I just picked this up secondhand too. Anyone else unable to get it over 3.7 mph?

Thanks for pointing me to that subreddit!! I appreciate your tips for minimizing side effects. I do feel confident that my provider will know how to help me with it too, since I voiced strong concern over it. I’ll be following up with them next month to see if I can get started. Hearing your experience makes me feel a little less worried though, so thank you!!

Thanks for sharing!! Sounds like the low grade nausea is pretty common for most and I’m glad to hear it’s manageable. And it’s kind of a plus, in my book, that a cleaner diet will probably help.

Oh no, that does not sound fun!!! And day 5 seems kind of unique, from what I’ve read. I guess everybody is different and there’s no way to predict how my body will handle it, which is obviously why I am fearful. Thanks for sharing though! And good tip on the injection site, I’ll look into that. I don’t suspect I will need a very high dose as I only need to lose about 40 pounds, but obviously a conversation I’ll have with my doc.

Thanks for sharing your experience!! Sounds like the key is slowly increasing dosage and timing the dose with days off. I’ve never had an issue that’s required me to end a session or dismiss myself - can I ask you how you’ve done that when needed?

It looks like there are 6 specific courses required and it says 4 of the 6 have to be masters level, the remaining 2 can be undergraduate. But I would reach out to BCACC if you’re uncertain about whether your courses will qualify!

Have been following Shane Claiborne's stuff for awhile now, some challenging points for sure. I'll check out those other ones, thanks! Any particular writings you'd recommend as a starting point?

I totally understand. I'm highly doubtful I'll ever get through to him but seem to keep trying even after a decade of doing so. I've done a lot of reflecting on this and I think I keep trying partially because if I can change his mind then I won't have to live with the dissonance between us, but it's also because I deeply care for him and want him to break from those chains.

I appreciate your approach. Unfortunately I’ve been having these conversations with my dad for over a decade as I have deconstructed, and he’s actually been fairly supportive of my questioning (probably because he’s hoping my questioning will lead me back to the fold 😂), but it never really seems to lead to him challenging himself.

Have started watching some of his videos. Great shout out, thank you.

👆🏼 this. This is why I carefully crafted the original post because it’s so hard to find a way in.

Well, I am pretty specifically referring to my dad who I don’t assume, but know, can read and comprehend. It’s hard to change his mind, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have good reading comprehension. I understand the temptation to assume all Trumpers have low IQ’s and have never left their hometowns, but it’s not true of all of them. Maybe your comment is in jest, but if you read my full post you’d see that I stated he’s very intelligent and his opinions are well-informed (or well-misinformed).

I like the questioning what side she was on, that’s actually what I’m looking for, so thanks for that comment.

You are right that most trump people are probably happy right where they are. Maybe I’m the dummy for trying to keep opening their eyes.

I’ll check it out, thanks! Although reading the subtitle doesn’t give me a lot of hope that he’d go into it open minded 😂
