Happy to have found this place. Quick background: male, 53, 5'11", living in Michigan. Retatrutide entered the picture for me in early March, and I have to say the results have been dramatic — my starting weight was 317 lbs and the scale now reads 280, which works out to roughly 37 lbs gone across about 8 weeks. Hitting 185 by year's end is what I'm aiming for; it's a bold target, but for the first time in ages it doesn't feel out of reach.

Dosing-wise I'm at 3mg right now, and alongside that I've been running about 2,000 calories daily plus three weekly weightlifting sessions. Hunger has been noticeably blunted and the number on the scale keeps dropping, so no complaints from me.

My main reason for signing up is to dig deeper into Retatrutide in particular — how people handle dosing, how their titration schedules have gone, observations from those on higher doses, dealing with side effects, that sort of thing. Plenty of unreliable chatter exists elsewhere, and I'd much rather hear from folks who are living it firsthand.

Excited to dig into the threads already here and meet everyone.

"Right now I'm on 3mg, and alongside that I've been doing roughly 2,000 calories per day plus weight training 3 times per week. The hunger blunting has been genuine and the number on the scale keeps dropping, so no complaints here".

That's exactly the right approach !!! Staying positive matters too !! You've got this !!
 
My dear, please be sure to keep in mind that anyone who proactively sends you a private message is a scammer—legitimate distributors never reach out to anyone via private message!
 
Just giving a quick update on where I'm at:

Current weight is 267, which means 50lbs lost, and 13lb of that has come off since I first wrote this post. I'm still feeling wonderful and grateful to be part of this community.
