I'm completely drawn in now. Out of nowhere, Reddit began showing me posts about folks shedding pounds with reta. My first move was finding a medspa close by, and I paid way too much for a 1-month supply of shots. Then I went deep into research, which brought me to this forum, and from there I ended up buying from the grey market. This community has been a huge help in figuring out which vendors to use, and I really enjoy reading about everyone's experiences.

Yeah, her "naturopath" scammed my stepmom out of $350 for 4 shots of reta with no labels. Our 3rd kid arrived in the mail today. Today I gave MotsC a try. I'd recommend it.
For the first 4 weeks I split doses at 2mg per week, and now in week 5 I'm switching to 2mg every 3 days. The first 3 weeks I dropped 12lb, at 4lb per week. During week 3 I was actually meeting protein goals as well, so it was purely fat. Week 4 brought a stalemate, but I appear leaner and feel confident the downward trend will continue.

Same situation here! My first experience was actually RX Tirz, which I got into after some encouragement from reddit. After I got going, I found out about the grey market, and it was like a door to a different universe — now I'm totally hooked

Seems like a familiar tale. I began at a medspa and spent too much, yet it helped me reach my target weight. At this point I'm concentrating on upkeep, but I don't want to keep spending excessively. So now I'm attempting to work out gray
So the medspa charged me $150 just for the initial consultation, and then another $400 for 4 syringes that the doctor instructed me to use weekly. He handed them over pre-filled inside a zip lock bag, told me to store them in the fridge, and said to inject once per week. My reaction was WTF, but I had already shown up and felt locked in, so I went along with it.
For the first injection, the doctor did it for me, though he mentioned I could handle the rest myself—or, if I was too nervous, I could come back and he would do them at no charge. That initial month, I dropped roughly 10-15 pounds. Finding grey market kits made me way happier, because there was no way I was going to keep paying $400 every month for these shots. Also, each one was a 1.5mg dose.

Figuring out which supplier to use was a real challenge. It took me months to sort that out.

Hi all! I'd like to tell you about my own journey with losing weight. I'm male, 36 years old, and 5 feet 9 inches. My weight was 186lb when I began reta in Oct 2025. These days I'm around 156lb, and I've finished losing weight. At this point I only take a small weekly maintenance dose. What I'd suggest is beginning with a low dose and not rushing to increase it. It does work really well, but time is something you have to allow it.
