Hello everyone.. I figured I would post a quick introduction. I'm 52 years old, and weight has been an issue for me for as long as I can remember. Even back in elementary school, I recall being overweight and dealing with the way people treat you because of it. About 2 years ago, I started trying to lose weight completely on my own. Through some means, I dropped 76 pounds, but it was an enormous struggle. I kept seeing Reta mentioned in my fitness groups and such, and before I knew it, I ended up here! Using crypto and buying gray market peps haha

I'm roughly 3 months into using Reta, and now everything is really starting to move! The weight is coming off faster, and I'm more committed at the gym than I've ever been. At my heaviest, I was 419 pounds, and now I'm at 287. It's been at least 20 years, possibly much longer, since I was under 300. I once heard a line on some TV show that really hit home for me. It was something like [[Q1]] - that really resonated with me.

Wishing everyone the best 🙂

Losing 76 pounds without any help is really remarkable — reaching that level clearly takes a lot of self-control.

Is there a weight you're aiming for? Have you run into any loose skin problems so far?

My goal weight of 280 is nearly reached — once I get there, I'll lower it to 250.

Sadly, there is some loose skin on my lower belly and under my arms.. Even so, I'm happy!
 
Great job on what you've achieved up to now! And for being willing to rethink your targets after realizing what you can accomplish. Best of luck with reta
