Hey everyone, I'm 24 and female, and right now I'm on 1.5mg of Reta. My start date was December of last year, and the results have been pretty solid — I've dropped roughly 10kg since beginning.

To be honest, last year was a really tough one for me. Antidepressants were part of my life, and I put on a significant amount of weight while on them — close to twice my previous size. Stress eating was a big issue, and I quit the gym entirely, so that only made things worse.

Reta has made a huge difference to my appetite since I began. Food crosses my mind far less often now, and I reach fullness way quicker than before. For example, a large milk tea is now too much for me to finish.

I went to see a doctor several times hoping for support, but the response was always the same — go see a nutritionist or dietitian. On top of that, weight loss meds in NZ cost a lot, so that added another obstacle.

A friend suggested Reta to me because both she and her ex had tried it with positive outcomes. That's basically the path that led me here, and it's where things stand for me today.
 
Nice work dropping 10kg — that's a big amount, so it seems like you're handling things really well.
