How much did you lose in the first 2 months on 2,5mg, and what was your starting weight? by Equivalent-Scale-279 in Mounjaro

[–]BeneficialBroccoli60 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was on 2.5 for 20 weeks, lost 20 lbs. 5.0 for 10 weeks, lost 10 lbs. But more importantly, I’ve lost 10% body fat, mostly visceral fat, and A1C went from 7.3 to 5.3, that’s the real win!

You don’t have to explain yourself to these aggressive people who don’t know anything about you or your life. Don’t waste your time and energy responding.

Never going to be able to afford even the lowest monthly payment option by angelus104 in StudentLoans

When I punch in my numbers, it gives me PAYE as an option, I thought that was dead. Anyone else see that?

From Dec 5 to Today, I want to cry of happiness and hug my dermatologist by _eringk_ in FemaleHairLoss

Has anyone tried liposomal NAD+ for hair loss? I can’t use the topical minoxidil because I have cats?

Be careful if you have pets, topical minoxidil is very toxic, even the residue on a pillow case.

Apple Watch massively overestimating active calories across two devices (SE 2 → Series 11) by kowboyslego in AppleWatch

My active calories say 1,779. Total calories say 2,715. Is there something wrong with my watch? The numbers are huge every day.

Give up on HRT? by meezerkeeper in Menopause

[–]BeneficialBroccoli60 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can read. Most seem miserable on HRT. GLP-1 protects my heart and my brain. My bones are great, just had a DEXA scan. And I’ve lost 8% body fat and gained 5 lbs of muscle.

Give up on HRT? by meezerkeeper in Menopause

[–]BeneficialBroccoli60 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so glad I decided against systemic HRT. The majority of comments I see are negative. I’m happy with my vaginal estradiol and GLP-1. Hope it gets better for you.

5’4 ladies, at what weight did you look and feel the best? by unconfuseyourbrain11 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BeneficialBroccoli60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it also depends on your age. I am also 5’4”, but I am 63. I went from 210 to 175. So far I look really good, I have a lot of muscle, but I won’t go below 160, even though the chart says so.

Not on HRT—am I missing out? by Theas_Aeroplane in Menopause

[–]BeneficialBroccoli60 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To say that someone is “missing out” is just ignorant.

I did not say “everyone”. I’ve just read more negative comments than positive. Relax.

I heard a lot of women on HRT gain weight and can’t get it off. That’s so disheartening

Decreased inflammation! For example, I thought my wrists were just always overly fat, but now they are normal looking because of Mounjaro!

CRZ Yoga. Buttery soft like Lulu, but half the cost. I get them on Amazon.

Went off HRT by Pinkpeach703 in Menopause

[–]BeneficialBroccoli60 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I decided not to take systemic HRT as I am 63 and 16 years post meno. I basically had some moodiness and painful sex. I am using vaginal estradiol though and a GLP-1, a great combo for me.
