6 week difference ! Starting to see good results ! Feeling amazing ! My peptide protocol is almost fully optimized ! Training on point , nutrition dialled in, recovering fast ! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
( using only peptides - 6 stack) not just Reta but nothing else .
I still can’t believe how far I’ve come—from 245 down to 143! I know I’ve still got more to go, but I’m really proud of the progress so far. I’ve been putting in serious work with both cardio and strength training, along with maintaining a decent diet
Here’s my attempt😄, I lost 90% of the weight naturally, and took Reta/GHK-CU/MT-2 in the final sprint, genuinely life changing for me.
I didn’t want to exist 3 years ago, 3 years down the line I’m excited for what life’s gonna bring me, being a fat 17 year old in England isn’t easy on the confidence lads🤣🤣
A heart attack at 16 was definitely the catalyst for this, not normal for any 16 year old
Open to any questions and more then happy to give advice, I hope people can feel the same as I can. Below is my weight stats!
Started at 140kg/22 stones/308 lbs Age 17
Now 72kg/11 stone 4lbs/158 lbs Age 21
Reta is amazing. Life=changed.
I’m a nurse, I feel like wanting to take Reta goes against everything I’ve ever learned. Obviously it actually doesn’t, but I feel shame and guilt for even considering it. I need some other nurses or health care workers to ground me. I’m really against the current healthcare system in the USA and think it’s absolutely absurd how much pharmaceutical companies charge for GLP1s and medications in general. I think this is why I’m really considering going gray, but I’m really having a mental battle with myself. Anyone else go through this?
This is kind of crazy for me to post. The big girl in this picture was beat down, tired, and yet at the time of taking this picture, I didn't think I was over weight. I just thought I was tired.
I lost 50lbs in my own through diet and exercise but due to hormones and inflammation I just couldn't lose the last bit fat. I went on Reta and the fat came off within months. I've never felt better, more energy, and I feel younger.
However, I have some loose skin around my belly from weight and two kids. If anyone has any suggestions or things that have worked for their saggy skin, let me know. I'm fairly certain surgery is it, but I'd rather not. Hoping there is a miracle laser out there! Currently on Reta for 3 months now and lost another 20lbs ! Taking 4mg weekly.

I was talking to my doctor about how I can't afford Zepbound out of pocket anymore since my insurance dropped it, and I brought up the idea of just sourcing Retatrutide online so I don't lose my progress. Since Reta isn't even FDA approved yet, she obviously had to give me the standard CYA lecture about how it's an unregulated research chemical, the clinical trials aren't finished, and buying from the grey is super dangerous. But right after doing her legal duty, she literally told me that if she were in my exact situation, she’d be exploring these same exact options too. That really stuck with me. It’s wild that even actual medical professionals clearly understand why we have to go underground for this stuff, even if they can't officially endorse it. Should I just take the hint and make the jump to Reta as long as I'm smart about verifying the third party testing?
-19kg in 4 months.
Strict diet (wasn’t hard at all) actually it was very pleasant to do not have food noise and being able to just live my life without worrying about NEEDING eat. Ofc I still ate but just when it’s time.
45 min of cardio 5-7 days/week + 3 days on the gym at the beginning, now I’m doing 5.
I did really low doses starterd on 1.5mg > 2mg > 1.5mg > 0.5mg them I stopped.
Starting at 1.5 was a mistake I should go for 1mg or 0.5mg once sometimes I got reflux at night when I lay down for sleep. Further I realized that the reflux was 100% connected to the timing and food choices I made on the last meal of the day. Staying lowcarb was the sweet spot for me, and it’s really easy to keep the diet when you have Reta on.
The diet + fasting was by far the most important thing. In my opinion starting low carb them switching to ceto them back to low carb again helped a lot to rapidly lose the first pounds.
Side effects: my hair started falling down in chunks on the 3rd month. I my caloric deficit was too agressive and I was not getting the right amount of macros and micros. I have changed my diet and stopped taking it but my hair still not the same, I do not have bald spot and my hair still good tho, just felt way more them I expected, But I think it’s easily fixable with diet and supplements.
I’m 350 was 400 and I just started Reta. Now I was wondering if it could be a good stack for me if I also add cjc 1295 ipamorelin
2nd week on Ret, and the fatigue hit me HARD. I don't seem to have other side effects that bad, but I'm falling asleep on the couch.
Does this pass or anything I can do to counteract it?
Edit: Looks like Carbs+electrolytes. :D
I ordered my reta from china.. the package came to US.. went thru the customs.. got to my state in two weeks...
Now suddenly USPS tracking says “counterfeit postage” during last-mile delivery 🤦♂️
Has anyone seen this before? Does it get returned or can I still recover it?
Started my GLP 3 journey September 2025. So about 7 months ago. Currently at 12mg per week. (I know a lot)…
Full transparency, also did 250mg of Test a week.
Resistance training 6 days a week and tried to get 10k steps at least 3 times a week. The first half was consistent weight loss and crazy food suppression. Later half, food suppression diminished and by mid January / February, I feel like I hit a weight loss plateau as I got closer to the lower 200s.
My original GW was 200, but my current body composition, I still have a good amount of belly fat in my mid-section. Probably sounds like I have body dysmorphia and not giving credit to the insane weight loss, but I still feel like there is stomach fat to be lost.
Considering tesamorelin as an option. But I also think I might switch to maybe triz? Tried finding posts where ppl switch from Reta to another GLP, but couldn’t find many.
My goal is to have a smaller, waist, so of course focusing more on lower back workouts is on the table. Maybe more cardio? I’ve only done walking on incline at the gym.
Overall, wondering what I can do next, in this “stubborn belly fat” phase of my journey. Thank you for reading! :)
Started on 1mg and titrated up to my current 2.5mg every 5 days. I started at 85kg and currently at 69kg. This shit is fucking amazing
Hi all! 39F here - and am finally on Reta maintenance! I lost about 50 or so pounds in the last 9 months and hoping I can hold on to 4mg maintenance from here on out.
For those wondering, I also have AOD, Tesa, SS-31, and MOTSC in my stack. I highlyyyyy recommend looking into those as they have all really played a part in getting me here! Just the energy on SS-31 alone….cant recommend enough!
Does it seem that I’m losing too fast or is this right on track?
my dad caught me taking reta and confiscated it with all the the syringes and bac water. he did some googling and he thinks its dangerous for me, and now he claims that he got rid of em all. I'm 20, asian(explains why I'm living with parents) and I think being around 300 lbs is dangerous for me more than anything, what do I do now? obviously whatever he did was in good intentions as he doesn't want me to have any sort of long term side effects but reta was really helpful in my weightloss journey, it's been over a week now and I am gaining weight rapidly idk why but I gained like 2lbs since I stopped taking it
I know my haters that watch Reddit and be itching to be the smartest one in the room, the know it alls or just the negative Nancie’s will find a way to bash me but oh well!
Crazy to me how 1 month of TIRZ cost us. Literally just had a nurse I work with tell me she was paying $450 monthly for 4 shots a month. THEY don’t want us healthy that’s most peoples insurance won’t cover it. They 100% get their stuff over seas! Those same labs source out the same product. I can only imagine how much RETA is about to be once it’s fully FDA approve I’d bet $800 plus a month if not more because people get even more healthier. This give us the opportunity to take control while we can and get in the best shape of our lives! That’s why it’s blowing up.
I find in groups 1 case (5-6 months) worth for just 220. Husband same group for the one in trials still 1 case (7-8 months worth) for 250.
For once I have control. I can think about my favorite food and get no reaction! Life changing.
Just wanted to ask about your experience.
How fast did you start losing weight on Retatrutide? Did it happen in the first week or after a few weeks?
And how much weight did you lose in the first month?
Trying to know what to expect. Thanks!
Hi guys! For anyone who’s on Reta and cant eat much but is trying not to lose their muscle only body fat what do you usually eat?
My husband was part of the Triumph trial (Reta). Lost 130 pounds very easily over the 24 months (he had the extension). He’s now gained 30 pounds back while on Zepbound and doesn’t feel as good anymore. Has anyone heard of the FDA approval timeline. All I can find is 2026.
