Hey everyone, I'm a 34-year-old guy and I've been using Ret for roughly 5 months now. I'm pretty new to GLP's, and up until now I've been sourcing it from someone local — the cost has been brutal. Because I don't want to drain my bank account while trying to lose weight, I started digging around on Reddit and came across a mention of this forum. My starting weight was 230lbs, and I'm sitting at 188 right now. The finish line is close, but I've stalled out and the scale won't budge. So I'm really hoping to get some tips, maybe a bit of direction, to reach my target of 160lbs. I'm just a regular guy — I own a semi, so aside from slinging chains and binders, most of my day is spent parked on my rear in the driver's seat. Keeping the weight off has been a struggle for me. Add 3 kids born within the last 4 years, and the pounds really piled on. Appreciate you reading this.

Nice work, keep going. I'm in week 5 of reta and have dropped roughly 10 pounds—from 232 down to 222.

Way to go on dropping the weight @Raidersilver !!! My scale read 183 this week. I've been digging through every corner of this forum, checking out various peps to pair with Reta so I can reach the physique I'm after. Eventually I settled on adding Tesa alongside it, aiming to eliminate the visceral fat hanging around my midsection. After that, I fell into the rabbit hole of finding the fastest, most dependable, budget-friendly, and well-reviewed source . I made my own call after reading the feedback I came across. So I picked 1 vendor for Reta and a different 1 for the Tesa, because the first was sold out. Based on what I read, both are simple to deal with, and I can confirm that was accurate . Chatting with the reps from both was a breeze. Really glad I stumbled on this forum, honestly eye opening. I figured I'd already researched peps thoroughly, but I was stunned by how much more there was to learn . Still picking up things every day . I catch myself pulling up the site and just scrolling through threads with no particular subject in mind . lol and it's been eating up a lot of time since I deal with hyper fixation thanks to adhd 🤣 but I can't keep away from the sight .
 
That describes me too lol. I just keep searching, reading, and picking things up, and I can't quit hunting for more and building a stash — it feels like covid happening again, except the stockpile is peps rather than Tp and spam 🤣🤣

I've been considering stacking Tesa with my Reta. Keep us posted on your results. Best of luck!

I'll for sure keep you posted on the results. I also placed an order with a different supplier since they stocked it in a US warehouse, which means faster delivery—I just can't wait 😋😆🤦🏻
 
Wish I could reply to other threads. I bought from a vendor I won’t name, the one everybody keeps going on about. Got tracking on the 5th, but FedEx still hasn’t gotten the package or anything. I’ve tried contacting them several times and gotten nothing back.

There are plenty of other sections where you're able to post and reply (provided sources aren't being discussed), so it seems you haven't searched thoroughly enough.
