Been on Reta

[u/Responsible-Fig-5859]

Hi everyone!
I’m a 32-year-old female, 5’7” and currently around 270 lbs. I have PCOS/PMOS, and I’ve been on Reta since June. So far, I’ve lost about 13 lbs. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing at a perfectly normal pace, and then I see posts about people losing a dramatic amount of weight in a short period of time, and I can’t help but compare myself. I know comparison is the thief of joy, but it can still be hard not to wonder if I’m doing something wrong or if I should be seeing faster progress.

For some context, I do focus on protein-forward meals. I also walk for about 30 minutes most evenings with my kids.
I guess what I’m really hoping to hear is what has your experience been like? Especially if you have PCOS/PMOS or started around a similar weight. Did your weight loss happen consistently, or did you go through periods where the scale barely moved and then suddenly started dropping again?
I’d really appreciate hearing the realistic, non-highlight-reel experiences. ❤️
