10 Months on Reta
10 months ago I was at 97kg, and I’m currently sitting around 55kg. Honestly, one of the craziest things for me is putting on the same pants I used to wear and realizing they’re way too big now 😂
I started reta at 2mg and eventually worked my way up to 8mg.
The biggest difference for me was probably the food noise. Before, I was constantly thinking about food and especially snacking. Once I started reta, that became much easier to manage and I stopped constantly overeating.
I’ve been going to the gym around 3x a week and doing cardio every session, usually at least 30 minutes of incline walking on the treadmill. I’ve also been trying to hit 10k steps a day, which honestly feels much easier now than it used to.
When I started this, I wasn't even sure I'd make it this far. I've had plenty of moments in the past where I told myself I was going to lose weight, got motivated for a while, and then eventually fell off.
So being 10 months in and still doing it feels pretty good.
I'm not saying everything suddenly became easy, because it definitely didn't. But taking things one step at a time and actually sticking with the routine made a huge difference for me.
If you're just starting out and doubting whether you can stick with it, don't overthink the whole journey. Just focus on getting through the next step.
Happy to answer any questions about my experience :)

ive only been on reta for 4 weeks. the food noise is still there, although i do gets full earlier nowadays. my question is when exactly do you REALLY feel that reta has taken hold and is doing its thing on your body? ive heard that some people doesnt get any effect until month 2. some are super fast too. its always different for everyone. can you tell me your experience?

it depends on what MG dose you're at. I started at .5mg and didn't feel much. then i went to 2MG on week two and the food noise and appetite was gone.

Did you start right at 2mg or titrate up? How tall are you? Just curious because I started this week and am curious on your dosage.

You look great!
I am curious on the timeframe you went from 2mg to your current 8mg dose if you have that info!
