Oh yeah, I forgot you are in Florida. I'm in Virginia.. I have always been averse to humid heat. I was born in one of the hottest countries of the world, Kuwait, but the heat there is dry. Humidity is the real killer.. When that wet bulb temperature crosses 30, I call it hell.

What part? Was just there a few weeks ago?

in virginia? It's as shown in my profile... Colonial Heights..this tiny suburb just north of Petersburg.

Yes, ok duhhh (long day & week). How far is it from Ashland?

My biggest tip since starting 2 months ago is be very consistent with the day you take it, and actually track what you eat. It is SO easy to overeat and underestimate your calories, even on this med.

What dose are you on?

 

[Smiter]

This time being a Varrior didn't come with the most insane sides I got last time...acne pimples on the scalp..I have been taking Anastrazole every 3 days.

I have spent the last ten days hesitating, procrastinating, deliberating, and wasting. Due to the shutdown/seizure, I couldn't bring myself to start using Reta. I only have 3 vials I got locally. Finally, my Fvck it gene kicked in, today I reconstituted and stabbed Reta in. I started with 1mg. I messed up using the filter so am sure the dose wasn't kosher, but screw it.YOLO.

Does anybody have any tips, apart from getting a will done? I am 253lbs now. I will of course put updates when they're worthy of mention.

Anyway, I'm officially a Retatrudite now. Let the games begin!

Congrats - sorry I’m relatively late to the party, still may be helpful to share:

For context, 50 yo male 6’0, SW 241.2 July 2024 / CW 190 / GW 175

Transitioned from 92 shots of Tirz a month ago, last dose 12mg, started Reta a month ago

My first dose knowing I was highly respondent to Tirz was 1mg, this became my dosing schedule over the last four weeks:

Week 1: 1mg

Week 2: 1mg

Week 3: 2mg (1mg 2x weekly)

Week 4: 3mg (1mg 1x, 2mg 1x)

Week 5: 4mg (unsure whether I go 1x or 2x)

My big lesson learned is I didn’t really feel appetite control literally until today. My first second weekly shot of Reta (2mg), putting me on path to being 4mg next week.

I took the dosage from the minimum dosage from the phase 3 trial data, released yesterday by Lilly.

I’m definitely feeling a more pronounced appetite governor with the higher dose (2mg 2x per week, total of 4mg) so I intend to stay here as long as I can.

That schedule is the only advice I can give you at this early stage, all other things being equal:

Ex: Make sure you do resistance training, get your body’s weight in protein grams, stay in consistent calorie deficit, track intake, get 150 oz of water every day, get good sleep.

sorry I’m relatively late to the party, still may be helpful to share:

Welcome, and thank you. Yeah I'm thinking of split dosing.

I had my 4th dose yesterday at 1.5mg.

That schedule is the only advice I can give you at this early stage, all other things being equal:

Thank you.

Make sure you do resistance training

easily done.

get your body’s weight in protein grams

not at all easily done.

track intake

next to impossible.

get good sleep

beyond impossible for me. I have forgotten what that feels like.

欢迎，谢谢。是的，我正在考虑分次服用。

昨天我服用了第四剂，1.5毫克。

谢谢。

很容易做到。

一点也不容易做到。几乎

不可能。

对我来说完全不可能。我已经忘了那是什么感觉了。

蛋白质——找到一款你喜欢的预制蛋白奶昔，这是最快捷、最轻松的化不可能为可能的方法。我最喜欢的优质蛋白奶昔在 Costco 有售，18 罐 32 美元，每罐 160 卡路里，含 30 克蛋白质。

追踪——在苹果或安卓设备上下载 Lose It 应用，它或许能改变你对“几乎不可能”的看法。

化不可能为可能的关键在于控制勃起，而这只有在你找到合适的剂量时才能实现。一旦达到目标，你就有空间去做出各种行为上的改变。4

毫克是我第一次服用 Reta 时感受到这种效果。你也会成功的

 

[Smiter]

所有化不可能为可能的，都是对悬挂的控制。

我现在服用了一些补品，包括莫达非尼、Asia Black 25 燃脂剂和欣快剂，确实能达到那种效果。

我使用乳清蛋白粉是为了补充我每天所需的30克胶原蛋白。

所以，我现在也像现实世界一样，成了这里的一员了。这才是理所当然的。嗯。

过去十天我一直在犹豫、拖延、深思熟虑，白白浪费时间。由于疫情封锁/癫痫发作，我一直没能鼓起勇气开始使用瑞塔。我只有三瓶本地买的。终于，我的“管他呢”基因爆发了，今天我把瑞塔溶解后注射了进去。我一开始只用了1毫克。我用过滤器的时候搞砸了，所以剂量肯定不对，但管他呢，人生苦短，及时行乐。

除了立遗嘱之外，还有什么建议吗？我现在体重253磅（约115公斤）。当然，如果有什么值得一提的进展，我会更新的。

总之，我现在正式成为一名瑞塔信徒了。好戏开场！

等等，我们需要过滤器吗？

 

[Smiter]

等等，我们需要过滤器吗？

我看到很多人推荐它，说是可以清除内毒素。我第一次用过滤器的时候就累得不行，所以我想我以后都不会再用了。

 

[BNLFL]

过滤很简单。最多也就多花五分钟吧？我和我老婆99%的情况下都是一次混合两瓶。一点也不脏乱，而且我还会把多余的液体也过滤掉。你只需要几个便宜的鲁尔锁注射器和一个过滤器就行了。

 

[GrandmaJ]

我看到很多人推荐它，说是可以清除内毒素。我第一次用过滤器的时候就累得不行，所以我想我以后都不会再用了。

稍作更正，我们进行的是无菌过滤。有人在试管里发现过毛发、蚂蚁，还有不知名的东西。过滤成本低廉，有助于降低风险。内毒素无法过滤掉，所以现在越来越多的人开始进行内毒素检测。检测和过滤是确保在这个充满灰色地带的世界里尽可能安全的两项措施。

 

[BNLFL]

Just a small correction, we filter for sterility issues. People have found hairs, ants, and who knows what in their vials. Filtering is cheap and helps mitigate risk. You can't filter out endotoxins, that is why more people are starting to test for them now. Testing and filtering are two things that keep as as safe as possible in the gray world.

Yep. All the GB (a bunch) I do, are doing Endo testing now too.

Protein - find a premade protein shake you like, that’s the quickest and most painless way to make impossible possible, my favorite premier protein found @ Costco, $32 for 18, includes 30g in a 160 calorie shake

Tracking - download Lose It on Apple or Android, another that might change your mind on “next to impossible”

The key to all the making impossible possible is control of hung which you will only achieve when you hit the right dose. Once you’re there, you’ll have the space to make all the behavioral changes.

4mg is the first I’ve felt this with Reta. You’ll get there

+1 on LoseIt. Been using that app for like 5 years now. Some stuff is just impossible to accurately log without being able to weigh it, but I feel it gets the job done well most of the time. And yes, since finding some good protein shakes I’m hitting my 140-160g/day goal without much trouble.

+1 fo your +1 on need a $10 digital food scale, just used it to portion my home cooked meal prep, practice I only would have thought of thanks to Lose It.

Why? Tracking Metrics like I did on Lose It! made me want to find Healthy meal prep, which I outsourced for a long time, and now insourcing. Amazing the virtuous cycle that occurs when you have better data.

I used to track by rough guesstimating and sending myself an email on my blackberry … or by hand on a notepad .. so yea, it’s gotten orders of magnitude easier, even I can manage to do it daily

My scales work great for meal prep, but I always get funny looks when I bring them to the restaurant and ask the waiter to place my meal on the scale.
