A PRELIMINARY RETA EXIT.
-
Appreciate the feedback but you and I might have different goals. I can only speak of my own experience. I am not one of those people. I have no need or want to continue on these for the rest of my life and have cycled them multiple times. These have provided me windows to change my relationship with food, start training with regularity, and maintain a calorie deficit to hit goals. I lost 180 pounds. I am not looking to lose any more weight. Im looking to lose fat and gain muscle. Metabolic adaptation happens whenever you are in a prolonged energy deficit. Chronically undereating will not help me to achieve those goals. Lastly as a person who was 380 pounds and obviously had an issue with food addiction I will gladly take a break to make sure my mind hasn't become dependent on the jab.

@Mydogdaryl423 I am in between. I am content where I am. Up to this point I have no need to push but just maintain a healthy life. I am 55yo with a young wife, infant and a toddler. More about longevity then anything else. Never had an elite physic but have maintained above average. Til this day I still chase extropy. And peptides are fascinating. I just need a break.

Do you have excess skin?@Mydogdaryl423
Do you have excess skin?Some but a lot less than you would think. By going in cycles and not doing it all at one time I think my body had a chance to adapt over time. I went from 387 to 330. Then would fluctuate from 330 to 300 for a while. Then down to 280 back up to 330. Back to 280. Last year I got down to 235. The last 6 months I went from 235 to 201. I would also note that I absolutely saw a difference in my skin tightness after researching Glow. The last part, I got bigger to fill it out. Lol

@Mydogdaryl423 On your off cycles. What tips do you have?
@Mydogdaryl423 On your off cycles. What tips do you have?
Use it to your advantage. Use the extra calories. Coincide it with training. Maybe switch up your training to challenge your body. If your a high rep guy go low rep and heavier or vice versa. Switching up what I ate was key. I was eating such small portions. Learning to increase those portions and make higher volume meals was a great skill to learn. Watch the scale. You want it to go up but very small. You know you can cut later.

@Mydogdaryl423 Already noted. I'll drop my experience here weekly. I am doing more reps less heavy on shoulder and chest due I have a shoulder replacement. It has not giving me any trouble until I started gaining mass on the shoulders. It started to press against the implant. But I am working around it.

So Glow did help? My mother has lost quite a bit of weight and is concerned over the skin.

It obviously could be anecdotel but I had much more loose skin before glow. I absolutely see the difference. I would say the most important thing she could do is manage the weight loss. Dont lose too much too fast.

@Mydogdaryl423 Yes that's what I told her. She was a triz but not covered anymore and got expensive. She still has some left. She started reta a month ago and loves it. She is eating well and losing slowly but losing. The idea is losing slowly and allowing the skin to adapt. I was considering sending her some
GHK-CU but I dont know if she can pin that much. Guess it runs in the family. I ammalso sending her some bpc and tb for them mechanical aches. -

Today is the day. Instead of 1mg I went for .5mg, the tapering starts. I was talking to a friend and she said after a couple of months of 1-1.5mg she was off for over a month and didn't have a hunger attack. She has been getting off the slop before reta, as I. If there is a rebound I want to feel it. Bring it!
