Week fifteen:

Solid progress again this week! Down another 3lbs, and I'm feeling really good. There were a couple days this week that I could barely hit 1000cal, I just truly had zero interest in food. But aside from those, averaged 1700cal. Still not side effects to speak of, other than occasional, very mild heart burn. I still haven't restarted my KLOW, CJC/IPA cycles yet, will continue those on Friday after 3 weeks off.

I did finally notice very minimal lean mass loss at 1lb. I haven't verified with Samsung app yet, but 1lb of muscle to 42lbs of fat is a great ratio to me. I have still been putting off the gym due to work stuff, but this motivates me to return. Luckily, I do pretty strenuous manual labor so I'm not fully dormant.

I am fast approaching another milestone, my lowest recorded weight in Samsung was 256.5 in June of 2021. That was reached with a calorie defecit and gym time alone, but that was 20lbs lost in 10 months. My current progress makes that look so minimal, but I was (and still am) so proud of doing that back then.

You're doing great man, I hope you're taking lots of before photos. This time next year you'll really get a kick out of comparing.

I actually take progress photos weekly on injection days, starting week 6. I didn't think about it before then. Front view, side view, left and right side of face, and scalp. I wanted real tangible evidence of the weight loss, the effect of KLOW on hair and skin, and the effect of MT2 in general. Comparing week 6 to week 15 has pretty noticeable differences.

Yea, I like it. I'm gonna start a photo journal like I've been keeping a written record of my doses and my weight. Why didn't I think of that??? At my age it gets harder to get multiple brain cells working all at once. ThanX

Forgot to post last week and forgot to screenshot the weigh in. Been crazy busy with work


Week sixteen:

Hit another milestone! Lowest recorded weight in the history of my app, came in at 254.0, officially my lowest weight in probably close to 15 years if not longer.


Week seventeen:

Reached another major milestone! Below 250 and a total loss of 50.4lbs. I am seeing a loss of lean mass now, still minimal however. I have returned to the gym a few times and will become more consistent coming up. At this rate I am on track of reaching my goal and should hit 220 by New Years.

For comparison, here is my BF loss per month last year on my scale. I'm currently 10.4%BF by Dexa and my scale read low in the beginning and is high now. So I actually lost ~0.8 more per month than the scale shows.

Are you saying my BF% is likely lower than the scale is saying? The scale shows 33.5% where my Galaxy watch shows 36.2%. I know they are not going to be super accurate to the real percent, but I can at least see the trend.

No, there is no way to know which way your scale is off for you. My wife's dexa started dead on with the scale and my bf was 8% over the scale. But the trend is important.

The thing about body comp percentages is that they are all relative to each other. especially water. If your hydration isn't very consistent the percentages change accordingly. I have seen wild jumps and drops in bfp, just because my hydration was higher or lower at that moment..

Week eighteen

Experiencing some regression here. Gained back 4lbs. Still averaging 1600-1700cal/day, still eating basically the same way I have been the whole time. I did re-start the KLOW and CJC/IPA cycles again in week 16, so it may be water retention again. I may change up and do 4 week titration after next week when I go up to 2.0mg. I'm having no problem with portion control, but I have noticed feeling hungry more frequently. I usually just down a bunch of water and move on with my day and ignore it, but it does get annoying. That being said, ~50lbs in 120 days is still really impressive to me, but I'm feeling discouraged seeing the numbers go back up. Ive seen it as high as 256 in the last week. I'll see where I am Tuesday and make a judgement call on titration moving forward

You're doing great. I'd chalk the weight up to the cjc/ipa water retention.

I started to feel very slight effects after my second dose (.25 to check for any reaction, then .5 3 days later). It took 2 weeks for real appetite suppression to kick in, but it’s not like I don’t get hungry, I just get full really fast. Also when I do get hungry if I don’t eat immediately I “forget” about the hunger. Mid week 2 is when the weight started dropping, and the weight started moving before the effects really ramped up

I haven’t used any other peptides besides Reta btw
