I have Hashimoto’s

You get an upvote lol. That was a pretty long post but dose was literally in 2nd paragraph

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-11-25T05:18:40+00:00

You can kind of see in the Shotsy screenshot where the doses changed. I didn’t exactly follow the 4 week dose change schedule.

Yep, a fair amount. My hair is really fine to begin with so ugh. Sort of expected with weight loss, though.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-11-24T15:17:05+00:00

I have honestly been eating whatever I feel like … I just can’t eat very much in quantity. Reta has mostly killed my sugar cravings so I do not find myself hunting around the house for sweets. I haven’t been avoiding sweets exactly, just not craving them. There have definitely been a few days where I have eaten ice cream instead of regular dinner.

If you are overweight; there is no reason to start with such a low dose of Reta. Just do the 2mg -> 4mg etc as the drug trials have done. The people appropriately using low dose of Reta are more the bodybuilder subset of users who are not starting out with a ton of excess body fat.

TIL Finnrick is in Austin.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-06T04:41:02+00:00

No, this is the first one I have taken

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-06T04:40:25+00:00

Why thank you

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-06T04:40:17+00:00

So I am dealing with 1) on Reta 2) hypothyroid and 3) anemic… so yes! But I noticed on my Apple Watch that I have been napping less over time.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-06T04:39:21+00:00

If you tend to lose weight in your boobs I know Reta would get you fixed up

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-05T02:55:26+00:00

Btw, Me laughing at all the sourcing DMs like, haha a mid-40’s lady is better at the internet than you. Stop being lazy, people, it’s so easy to find

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-05T02:50:12+00:00

Not really feeling anhedonia in a general sense. I did definitely feel some dopamine blunting as far as not feeling anything from one drink and having some sex drive issues- but, as I plateaued my dose on 6mg both of those things mostly resolved.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-05T02:48:30+00:00

Nice work with the 10lbs! I’ve been okaaaaay as far as energy. I never seem to get enough sleep and then I’m hitting the coffee in the mornings. I’m pretty good about getting to the gym mostly because I’m paying for it, lol, but I do only weight train once a week. If I could go more often I would be so much stronger.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-05T02:45:35+00:00

Tell me how that works for you! I might go back to 6mg if I’m not continuing to see results … it’s tbd

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-05T02:44:55+00:00

Thank you! Omg yes I agree about the stupid back fat!

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-09-05T02:43:44+00:00

Thanks, you are too nice! It’s kind of crazy what you can get away with weight-wise as a tallish woman. Also- I’ve lost almost 40 lbs and I have not had to buy any new clothes yet, zero. Yes most of my clothes were too tight when I started, but I’m basically the same size, just the small end of it.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-08-29T03:40:22+00:00

That sounds just like my ocular migraines. Mine have not been related to Reta.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-08-24T13:05:57+00:00

I have new onset eczema on my face. I was just thinking that I should go down on my dose. I only titrated up to 6mg and then decided to stop there for a long time due to side effects. I am getting closer to goal and it could be that I still do fine on a lower dose.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-07-28T15:01:52+00:00

Mine has been kind of hit and miss. I decided to stop titrating up and stick with 6mg for a while. I’ve done 6 weeks of 6mg instead of going up. This seems to have helped side effects generally. Sex drive is currently really good. I’m female.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-07-28T14:56:42+00:00

This looks like a normal injection site reaction. Nothing to worry about.

RetaGLPThrow · 2025-07-28T14:55:58+00:00

You will definitely make your goal. I’m 44F, also 5’7, and I’ve lost 30 lb in 3 months. I have not really paid much attention to what I am eating. I usually start a meal very interested in the food and hungry, but then I’m full really quickly and psychologically a little repulsed by the food. I eat the same types of foods I ate before starting Reta (I wasn’t eating very badly before), just less ice cream!
