Peptide Critic Community

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 said in I’m a petite woman struggling with my weight in NYC:

1 gram of Protein per lb of body weight 100lbs=100grams of protein
-breakfast egg whites 2 whole eggs 1/2 cup egg whites
-1 protein shake 30grams protein
-lunch 6oz white fish /cod, green beans/broccoli
-1 protein shake 30 grams protein
-dinner 6oz white fish/cod, green beans/broccoli

just eat this every day and go slow with the reta!

Solid advice! Thank you so much for this!
