1st shot 5/25

[BNLFL]

just did my 2nd pin on sunday. 1mg.

i really cant tell if its working or not. i guess its a good sign that i dont fee any side effects.

Pretty low of a dose, do what @birdwhacker. Or stay on that for 4 weeks total to let it build up in your system. Then bump up to 2mg.

I wasn't talking about you BNLFL! I meant people who aren't as cool as you. You're one of the good ones!

Can we tell my wife that brother?

You see, I really can't recommend 1mg except maybe for people who're really really sensitive or who already have their appetite/diet under control.

I've watched two people in my family start at 1mg and go up to 2mg after 4 weeks. It strikes me as a very creative way to waste your time and fuck up the drug's effectiveness for the future.

One of them, my mom, had to go up to 6mg a week from 4mg because 5mg didn't do enough for her. I think 1mg desensitizes you to the drug very quickly. You only need 1-2 weeks to acclimate to it and 3-4 weeks to get over most of the side effects.

Practice I guess. I started on 2mg. The ones that kill me, and I've commented to them. The .25, .5 and .75 ones. No idea where they get this info to start on these doses. Obviously never read the Lilly trials.

Yeah people heard "lowest effective dose" and thought that meant microdose.

In reality, it means titrate quickly to a dose that works for you and stay there as long as it works.

Down 5lbs in 6 days? To much weight loss to fast.

I agree for the first week thats alot but giving up 2 MtDos a day he would have probably lost that without Reta. Myself and several friends gave up coke and we all lost give or take 20lbs in a month.

It's generally water loss those first couple weeks.

It is my opinion that injecting reta once a week is idiotic. Reta's appetite suppression wears off after 4-5 days. I inject every three days and I pity everyone who waits more than 5 days between injections. Anyone who tells you that this is bad information is wrong and should feel bad

Everyone is different. I inject 1 time every 7 days Lost 30lbs on 1mg a week over 8 weeks. I stopped for a month and have started back 2 weeks now I have lost 6lbs. Now I must say before I started I had been eating carnivore for 4 months and had lost 20-25lbs so my diet was good when I started out on Reta I have not noticed it dropping off after 4-5 day. also I have never used more than 1mg. I guess I am a good responder. BTW not saying your info is wrong it's just everyone is different. You are giving good info I take no issue with it other than you make it sound as the only way.

You see, you're the exception. That's awesome progress. I wasn't talking about you, I meant the riff raff!

But also... I think you would have had the exact same progress if your dose had been split up! whereas the same can't be said in the other direction
