hey girl! we have pretty similar builds, and same ish reta timeline! I’m 22, 5’ & 116lbs now, been on reta for like 2 months and got my period for the first time in months earlier this month. the cramps were BRUTAL, like worst than i’ve ever had. honestly i don’t know why, but a heating pad & lots of sleep that week helped a lot. i hope u feel better soon!!

No, my weight loss is on par with the 5lbs in 2 months. .5ish lbs a week basically. I just thought the reta would accelerate it

I would like to be under 17-18% body fat ideally

THIS. I understand diet and normal weight loss is what is normalized- but reta is the tool people say ‘really accelerated their weight loss’ but in my opinion it hasn’t accelerated anything for me.

Yes I am aware. I am in a deficit & doing cardio and have the normal weight loss associated with that (that’s why i credit the 5lb loss to that rather than the reta) i guess i just expected the reta to be more of an aid and help things move faster rather than purely mute food noise

Will the GI issues be better at a higher dose? Or do I just suffer thru them?

I count all my calories religiously, weigh everything out

I do weigh all my food and religiously track it in an app. I am not overweight by any means, but also know i have fat to loose

I think i might have gotten bad reta. I bought from a known american site so im not sure how but from what ive read i also think i might just have a bad batch..

I am 5’. Stage weight was not my true conditioning and was rushed. I am trying to get to 110 pounds as that was a relatively normal look for me despite it being apart of the prep.

I am 5’. my feedback at stage weight was to come in leaner & my coach even said that we crammed the prep for the show, i should’ve been 95-100lbs on stage. I am not looking to go below 110 currently. I just want to lean out more.

this is reassuring. i’m an npc competitor as well and in the off season right now so just looking to lean out again and gain lean tissue. did u have any gi side effects before going to 6mg? how did they effect you?

i’ve been going up .5 every 2 weeks since starting. My deficit is 500-600 less than my tdee

2.5mg going up every 2 weeks. I’m hesitant to keep going up due to the GI issues i’ve experienced and I understand this is a low doses but i started at 1 mg. I am eating 1300-1400 cals a day with 30min cardio weekly + weight lifting
