Hey there, a reddit comment is how this community got found, though a vial of reta from a coworker had already been bought. A little about me: 27yo male, 5'6, always more heavyset and never a fan of exercise. Doctors always said lose weight or a heart attack at 40 was coming. A physical last May showed A1C of 6.4, and a November one came in at 7.1. Asking pcp about ozempic or mounjaro got me told insurance wouldn't approve it since my diabetes wasn't high enough, and going without insurance was going to be very expensive. 260lbs was the highest weight, about 6 months ago. About 10lbs came off from food poisoning a month ago, and then came my first pin of reta on april 18. A 2mg weekly dose to start with, and noticeable progress is already showing. Walks with my dogs happen every night now, mornings are a protein shake, lunch is chicken or steak with veggies, dinner is rice with chicken/steak/fish with veggies. Today I sit at 231lbs. Goal weight is 180.
