounds before I switch my entire focus to building muscle and body recomposition.

I was terrified that those 45 lbs had cost me a lot of muscle, but my DEXA scan showed only 2.4 lbs of it came from muscle loss. My strength has dropped a lot, though, so I went back on testosterone and I'm trying to be more consistent with my workouts. I eat mostly carnivore (not always strictly) and do crossfit 3x/week (though the last few months I've been inconsistent with it). Before Reta, NOTHING ever helped me lose weight... despite ideal bloodwork and a diet that was 90% clean. For me Reta was the holy grail — it finally gave me the weight loss I couldn't achieve on my own across 20 years of losing and regaining the same 15-20 pounds. I now weigh what I did at 19 years old. If only I still had the muscle mass from back then. I'm working on it.

One of the Facebook groups I'm in led me to this forum, and I joined so I could learn from others. Dr Trevor, DrAFroese, and Josh Holyfield are people I've followed for a long time, and I usually research the daylights out of everything before I start poking.

Current Stack:

Reta @ 4.5mg once a week

Testosterone @ 10mg once a week

GLOW @ 2mg/0.4mg/0.4mg once a day (switching to KLOW next batch)

Limitless @ 400mcg on days I need to focus.... and about to try Adamax in place of Limitless (no anxiety issues)

Upcoming Cycles Planned Consecutively:

Epitalon @ 10mg for 10 days

SS-31 @ 5mg per day for 4-6 weeks (still researching ideal dose/duration)

Mots-C @ 3.3mg 3x per week for 4-6 weeks (still researching ideal dose/duration.... took this before up to 5mg/day with no noticeable energy bump)

I'd love to hear from people who have done SS-31 and Mots-C to see how they felt at different doses. That's my current research project.
 
Glad you're here! Nice work discovering reta and putting an end to that gain-lose-gain cycle, since your metabolism prefers keeping you at the heavier weight. Pretty awesome, right?? There should be lots of people around to chat with about the stacks you're on now and ones you try later. (I'm not one of them—tirz and reta only for me—but plenty of others here match your approach.)
