Sorry if you mentioned it elsewhere but how do the numbers above sit with say a maintenance level for you? The reason I ask is that overall macros seem fairly low. I'm worried that you may end up losing muscle.
1500 calories intake or higher is either maintaining or gaining weight . Very fine line for me
Same hey, collagen and GhkCu, hair is so thick now
Hey @queenbee87 welcome ! , thanks for sharing, fats are low there is a minimum amount you need to maintain healthy hormone production a female at 77kg your minimum is about 50g. Low fat can contribute to hair thining , dry skin , low libido and irregular cycle.
Yes for sure I'm now convinced of how amazing GHK-Cu is. @stevesmi was really curious about this and the verdict is in! I take 20g collagen ED along with 5mg of GHK-Cu in my KLOW lower left back along with 5mg GHK-Cu separately into my loose skin belly fat and my hair is noticeably thicker now and skin is great! It's a huge collagen synthesis peptide and works crazy synergy with BPC/TB.
Despite not been able to inject this last week my appetite and food noise has been reasonable to manage.
This week i am 
on the scales as my 'monthly cycle' being the main contributing factor approaches. This is normal for me to appear 1-2 kgs heavier and will reduce as it comes and goes.

I worked these for 20 years on and off while with police force and they suck ass. I'd even get home and have to stay awake to put my girls on the school bus (Mom was also a shift worker working days when I worked nights).
What's the dose on 1 tablet? Collagen is one of the best supplements for hair, skin, nails and you need it for collagen synthesis for recovery as well. I bet you should up this dose.
As long as you're prepping I think you're good. Not many shift workers (especially nights) prepped on my team and would grab something before heading out (of course from somewhere 'fast').
You are doing really well @queenbee87 .Your workout exercise choice and volume is really good.

My sense of humour is like seasoning not for everyone but definitely essential because if I don’t laugh I’d probably cry for sure . Night shifts sure are rough but not as rough as the coming home and needing to live a normal life with a toddler . Can make it challenging and I’m sure half the time I’m pretty unhinged because of it .
amazing what happens when you read!
Thank you. My volume used to be a lot better then it is right now . I used to be able to push incredible weight on leg days -350kg leg presses . 100kg leg extensions . Over the last 2-3 years I’ve lost so much strength and have found my dedication lacking while going through uni at the time . The good thing about this is I know what I am capable of and how strong I can be . These are always in the back of my mind driving me .You are doing really well @queenbee87 .Your workout exercise choice and volume is really good. Your food is quality and you are working hard to not eat during the hardest of work times.....night shifts.

I like you're training hard @queenbee87 try using extra psyllium husk when no GLP1 to help make you full
Great update overall. Massive credit for still getting the key sessions done despite night shifts, poor sleep and no injections. That’s real consistency.
The scale bump makes total sense with cycle timing and missing a dose, nothing to stress about there. Food choices still solid too, even with the night shift cravings creeping in, that’s a win in my book.
Also… fully agree, AusPost sucks
Keep your head up, you’re doing really well all things considered. Once the dose is back in and sleep normalises a bit, things will tighten up again quickly.
Also loving the humour and the pics, food looking great
can you post a picture of the rash please? @queenbee87This week I’ve broken out in a bad rash . Dr says it’s an allergy to something , however nothing new been introduced and it came out of no where. Maybe I’m allergic to not having my Retatrutide injection
Unlikely as I was at homeCould it be environmental? Your work carries a certain risk in this area.
Doesn't look good, are you injecting right into that are? @queenbee87
That is quite a large rash, I have heard of allergic reactions to certain peptides but haven't seen it myself with Retatrutide, usually an allergic reaction will happen pretty quickly after the first injection, not weeks later.. not sure what it could be
No I had no injection for over a week as I had no stuff thanks to Aus post .
I don’t think it’s from Reta . Maybe from not having Reta
my body annoyed it’s had no injection hahaha
this started how long after your last pin though? @queenbee87
I don’t think it’s from Reta . Maybe from not having Reta
Like a week and half . It’s beginning to clear now which is nice , and I’ve had an injection yesterday with no concerns
Glad to hear you are back on it, in the time between injections did you notice a big difference, e.g. was hunger a concern?
good to hear
For the rash pic I see a small bruise below most angry part of the rash, it's near the bottom right of the pic. Is that where you pinned and if you have low platelets that would explain the bruise along with the rash outbreak being more pronounced right where you pinned.
Ha! I thought so LOL.The collagen tablet dose is 833.33mg and for the first time I’ve just actually read the instructions and it advises to take 3 tablets . So there you go
Shout out to @ZenithHealth. My 20mg vial of Retatrutide arrived and it did not disappoint. 2.5mg has been enough this week to keep my appetite suppressed and me feeling good, as always your communication is. Keeping me up to date with progress on the delivery when Australia post went MIA. Appreciate how honest and genuine you are with all advise and any issues that arise.
: After missing a complete week on injections due to Australia post, I'm back in business this week. I've switched from the pen to the 20mg Vial from @ZenithHealth. I had gained some scale weight this last week and this was mainly due to hormonal changes and menstrual cycle. As expected I have began to return back to my current weight baseline and hoping I can make some progression to drop under the 75kgs and get things moving this week in a more downwards motion. : no side effects to report
Been really focused and motivated this week in the gym, having the energy to train this has been a really good outlet emotionally. Reduced appetite and cravings at a minimum.Weight trending down No Injection this week + menstrual cycle clothes are feeling loser this week Honey Oats on Skim Milk 4g Protein Protein Quick oats Skim 9g ProteinMoccona Coffee on skim Fresh broccoli, sweet potatoChicken breast Rump steak Yopro Protein yoghurt

4 decent training days in this week which I'm really happy with. Been extra focused on making time and effort to turn up in the gym, this has been a really good for an emotional reset when I'm stressed or not feeling great, headphones on and ignoring the world and all's it's problems. Days 2 and 3 of my menstrual cycle I avoid the gym mainly due to it being to heavy for me wanting to contend with the embarrassment if something goes wrong so those days are rest days for me. This week I have focused in on back, chest and shoulders , leg day and arm day. Using the Hevy app to track my work out sets, I've just noticed it has a new calories tab . I'm not sure how accurate this is but I've included it .

Happy this week overall. I have made some good progress in the gym which I feel has been my main focus this week, I've been trying push past the excuses of not going and showing up getting it done, although at times the calories intake has been way to low I've continued making the better choices with food and I am impressed by my consistency when it comes to cooking as I would avoid this like the plague. Although the scales have returned back to my baseline weight my clothes are feeling on the looser side ,

4 decent training days in this week which I'm really happy with. Been extra focused on making time and effort to turn up in the gym, this has been a really good for an emotional reset when I'm stressed or not feeling great, headphones on and ignoring the world and all's it's problems. Days 2 and 3 of my menstrual cycle I avoid the gym mainly due to it being to heavy for me wanting to contend with the embarrassment if something goes wrong so those days are rest days for me. This week I have focused in on back, chest and shoulders , leg day and arm day. Using the Hevy app to track my work out sets, I've just noticed it has a new calories tab .

@queenbee87 making progress well done!
Thank you . Yes the carbs are coming from the high veggie intake mainly around theYou're looking good sister
i would suggest cutting carbs by about 30 grams and boost protein by 10-20 for the training
and you're doing a lot of volume, no DOMS?
sweet potatoes cause I’m using them as a filler . I also need to get some lean protein , my partner has some here but one shake is 600 calories so would blow me out in calorie intake and leave no room for actual food . 
I’m definitely getting DOMS with these volumes . Usually doesn’t kick in for 2 days post work out. And when It does I generally cripple myself and have regrets . Some general exercises are probably repeating the same thing and probably unnecessary I do understand that. I’m not that knowledgeable at working it all out yet . I’m adjust as I learn new things along the way . Thanks for your valuable input as always .
Thank you sisterI just wanted to comment on how well formatted this update was.
Nothing hits my pleasure receptors like good formatting!
Great progress, and the training volume is very impressive!
haha I’m just going with the flow trying to keep it all consistent and easy to follow . I’m working my way back to pre baby days in terms of volume. I feel so weak these days compared to the old days . But it’s all a journey each and everytime . I always love a challenge when it comes to internally defeating myself . Eventually I’ll impress myself once more .

Happy this week overall. I have made some good progress in the gym which I feel has been my main focus this week, I've been trying push past the excuses of not going and showing up getting it done, although at times the calories intake has been way to low I've continued making the better choices with food and I am impressed by my consistency when it comes to cooking as I would avoid this like the plague. Although the scales have returned back to my baseline weight my clothes are feeling on the looser side ,
Good to know , encouraging that others can notice the changes that I can’t yet see. I also had this comment at work from a nursing sister who also noticed .Amazing update as always, happy to see your weight is back on a downward trend, its never fun missing doses.
Keep up the good work, can definitely notice changes regarding the progress pics
. This goes a long way when it comes to encouragement and feeling like my hard work is achieving something .
@queenbee87 you're getting there slowly but surely. You can always increase the dose of the retatrutide and see if that will spur more results, but I think you're good at 2.5mg a week. That's a good one.Week 5 - Retatrutide

4 decent training days in this week which I'm really happy with. Been extra focused on making time and effort to turn up in the gym, this has been a really good for an emotional reset when I'm stressed or not feeling great, headphones on and ignoring the world and all's it's problems. Days 2 and 3 of my menstrual cycle I avoid the gym mainly due to it being to heavy for me wanting to contend with the embarrassment if something goes wrong so those days are rest days for me. This week I have focused in on back, chest and shoulders , leg day and arm day. Using the Hevy app to track my work out sets, I've just noticed it has a new calories tab . I'm not sure how accurate this is but I've included it .

Final thoughts
Happy this week overall. I have made some good progress in the gym which I feel has been my main focus this week, I've been trying push past the excuses of not going and showing up getting it done, although at times the calories intake has been way to low I've continued making the better choices with food and I am impressed by my consistency when it comes to cooking as I would avoid this like the plague. Although the scales have returned back to my baseline weight my clothes are feeling on the looser side ,
Yeah when we look at ourselves it's hard to notice changes as we see ourselves everyday, but for us its plain as day to see, the good thing is the more you lose weight the more noticeable it is, keep on keeping on you sill hardly be able to recognise yourself in a few months!Good to know , encouraging that others can notice the changes that I can’t yet see. I also had this comment at work from a nursing sister who also noticed .
Yeah I have to agree, if you feel like your not losing weight as fast as you like. Feel free to up the dose!
That is very true but I do also recognise I have a bad tendency to starve myself and I don’t want to do that this time around . This time I really want to build the better food habits rather then literally starving my body again of everything as i did last time . The consequences were just not worth it and without proper nutrition I just can’t train either . So some food noise for me is ok . It’s very minimal at the time moment and not bothersome . I will absolutely though increase the dose accordingly when the time comes .
Yep can't agree with you more
I have 5mg and I’m not afraid to use it
but for now I won’t disrupt what’s working
Yeah with vials you can always increase the dose slightly, when you feel ready can always give 3mg a go.I have 5mg and I’m not afraid to use it
Thank you . Yes the carbs are coming from the high veggie intake mainly around the
Girl, you literally made children! Give yourself some slack!Thank you sister
yeah reta can be ran up to much higher with the studies. some people need that for a bit
The tricep extensions really go a long way and then the dips, they took a beating, I'm sure. I'm sure you got a little sore the next day, which is great. @queenbee87Week 5 - Retatrutide

I have made some good progress in the gym which I feel has been my main focus this week, I've been trying push past the excuses of not going and showing up getting it done, although at times the calories intake has been way to low I've continued making the better choices with food and I am impressed by my consistency when it comes to cooking as I would avoid this like the plague. Although the scales have returned back to my baseline weight my clothes are feeling on the looser side ,

4 decent training days in this week which I'm really happy with. Been extra focused on making time and effort to turn up in the gym, this has been a really good for an emotional reset when I'm stressed or not feeling great, headphones on and ignoring the world and all's it's problems. Days 2 and 3 of my menstrual cycle I avoid the gym mainly due to it being to heavy for me wanting to contend with the embarrassment if something goes wrong so those days are rest days for me. This week I have focused in on back, chest and shoulders , leg day and arm day. Using the Hevy app to track my work out sets, I've just noticed it has a new calories tab . I'm not sure how accurate this is but I've included it .

Whats new: The week has been great in terms of training, I've put a great deal of time and effort into gym this week keeping it consistent and noticing a increase in weight through some of my training days. In terms of appetite suppression this has been stable this week , I've noticed I'm struggled to want to eat food even though I'm on the 2.5mg dose, because the food intake is on the decrease ive made sure I started on a protein shake to help fill in the voids this week and at least keep the protein intake up as much as I can. No scale weight loss this week , scale has trended up, not sure if this is cause I'm training weights or the way I'm training but I do feel stuck weight wise. This week I'm going to increase my dose up to possibly 3mg and see if I can get it to shift.

Final thoughts
Going to increase the dose this week and see what happens. Got a busy and challenging week coming up. Silly me went back to uni so this week I'll be away from home for 4 days in a residential school , food will be challenging , gym will be challenging, and I feel like I'll be tested this week even in terms of being able to cook, might be a week for muscle chef.

Final thoughts
Going to increase the dose this week and see what happens. Got a busy and challenging week coming up. Silly me went back to uni so this week I'll be away from home for 4 days in a residential school , food will be challenging , gym will be challenging, and I feel like I'll be tested this week even in terms of being able to cook, might be a week for muscle chef.
Improvements every weekWeek 6- Retatrutide
Medication
Current : Retatrutide 20mg vial from Zenith health
Current Dose: 2.5mg
Frequency: Once weekly Thursday.
Injection location: Abdomen (keeping 2-5cms from belly button) looking for fatty tissue for optimal drug absorption
Whats new: The week has been great in terms of training, I've put a great deal of time and effort into gym this week keeping it consistent and noticing a increase in weight through some of my training days. In terms of appetite suppression this has been stable this week , I've noticed I'm struggled to want to eat food even though I'm on the 2.5mg dose, because the food intake is on the decrease ive made sure I started on a protein shake to help fill in the voids this week and at least keep the protein intake up as much as I can. No scale weight loss this week , scale has trended up, not sure if this is cause I'm training weights or the way I'm training but I do feel stuck weight wise. This week I'm going to increase my dose up to possibly 3mg and see if I can get it to shift.

Continued using macro factor to track my nutrition. Not a good week
in terms on calories in, night shift played a role, emotional melt down and stress played a role
in me just not wanting to eat or not feeling hungry.

Going to increase the dose this week and see what happens. Got a busy and challenging week coming up. Silly me went back to uni so this week I'll be away from home for 4 days in a residential school , food will be challenging , gym will be challenging, and I feel like I'll be tested this week even in terms of being able to cook, might be a week for muscle chef.
: no side effects to reportappetite stable with good suppression, this has been a blessing in terms of being away, I avoided food disasters . very thankful I had Reta on board with me. Weight again has not shifted on the scales, but had a few cm drop on the tape measure since starting so that's always a bonus being away from home, no meal prep or consistency, no training, 
No Injection this week + menstrual cycle clothes are feeling loser this week Honey Oats on Skim Milk 4g Protein Protein Quick oats Skim 9g Protein
Cafe Bacon and egg wrap + coffee
overnight oats with berry compote Greek yoghurt and granola with fruit Acai Bowl with whey protein avocado and cucumber sushi muscle chef/ Strength meals these included chicken and roast veggies, butter chicken with brown rice

Medication

Injection location: Abdomen (keeping 2-5cms from belly button) looking for fatty tissue for optimal drug absorption
Whats new: This week is going to be a pretty poor log in terms on any information. I have been away in Brisbane for uni at residential school. These have been very full on days in terms on information overload, standing on my feet all day travelling in and out of the city and navigating life.
I havent been able to track my food as scanning or weighing anything was impossible however I will list the foods I have eaten. Im completely riding this whole week off like it never even existed. This was really hard and challenging to navigate but onwards and upwards. Last injection I increased my dose to 3mg with good appetite suppression, this has most likely played a role in better food choice while away rather then binge eating all the glorious junk food Brisbane has to offer, breaks were time poor at uni too, never alot of time to find anything decent to eat as by time you find it your eating on the run. Sorry in advance but sometimes that's just life and you gotta roll with punches.
