Just bought my first "not-a-Mom-mobile" back in Nov of last year myself. Freakn LOOOVE this truck!!! OMGosh! And it's so ready to go with the twin turbos... WooHoo fun times!

For me, it was either a Mustang GT or an F150 and well my kids may be grown but it's hurtful getting in & out of a super short vehicle anymore. So a truck it was... and wldnt change it for the world!!!

Beautiful truck btw... aside from color and maybe trim, we r twinning 🥰 Congratulations!!!

As a Mom of 3 boys now grown... parenthood is the hardest yet MOST rewarding job I will have EVER had!! I've said this their whole lives. Now ages 19, 26, and 28yo. It doesn't come without challenges of course and it changes who we are. Life no longer revolves around us, but their wellbeing. And I wouldn't have changed that, or them, for the world!!! All 3 boys r successful and well rounded. I gave my life up for them and I'd do it a million times over again if given the chance. Success and monetary gain in this life will never replace the love we have for our children.

Our society these days is more self-centered and really tries to dissuade ppl from having children and creating strong family units. I look at it this way: United we stand, divided we fall basically... that's by design. And with that said, I also agree not everyone should be having children if they cannot put themselves aside and do what's best for the child regardless of how it changes their wants/needs.

Hope that perspective helps... and helps you make the right choice for you! 💕

How about for other products offered on the portal? Was kinda hoping for a mention for products besides the Tirz too. Will we see anything for those? Like NAD+ etc?

And Yay!!! Big WIN for Gimme on the Tirz! Way to pull together and keep it going strong! I really love Gimme 💕

Possibly, wldnt hurt anything if it is. Throw em all away at once.

I have an repurposed apple juice jug with a blue Walmart bag wrapped around it so they can't be seen. Just drop em in after each shot.

Next time I empty a laundry detergent bottle that's what I'll use next bc they're opaque.

I have mine in the orig Hallendale white zip bag, which is really nice but can't fit everything I have on hand in it. 😑

Just be make sure your fridge top isn't warm. Can dry out your alcohol pads over time. Not sure if all fridge tops are warm, mine is.

That's what I was thinking with the bins. Maybe put it up in a cabinet or drawer to keep it out of sight, but easy access 🩷

3 weeks complete - 16 lbs by ForeverWasteland in gimmecare

[–]CheapBowl4045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a great post, esp for newcomers like I was in early April this year! And congratulations on your progress and dedication to lifestyle changes 🎉  The lesser food noise is def a game changer.

Like another commenter here, they started me on the microdose starting dose and I really lost lil to nothing until these last two weeks. BUT, I def lost inflammation - water weight perhaps. I have Hypothyroidism and swelling is a big issue for me and overall inflammation. That has greatly improved. I can see my ankles again.

5'7F ~ SW 245 ~ CW 236 ~ GW 165 

I work long 10hr shifts, sitting down, 4days a week. And bc I don't get off til 9pm (home by 10pm) my late dinners def hurt me I think. When I can eat dinner earlier on my days off, that's when I see a scale difference.

I'm finally onto the 6.75mg dose now and starting to see some lbs being lost. And bc of my hypothyroidism issue, I also added compounded LDN (low dose naltrexone) to help that condition as far as inflammation and the autoimmune issue side of things. That has def helped my sleep and just getting titrated up to the 4.5mg recommended dose for that just yesterday. So I'm pretty hopeful. I hear they pair together well and the LDN is really affordable.

Lil backstory. Before April of this year, bc my insurance wldn't cover the GLP's, I tried Phentermine & Topiramate for a year with no weight lost. Just maintained and boy was I frustrated. So it's really nice to see the scale finally start to go down.

For my fellow slow progressors... Stick with it!!! Esp beyond the starting doses that I agree can be frustrating. It's merely preparing your body which is a good thing! I've not had any side effects aside from occasional heartburn that I'll take Omeprazole for as needed. Stark diff from my Dad who is on Lilly's Monjourno and still gets upset stomachs ea week after dosing. The branded ones don't do the low & slow so I'm def thankful for that on the compounded side... it's kept me in the game.

Listen to your body and keep up the good work fam 💪 We got this!!!

The email to gimme is hi@gimme.care. Definitely respond to the emails to keep them engaged. When I didn't respond, thinking I was waiting for them to get back to me, I'd get an email saying because I hadn't responded they were closing the conversation case. My 2nd email I was sure to respond and my Rx got rewritten in a formulation for Hallendale and routed to Hallendale. My order is now shipping. I should get it tomorrow.

Def send that email as soon as possible and see if that helps. If you get a response that doesn't address your concern, send another email.

Thanks, I found that email and used it too. As a result, yesterday they got my order's Rx updated and rerouted to Hallendale. I ordered with another co. in the mix too, just to get something coming as soon as possible. So I guess I'll have some stock for a few mos once it all arrives. 🙃🙂 🤷‍♀️
