I’m a petite woman struggling with my weight in NYC
-
I’m a petite tiny woman from NYC that suffered from overweight and obesity for several years due to my health condition, PCOS. I decided to get on tirzepatide (Zepbound) in October 2024, and I had lost over 30lbs by July 2025. Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering for Zepbound and I had to switch to semaglutide (Wegovy) in August of 2025. Since on wegovy, I lost a measly 8 lbs.
I still need to lose the last pesky 18lbs.
I discovered retatrutide through sheer algorithmic chances on tiktok. And through TikTok, I decided to research this discovery on Reddit. Reddit led me through a rabbit-hole and Twitter and YouTube, which led me to this website! I am really excited to read through this forum and find a community from non-judgmental and like-minded people.
After hundreds of hours worth of research, I'm putting in my order this week!
Next month, I have my cousin's engagement party to attend in Atlanta, and I will have to do a solo dance performance. I have to now. The pressure is really on to look my best since this will be professionally filmed.
I hope to lose at least 8 lbs to reach my goal in mid May with Reta.

@brandenscheidecker couldn't agree more. Low and slow.

I did it! I just put in my first order of Reta from Southern Amino! They have the best deals and the best COA I've seen so far, and I searched tons of vendors. Souther Amino seems to be the best option all around in terms of price and quality!
I will take my first shot next Thursday. Tonight, I will take my final shot of Wegovy then start my journey with Reta!

I hear the food noise/apatite control is a lot stronger with wegovy then reta.
When I started my rat on reta I gave him 2mg, for the first 4 weeks, then 3mg for 2 weeks, and then 4mg for 4 weeks. I have heard of people splitting there first week 1 mg on Sunday and 1mg on WedMy Rat got a 30mg bottle that I added 3ml of bac water to make the math easy 1 unit equals 1 mg
If I bought a 10 mg bottle I would pry add 1 ml of bac water so my rat gets a smaller shot 1mg per 10 unit that way. -

I am letting the Reta Clear out before i experiment withe supplementing my Tirz with the Cagri. will keep y'all postes as to how it goes/

Update: I received my Reta in the mail! I'm so excited! I will be taking my first shot next Thursday!
@MeraNaam I bought many times from Southern Aminos. They have been good and I like how they print the exact purity and actual fill amount. So remember 99% purity only, when reconstituting use Pfizer’s Hospira pharmaceutical grade bac water. Filtering your research peptides is good practice, especially into a pen cartridge which makes it so quick and easy once it’s loaded.
You are going to be awesome in Atlanta!!! -

You are going to be awesome in Atlanta!!!Thank you so much Beachfun! I literally purchased form Southern Amino too!! Once I saw the COA with recent date and nearly 99.9% purity, I jumped on the opportunity!
And yes, my BAC water is also from Pfizer Hospira.
As for the Peppen pen cartridge, I opted to use the AutoEject El pen, using the 10 unit syringes. I chose that since my boyfriend uses it for his Zepbound vials and it works quick and easy for him.
