Just reached 180 pounds starting from 278. Began back on May 15 2025 so roughly seven months ago. Feeling really proud of the progress. RETA turned out to be a genuine game changer that helped way more than expected. Happy to pass along any tips or tricks if anyone wants them.
278 to 180 pounds
Summary
How did someone drop from 278 to 180 pounds on Reta over seven months?
One user reports reaching 180 pounds from 278 after starting in mid-May 2025. They began with Tirz at 3 mg weekly for the first month, switched to Reta at 6 mg after a stall around 230 pounds, and continued losing while eating more normally. They note minimal loose skin, ongoing food cravings, and feeling satisfied with smaller meals earlier on. Others mostly offer congratulations and ask about dosing or plateaus.
What this discussion establishes- Started Tirz then switched to Reta after a stall
- Lost steadily for seven months total
- Minimal loose skin noticed
- Still deals with food addiction but makes better choices
- Early phase allowed very low calories without hunger
Nothing here is advice.

My hope is that the path I take resembles yours closely. It was last month when I first tried reta at a weight of 261, with a desire to arrive at 205.

Could you expand on the process a bit more? I'm curious about height, how much Reta gets used, typical meals, any extra skin afterward, other compounds along with their results, and similar details. Really solid progress!
Wow this is fantastic The sole concern involves needing to rob a bank at 278 otherwise identification in any lineup becomes impossible

Sure thing, a lengthy update is on its way right now.

Were you trying to share your entire name publicly? Nice work incidentally!
That's really impressive! Were there moments when you quit replying? What helped you get beyond that point?
What an exciting development and we're glad no images were included. The joy we have for your accomplishment continues! 🥳 🥳 🥳

I'm thirty two and five foot seven with an ongoing weakness for anything cheesy. I held off on changing my habits until the first batch showed up and then used three milligrams each week from the twelve milligram containers for the opening thirty days. The effect was immediate. Food stopped crossing my mind so I could skip eating until dinner and still feel content after one plate. Pairing that with low carb wraps and either chicken or beef kept the meals filling without pushing calories high. Over the next few months I averaged around a thousand calories daily yet never sensed any real deprivation. By month four the first compound stopped producing results for a full thirty days straight and the scale stayed put near two hundred thirty pounds so I switched to the second option from the twenty four milligram containers at six milligrams. Losses started the very next week and have kept going. These days I grab fast food when I want it but end up picking better options because constant hunger is no longer an issue. Extra skin is barely noticeable unless I purposely tug at it. The thirty calorie wraps turned into a real helper. Stacking one with steak cheese and salsa easily makes five big tacos for about six hundred calories total while delivering plenty of protein and leaving me satisfied. I spent some time at the gym doing cardio but quit once I realized my job already gives me ten to twenty thousand steps daily.
That's a solid accomplishment. This outcome has to leave you thrilled with how it all came together.

It's wild getting all these nice words from colleagues and folks I haven't run into lately. Appreciate it!
Huge cheers all around for pulling this off. That has to feel incredible right now. Your win has me smiling too.
Wow, you must be reacting really well to it. I'm the same way and it sheds the weight while letting me keep eating meals. This feels like an unfair advantage.
