Am I losing too much weight too fast?

Hi all,

I just bumped my Reta dose to 2mg 2x/wk and I’m dropping lbs.

Here’s my shot record for Reta:

1. Thurs May 22: 0.5mg
2. Thurs May 29: 0.5mg
3. Mon June 2: 0.5mg & Thurs June 5: 0.5mg
4. Mon June 9: 1mg & Thurs June 12: 1mg
5. Mon June 16: 1mg & Thurs June 19: 1.5mg
6. Mon June 23: 1.5mg & Thurs June 26: 1.5mg
7. Mon June 30: 2mg & Thurs July 2: 2mg

The last three shots and my overall weight graph are as follows:


I lost 3.6 lbs last week?! I’ve been working out 2x a day for a month now. That’s once in the morning fasted and an evening gym class. And I’ve been working with the evening gym classes for 3+ years. It can’t be water weight… right?

Don’t think I’m losing muscle mass- keeping up with protein and I’m still feeling strong in the gym (the one month I was on tirzepatide prior, I felt very weak at the gym).

Is this sustainable weight loss? All the weeks prior were averaging at 1.4lbs loss per week.

I would see now the next few weeks good imho. Keep up healthy eating and exercising. There will likely be weeks later with zero loss. When I started I dropped really rapidly on Sema then became slow and steady.

Thank you! Will do!

I’m not a doctor but from what I’ve seen and experienced, fast weight loss can raise a few flags depending on how your body is responding. Are you feeling dizzy or weak, or losing a lot of muscle? Those are signs it might be too fast.

Had initial rapid weight loss but then slowed down even with increased doses
