How are you all doing? Male, 59, standing 5'8, and the scale reads 191lb where it used to read 206. A chunk of that came off before I touched Reta, which I began 5 weeks back — so 9 lbs of the drop is down to it. TRT has been part of my routine for a loooooong time. Keeping muscle matters to me, so I still lift as heavy as I can 4-5 times/week, my creatine is now doubled to 10 mg daily, and protein sits at 160-190 grams/day. Seems to be doing the job. Going below 185lbs isn't really the plan, though I'll judge that when I arrive. My Reta ramp: 1mg/week for the first week, then .5 2x/week in week 2, .67mg 2x/week in week 3, .83mg 2x/per week in week 4. This week I pinned 1mg Tuesday a.m. with another 1 mg queued for Friday evening. Unless 185lbs turns into a wall, 1mg 2x/week is where I stay.

Plenty to learn here, and plenty of notes to swap.

Best of luck to each of yous on whatever path you're walking!
