Reta was my introduction to GLP medications, and because I felt nervous, I eased in at a very gradual pace.
For 4 weeks, I took 1mg once each week. After that came another 4 weeks at 2mg once weekly.
Month 1 brought only 2lbs of loss, and month 2 added 6 lbs.
That's why I raised the dose to 2mg taken twice per week, and suddenly everything clicked for me! Over the following two weeks, another 6 pounds came off!
Still, this is a marathon rather than a sprint, so patience is essential!
My goal is to drop 85lbs, and I expect it could take a year, but I'm committed for the long term.
