Retatrutide: Weight Loss at 8 weeks #530

Reta user here: Starting weight 195, now 185. First shot was June 30, so almost 8 weeks in now. I've been doing split week dosing, beginning with 1mg twice weekly and now I'm at 3mg twice weekly. I am very active, 12k-15k steps a day and not sedentary but little to no actual gym time. I work 2 jobs and don't have much margin. I feel that my loss isn't very fast, I expected 2-3 lbs a week and I'm only seeing ~1.25 lbs loss a week. I'm not convinced this is the magic shot many say it is...
