My journey to lose weight began back in February, at which point I was 105 kg (231 lbs). As of today, my weight is 84 kg (185 lbs), so altogether I have shed 21 kg (46 lbs).
Peptides were also something I used for the very first time during this period. The one I have been using is retatrutide. During month 1, my starting amount was 2 mg per week, and I raised the dosage little by little as time went on. At present I am on 6 mg per week, and for me that dosage feels just right.
As far as my diet goes, clear whey protein has been my main go-to because it goes down easily and its taste is closer to juice than to a standard protein shake. On top of that, I have cut my carbohydrate intake considerably. On most days the only carbs I have are two potatoes, and the remainder of what I eat is salad and meat.
In my view, one of the largest benefits came from having quit candy and sugary snacks years ago, and that made the whole process far less difficult. All in all, I would estimate my daily intake to be roughly 1,800 calories per day, and I keep up a consistent training schedule.
I did not research much before purchasing my peptides from some random supplier. Once I became part of this GLP1Chat and went through other members' experiences, my outlook began to shift. It got me thinking about finding a different supplier down the road and maybe chipping in on testing that the community funds.
Even so, the peptides that came my way appear to have done a great job for me. Having read through some of the threads here, I genuinely came to feel somewhat like a guinea pig, since I grasped how limited my knowledge had been at the start regarding sourcing, quality control, and third-party testing. In hindsight, the risk I took was likely larger than I realized back then, though luckily everything has gone very well for me up to now.
Thanks to steady nutrition, routine training, and an approach I can keep up, I have managed to drop 21 kg (46 lbs) so far, and I am eager to keep moving forward.
