stalling harder than a legless man driving stick
-
this past month ive been stuck. currently testing reta at 6. ss31. and aod 250mcg twice daily. and for the life of me as soon as i see some progress it swings up sometimes as much as 5 pounds. drinking a gallon of water a day. fasting for aod. and eating smaller meals within a short window. no stall break. any ideas? im at the "alright now im not asking" phase of this stall. tips tricks and prayers would be welcomed haha.

You’re not alone. Started with .5. Held 2,3, and 4 for a month before uping dose. Currently holding at 4. Can actually eat meals now without gaining though, so that’s a plus.
Are you also taking waist circumference? My rat has lost 3” around their waist, so it’s still doing something even though not as fast as I’ve seen from other researchers.

I hear ya! It's been a real challenge trying to break this stall since November. 5th week into Reta, and I'm having insane cravings for Pizza and chocolate. I've never been a sweets person, so this is new to me. Completely different from my experience with Tirz(lost 95lbs) but still have 50+ (yes 50+ lol) to go! I'd still be on it if I hadn't quit responding to it. I did a cycle of 5 amino, scale didn't move either way so that was a plus. Going to try the 16/8 intermittent fasting again, see if that will jump start anything and probably another cycle of 5 amino. Did order some Cag to have on hand. But that will come much later, I'm not at a therapeutic dose yet with Reta.
The swings in the scale may be inflammation or water retention depending on what you eat.
How long have you been at 6mg? I've read several articles around the transition doses, 6mg being one of them before you see the metabolic effects at higher doses. Some people are just lucky and experienced that right away which makes me envious.
