Retatrutide Vlog: 95 lbs Down & Walking Back the Dosage (Day 45)

Today is Day 45 of my Retatrutide weight loss journey, and we have officially crossed the 32-week mark. With over 95 lbs lost since July, the focus is shifting from aggressive cutting to a calculated transition toward maintenance. I’m breaking down my plan to "walk back" my Retatrutide dosage, my final thoughts on HGH vs. Tesamorelin for fat loss, and why I’m putting a new testing lab to the clock this week. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro: Day 45 Stats & 95lb Weight Loss Milestone 1:03 TRT Protocol: Why Alpha MD is My Go-To Clinic 2:01 Gym Session: Moving to Dumbbells for Chest & Tri Growth 3:20 Family Win: Watching My Daughter’s National Cheer Competition 4:30 New Gym Update: Waiting on the February Soft Launch 5:25 The Reta Taper: Walking Down from 12mg to Maintenance 8:20 HGH vs. Tesamorelin: 12-Week Comparison & Water Retention Issues 12:42 GHK-Cu: My Protocol for Skin, Hair, and Zero Injection Pain 13:50 Lab Testing: Sending a New Batch to Finnrick for Speed Testing THE MAINTENANCE TRANSITION: As I get closer to my goal weight, I’m focused on building a sustainable exit strategy. I’m not a fan of the "cold turkey" approach; instead, I’m titrating my Retatrutide dose down—starting with a drop to 8mg today—to find the minimum effective dose for food noise management while I continue to refine my body composition. PROTOCOL & METRICS: - Current Weight: 240.8 lbs (Down 95.2 lbs total) - Retatrutide: 8mg (Titrating down from 12mg) - TRT: 150mg Test Cyp (via Alpha MD) - Support: 5IU HGH (Finishing 12-week cycle), 2mg GHK-Cu - Gym: Chest & Triceps (Heavy Dumbbell focus) LATEST EXPERIMENTS: I’m finishing up my 12-week HGH run and comparing the results to my previous Tesamorelin cycle. While HGH is king for recovery, the water bloat has been a significant drawback during this cut. I’ll be using my upcoming DEXA scan to see which peptide actually performed better for visceral fat reduction. Additionally, I’m testing Finnreach’s new $89 expedited testing service this week to see if their turnaround times have improved.
