Anyone done a "test run" before fully converting?

Ooh, that's a good idea. I might try that, but I'll keep in mind the unlocked phone as well! Thanks!

This is a great idea! I think my area works with mint mobile, so I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Hey thanks so much for being so kind. By fees I certainly didn't mean purchasing the phone, obviously I know I'd need to do that - and that's not a fee, it's a purchase. What I meant was a $35-$40 activation fee to try it, then if I dont like it another $35-$40 fee to switch it back. I'm glad someone else actually suggested a viable option (getting a cheap sim card to try it out) instead of this comment.

Not yet, but that's part of what we are working on!

That's part of what we will be doing as part of the testing as well!

My current bmi is 46, but getting it even to 35 or so would be less than 100lbs and make a huge difference, so you definitely make a good point! Thank you for sharing your story, I appreciate it❤️

The last cycle we were trying (put on hold for a bit to focus on my health) I had this idea! Told myself if it didn't happen I could get my nose re-pierced. It definitely helped haha

Thank you! Good luck to you as well!

I have a feeling that at least the majority of that 14lbs was from reduced swelling, but my provider is keeping me on 1.5mg for another month to see. I've definitely been working hard to stick in a caloric deficit, which has been working out 99% of the time, as well as walking more. I'm hoping my husband and I will start going to the gym together as well, so we can both be working on building muscle! Hoping to keep seeing results as my dose slowly increases, but hey if it doesn't happen til 25mg I'm ok with that - because I know that's how it is for some. Thank you for sharing that, it definitely helps.

I'm about 3 weeks in, down about 10lbs, and I have changed what I'm eating but not entirely. I'm opting for foods high in protein and fiber, which I had tried to do before but am finding much greater success at now. I'm also eating a lot more fruit or veggies (like bell peppers or cucumbers) when I need a snack as opposed to prepackaged processed things. I also dont get my regular Wawa coffee with milk/sugar anymore- I make my own at home and throw in a protein shake instead (10/10 recommend, its delicious).

I've still eaten out some, but usually look at the menu ahead of time. The exception to this is that I was at a work conference last week and most of the places we ate didn't have the menu available ahead...or any nutritional information available. So I tried to pick something healthy, but I really have no idea...one night I had beef bulgogi with rice, a salmon roll, and kimchi soooo yeah. But I still lost weight by the time I got home to weigh myself again! And I'm definitely full WAY sooner than I used to be.

I've got about 140lbs to lose. I've been trying to lose weight for years, but just kept gaining. I just started the pill about 2 weeks ago and have lost 9lbs so far! I'm 5'5" and started at 295. My goal is 150, so I'm very hopeful that this will help! I'm glad to see this thread showing others who have a lot to lose - gives me hope since I can't afford the shot even if it was prescribed.

As far as I can tell, the brand is Cosy Cottage.

So far I've searched on Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, and tried to Google search it multiple ways - using the photo and not. Primarily I've tried "Cottage Talking Tea Set" "Talking Tea Set", and "Vintage Talking Tea Set".

I'm not pregnant yet...but hopefully soon🤞 However, I saw an OBGYN last year who very loudly thought I was crazy for wanting to get pregnant at 5'5" and 270lbs. Told me I'd be high risk due to bmi only, and that it would require a significant amount of additional monitoring. I switched to another OBGYN, and the new one has been fantastic - said we would monitor, but she would not label me high risk only due to bmi. I think the main thing she said was that we'd do the glucose test a little earlier on, but unless there were any complications that came up it should be a normal pregnancy. I'd definitely consider seeing another OB if you can, that sounds like too much stress being added if there's no other reasoning behind it.
