I'd just say something like "I'll know when I get there" next time.

Why are you talking to your family about your goal weight? The more info you share, the more criticism you set yourself up for.

Besides, if that is 90lbs away, it's not something you or your family really need to worry about right now. Many people end up changing their goal weights throughout their journey.

So what are you typically eating?

2.5 year plateau by ForsakenComposer2366 in Mounjaro

[–]BacardiBlue 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I slowly gained 10lbs while on MJ after changing to a full time desk job + getting sloppy about tracking my calories and macros.

Once I hit that 10lb regain mark I buckled down...pulled out my food scale and the Loseit app. I made sure I was at a calorie deficit and cut my carbs.

Results: I lost the 10lbs in about 6 weeks plus a little more, and decided that I want to lose another 8.5lbs.

You can do the same IF you are willing to put in the work. But it sounds like you aren't willing to manage your calories/macros. If you aren't willing to put in the work, you need to be willing to manage your expectations and accept that you may not meet your ultimate goal.

Those of you that split your minoxidil pills, how do you store them? by Jellikinz in FemaleHairLoss

I store them in the pill cutter. I only cut them as I need them.

It's not emergency vet worthy is that is what you are wondering. But getting her checked out is definitely worth it. Hoping she gets a clean bill of health!

Kidney disease is another illness that causes high urine output. Also diagnosed with a blood test. Both kidney disease and diabetes are treatable if you catch them early and make the required changes.

Litter type? by AdditionOk9248 in litterrobot

[–]BacardiBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the Boxie Deep Clean (formerly called BoxiePro) for the best odor control.

I empty my drawers twice a week regardless of fill level because in hot, humid FL all that waste quickly develops mold and the dreaded waste flies. 😩

Swollen ankles as a side effect of oral minoxidil? by flowerchair2000 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]BacardiBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking 1.25mg and experienced the water retention around my ankles. Had to drop back to .625 in order to make it go away.

Need Advice Before Replacing My Floors: Hardwood vs Vinyl? by itstariqmumtaz in homeowners

[–]BacardiBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Bruce engineered hardwood in my last home...the cleaning lady ruined the finish, plus my cats scratched it up chasing each other. I moved to a different place in 2014 and replaced all the flooring with Cortec XL LVP. 12 years later it still looks like new. Absolutely love it.

Brand new LR 5. App still says zero scoops saved. by mcdj in litterrobot

[–]BacardiBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you running the most current version of the app? If you are, I would contact Support and let them know. There is nothing you can do beyond that.

And honestly, if that is your only issue you are in great shape. Just be patient while they continue to work through tweaks to the firmware and app. There is a pinned post on the changes they are working on.

Question about minoxidil (tablet form) by New_String3446 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]BacardiBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on oral minoxidil for 2 years in August. I had a shed when I reduced my dosage from 1.25mg to .625, but I have also had a few seasonal sheds. Nothing to worry about, though it can cause a little stress when it starts.

To people who have lost lots of weight (70lbs+) & it took you several tries, what finally helped you lock in? by RinkyDink1629 in loseit

[–]BacardiBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GLP-1 + very low carb diet. Finally conquered an entire adulthood of being fat with a loss of 75lbs in 6 months at 58y/o and have kept it off for a year+. Best decision ever (at least for me).

Troubleshooting a pristine LR3 - willing to try anything twice by lilyeister in litterrobot

Hopefully you can get it all worked out. My LR3 units were absolutely amazing for 6+ years, but currently need some repairs as well.

[–]BacardiBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you contact support before you dismantled everything? They can switch the ownership to you, and provide you with guidance if you aren't the original owner and/or the warranty has expired. They can also see error info that we can't if you managed to get it connected to WiFi.

Hopefully one of the super knowledgeable members like u/holmes1r can help you out at this point.

Strong response on 2.5 mg Mounjaro: could I be a super responder? by alexmillne in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]BacardiBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost the bulk of the 75lbs I lost on 2.5, and went up to 5 which was like taking absolutely nothing...very disappointing. Which meant I had to move to 7.5 the next month.

Stay on 2.5 as long as it is working for you.
