Hi everyone — new here and wanted to introduce myself. I'm 56, and I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I've been on and off HRT for years, and honestly, it never did anything for me. Then in 2019, I had an injury, and between that and menopause, I gained 60 pounds. Nothing touched it. I finally tried the GLP-1 route. Semaglutide first — two months, and I felt HORRIBLE. Switched to tirzepatide for three more months. Not as bad, but still bad. Five months on GLP-1s and I had gained two pounds. I gave up. I figured peptides just weren't for me, and that I'd spent thousands on weight loss over the years for nothing. Here's the part that really got me: after I recovered from my injury, I signed up for an Ironman this coming October. I have been training since October 2025 — consistently, seriously — and lost 0.0 pounds. Zero. Training for an Ironman, and the scale would not move. Then a friend told me about retatrutide. I started reading other people's results and I was amazed. I thought — What the heck. What do I have left to lose? I'm down 14 pounds and still losing. But the biggest difference isn't the scale — it's that I FEEL GREAT. After feeling so awful on the other two, that's everything. I LOVE Reta. It has been like MAGIC for me, and I'm so thankful I found it. This is just my experience — everyone's body is different, and what worked for me may not work for you. But I wanted to share it in case someone else out there had written peptides off as I had. Excited to learn from all of you.

I've been doing green drinks for years. I love the taste AG1 formula...plus I add 2 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinger, which helps with blood sugar. Today, a friend I've know since elementary school reached out of FB when I posted this photo from my daughter's wedding this past June. He said, '...you look the same as you did in 1985' ...LOL, must be the AG1😉

This woman went to her doctor and was able to tell her the exact levels she wants to be for testosterone. I would have no idea what number I “feel good at”. On top of all we do, we must now be scientists!
