Test C .5ml


Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
I never really understood the term "food noise" but Reta has shown me the light. Nothing really "sounds good" in the traditional sense. There's no real cravings for any particular thing. For me personally, I have a thing where food that requires a lot of chewing does not sound appealing at all when the Reta is Reta'ing, but beyond that food is really just food and it doesn't much matter to me what it is. Like I'll take a bowl of ground turkey over a fat steak just because it doesn't require much chewing. Zero cravings for anything in particular

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
The 1mg Reta from Fri is still going strong and suppressing the hell outta my appetite. Eating dinner was a struggle but I know its necessary so I'm glad I had one of the little Healthy Choice 190 cal 28g protein frozen meals on hand. Energy is staying high and lifts are holding steady or progressing even though I'm failing to hit my cals and protein goals most days.

Some beginning and current pics. I feel like I'm starting to see some difference, and I can definitely FEEL some difference as far as pants a little looser in the waist, less puffy/little harder in some areas, etc.

Even though I started this log Aug 8, the pics in the initial post were actually taken July 28, just for full disclosure

Wow great job brother keep it up

Today's injections:
500mcg BPC-157

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
Reta began wearing off noticeably today. I'm thinking I'm going to try twice-weekly 1mg injections on Wednesday and Sunday, which will match up with my test injections. I'll see how that goes. I think it seems like it should be steadier appetite suppression throughout the week as opposed to just bumping to a single 2mg once-weekly injection.

[BackShot]

You can certainly see a difference in the pics!

I am surprised you haven't broke under that 230lbs mark just yet. You seem to be quite consistent with your food intake. Any thoughts as to why its still hovering at 230?

I really wanna go in for another Inbody scan to see what my BF% and muscle mass #'s are doing, because the scale weight alone is frustrating lol. 2 lbs down in 2 weeks is not the worst thing ever I suppose, but I am expecting more to be honest. Gym sessions have been great and I've been very diligent in tracking intake

 

[BackShot]

Trust me I know the feeling, although every LB is hard earned I too have changed a LOT in my habits and havnt seen quite the results I was hoping/expecting.

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
Well I went in for an Inbody scan way ahead of schedule today because the lack of scale loss was starting to bum me out a bit. It showed a skeletal muscle mass of 108.2 lbs (increase of 2.8 lbs), body fat percentage of 19.8% (decrease of 3.9%), and body fat mass of 44.8 lbs (decrease of 6.6 lbs). That was what I needed to see! Do i think Inbody scans are 100% exact? No I don't. But everything that you want to be going down went down and everything that you want to be going up went up. I knew I'd been working hard in the gym and making good progressions, tracking calorie intake very closely, and no cheats at all. I'm certainly thankful for the craving-killing aspect of Reta, it sure makes it easier to stay on track
Next Reta injection tomorrow morning, so I need to get mentally prepared for the appetite to be on lockdown for the next few days lol

Awesome work brother you are killing it. Any other sides you have notices? Constipation, headaches or lack of sleep. Not that that you are supposed too, I am just trying to compare.

I'm not nearly as regular as I usually am. Typically when I'm not on Reta its every morning like clockwork and then sometimes in the afternoon/evening. Now its about every other day at random times. No headaches. My sleep usually sucks anyway and if I get 6.5 hrs then I consider it a win. Reta has not changed that.

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
Reta went right back to kicking my appetite's ass today after this morning's injection. For some reason, hot food often does NOT sound appealing at all when the Reta is doing its thing at the highest level, which is usually the day of and the day after injection. Today's menu definitely reflected that fact lol

What is your current dosage now?

 

[rollin-tumblin]

What is your current dosage now?

1mg Wednesday and Sunday

 

[Wiseguy]

1mg Wednesday and Sunday

Copy that. Trying to understand if size, bodyfat, weight has a role in the optimal dosage.

 

[Chemicalreaction]

Everyone is different I'm not out of shape but Im only doing 1 mg a week and went from 220 to 209 so it really shows everyone has different responses to the compound it's self

 

[Wiseguy]

Strong start, man Crazy respect for the journey you’ve already been on, and cool to see you dialing things in with lifting + TRT + now Reta. Smart move easing in at .5mg, curious to see how the appetite side hits you. Workout looks solid, food log is on point, and you’ve clearly got momentum. Following along, keep the updates coming

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
Still experiencing very strong appetite suppression from Wednesday morning's injection. Energy has stayed high the past two days since lowering my daily cals number. Hoping that stays the case and also hoping my lifting progressions at least hold steady and don't start to regress. But my main goal is to drop some scale weight now. Today marks three weeks since starting Reta!

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
What a day. Started out normal until late morning then a buddy called asking for help with a brake job. He was just wanting to replace the pads. I figured an hour tops. One mess after another turned it into about 6 hrs and countless trips to the parts store. Ended up needing rotors & calipers too. Everything was rusted tight and was an absolute oily greasy mess. My vehicle OCD was about to have a meltdown!

To tie this into Reta, the appetite suppression from the 2mg Wednesday was still going strong, so even though my buddy was so hungry he was shaky, it was no problem at all for me. We were dirty/greasy all the way up to our elbows so there was just no chance to eat without doing a total scrub down, and it was one of those things where we constantly thought we were like 20 minutes from being done but then another shit show would hit. He took me to dinner at a BBQ joint and, although the baked potato and smoked turkey sure went down smooth I still wasn't incredibly hungry or anything. Just kept picking at it while we were visiting. I hadn't seen this buddy for quite a while and I was sure hoping he'd want to hear more about my weight-loss and body recomping I'm going thru because I'd guess he was probably 40 lbs heavier than the last time I saw him and he was already a pretty big guy then. Absolutely way over 300 now. I just wasn't sure how to approach the subject with him. I'd love to get him on a GLP and some light fitness regimen though

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
Zero hunger today. Struggled to get down one cup of chili at dinner. I'll need to start supplementing some more liquid protein to keep enough protein intake coming in. The rest day today was a good call. We'll see how lifting goes the next two days, my power push and power pull days. Ready to see the scale trend downwards. I've hit this 229.2 number a few times since starting reta but haven't been able to break under it yet.

Daily notes/thoughts on Reta specifically:
No appetite. None. Started out the day with a bit of appetite but then hit the wall and did a protein shake for lunch and a tiny little pile of food at dinner. Good lift this morning still, even with several days now of reduced calories. The scale is still mocking me, hitting right on that 229.2 number again. I'm going to have to go in for another Inbody scan if the scale continues to stay stalled out...
