For research purposes, I started a weight loss journey on 1 August 2025 (with no peptides) at 120 kg.  
By 15 February 2026, after 229 days (7.5 months / 32.7 weeks) of training and dieting, I weighed 107.8 kg. 

That's a total loss of 12.2 kg. I was working hard, but I was still relatively new to both training and nutrition.

On 15 February, I started Retatrutide at 1 mg every 5 days.  
After just 8 weeks, on 12 April, I weighed 96.2 kg.

That's a loss of 11.6 kg in only 8 weeks, compared to the 12.2 kg it took me 32.7 weeks to lose naturally. 

I'd also argue that losing weight from 120 kg to 108 kg is generally easier than losing weight from 108 kg to 96 kg, making the comparison even more impressive.

I then took 4 weeks off Retatrutide to allow my body to adjust to its new weight. By this point I had lost 23.8 kg overall.

When I restarted on 10 May, my weight was 97.9 kg, meaning I had regained about 1.7 kg during the month off.

From 10 May to today (3 June) — a period of just 24 days (3 weeks and 3 days) — I increased my dose to 2 mg every 4 days.  
Today I weighed in at 90.8 kg.  
That's another 7.1 kg lost in only 24 days.

For additional context, my most recent InBody scan showed 15.5% body fat at 95.5 kg.

What I find most incredible is that according to my InBody scans, despite losing almost 30 kg overall (from 120 kg to 90.8 kg), I've only lost approximately 1 kg of muscle mass, with the vast majority of the weight coming from body fat.

For full transparency, during the original 8-week Retatrutide phase I was also using MOTS-C, and in my current cycle I am stacking CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin alongside Retatrutide.

Everyone's experience will be different, and this is just my personal journey, but based on my results so far, Retatrutide has been an absolute game changer. 

For me, it has accelerated fat loss far beyond what I was able to achieve through diet and training alone, while helping preserve muscle mass during the process.

I genuinely believe Retatrutide could become one of the most impactful tools we've ever seen in the fight against obesity.
