Is anyone on a crazy low dose? I can't tell if im a hyper responder or what, 1mg a once a week is feeling like too much. I have to force myself to eat real food usually. Went from 290-230 on tirz, then 230 - 185 on reta in like 15 months. I will never come off glp1s. Reta has me shredded tho, so I guess I will try .75mg a week. Is anyone else seeing similar things? I'm lifting heavy, it used to take 8mg of reta to put me down. Its like it wants me off. Wont let it. Worst part is I'm using 48mg vials.

Maybe you can swap or BST them out?

I am on 1.5mg weekly. Down about 40 in 8 or so weeks. Very active though, workouts / cardio daily. Diet is also dialed in. Used it to come off a bulk.
 
@SlimReaper when I read your thread title, I thought you were bragging about being really easy-going, not needing too much attention, etc ... Lol

It seems potentially great that you can maintain your weight loss with such a low dose (if you can find the right dosage.) I am not in maintenance yet, so I don't have any experience there.

Congratulations on your weight loss and on getting shredded! 💪

Yup lol makes it very easy. Congrats on your weight loss!
 
i said i was gonna be on glp1s forever, but just had my first week off. i do lift 6 days a week no cardio yet. surprisingly there hasnt been any insane hunger, its kinda hard to tell how much an effect reta has on you, granted i was only on .5mg at the end there but that was still enough to give great weight loss. thinking about it, i guess i tapered myself off as opposed to cutting cold turkey. feels good anyways. maybe some others could take from that.

no fuck that im going back on.
What happened to cause you to want go back on? Are you going back on a maintenance dosage?
 
Last Thursday was Christmas. The week between Christmas and New Year's being notorious for highly palatable foods is my guess.

Hardest fast I ever did was Dec 26th through Jan 2nd, even though I'd fasted far longer than that -- it as the constant temptation. If I had GLPs back then, it would have been a breeze.

Remember that these drugs have a half life that exceeds the time between weekly doses. They overlap. It takes longer than 1 week for the effect to taper to zero.
 
Everything I've read on here, folks don't pour on the milligrams with Reta, the way they do with Tirz. With maybe the exception of them involved in a study.

So how many ml/units in the tube when one pins 2mg or less?

It depends on the amount of BAC. I usethis calculator and routinely use .5 and .3 ml syringes for smaller doses. Units are the same. It's just easier to be accurate with smaller doses with smaller syringes.

I understand all that. What is the concentration of the solution you are drawing from? You're welcome to tell me,"none of your business."

My spouse and I are both drawing from a 50mg vial that was reconstituted with 1mL of BAC water. I take 6mg so the dose is .12mL, 2mg would be .04mL in that scenario.

I typically (95% of the time) use 2ml of recon solution for everything that is going sub-q. But that's just me.

This is awesome. I feel like my husband needs to add this to his regimen. Currently tirz doesn’t seem to be getting him going. He is a bigger guy close to 300 with belly fat (don’t tell him I said that…lol) so it seems logical that this addition to the mix would be beneficial. Only problem is he works from home with a desk job so a lot of activity isn’t part of the daily routine. But maybe since you’ve ramped up your activity that’s what’s causing your awesome results with it. I’d love to hear what others have to say. I’m definitely going to try to find some other posts about this…I’m very curious now.
 
I'm old and have had knee problems that restrict my workout ability. I also have a desk job. I do resistance training, try to get my 5,000 steps in, and live on the 3rd floor. I will go up and down twice just to get them in. That's about it. I've lost 40 lbs in 12 weeks. He'll do fine on Reta.
