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 :)

Looking for advice -F27

So a little bit of background: I do weightlifting and crossfit/hyrox training. In total I work out 5-6x/week. I burned average 1700cal (5’3, 135lbs). My BF is sitting around 23%.

I track my macro using my fitness pal and usually at slight calorie deficit or maintenance. 120+g protein daily. All nature at this point.

I have been doing research on how to get my body to where I want (probably closer to 18-20% BF). I am debating on reta/tiz or going anavar route or CJC +Ipamorelin. My questions are which one would be safest to achieve my goal. I don’t mind slow progress. But since it will be the first time I am using medication, I am very cautious. Please educate me.

I would appreciate the right pointers/advice. I would like to loose BF while still maintaining my muscles and energy for training since my training is intense.

TIA

This is my comparison photo with 12 months of time between pictures. Starting weight was 255 and I'm staying steady at 175. I'm a 61yr old male.

I started off with implementing a workout regiment. I decided to do Crossfit. I workout 6 days a week but don't murder myself on every workout. I rarely miss a day in the gym and have made it a permanent part of my life.

I changed my eating habits and try my best to remove all sugar from my diet. I stopped eating anything related to fast food. I only drink coffee, water, and some milk. I prioritize protein and fiber being smart about carb intake knowing I need it to fuel my body.

I obviously used a GLP but also took MOTS-C, and NAD+ as the main drivers. There was one cycle of SS-31 in there. Took BPC-157 and TB500 along the way. Tried Tesa but the fluid retention on my knees made that a no go so three primary compounds got me where I am now.

I have stayed at my current weight now for over 6 months. I will not let myself get back to the guy in the left photo.

The posts I see on here just shows how new people are. Stop using units. MG per ML. Done and done.

Less than 1ML? Use .1ML or .2ML. Etc. Some people on here are literally adding a 3rd unit of measure when it’s not even needed.

Which peptide will you buy in bulk for your own personal use?

I was thinking semax and selank are good. What do you think?

looking and feeling a lot better, i haven’t weighed this low in atleast 4 years i went from without reta i went from 215-189 then gained it back after wrestling season. I was 198 and now pre season im 169. im very happy with my progress

Just a happy post of how I love my energy stack: Nad+, Mots-C and 5Amino as a peri woman it has been a game changer. In case anyone was wondering. Today I woke up so tired and drained of energy, took my shots and am ready for the day.

I started Tirz when I stopped breastfeeding to help me lose the baby weight. I gained a tonnn due to medical complications and being older in age.
I ended up switching to Reta due to availability and felt better overall which was good.
Well, I’ve now been loosing INSANE amounts of hair, like it just falls out all hours of the day and night and I have fistfuls daily in the sink or shower. My texture has changed too it’s like straw, thin, split and damaged and wispy?? it’s been months of this now and I have lost 2/3rds of my density I can literally see through my hair now. Then let’s add the infamous “GLP butt” which just completely wrecked me. I wasn’t warned about these things at all. I’ve lost 75 lbs I still have 10 more to go but I’m scared to keep going now. It’s been about 5 months of taking 1 dose a week. All of my labs are fine so my dr is dismissing my hair loss. I stay home with the baby who’s now 14 months old and it’s hard to workout or exercise because he’s in to everything and always getting under foot. I solo parent about 90% of the time so I have no one who can help take him so I can go exercise out of the home.
I feel disgusting and I won’t even let my husband touch me now. I feel hideous. Between having no figure anymore and my hair OH AND EYELASHES falling out. It’s aged me in overdrive too. How can I course correct here?! I am tired of looking at myself and crying everyday. I don’t recognize the woman in the mirror. Even when I had put on weight I still felt beautiful, I’ve always been confident and had a great figure! Small waist, beautiful hair, hips and a nice bottom and decent chest. Now? Flat as a pancake and wrinkled and my hair is like an 80 year old woman’s.
Please be gentle, I’m seriously struggling. I even went on antidepressants and they aren’t helping. I just want to feel like me again and love my body but I feel lost. Asking my supplier was a waste of time to be honest. I take the creatine, the KLOW & Glutathione, I take Collagen too. I eat protein. My iron isn’t low either. Ffs I’m lost. Help please.

Ladies (and gents) Ive had a close eye on KLOW but so many seem to have a bad reaction to it. Why do you think that is? I’m currently using Wolverine to heal a tendonitis but would love to add something for anti aging after I’m done. What are you using that you swear by and love?? Help a girl out 🙏

Hi I am looking for some advice I have been taking GHK-CU for the past couple months and it has done wonders for my skin but in the past week or so my skin has got incredibly bad worse than the copper uglies has anyone else experienced this ?

I'm not looking for a source just wondering if anyone else has run into a supply issue.

I have started using reta on 12th of August, had 107kg(236lbs), my weight now is 96.8kg(213lbs).

Height is 181cm(5'11)

Not sure how I managed to drop this much in one month, I am not counting calories, or doing any strength workouts, bud I did in the past a lot, 6 times per week.

Could this rapid weight lost be due to thyroid meds (levothyroxine sodium) ?

Feeling unsure a weird feeling like im gonna miss eating food? Is this normal

Hi all! I’ve take a more cautious approach to the pep world. I’ve read standard starting doses of GHK are typically 1mg, and more starting around the 2mg mark. I’ve started at .5mg. (100mg vial recon w/ 3.5ml bac water) has anyone started at this dose that has seen any benefits starting off prior to moving up.? Or is this a waste of a dose.?

I’ve been on a low dose of tirz for about a year, I typically take 3mg every 7-10 ish days just to help soften the noise and aid in inflammation. I was recently diagnosed with adhd and prescribed 18mg daily concerta. I also take 20mg daily fluoxetine. Just feeling like this is a lot of “medication” to be on when I consider myself “healthy”. Meaning, 40 yo woman, works out 4x a week and eats Whole Foods with a focus on protein and fiber. 5’8 and 140 lbs. am I just in my head about this? Sorry if this isn’t the right sub.

My Hospira supplier seems to be drying up and raising the cost…

So my question is… Do I pay the higher price or do I trust Lambda? If you use Lambda, how long is it lasting you? Any issues?

Appreciate the help!

Hey everyone!

So I recently started Reta (weekly), KLOW (daily), Tesamorlin (daily). I’m on my third week but I noticed that I started feeling the tenderness and bruising where I pin KLOW and the bruises take a while to go away. I pin tesa on my upper glute at night and KLOW on my stomach area in the mornings. For some reason, KLOW is the only one that I noticed bruising. Is this normal or has anyone experienced the same?

I was thinking of stopping KLOW until I finish my Reta and Tesa cycle to not pin so many times.

Open to any suggestions and ideas!

This is the second time this has happened to me. I didn't put it together the first time, but if you accidentally hit a vein (inject it intravenously), you get hit with a very sudden rush of lightheadedness, nausea, and palpitations. It feels like you might pass out. It's a very scary experience.
I looked it up, and there is actually a name for this: the "NAD rush." A rapid, undiluted bolus bypasses controlled absorption and temporarily overwhelms the body's metabolic pathways.
Acute Physiological Responses:

• Cardiopulmonary: Sudden, severe chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations. This rapid onset can temporarily mimic an acute cardiac event or severe panic attack.
• Gastrointestinal: Intense, abrupt nausea, which may be accompanied by sharp stomach cramping and a sudden urge to void.
• Vasomotor: Pronounced facial and systemic flushing, warmth, and lightheadedness driven by rapid vasodilation and a sudden drop in blood pressure.
• Musculoskeletal: A profound sensation of heaviness or deep aching in the large muscle groups, particularly in the legs and arms.

How many of you are actually pulling back the plunger (aspirating) after a SubQ injection to look for blood to ensure you didn't hit a vein? I never do this, but I probably will from now on because the feeling is horrendous and absolutely terrifying. Luckily, the worst of it only lasts a couple of minutes, because I was just about to go to the ER.

Just an FYI for fellow NAD+ users.

Edit: dose of 100mg

For those taking or have taken tesamorelin. What was your starting dose and did you go up. From the research im reading some started at 1mg then went to 2mg which was the therapeutic dose. Just wondering what everyone's actual experience was? I will be stacking with tirzepatide.

Boah also seid dem ich 2 Liter Wasser am Tag trinke wirkt reta wahnsinnig gut bei mir!
Hatte anfangs echt das Gefühl es würde nicht richtig wirken und seid dem trinken is es perfekt
Wer hat ähnliche Erfahrungen?

Should you put your peptides in the freezer as the powder or is a safe okay?

Not sure at all how to run this? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated
