sharing in case anyone is curious. 19f, i've been on reta for about 3.5 weeks. started as bmi 20~21, not overweight, but wanting to slim out. ive lost about 13 lbs so far, and am super super happy with the results. my face has noticeably slimmed out which was very important to me. i feel so much more confident already. the eficacy of the reta is obviously most potent right when I pin, so for the first few days after i pin its difficult to eat anything at all. at like 4-7 days after it becomes much easier to get food down but I am still not feeling significant hunger. the main side effect i experienced was dysesthesia, meaning my skin was really sensitive to the touch almost like i had a sunburn, but it has gotten significantly better up to this point. also just some lower energy and not being able to go as hard at the gym, but that can just be chalked up to not eating enough calories. overall, super happy with it.
