week 6: lost 10.56% of my starting weight!! should i keep losing?

[fuchufuchu]

just here to celebrate my weight loss my dosage so far has been:

week 1-2: 1mg

week 3-5: 1.5mg

week 6: 2mg (continuing to week 10)

i’m a bit conflicted because i do like how i look at my current weight, but i set out to lose ~20% of my starting weight. not sure what to do!

i got a single vial of 20mg reta (as any beginner would) and have been dosing low to stretch it out as much as i can before i figure out the grey market, lol

i’m afraid of the inevitable weight gain if i get off reta, so i plan to use reta for maintenance as well; the food noise reduction has been magical. if i keep my dosage at 1mg/week for maintenance, with testing, a 20mg kit would last me 3.5 years, while a 50mg kit would last me 8.7 years! but i am still young so maybe i’ll leave the 50mg for later. great stuff

How long do you plan to use that single vial of product? 6 weeks is a good stretch beyond recommended 4 weeks.

Did you filter?

If you're happy where you are now, maybe stay there for a bit. Or keep going.

i had no idea about the recommended 4 weeks! i’m using it until i run out, which should be right around week 12.

i didn’t filter - not really sure how!

i think i will keep going at small doses. i think i’ll get a 10-15mg kit next, so i can keep my doses small while not going past the recommended duration you told me about. thank you

4 weeks isn’t set in stone. My limit is ~3 months usually, assuming no visible degradation and being kept in the fridge.

I tend to be pretty conservative in my approach. Lots of others do it differently. It's not a rule. It is guidance I've seen along with information others share about using theirs longer.

I'm just now at a dosage with a product that I definitely won't be able to use up in 4 weeks. Debating what to do. It's cheap enough to toss but I hate to waste. I may stick my toe in the deeper water on this one. Haven't yet figured it out for myself.

Lots of people here with more experience than me!

There's nothing wrong with your approach. I try to do the same. 30 days after recon. There's lots of differing opinions and folks stretching it longer and that's their choice
