New to rta, need guidance

[niabiamia]

Hi everyone! I'm 18 years old, and I've struggled with binge eating since I was 13. My goal is to drop 10-20 lbs while building muscle. I decided to sign up here because the main problem is that it's so hard to find real help!

I began R roughly 3 weeks back, but I haven't noticed any change, so I'm guessing I was scammed.

Welcome to the forum. There's a huge amount of good information here! Simply browsing through things has taught me plenty. Don't be shy about asking questions!

Glad to have you here!

How much are you injecting, and how frequently?

Hi and welcome — I've also just begun reta. What dose are you on, and how frequently do you take it?

1mg was my dose for week 1

for week 2, I went with 1.5mg

2mg is what I took in week 3

I hope you weren't taken advantage of. Like you, I'm here to learn and expand what I know. My wife bought 40mg vials of reta...once we ran the numbers, it became clear that even splitting a single vial between us at the starting dose (1mg), the vial would expire long before we'd get through it on the planned schedule lol

Fingers crossed. And 40mg!!!!!! I wouldn't even risk 20 (that's just for me, since I'm the only one injecting). It wasn't a scam though, was it??!

With Reta, it's possible you won't notice anything at all. What's your appetite like? Any movement on the scale? Reta does a great job of making the body burn fat, but from what most people report, its appetite-suppressing effect isn't that strong — Tirz, for instance, does better on that front.

Sticking to the proper protocol matters, but patience matters just as much. How much are you taking, and when?

week 4 is almost here, and I've been increasing gradually to 2 mg

my hunger is exactly the same. i still get takeout, though ive been making an effort to choose better options. the scale is stuck too. is it a bad idea to run Tirz and reta together?

A scam? I doubt it, but I suppose time will tell haha

1mg was my dose for week 1

2mg is what I took in week 3

4mg is a much better level than what you're on now — that amount is really on the low side. Try increasing to 4mg and see how you handle it.

My own experience: 2mg gave me a hint of something, but 4mg is where it really worked. I've stayed at 4mg from that point on.
