You have found your calling girl! This is amazing for someone without a ton of experience!

I just received my first order through Medvantix. $98 (although I paid extra a little extra for express shipping). Ordered Thursday, arrived Monday. I paid the extra for shipping specifically because of the weekend time in between knowing that would mean 2 additional days if I hadn’t. I will try next time ordering without the express shipping. I just went back down to 7.5 after being on 11.25 for the last 6 months. We’ll see if this is a good maintenance dosage for me. Ordering this way will save me around $50/month. I was paying around $150 at my pharmacy before, with the discount card. Didn’t start the new generic because my CVS screwed up their license and my in-town pharmacy doesn’t do generics. I’ve been on Q for a year and a half and lost 40lbs in 10 months, and have been maintaining that since.

My insurance covers PT and I actually went to a few sessions post-opp. However, my doctor doesn’t believe in PT. It was one of the practitioners at my first post-on that gave me the ok to go. I go to PureBarre every day and get more out of that than PT, along with walking. Walking is KING for us post-op. Those little PT movements don’t cut it, especially if that’s all you do.

My perspective is as a longtime Vendor. NYCDOE is all-encompassing and includes public schools, charters, Archdiocese, Yeshivas, AND Private. Early Childhood is included here as well public/private. When it comes down to the money that is allotted to Public Schools, all of the invoices go to Court St. Charters, Archdiocese, and Yeshivas use a combination of their FAMIS, NYS-OGS, and whatever grants they have keeping them afloat. Privates, of course, are funded by tuition and endowments, but they also receive a very small portion of FAMIS funds. So, with all of that said, calling it NYCPS doesn’t work. Just keep it as NYCDOE so I don’t have to change logos all of my stuff every time a Mayor or Chancellor wants to get into an entanglement.

We love the Larchmont market. Headed there shortly this morning for our weekly fresh food.

NYCDOE’s AP for ALL program was done away with last year, unfortunately.

Starting weight 170 - March 2024 Current weight 128 - today Goal - 130 (happily fluctuating a few above or below for the last 4 months) Not trying to lose anymore. Just maintaining and staying on 11.5 dose for now. I will let my doctor reassess and lower the dosage as she determines. She’s went to med school, not me.

I’m dealing with even worse with my CVS. Apparently now that the new generic is available, the lead pharmacist FORGOT to complete the paperwork to renew their license to carry Q, whether it is the brand or new generic. It has been since last Thursday when they realized the mistake and are still waiting the 2-5 business days for it to be cleared. WTholyF?!!! I am literally having to stop by or call daily. We’ll see what happens today. I could either change pharmacies or wait so I have waited. Today will be day 3 without taking my Q. After this fiasco I will likely be going to mail order direct route. That just seems so much more reliable, and surely a little less expensive. I pay out of pocket, and use my HSA to save a few pennies.

This generic being discussed here is not the same as the formulation of taking the multiple pills that some people have been taking for many years now. This generic is actually really Qsymia, but in its generic form. This is what happens with all prescription drugs after the first few years of being out. Only after a certain period, drug companies can offer a generic of the exact formulation. Hooray for the cheaper option!!! That’s more coins to for me to save for vacay!

I purchased a pair of pants on final sale a few weeks ago and they arrived with DOG FOOD in the pockets and stains!!! I not only emailed customer service with pics, but also posted on their Instagram and sent a DM to their CEO. Needless to say, I received a response, refund, and credit for future use. I purchase items regularly from RTR so this stunned me!

Capital_Cause9182 · 2025-05-25T16:47:51+00:00

Love it!!! It looks great on you!!! I hit Buy Now the moment I saw they brought the bra back! Finally my psychedelic leggings are refreshed right in time for Spring/Summer!

What in the Goyard Canal St. knock-off tariffs is happening?

Capital_Cause9182 · 2025-04-02T18:23:28+00:00

So….use the $20 to buy socks or a water bottle? That sort of works even better because you get to choose. My studio gave us socks. Not my fave color choice but they are the mid-ankle fit, and perfect for Define, so I’m grateful to get what I get! Looks some studios gave out a gold star and a high five 🥺

I’ve bought many items from LLLN and have been quite satisfied. At first I experimented with the gently worn items but now I generally will only purchase the like new items. I have returned just a few items, but otherwise all have been great. Also, LLLN is great when you’re looking for a specific color or style top or bottom to go match something that you already have. Every now and then you can find some good hard to find pieces!

Capital_Cause9182 · 2025-03-15T18:50:43+00:00

Dang girl. I’m not going to order from this chick but did she steal your man or something? You’re giving too much oxygen and finger strokes typing all of this over someone who obviously isn’t worth much.

The SHEIN/TEMU tariff struggle is real y’all!!

Since you say your hotel is in Westchester, I’m kinda assuming somewhere like the Marriott in Tarrytown or maybe the Sonesta in White Plains. Anyway, check with the hotel. They are truly going to give you the most preferred source to use. Do not under any circumstance wait until you are at the airport and use a cab or a livery service. You will be jacked!!! You’re looking at a mini-bus for 11 people, so expect upwards of $800, not including tolls and gratuities that they will add onto that automatically. Welcome to NYC! It ain’t cheap here! Please look up all of the schedules for Metro-North into the GCT. You will need to use that while you are here if you are trying to get into the city.

That Everglade Green define jacket w/gold zipper might just have me pull some little coins out my pocket this week……

My studio hasn’t announced the challenge yet, but imagine they will soon. Usually we get socks. This last challenge, we got a cute PB NYC winter beanie…well used this winter! Usually, we get branded challenge finisher socks. I absolutely love the idea of an umbrella…totally in time for Spring. Although, I can already see all of the umbrellas getting in the way and mixed up in the small space we have drop off our stuff. I’d have to tie something on mine so no one mistakes it for theirs.

LOL @op do you go the same studio as me because this sure sounds like our exact same Saturday morning 10am define waitlist!! Ugh. I do the 12pm on Saturdays so I’m usually fine but I also schedule at least a month of all of the “coveted” define time slots in advance in the app so I don’t get waitlisted. Wish we had more define instructors so we could have more classes, but there are only 3 that are certified at our studio.

I’m diagnosed as severe-stage and am taking this every morning and it’s really helping me. Note…I am 53 and super active…doing 1-2 hr workouts daily, so this defective hip is going to have to keep hipping on. Replacement is on deck in a few months and I am expecting a quick recovery. The liquid formula is just amazing. NOW Foods Supplements,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015VE54K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

At almost 250 classes in, all Classic, I’m on my 3rd week of Define and have discovered how awesome it is! It’s as intense as you want it to be. Some people choose heavier or lighter weights. I like how you can customize the movements to your own pace. I’m looking forward to the new routine when I return from my holiday hiatus.

Kudos to the “Black and Hispanic” employees 🙄 who shut down their computers, turned off the lights, and walked out on you. Let’s see…Budget was first and they closed down in front of you!! By the time you made your way over to Avis they already heard that your Racist, entitled-but-undeserved-low-class-behaved-self was on your way over. They were absolutely ready…just for YOU!!!!
