Hey everyone. I’m 45, in the US, and roughly 2 years back I made up my mind that my health needed some genuine changes. I began watching what I ate more closely, added exercise and strength training, and in time began using tirzepatide. The results were really good, and that success pushed me to keep going even harder on the lifestyle side.
All told I’m down about 30 pounds, and about 10 pounds away from where I want to end up. This April, after reading quite a bit about retatrutide and what it might offer, I chose to try reta.
Reta has absolutely been a journey. Trying to work out the best dose for me has meant ups, downs and a lot of plateaus. Honestly, the lower doses didn’t appear to accomplish much, and at points I questioned whether switching away from tirzepatide had been the right call. Once I reached 5 mg, though, a real difference finally showed up and it felt like things were turning around. I’ve just hit 6 mg. Some side effects have come along the way, but thankfully none were terrible or beyond what I could handle.
By now, dropping the final 10 pounds isn’t my only goal. I want to keep building better eating habits, stay steady with strength training, and turn this into something sustainable for the long haul. I want to feel better, stay healthy and active as I age, and hopefully do what I can to overcome some not-so-great genetics.
I’d really like to hear how reta has gone for other people, particularly which doses worked for them and what their journey has been like. I’m also keen to learn more about other peptides in general. There’s a ton of information out there, so I’m hoping to learn from people who have actually been through it.
Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from everyone.
