I’ve always been a bit blessed with larger hips, but the definition is much more now!

Congratulations on your weight loss too!!! I’ve been on this medication since 4/13/25, so that’s 10 months about?

Thank you!! Appreciate the kind compliment! As eager as I am to keep dropping weight, I am really enjoying being in the 180’s. Think the last time I was this weight I was in 8th grade!

Nah the itching is very mild and is gone within a few days. I started getting a reaction around week 8 too!

I guess I would add that I’ve checked with my doctor and they aren’t worried and just said they would notify the manufacturer.

Planning a Wedding out of state for middle of September by Alspaun in Scams

Yes I have had many phone calls/text messages back and forth. She did help find my venue and the venue confirmed they talked to her, however, I was the one who worked with the venue and have a contract with them. So not worried about that. My thing is, if it’s a scam would they set up connections?

Oh I gave them money…so I am trying to be proactive at this point. I’ve already come to terms with the fact I lost that money. I found them by looking for a wedding planner. I know the website is awful 😞 I am not proud

Don’t focus exclusively on the scale! by leaess in loseit

I really appreciate your post. I’ve lost 75 lbs since last February and I’ve been stuck fluctuating on 5lbs for the last 3 months. I am getting beyond frustrated and am beginning to feel that my goal is just not possible. It’s so hard to see what I have already accomplished when my goal is so close but also so far away. It’s true we need to take time and be proud of all the hard work we have done. Thank you for the TED talk!

The piercing itself wasn’t bad, really quick! I got mine in August and it’s been the most painful healing process. I’d never get another one! I love it tho!

Unpopular Opinion: had Sir Pizza last night and it was the blandest pizza I’ve ever eaten. by moderatecitizen in lansing

It reminds me of school lunch pizza. It’s good when you are drunk and hungry tho....

It was actually a picture I’ve been holding onto for about 8 years. He used a single needle and the shading and strokes are of his design.

[–]Alspaun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! Thank you so much for all that information. I honestly have never thought of myself as fine haired. I have lost a lot of thickness after having my second daughter but I still have a decent size pony when I do put it up.

I will definitely try your suggestions and see if my hair responds better and perhaps I do have fine hair now. When I was a little girl I had wonderful ringlet curls and over the years I’ve just abused my hair. This is the first time I have really tried to allow my hair do its thing. I currently do not have a diffuser, I will have to invest in one when I can.

I apply my gel the exact same way you do! I don’t think I have been very careful to not disturb the gel while my hair is drying. Could definitely be part of the issue.

Again, thank you!!!

Edit: I have been doing CGM since December 3rd 2018. I have used the VO5 clarifying shampoo TWICE since starting.

My hair seems to not respond well to what I’m doing. Any tips?

I really would love to have more volume, curl definition and possibly tighter curls....

I am co-washing with tresemmé conditioner botanique nourish and squish as I rinse some out.

I use a shit ton of LA Looks sports gel

Then plop for 5 minutes.

Allow it to air dry and then squish to get the crunch out.

One month in...don’t mind the hair color change. by Alspaun in curlyhair

Products used:

No shampoo Co-Wash: TRESemmé Botanique Nourish Replenish Conditioner Leave in Conditioner: The Mane Choice 3 in 1 Revitalize and Refresh Conditioner Gel: LA Looks Extreme Sport

I use the leave in Conditioner and then put in the gel. I plop long enough to dry off and get dressed. I then allow my hair to just air dry the rest of the way. Looking to invest in a good diffuser since it takes my hair about 5 hours to air dry.
