Hey everyone - I'm in my mid 30's, based in NY, and I've just fallen down the peptide rabbit hole lately. I recently began Reta, and it's been a huge help in keeping me consistent with a strict diet - something I've managed many times before, though only for limited stretches.

My starting point is 205 lbs at 26% BF (dexa), and my goal is to reach the teens for the first time in 10 years. I had full bloodwork done to set a baseline; LDL came back high, but everything else was clean. I've been lifting 3x a week and getting 180 grams+ of protein, which becomes harder as the dosage climbs (currently on 1.5mg to start). Luckily, the only issue has been mild constipation.

I think I've put in the right prep work to make this a successful run with Reta as an aide, and I'm eager to pick up more from the experienced people here about this amazing world.
