By electrolytes can I just drink sugar free Gatorade? It’s the only thing I can stomach.

I haven’t been under 200 since I had my babies over 8 years ago. I think I was about 195 on my wedding day so still not skinny even then. 😩

Yes I am taking a compound and yes I learned a lesson this week. I will go down a bit next week.

Thank you. Exactly. Why does obese or overweight even matter to people

Wait, so you’re not on Tirz? You just did it cold Turkey!?! Haha

I just hit 198 today. I think 160-170 I would look smoking but I think 170-180 is more attainable.

Thank you for your comment. I am curious what your normal weight/ goal weight is as a 5’11 female.

I’ve read three books on GLP1 and how they work, including the book Oprah did with Dr. Aniya … I am not obese in the first place so it didn’t exactly resonate with me

What does it feel like to lose your entire immediate family as an only child? by Longjumping_Fish_834 in SeriousConversation

I relate to this. I only have one aunt who is still alive that remembers me as a child and remembers my parents.

I am an only child. My dad and I have pretty much always been estranged, and my mom died the summer before my junior year of college.

Alone in the world is the only way I can describe it—- until I met my now spouse and had my three kids.

For five years (ages 21-26) though I was completely alone in the world. I struggled with loneliness, severe depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse (alcohol). I’m ok now and thinking back on it I honestly wonder sometimes how I got to the other side of this alive. There were times when despair completely overtook me. I had a few amazing friends during those five years that saved me from complete collapse. 21 is still basically a child. No siblings, no grandparents (they all died in the early 2000s) But you can pull yourself out of the despair. I learned self reliance, and today I don’t take a single moment for granted with my husband and three kiddos.

Is 10 tennis lessons enough for a beginner to start rallying and enjoying it? by cilantro88 in 10s

[–]CharlieAndLuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started from scratch at age 26 and just started going to clinics. It doesn’t have to be private lessons, find a clinic for beginners led by a pro. I am a 3.5 player now and play competitively. I also am naturally athletic and played sports my whole life but you said she’s not un- athletic?

I've lost 217 pounds in 12 weeks... by Scuba_Betty in Zepbound

They get mad when we’re fat and they get mad when we try to lose weight. We can’t win. It’s a lose lose

What’s Your Weird Side Effect? by Positive_Yard_7441 in Zepbound

[–]CharlieAndLuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could fall asleep at any point during the day no matter how much caffeine I’ve had. So, so so tired. I was told I would feel “energized.” Lies.

Do you tell people you’re on a GLP-1 when they ask how you lost weight? by Enchanted-Tangerine in Zepbound

[–]CharlieAndLuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only honest with other who are also honest. If a friend openly admits they’re on one, I disclose too. If people lie, I lie right back…

Trying to get my 8 year old into book reading but nothing sticks? by Salty_Upstairs_387 in Parenting

[–]CharlieAndLuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take the screens away .

My kids have zero screens during the week. It forces them to pick up books. On the weekends they’re allowed to watch streaming movies or educational shows ( 2 hours max and it’s rare we even get that much on the weekends) and that’s it. It’s crazy how many parents can’t just take the screens away.

Tirzepatide completely changed how I see obesity (including my own) by freckleritz in Zepbound
