RETA 2.5 MONTHS IN… WOW
Many of you guys on this subreddit saw my first post, but I’m keeping my promise and updating you all on my journey🏋️♂️
I’m officially 2.5 months in, and honestly I couldn’t be happier or more proud of myself. I started at 272 lbs at 5’8” and 22 years old. Today I weighed in at 228.9 lbs… or 229, but 228.9 sounds better 😂
A lot of you are probably gonna ask about dosing. You can check my previous post for more details, but personally I like using the lowest effective dose possible. I started at 0.5mg for a week and felt fine, so I thought jumping to 2mg the next week was a smart idea since I had zero side effects on 0.5mg and clinical trials started people out at 2mg…
Yeah huge mistake 😂
2mg absolutely destroyed me. Throwing up, diarrhea, sulfur burps it was miserable. After that I dropped down to 1mg and stayed there for 3 weeks. TBH that felt perfect for me. Barely any side effects and solid appetite suppression.
This past Sunday I tried 1.5mg for the first time because I noticed on shot day the food noise was loud but the hunger was quiet. But when I injected 1.5mg it’s still a little too much for me. Not nearly as bad as 2mg though. I wasn’t throwing up or anything but I still dealt with nausea, sulfur burps, and diarrhea for the first 2–3 days after the shot. So next week I’m going back down to 1mg to get my half-life in my system a bit lower and then the week after I’ll probably try 1.25mg instead.
Everyone’s different though, so take my experience with a grain of salt. I’m just trying to find that sweet spot and stay there.
Overall, I’m down 43 lbs while staying on a pretty low dose. I also lift weights 5 days a week. I honestly don’t even do cardio i’m still a fat boy at heart and hate cardio. So luckily lifting works way better for me personally.
I don’t really cheat on my diet either because greasy food completely nukes my stomach now. Fried food and fast food are basically off limits. So I mostly cook at home things like tilapia, chicken, rice, corn, sweet potatoes, stuff like that. Usually just 2 meals a day or whenever i’m hungry.
I’m going to Florida for the first time in 2 months, so I’m trying to lean out more and get rid of the love handles a bit. My goal weight is somewhere around 170–180, but honestly if I look like a beast at 190–200, I’m cool with that too 😂
I will check back in with y’all in 2 months and see how i’m doing then! Ive also been on KLOW for 1 month now and my skin and hair has definitely improved. My barber said my hair was thicker which makes me feel more confident that it’s working.
Thank you for reading and keep working out and being a better version of yourself everyday! 🙏💙💛
