Thanks. Yeh i might increase for next dose to 1.5mg or 2mg.Danger1212 said:At 1mg Reta, you’re still at a pretty low dose, so it’s not surprising you’re not seeing much movement yet. Some people don’t really respond until they titrate up.
If everything else (food, activity) has been consistent, I’d just call this a holding pattern not a setback.
Impressive!! Keep up the Great Work!desinr-gal said:
That’s a really solid run. And honestly, the fact you pulled it back down after creeping up is huge. Most people don’t.RascalRaccoon said:
That's a crazy good run. Dropping from 260 to 172 in that time is no joke. And yeah... that "who tf is this" feeling is real. Takes a while for your head to catch up with what you're seeing.Mayostardayonnaise said:SW: 260
CW: 172
Timeframe: July ‘25 to today
Protocol: 1 month of compound Tirz at 2.125 mg, then grey Tirz one month each at 3.5, 5, 5, and I’ve been at 6 mg since November ‘25.
GW: 160 eventually, if I stay at 172 for a long time that’s probably for the best. Man this sure does feel weird when I look in the mirror. Who tf is this? I’m now trying to decide how to go about attempting to reduce the dose.
“That’s a crazy good run” - you have no idea how good it feels to hear that from a stranger! Thank you. I have to tell myself that yeah, I did just lose that much weight. It feels so weird to lose that much without all the pain, suffering and failures.Danger1212 said:

That’s what this group is for, encouragement, to help and support, and giving credit where it’s due. You put in the work and it shows. Sometimes it takes hearing it from other people before it really sinks in.Mayostardayonnaise said:“That’s a crazy good run” - you have no idea how good it feels to hear that from a stranger!

Thanks for the kind words and positive encouragement!

I'm new here and just starting out. This low and slow approach was exactly how i planned to go into it. There are so many ways people make it work for themselves and it's had me questioning my plans so it's good to see success from my origianl thoughts. When it comes to working out I tend to go all out for a little while and then fall into a pit of nothingness. WIth that being the case I'm trying to implement slow changes in that regard too hoping they can stick.Danger1212 said:I Started Reta research at 2 mg and I’m coming up on week 4. I’m still undecided whether to follow the Lilly 2–4–6 titration or just increase as needed. So far I’m losing about 2.5 lbs per week, which feels pretty optimal. I do go back and forth after reading posts about glucagon effects at higher doses and people saying the “sweet spot” is 6–8 mg, but it’s hard to argue with the results I’m getting right now.
Sides: No issues with food noise, but I am wide awake after about 4 hours of sleep
I too am honestly blown away by how well this works.
Adding workouts seems to take it to another level. I’ve definitely been guilty of turning my home gym into a second job, but like you said, settling into a sustainable 3–4 day per week routine feels like the right move.
Appreciate you sharing. I’m still an excited newbie here trying to soak it all in.
Best of luck to you, and looking forward to seeing how your journey progresses!
