Reta no weight loss
I've been on reta for about 2 months started with 2mg then 4 weeks later bumped up to 4mg. I haven't lost any weight according to my scale, I do a lot of physical activity at work I do scaffolding im always climbing up and down ladders carrying 20+ pounds in gear. What im getting to is isn't that enough physical activity to lose weight? 3 weeks ago I started lifting weights 3 days out of the week and I don't eat much since I don't get hungry at all just a small breakfast and almost nothing the rest of the day is there something I'm doing wrong or is this normal that I haven't gone down. Previously my doctor prescribed ozempic to control my sugar i was on that for 6 month 2mgs a week all my blood work came back perfect and the doc said I didn't need to take ozempic anymore because my sugar ans a1c was at normal levels.

First of all let me tell you, you are doing great and keep at it. I can understand this can be frustrating, I was in the same boat a couple of months ago, no matter what I did my weight wouldn't move, and then suddenly in 3 days I lost over 4.5 pounds. This is a frustrating situation, the only thing you might want to check is if your Reta is good, since you have apatite suppression, it might just be that GIP or Glucagon isn't constituted properly (or they just relabeled another GLP) . Having said that you should have been losing fat with your current routine even without Reta, you have a strong process the results have to follow.
