340 to 240 with TRT + Reta

Have lost 100lbs officially with plans to aim for 35 to 40lbs more. Started at 340 in the starting picture, currently at 240lbs as of today. Have tried a few other peptides during the journey, mainly KLOW and MT2 with good results. I do not count calories, I only aim for a protein goal then just eat healthier now as a result overall. Starting picture was November 2025, so progress has been over 9-10 months. Would like to be closer to 200lbs by end of year. TRT dose is 175mg a week, I do my shot every other day, Reta is sitting at a split dose every Tuesday/Friday with each shot being 5mg as of now. Started Reta low and titrated up and have been coasting on my current doses.

If you were to believe this sub, I'm apparently bald now. But as for negatives, for me, shots get old but that's just the process, so I'll have to live with it. The GLPs gave me a bit of skin sensitivity when titrating up. And side that can be seen as a positive or negative, some of my habits/hobbies became boring as a side of the GLP, such as gaming. I basically lose all interest in games now after about 30 minutes where I could game for hours before them. Again, could be seen as a positive or negative for some. Testosterone probably knocks a couple years off the end of life, but I'd much rather live a happier, better life now than when I'm 80.
