Hi folks.

I'm a 37 year old windsurfer and am trying to shed those last 20 pounds.

So far, calorie tracking, hiking, and protein shakes (to kill hunger) have been very effective. But I'm hitting a plateau in those final stubborn bodyfat percentages. Even with my new healthy habits it seems like the body really increases the difficulty level at around 17% bodyfat.

A friend of mine mentioned retatrutide and now I'm reta-curious. This seems like the community that has all the answers.

My goal: Get some advice and guidance from people who are in similar circumstances to myself and find a "tried and true" path with GLPs. I can trade some great information on conventional dieting and motivation.
 
Helloooo

Welcome.

Definitely read up on retatrutide to learn about what it does, how it does its magic, risks, and how to get them. It really is a life changing.
 
Thanks lastresort. It seems like the best one due to the triple action.

Im very very cautious with dosing so I think I will likely have lighter side effects than most (same situation with TRT... I keep it low)

Welcome, I'm also new. I'm hoping you get all the knowledge you need & have amazing results. (I lost around 20lbs in a month on reta; 10- 14 lbs were fat, I'd guess)
 
Welcome! There’s a ton of information to be found. I’ve lost around 10-12kgs on Reta, but it’s not a solution on its own. Think of it as a tool to make losing weight a bit easier, it still requires planning your meals, eating a deficit and exercising.

For me, the exercise part was down. But the food was hard to break the cycle, that’s where the Reta came in.

If you do start on it, please make sure to start low and be patient, before titrating up too quickly. There’s many people who do and it’s not necessary at all. Read up on it for sure so you know what you’re starting on!

If you have any questions about my journey, feel free to ask. The best of luck on yours!
 
Reta is a great tool to influence your diet and will help you break through your plateau. I found that it really helped me focus on only eating for fuel and thinking about what I put in my body. Since starting Reta when I eat things like pizza and ice cream, I feel worse than I did before Reta. Now I do not have the desire to eat that stuff, knowing how I will feel afterwards.

Awesome job on the -70lb loss without help from glp’s! Good job.
