That’s a really good pace. I took tirz a few months ago for one month and lost 20 lbs that month bc my doctor prescribed a higher dose and I got so annoyed with all my coworkers asking how I was losing weight.maokai said:Averaging 2.25 lbs a week, down around 25 pounds in 12 weeks. Been pretty steady, weeks where it's lower I know for sure my weigh will be low due to family gatherings and such. Every week has been a loss even if very slight.



.5mg is pretty small in my opinion. I also think a small dose like that for your first time pin is super smart. I would try 1mg for a few weeks or so and see how you respond. I am not a doctor, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express a few days ago.BrandedBateman said:ive got a question I just started reta on Monday 0.5mg was my dose and I don't feel any different like zero and I'm planning on going to 1.5 or 1mg next week whats your guys thoughts, I weight 184 and want to go to 169-172lbs around to have a good lean base



I believe it takes 4 weeks to build up in your system, it was wise to start at 0.5 just to rule out any adverse effects. If you feel nothing though, then I'd advise going up to 1 mg and then staying there for 3 more weeks. And then maybe 2 mg after that if you still don't feel it. There's free apps like MeAgain where you enter you dose and you'll see how it builds up over that 4 weeks.BrandedBateman said:ive got a question I just started reta on Monday 0.5mg was my dose and I don't feel any different like zero and I'm planning on going to 1.5 or 1mg next week whats your guys thoughts, I weight 184 and want to go to 169-172lbs around to have a good lean base

I'm hoping to maintain all the strength I can. The drop has slowed down a bit, so I may need to drop off some additional calories soon. RT has been at 1mg until this past Saturday, just titrated up to 2mg. I'm in no hurry. It took me 30 years to get here, a year or two to get back to 225 and healthy seems to make sense to me.
