Hello from OH: From lurking to posting

[Kaido]

Hi everyone,

I've spent the past few months reading along here and picking up quite a bit. About 4 weeks ago I began Reta, and it's been going well. During week 1, I split 1mg into separate shots just to confirm I wouldn't get any symptoms, and after that I've been taking 2mg every 6 days.

I'm not overweight; my aim is just to get rid of the dad bod. Since starting, I'm down 16lbs, and so far everything has gone great. A bonus I didn't expect: Reta has also helped me cut back on alcohol, which wasn't something I planned but is a nice side effect.

I'm here to keep learning from what looks like a pretty great forum overall. Thanks

How much more do you need to reach your target?

Another 10-15 pounds is likely plenty, after which I'll drop down to a maintenance dose. Given everything it seems to do, stopping entirely may prove difficult. The hunger suppression is at a level where my work day passes without much food noise, yet I can still eat and keep my calories up. No complaints so far. Appreciate you checking in!

I get it. Not long ago I went a few months without any Reta, and the first 1-2 months were okay. Once the third month rolled around, my appetite started returning and the scale began inching upward, so right now I'm experimenting with a far smaller maintenance dose. I'm roughly 10-15lbs from where I want to be as well, and I'm just questioning whether I really need to push the dosage that high.
