INTRO 70 Days In | 235 → 210 lbs (6’0”) | 7.5mg Zepbound + Sermorelin | Working on Sleep & Body Comp

Hey everyone,

Finally making my intro post after lurking for a bit. I’m a middle-aged guy (6’0”) who reached a point where I knew I needed to make a real, lasting change for my health. Currently in the obese range, but heading in the right direction.

I’m 70 days in on Zepbound—currently on 7.5mg—and also utilizing Sermorelin 300mcg/5days.

Current Progress:

SW: 235 lbs

CW: 210 lbs (-25 lbs)

Goal: Rebuild overall health, drop fat, and protect muscle.

Current Challenges & Focus Areas:

1. Body Composition: Happy with the 25 lb drop, but my focus now is optimizing body comp. I want to make sure I’m holding onto lean muscle while losing fat, not just shedding weight blindly.

2. Sleep: Sleep quality has been a real struggle lately. I know solid rest is huge for recovery, hormone balance, and overall progress, so I'm trying to dial this in.

Glad to be here with a group on the same path. For anyone who has managed sleep issues or dialed in body recomposition on 7.5mg, I’d love to hear what worked for you (protein targets, lifting routines, sleep protocols, timing, etc.).

Looking forward to connecting!

Sounds like you are already having some good success! Keep it up! i'm 5 weeks in on Reta.. Not weighing myself BUT def lost weight and food noise is GONE. currently on 4mg and I might just stay at this dosage for a bit.

My wife just started Reta along with my brother going on week 3 started with .5mg then added another .5 3 days later then did 1mg week 2 I’m not sure it’s enough for her as she is not having any side effects at all no hunger loss and only lost 2lbs so far. We are considering going 1.5 tomorrow. Does this seem normal? Any advice for her is appreciated.

My brother also started at the same time with similar set up also not noticing anything.
