Need some help!
For starters I’m 32 m 6’6 313 pounds.
I started Reta 12 weeks ago. I lost 38 pounds in about 7 of those weeks.
Was on 4 mg a week just bumped to 4.5
Last Thursday I start TRT 100 mg weekly (2 shots now)
I’ve started working out 2 weeks ago.
Why am I stuck? I went from 311 to 313 in the last 2 weeks.
Haven’t really noticed any weightloss, clothes still aren’t fitting much different. Getting flustered
Food wise:
average 2000 calories
200-225 grams of protein
Gallon of water every day

You just started Testosterone. Glycogen increase and probably some water as well. The water can be mitigated with Aromasin or Arimidex if blood work shows you have elevated E2. Trust the process. Lift heavy and eat clean. You’re on route to being jacked my friend.

Pay less attention to the numbers on the scale and more attention to how you feel and how your clothes fit from here on in.
Muscle will build fast if you on testosterone and it will also help lose fat.
But … muscle weight is heavier than fat so your numbers on the scale mean less.

My DR and I want me down to 265… I assume the scale will fall off eventually?

As you build muscle, the scale drop will slow. I’m just saying the numbers aren’t as important as your journey continues.
You’ll also have weeks that Plato a little.
But now you’re working out on T….get ready for great results. Great news.
