How much weight have you lost?

[kimmykat415]

22lbs in 12 weeks on Reta ranging from 0.5mg to 2mg and back to 1.25mg. I'm back to my "normal" but not great pre-menopause weight. Goal weight is another 22 lbs away which I've been at various times but never for long. I'm still amazed at how easy the 22 came off after 3 years where different workouts, i- fasting, calorie &macro counting, and going on HRT never made more than a 5 lbs dent. Even if it slows I'm shocked I might reach my GW before the end of the year! I have enough Reta to last a good long while but am starting to wonder if Tirz might be a better maintenance option.

Down 20lb since 7-7-25 dose every Monday. Food noise close to zero. Strength training 4-5 days per week. Don’t put me down for cardio, please.

Loving it!!

Is it possible that some of that 50 is visceral fat? When women reach menopausal age (including peri-menopausal) visceral fat gets larger and is carried lower on the body. It is notoriously difficult to lose. I lost 90 lbs quickly on Reta but the fat on my upper and lower abdomen wasn't budging. I decided it had to be visceral and added tesamorelin. It's finally melting away, but I have a ton of it, so it'll be months still. I added ipamorelin to help burn it faster and they work well together. I'm still on Reta for the blood sugar control, but I'm convinced Reta doesn't work for this kind of age related visceral. Maybe on younger folks but not on folks over 50.

Anything is possible. But I gained it in a month after being started on a medication that was supposed to “cure” my IBS-D. And she tried to convince me to keep taking it- told me, “50 lbs is nothing.” 😳
Plus I went thru menopause at 46… so I was past it by 2017 by a few years.

Since starting your journey how much weight have you lost?

My diet was horrific previously I would 100g chocolate bar every night. Takeaway 4 nights a week sometimes I'd get a cheese cake and start with one slice but eat the lot in an evening so cutting all this out and being strict.. nothing sugary nothing fried and as little processed food as possible 1500cals a day which is low for a guy 6ft 4in tall. With this in mind I've gone from 19st 8lbs to 16st 2lbs since the 22nd May this year.. I lost 21lbs in 21 days to start with but now it's drastically slowed down. This is using tirzepatide and I've 2 weeks ago just started to add cagri.

Have you tried to increase the tirz dosage?

I started Sema in March, 2024 at 181 lbs ( 5 ft 1). Got down to 140 lbs on Sema then stalled. Went up to 155 lbs whilst taking a break and starting on Reta. Started Reta 4 months ago and down to 135 lbs now. I'm at 8 mg of Reta and my goal is around 120 lbs. For a total of 46 lbs so far.

Have you tried to increase the tirz dosage?

I'm up to 10mg no mate so I have increased a few times.. I'm trying now to hold of on any further increases because I've still got 2 stone to go and I don't want to get to 15mg and find I'm tolerant to it and plateau..

15 lbs in 5 weeks on sema.

I’ve lost 35 pounds since April, on Tirzepatide. I’m transitioning slowly to Reta, mostly because I have a full vial of Tirz left that I won’t waste. This also gives me time to actually research and source ways to obtain it safely overseas.

 

[jordekorn]

I lost 25 over 6 months with 3.5 mg triz, and 5 pounds in a month of 1mg triz and 2 mg Reta. I think I may go back to triz, I can’t decide which honestly. I have a good supply of both, triz has a lot of side effects for me, but if I don’t do it now, when will I ever use it kind of thing

In total: 120+ pounds. I’m not actually sure what my true high weight was but I’ve been calling it 250 lbs. I’m sure it was probably more though.

HW: 250 lbs Sept 2022
(Lost 40 lbs with diet and exercise)
Started tirz: 210 lbs September 2024
(Weightloss slowed to <0.5lb/week)
Added survo: 173 lbs February 2025
(Weightloss back up to 1.5-2lb/week)
Original goal weight: 140 lbs
Current: 134 lbs today
Current goal weight: 130 lbs

General future plan: as I approach 130, I think it would be unrealistic to shoot for 120 even though the body dysmorphia is telling me I should just push the scale down as far as it will go and continue to move the goal post from 140 to 130 to 120. My problem is that I haven’t exercised this whole time and, in a perfect world, if/when I start tapering down on the GLP1’s at 130 I would simultaneously start exercising and compensate for any increase in appetite. Surprising and unfortunately, when I was heavier, my schedule actually allowed for consistent exercise (hence being able to lose 40 lbs prior to tirz, albeit slowly) but now things have changed and I’m prioritizing time with my kids and sleep. I could really use some body recomp though so we’ll see.
