ANYONE REDUCE RETA DOSE & STILL LOSING?

[NUMBERS999]

Anyone drop their dose & still continue to lose?

I’ve been cruising on 10mg Reta per week.
Had to travel for a week & didn’t take my shot for 10 days.

Now that I’m back I’m thinking of re-starting @ 5mg just to save on costs & extend my supply.

Anyone have similar experience & still see continued losses @ the lower dose?

Thanks for input!

Yes, but slower loss (but that's OK for me). I'm not consistent with my dosage amounts. I'm on tirz. I'm still playing with what feels right for me. Sometimes I take 7.5mg and it feels either too much or just right. The week when it feels "too much", on my next shot I'll drop it to either 6.25mg or 5mg. I'm not in a rush to lose it all, so for me this is working.

I've been on tirz for about 8 months. I did hit a stall for about 6 weeks, but I was happy that I wasn't gaining weight, then all of a sudden I dropped a few pounds in a week. I did up my protein and weight lifting routine.

I dropped down to 5mg/week of tirz and my rate of loss has slowed. I am ok with that as I am approaching my goal.

I'm currently on 10mg of Ozempic and plan to reduce to 5mg. It's expensive and I think I can maintain my weight loss at 5mg. I've been monitoring my blood sugars closely since starting this medication, and I'll need to continue doing so if I lower the dose to ensure both my weight management and glucose control remain stable.

The cost savings would be significant for me, and based on my previous experience with medication adjustments, I believe the lower dose could still be effective while being more sustainable financially.

10mg of Ozempic/Wegovy? What on earth?? If you're abusing the medication that bad I would switch medications to see if it works better for you

I went from 2mg/week down to 1mg/week and was losing just as much. Granted, I did not start reta because I was overweight. I started it to drop a few percentages in body fat as I am bodybuilding. It, + a few of the gh peptides, was incredibly effective at helping my body recomposition.

I must personally be very sensitive to reta because 2mg/week was wrecking my diet and put me in a pretty dangerous deficit (upwards of 700-800 calories less than I typically need for a cut) for about a month before I decided to drop down, and now I can eat nearly as much as I need while still getting all the other benefits. At least I managed to preserve my muscle while eating in such a defecit.
