Hey there, and a good evening to everyone! I'm writing this from the southeastern part of Louisiana. Peptides are a brand-new territory for me, and I've now reached week 5 of using Retatrutide. Up to this point, I've stuck to a fairly strict diet and started training again. The scale shows a loss of 13 pounds, and I've dropped no less than 1 pants size. Before a friend brought up Reta with me, I had zero knowledge about peptides — I didn't even realize that Ozempic/Mounjaro counted as one. That conversation cracked open this incredible peptide universe for me. Since then, peptides and the entire concept of biohacking have had me completely hooked. I'm a male with an athletic build who weighed over 300 pounds, and during my teenage years and early 20s I spent many years powerlifting, bodybuilding, and playing football. Then marriage and kids came along, which pulled my attention far away from taking care of my health. Not long ago, I learned that I have fatty liver and high cholesterol. As soon as it became clear that peptides could help me enormously — not just with losing weight, but through all the other health advantages — my curiosity skyrocketed. This pushed me to cut processed foods out of my life entirely and carve out time for exercise, treating peptides as a tool on my path to becoming a better person for my family. My wife is getting ready to start her own journey too, and we're both thrilled to look into these possibilities and extremely grateful for this site.

That could be my own story, almost word for word. South Louisiana here too.
Good to meet another person from Louisiana! Your starting weight sounds close to mine too. At the start of this year I was 323. I began reducing how much I ate at each meal and stopped drinking soda. That got me to 308, and I think most of that came from dropping the sodas since my food choices were still poor. I had been drinking multiple sodas daily. A lot of people have no idea how harmful sodas really are. In mid-April I started reta at 308, and I also switched to a whole food diet and got back into exercising. Now I'm at 294, and I've gone down a shirt size and a pant size. I was never a massive guy; I'm more athletic and densely built with a bit of extra padding.
