Hi everyone, my name is Pieter and I'm from the Netherlands. I've been carrying extra weight for a while, and I'm finally ready to do something about it. Right now I'm digging into how everything works. My plan is to post about my own journey so that we can all pick up knowledge together and improve 💪

Thanks! How has your journey been up to now? Since joining here, what caught you off guard the most? Do you only take reta, or do you also use other things?

I agree, there’s a lot to take in, though it does help. For the time being I’m sticking with reta. I’m not obese in any way, yet this belly fat refuses to budge. Just once, I’d like to see some abs on myself. What differences have you noticed in your life since you started using these ingredients?
 
Hi there, plenty of us have gotten a lot out of this forum. It's a solid spot to begin. My 2nd Reta kit just arrived. The crypto part gave me the most trouble, but after you figure it out, it's easy.

For the majority of my grown-up years, my weight and obesity have been a constant battle. Food ruled my thoughts — I was a compulsive, obsessive overeater. What would my next meal be? When could I eat? How much would I allow myself? That kind of loop, over and over. Then I began GLPs, and the food noise vanished entirely. Hours would pass and not one thought about eating crossed my mind. The moment I grasped what had changed, I broke down. It felt as though a massive burden had been taken off my back.

With that mental clutter gone, I could finally notice and respond to my own hunger signals. These days I eat when hungry and quit before feeling stuffed. No more bingeing, no more pulling into a drive-thru for a reward after a rough day. I feel liberated. As if some wicked sorcerer's spell had been broken. Honestly, thinking about it gets me emotional — I'm deeply grateful for this.

Sure, I dropped a significant amount of weight, but truthfully that part was just extra. Even if I hadn't shed a single pound, I'd still take GLPs, purely because of the calm it's given my mental health by freeing me from thinking about food EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT.

Appreciate you asking. 🙂
 
Hey, I've been on Reta for about 5 weeks too, and so far it's been a good ride! Previously I was on Wegovy, but Reta hits harder, so the weight has been coming off consistently. All the best to you
