Hey hi hello!

I'm fairly fresh to this place, though peptides aren't totally new to me. First I dropped ~130lbs the traditional route, then a few years back I gave Tirzepatide a shot to shed the last 10lbs (sadly it didn't pan out; for a whole year I kept losing and regaining the same 5lbs). After exiting a physically abusive relationship, I put back on roughly ~25lbs beyond that, so I decided to try Semaglutide for around 6mos (result: 0.0lbs lost, though at least nothing was gained).

At last, about a month ago, I began Reta.. and weight is finally coming off! Nothing dramatic, but I'm beyond thrilled, since nothing else appeared to do the trick. I'm also working on getting my hormones tested (I'm 37, so finding a doctor who'd actually listen was a battle), and I hope that could be another piece of the puzzle.

Beyond Reta, I'm stacking GHK-cu (week 3) for stress-related hair thinning and small forehead wrinkles - which I'm LOVING so far, plus NAD+ 2x weekly.

My main reasons for joining are to keep learning and because I'm grey-curious. So, hi!
 
Hello Pocketvortex — glad you joined the forum — sounds like you're already well versed!! There are plenty of welcoming folks around — you'll pick up plenty — I'm in Canada & have been using peps for roughly 3 months — reta — wow that stuff really does the job, running the worlverine stack, ghk-cu, ss-31,dsip, aod 9604 , kpv, plus a couple more....they make a difference- a big difference.....and hgh is part of my routine as well...🙂
 
Hey Pocketvortex, that's quite a journey.

Really happy reta did the trick for you — my own first week starts now. Tirz is already part of my routine, for dropping weight as well as for serious inflammation issues following 2 operations last year. Curious to find out where this leads.

(Not pep-related at all, but I'm genuinely glad you 'escaped' — I've been in that place as well — and I simply felt like saying so.)
 
Congrats on your success! I would consider gaining and losing the same 5 pounds a good result, and not gaining weight is at least half the battle won.
