Hey all.

New member here.

The journey with retatrutide is already underway. 10 days in and sitting on 1mg/wk.

A former elite cyclist. ~72kg and under 10% was where I used to be, but much heavier and more robust is where I am now.

3kg came off last week, though a lot of changes got made during that same week.

91.5kg was the start, on the Sunday afternoon. A week later the scale read 88.4 ... 3.1kg down.

(201>194lbs in freedom units)

1mg Reta/wk alongside 500mcg BPC157/day.

Not that it's all the reta though.

The daily routine got a drastic change at the same time.

A whole week of clean eating and hydrating.

2200-2500kcals/day

180+g protein minimum/day

10g creatine/day

3L of water with electrolytes minimum/day

Nothing sugary or processed.

And the vits/minerals stack got remembered all week too!

Physical activity amounted to just 1 x 5mile run and a 60km cycle.

Increased RHR is one concern so far, along with HR/RPE going up during run/ride, sleep slightly disturbed with a lower sleep 'score', HRV decreasing and constant thirst plus dry mouth (peeing A LOT!!!)

Otherwise happy so far, and seeing where this goes and what else gets added is something I look forward to.

Tips for not looking like a pin cushion, or for bruising, are welcome 🙏

More about the experiences people are having as they titrate up is what I'm here to learn, plus first hand experiences with other peptides as part of a stack. and how they have interacted with reta. (GLOW/KLOW, SS31/MOTS-C, Tesa/Ipa, DSIP and so on)
