Hey all,
I’m starting this log focused on getting healthier, building a better life & educating myself more about peptides, nutrition and training along the way. I figured this would be a good place to share my experiences, get feedback, and learn as I go.
Big shoutout to
@ZenithHealth for sponsoring my Retatrutide. I’m excited to see what progress I can make and to be able to look back on this log to stay honest and accountable.
Background & Current Progress:
• Started last year at 130 kg
• 30 years old
• 180 cm
• Was on prescribed Wegovy for about 6 months
• Came off it and decided to start learning more about peptides
• Current weight: 115 kg
• Coming into my 4th week of Retatrutide at 2mg
• Tolerating it reasonably well so far. In the first couple of weeks, I had a few headaches on and off & some issues with going to the toilet so I’ve increased my fibre intake and made sure I’m staying properly hydrated around 3L a day which seems to have helped.
Goals:
My immediate goal is continued fat loss, with the current target of getting under 100 kg while maintaining some muscle mass. From there, I’ll reassess and continue checking bloodwork along the way. Long term I would love to be around the 85-90kg mark while maintaining some solid muscle definition.
I know I’m currently dealing with low testosterone and high estrogen. As much as TRT is something I’ve thought about, I still want to have kids, so I’m holding off for now. I’m definitely open to advice on which direction to take when the time comes.
Supplements:
Planning to introduce these gradually one at a time alongside Retatrutide so I can properly assess how my body responds and how I feel.
• Tesamorelin
• MOTS-C
• Glow
I have some pretty bad skin scarring from reactions to mozzies as a kid that never healed well, so I’m hoping Glow might help with skin quality and possibly recovery.
Current plan for peptides:
Introduce Tesamorelin first for about 4-6 weeks, check bloodwork if all above board then try out Mots-c for 4-6 weeks then onto Glow.
(This is all to be run separately not together to gauge my body’s response and feeling while on Retatrutide)
Open to feedback on that approach.
Nutrition:
Currently aiming for 185g–220g of protein per day, keeping carbs and fats relatively low.
Being a FIFO worker on a 7/7 roster, camp food isn’t always ideal and we don’t get much choice at my site, it’s mostly whatever’s served. Because of that, I’ve shifted more toward a carnivore style diet focusing on the meats available each day plus vegetables. They usually rotate chicken breast, steak, roast pork/beef, etc.
I’ll be posting my meals and calories as I go.
Current calorie target: 1,800–2,100 per day
Bloodwork:

Body Scans:

Training:
Currently resistance training 4–5 times per week using a push/pull/legs split. I add cardio at the end of each push and pull session, plus some cardio on rest days.
I’ll post my workouts, exercises, sets, and calories burned as I go.
I’m really hoping to get solid feedback along the way especially around peptides, training, and nutrition. I’m keen to be a sponge learn as much as I can and keep myself accountable throughout this process.
Cheers legends!
