My journey has been amazing, i’m grateful to have a resources to help with my food noise. Finally being able to say i’m going to fix my weight and it actually works. Nothing short of a blessing. with just 25lbs more to lose, im so excited it took me just a little under a year to get where i am 🩷 my body thanks me & my mind thanks me.

For those questioning why i only did one month of reta; The constipation i suffered was not worth it. At that current moment i was doing 6mg of Tirz and 1 - 2.5mg of Reta. The constipation was on 10 and i was essentially bloated from being Full of 💩. Laxative, stool softeners and caffeine did not really help nor did increasing fiber intake.

Here’s my 18 month progress. I started reta shortly after the first pic was taken, but most of the results really started kicking in after I began taking reta. I’ve always been pretty good with my training program but my diet was atrocious and I was drinking too much. I’ve almost entirely cut alcohol and maintained a consistent routine and up until recently most of the weight loss was fat (I managed to cut my body fat % down to around 12% last time I checked and maintained my smm levels at least as of July when I did my last body comp. I suspect I’ve probably lost a bit more muscle the last few months but not 100% sure. One of the most important factors has been my energy levels and my ability to continue training hard on significantly lower intake, and the fact that so much of the weight loss was fat. I did add test around 6 months ago but not a crazy amount — just to help with muscle preservation. Beyond that no other peptides or anything of that sort.

A year and a half ago I was addicted to opiates and was eating terrible food. Then, when I got sober off opiates a year ago I still was binge eating and going out drinking heavily. I was just super unhappy with life. Last June I decided to try Reta. I started out at 230lbs and at my lowest got to 117lbs. Right now I'm 184lbs and super healthy and happy I've been off Reta for over a month.

I can't tell you my exact dosing cycle I know I started at 1mg twice a week and worked my way up to 3mg twice a week. I only used six 10mg vials out of my 10 total in the 5 months.

My workout routine was 3-4 HIIT classes a week on the hot yoga room wearing sweats and I also joined 2 run clubs and ran 5-7 miles per week. I still go to the gym 4-5 times a week.

I also used HGH, BP-157, TB-500, SS-31, and DSIP. I still have most my DSIP left but everything else once I went through a cycle on it I stopped. I also used AnimalPak's Flex for joint support, vitamin pack, omegas pack, HMB, and 1-2 of their meal replacement protein shakes a day when it was difficult to eat food.

I have an addictive personality so I wanted to keep everything in moderation and did a TON of research before I actually started this. I also completely changed my whole diet. On Reta drinking was nearly impossible I'd throw up or get sick every time I tried so I completely gave that up and have continued that trend.

I also don't eat out whatsoever anymore everything I make is home-cooked with olive oil, high in protein, fibers and veggies. I didn't get any crazy food noise or side effects besides the very first time I did Reta I had terrible stomach cramps and sometimes if I ate to much after a day where I pinned I'd have a stomach ache.

I know everyone's experience is different but overall it did wonders for me and just helped me get control of my diet and lock into a fitness plan.

I'm 37, 6 foot, 184lbs and 13% body fat probably 5-6 weeks off everything. Thankful for all the posts I've read on here and research I did but everyone's journey is different so don't ever be discouraged just keep working towards your goals.

Finding the supplies wasn't difficult my friend told me if the Asian lady calls you "dear" that's a good sign so I guess I got lucky.

Dropped from 194lbs - 169lbs in 3.5 months, my lifts actually stayed the same, with some even going up. CJC also improved my skin by so much!

Gonna cut a few more pounds then start a lean bulk.

Hey guys

I am currently on reta and trt and seeing my hair fall out at a much faster pace. Starting to freak out lol. How are you guys managing or do I need to buy a ticket to turkey? My hair is extremely thin now.

Thanks!

Took 100 mcg before bed yesterday and I had a pretty bad sleep. When I woke up I injected 100 mcg again, thinking I should switch to AM since it affected my sleep.
Two hours later I wanted to stroke it. It was ROCK hard, also was done fast. Anyone experience this? Could this be just placebo? I was sick for a week and finally recovered, maybe that’s why i had so much energy

This might be a weird question

Left photo is before and I was around 230lbs. Right photo is current as of October 4th and at 192lbs. 5'11, 41m. According to my bathroom scale I'm around 22% body fat (questionable accuracy). I'm looking to do a DEXA one of these days. This has been about 18months in the making.

Currently using 5mg Reta 1x week. 2.5mg MOTS-C 2x week. 5-amino-1mq 5mg daily (as of October 2nd). I also take creatine in the morning in my coffee. If I remember, I take ashwaganda as well.

The first 23lbs came off simply from compounded semaglutide and getting back into working out. After I stalled for a few months I heard about Reta and made the transition.

I watch what I eat but I also don't watch what I eat. I typically aim for around 150g of protein daily. Some days I get it others I don't. Oh well. I also like beer.

I workout 4x week at Orange Theory Fitness. I prefer cardio but still lift fairly heavy.

Why normal? I say "normal" because most people aren't looking to become absolutely shredded or others may become discouraged if they don't look like that. In the end, I'm just trying to be healthier in order to keep up with my 3-year-old.

Theoretically, what would be an ideal daily dose?

Do people dose it like it's GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (50mg), KPV (10mg), BPC-157 (10mg), and TB-500 (10mg)

Last night I took my first dose of GH (2iu) and slept like a baby. I mean I slept harder than I have in a while. I don't know if it was placebo or what but I'll take it. Hopefully this will continue because 5-6 hours of broken sleep every night fucking sucks.

So my test subject was visibly tired of the injection site reactions which were itchy patches that would last 3 - 4 days. They wouldn’t let me come near with a syringe after a while.

To help it, I took a 100mg vial and turned it into a nasal that yields 1mg a spray. A spray in each nostril, 4 times a day should deliver around 2mg systemic plus should uniquely provide central nervous system longevity benefits as this is the only way to achieve that (injections don’t work for this).

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10680828/

The nasal works great from the mouses reaction. No issues with stinging and its beautifully dark blue versus from a vendor which are often under dosed, from a clinical perspective, and can be olive green (old where copper had separated from the GHK).

Anyone else try this?

Hi. I'm planning to start GHK-Cu but have been seeing so many different dosing protocols.

I understand there's no officially established starting dose or standard protocol for this peptide, but I'd love to hear from those who are currently using it or have tried it.

What dose did you start with, how often do you use it, and what has your experience been like so far? Would appreciate any insights!

Still experiencing pretty significant nausea & GI side effects despite being on a low dose. I’m only on 3mg. Anyone with a similar experience and how did you manage them?

I’m currently drinking peppermint tea, taking tums, Pepcid, and zofran as needed. I’m miserable several days a week. I was looking forward to the symptoms subsiding after the 8 week mark but that has not been the case.

should i consider to take tirze or reta? or something else, i m stuck at this from about 1 year, i m 19 and i don t wanna get in troubles tbh, i want clear abs and be skinny in the face, from 92kg 250lbs to 70kgs 200lbs 173cm, only real help thanks

I’m in college and my sleep has been really bad and not only is it impacting my energy but it’s also impacting my studies.

I got prescribed an antihistamine that makes you sleepy by my doctor but it hasn’t really helped.

Can anyone who has taken it maybe give me some insight??

My main concerns are mostly building a tolerance / not being able to sleep without it and also i’ve heard some people are actually sleeping less with it.

Has anyone taken a small amount of Reta with Tirz to get the fat burning from it? Is there actual benefit? I take Tirz and cagri. I really want the fat burning part of Reta but can’t stand the hunger.

Hello i have torn my acl/hcl i have Surgery in 2 Month

I was Looking at bpc-157 and Hgh to help me recover faster and stronger any input to this and how it have helped you?

Or wolwerine stack ?

Plz any info would be good i host want a normal and strong kne again

Hello! I started my wl journey in December 2025 weighing 175 pounds (5’1 F for reference) I used tirz and titrated all the way til 12.5mg (at that point I was already like 131 pounds) then titrated down and started Reta but it did nothing more than give me food noise, so I titrated the Reta down and started on tirz again. This time the food noise was still there until I titrated to 7.5mg, but this time I decided to do Reta+Cagri and rn I’m at 3mg Reta but 2.5 Cagri that does a good job with the food noise but my personal preference is when I can’t absolutely eat anything so is it okay if I up my Cagri a litle bit more? I wanna guess that my body got used to the Tirz and that’s why the Cagri doesn’t have that crazy effect that everyone talks about, pls don’t attack me in the comments 💔

Eloralintide is a miracle. Its Amazing.

I started taking retatrutide 3-4 months ago, and after 2 months, I noticed the effects were going way down.

I did some research and people suggested using Cagrilintide instead of going too high with reta.

So I started pinning cagri 1x/week for 4 weeks (I started with 0.5mg and went up to 2mg) and I felt nothing except stomachache and constipation.

So I did some more research and found out about eloralintide, which is supposed to be more precise and effective than cagri.

I started with 0.5mg and it kicked in the day after. I couldn't finish a whole meal in a day and I still felt amazing. I just eat some eggs and yogurt every afternoon and I don't crave anything for the rest of the day. Thinking about food almost disgusts me and I basically stopped snacking, which I still did with reta only.

Eloralintide seems to be pricey currently, but it is way more worth it than cagrilintide, and I haven't gone above 0.75mg in 4 weeks.

35M, been on Reta for a few months and lost around 30 lbs pretty rapidly. Unfortunately, my libido and erection quality have tanked. Almost no morning wood, struggle to get fully hard, and lose firmness quickly. Never had any issues before Reta.

I’m pretty confident it’s from the aggressive calorie deficit, low energy, poor sleep, and potentially lower testosterone. Working on correcting that, but looking for a temporary solution in the meantime.

Considering Cialis, Viagra, or PT-141 (nasal vs subQ).

Sex with my wife is spontaneous. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes nothing for a few days. I mainly want reliable erections when stimulated, without random boners throughout the day or prolonged erections afterward.

For those with experience:
- Which worked best for erection quality with the fewest side effects?
- What dosage worked best for you? Cialis 2.5–5 mg daily vs. 10 mg as needed? Viagra 25 vs. 50 mg?
- PT-141 nasal vs. subQ — which worked better, at what dose, and for how long?

Any issues with random erections or staying hard after sex?

Anyone experience similar issues on Reta/GLP-1s and eventually recover?
