Hello, I started reta on 06/10 and dropped 13 pounds within the first 3 weeks. After that, I've only shed 3 more pounds. I was dealing with some heart problems—something I'm already predisposed to—that I needed to sort out. On top of that, pushing myself to consume so much protein caused serious problems; I felt awful, so I've gone back to my usual intake, which isn't very high. For me, electrolytes twice daily are non-negotiable. I've just moved up to 1.5 mg. Back when I lost all that weight, I was taking .5 every 3 days, and when I attempted to go to .75, I experienced a couple of really severe heart episodes. I don't know yet what my schedule will look like at 1.5 mg....I'm just going by how I feel, I suppose. Maybe I'd like to reach 2 mg once a week. But I'm also concerned that the purchase I began in July is garbage. That's everything for now—I've picked up a great deal and I'm already pleased with my weight loss, but I still have at least 20 more pounds to lose before I'm at the right weight for my height.
