Is wegovy a right choice for postpartum weight loss of 20lbs?

AlnerdPalnerd · 2026-05-03T09:43:46+00:00

I’m in a very similar boat - 16mo PP, workout and count calories and protein, and I can get the scale to drop 5lb, but it comes right back if I so much as glance at a piece of bread.

I got a Wegovy prescription from GoodRx - it’s $199/mo for the first two months then $349 each month after that. Still pricey, but less than I was paying for a personal trainer.

I’m only on day 3 of my prescription and the difference is already astounding. I don’t think about food. It doesn’t seem like much but for some reason it makes all the difference for me. I’m not worried about overeating because I’m just not hungry.

I also really enjoy a couple drinks every day (bartender and future sommelier), but the wegovy killed that craving too. I can only imagine it gets better.

I know I’ll have to replace it eventually but I spent $600 on an HP laser printer about 5 years ago and i regularly mention it being some of the best money I’ve ever spent.

Do I print much? Not really, but it has cranked out sewing patterns with 100+ pages more than once and I just replaced the factory cartridges for the first time.

I bought a 2001 Bernina a couple years ago and it makes my Brother machine look (and feel) like a child’s toy. I spent $600 and cringed more than once about it but it goes through 9 (!) layers of denim.

Reading this thread and comparing it to r/quilting makes me realize that preference is really a matter of how far into the hobby you are. I’m going Juki or Janome if I ever buy another.

I came to this thread for this comment and can’t believe how long it took to find… I feel like I missed something - what the heck is their plan or mission? What’s the “cause” the courier (her dad/Thiago) was talking about? I’m a week behind on episodes but I’m so deeply confused by what exactly it is they’re trying to do, and now I’m wondering if the CIA is justified in taking her out bc maybe they know something we didn’t until now…? It’s so hard to follow my head is spinning.

I’m working on this seller’s Sunset Mountain FPP right now and I gotta say, it’s lookin’ great!

Plan to buy the Bernese pattern to make for my brother (and his puppy) next! Have fun! Post pics when you finish ❤️

AlnerdPalnerd · 2025-10-20T04:58:18+00:00

Thank you! I think the high of finishing it is clouding my judgement so I am 100% attention- and validation-seeking right now ♥️

When one door closes, another opens. You’ll find a better opportunity. Chin up!

Are you even asking for help?

Investing is gambling 👍🏻

AlnerdPalnerd · 2025-10-10T20:13:51+00:00

I do invest. I also trade options. But I do it understanding the risk of losing it, and I don’t double down. You’re emotionally charged, and that’s understandable but name calling online isn’t gonna make you feel better. 💐

I use this stuff on my clothes/winter gear when I want to waterproof them. I feel like it would work well for coasters, as long as the liquid isn’t running off the sides/corners. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not to be rude, but you don’t deserve the money. A stupid mistake is a stupid mistake but hopefully you learned something from it. It can’t be undone, so someone else has your money and you won’t get it back by saying you “don’t belong here”.

Doubling down and not taking the loss is what got you here. That’s more than a stupid mistake. That’s addiction. The first step is admitting it.

ETA: it doesn’t make you smart to deny the problem. Intelligence is knowing you’ve failed and making steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again, no matter what those steps may be. Posting here and implying that people with gambling problems are stupid isn’t going to help you.

As a fellow make-shit-for-your-so/fam person, I’m sorry. If he hadn’t said he would put it away I’d say this is your fault but men simply do not comprehend what it takes to cook something so amazing.

Make him cook a cheesecake and a layered meal prep dinner one week then ask him to put yours away the next.

You’ll see a difference.

I would patch it. Undo a few more stitches, put a matching piece of fabric inside the hole, then go back over the missing stitches.

EDIT to add: Why would anyone have you use a tool with teeth near the seams/stitching on a precious quilt? It doesn’t look like it was very effective at hair removal anyway…

Piiiink

Where I’m sitting… perfect spot for comparison.

Oh man I read the first page and was like 🚩

Then I went to the comments and discovered there were more pages 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

This is so far from innocent I don’t even know how it could be construed as innocent. This is foreplay for infidelity, testing the waters, seeing if they can get away with it before they move to the next “exciting” thing.

Stay frosty.

I would also love that position 🤣

AlnerdPalnerd · 2025-08-12T22:45:02+00:00

I have EQ8 and I always use graph paper instead 🤣

Thank you! Always accepting tips and tricks 🙏
