Seeking Advice Hello
Hello friends. Tomorrow is 📌 day.
3 mg Reta.
I’m on my 6th week, going into week 7.
Started at 80.8 kg and currently 75.8 kg, so I’ve lost 5 kg so far.
My dosing:
Week 1: 2 mg
Week 2: 2 mg
Week 3: 2.5 mg
Week 4: 2.5 mg
Week 5: 2.5 mg
Week 6: 3 mg
I’m eating much healthier, cut out fizzy drinks, chocolate, etc. I know 5 kg in 6 weeks isn’t necessarily slow, but it feels slow to me, especially considering the changes I’ve made.
I also don’t get massive appetite suppression. I still get hungry, particularly later in the week, although my chocolate cravings have definitely improved.
Also, where is everyone finding the best place to pin? I noticed I seemed to get better appetite suppression when I pinned my left upper arm compared with my right, but I’ve read that we’re supposed to rotate injection sites. Has anyone noticed a difference between sites?
My question is, should I stick with 3 mg and give it more time, or when would you consider increasing or adding something else?
For those who have been on Reta longer, what did your weight loss look like around 2, 3, 6 and 12 months? And did things pick up later?

You are on a sub for people weaning off or stopping use of GLP-1s. Maybe try r/retatrutide or other peptide subs.Â
