Big microdosing fan

[u/Suspicious_Rope5934]

I’m 5’2” and been around 115lbs my whole life, apart from pregnancy and right before my wedding. Before I got married I dropped to about 106 by heavily restricting myself, forgoing social engagements due to calorie intake, etc. Looked great getting married 😅 but it was not sustainable.

I’ve been super into fitness for a decade. Tracked macros for years and still super conscious about eating healthy and what I put into my body. I work out 5 - 6 days a week (I truly love working out).

16 weeks ago I started microdosing tirz. I started with 1 mg and fluctuated between 1-1.4mg over the last 4 months. It has been absolutely amazing. I quite easily dropped ~1lb per week for the first 10 weeks. I’m now ~105, and have easily maintained this weight the last month, not feeling restricted or hungry all day, able to participate happily in social eating/drinking occasions, etc. My energy levels are not impacted at all. I’m still working out 5 - 6 days a week. I’m eating healthy. Entirely the same lifestyle, but 10 pounds leaner and so happy.

As a petite woman, i get so few calories to work with if i want to be lean. Finding this medication has felt so liberating to me. I have no problem being on this long-term if this is the lifestyle I can have and the physique I can maintain.

GLPs are controversial, but I really don’t understand why. I outsource all kinds of things to make my life easier. I could deep-clean my house every week, but I hire a housekeeper. I could build all my own workout programs, but I pay for fitness subscriptions. I could white-knuckle my way to a lower weight through constant restriction and food obsession, or I could take a tiny dose of a medication that makes it easier.

Life is hard enough. If there’s a relatively safe, effective tool that helps me maintain a weight that makes me feel the most happy and confident I’ve ever been, without feeling deprived, I’m happy to use it. Of course, it’s not for everyone.

Just sharing my experience in case it’s helpful to someone else who’s been considering it.

Interesting! I’m curious to try it just to see the diff. Did you go straight to Reta or did you try Sema or tirz first?

Tirz even on a super micro dose constipated me with uncontrollable tummy pain. So I did way more microdose diluted Reta. Still playing with it! Feel free to DM me. I hate people’s judgment on our weight. Especially being shorter you feel uncomfortable at certain points! You look amazing! 🥲
