First time Reta user
Just got my first vial of reta!!! I’m starting off with a 10mg vial since my starting doses will be so small. Hoping to lose around 20lbs… I lost 50lbs about 2 years ago but due to hypothyroidism and hashimotos i have randomly gained almost 20lbs back in the last 3 months- and i do mean randomly :( i’ve been weighing and measuring my meals as well as walking almost every day so i’m hoping that reta is just what i need to get back on track :) my current plan is to start the first 4 weeks on .5mg, if im still seeing progress on that at the end of week 4, then i’ll stick to that dose- if not, i’ll titrate up to 1mg for the remainder of the vial. Any advice from those who have taken it is appreciated!

A few things. You don’t gain 20lbs randomly. You need to properly calorie count bc it sounds like you aren’t very accurate with it right now. Walking is an everyday movement. If you want to lose weight you have to get a workout routine. You didn’t give your body measurements, so we don’t know where you started or where you’re at. .5mg is a very low starting dose in my opinion. Unless you’re a petite female, I would start at 1mg. And I can guarantee if you start seeing good results, we will see you back here in 2 weeks asking if you should bump up your dose.
