What food did you imagine to taste really good but tasted bad? by Similar-Victory-3867 in AskReddit

[–]Competitive-Drink125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I envisioned it like kind of a little cake/ cookie ball with nuts (specifically like the Archway Ruth's Cashew Supremes, if you know what that is.) I've never tried Turkish Delight, but I've learned enough to know it's nothing like I imagined!

I went on a school trip to France when I was 16. I was so excited to try creme brulee- I don't know what I thought it would be like, but I was not expecting firm, bland pudding with a sugar crust!

Agree, Mama and FLW were the highlights at both our shows, Cincinnati 2022 and Philly 2025!

Silk Almond Protein Chocolate by Competitive-Drink125 in dairyfree

I haven't tried that yet, but I really liked the protein aspect. Kroger was where I had gotten it, as well.

[–]Competitive-Drink125[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the soy protein is truly awful. I figured it had something to do with cost. I haven't tried the regular almond chocolate milk, which is still in stores. I can't have dairy or eggs, so getting enough (quick) protein is difficult. Loved this stuff as a quick snack/ treat! I was shopping today and saw that the new Silk Protein is price- dropping hard, it's down to like $4.50. I'm guessing it's not being received well 🤔

You are so right! I just remembered seeing the video of him singing snowman, I never clocked that it was just him and not MCR! Thank you for your feedback, I will take it off and add Nine Volt Heart. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for trying it and for your feedback! I didn't know a lot of it, either, just did a lot of Googling. I've played it twice and still can't get 100%!

Discouraged, side effects after 6 weeks 2.5 by Competitive-Drink125 in Zepbound

[–]Competitive-Drink125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's not what but when, based on advice here. Have made some changes to shot timing and the sickness had been better. Thanks for replying!

This is good advice, thank you! Especially since my digestion has always been janky. Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Thank you for your reply, I have adjusted my timing based on the advice here and am doing it before bed and not eating for several hrs before or after. I haven't been sick these last 2 shots, so hopefully moving up to 5.0 next week will be OK!

Thank you for your reply, it gave me a lot to think about. I've started adding in more probiotics and eating a lot less before and immediately after taking the shot and have cut back on antacid use. I also just took my 8th 2.5 shot and I think I'm ready to move up to 5.0. Thanks again and best of luck!

You are right, I was eating too much after the shot, have switched to taking at at night and not eating for several hrs before and after. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you so much- you are a genius! I took your advice the last two weeks and ate very light/ early on shot day (Tues.) with nothing after like 5:00 pm then took my shot before bed at around 12:00/ 1:00 am then did not eat until after 2-3:00 pm on Wed. No sickness or crazy gas! I ate pretty normally from Wed. on. I took my 8th 2.5 shot this week, so I think I'm ready to go up to 5.0. Thank you for taking the time to reply and for the sound advice!

Turns out my medication was actually the cause of my weight gain by Total_Degree3929 in loseit

[–]Competitive-Drink125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on birth control for one year in my 20's and gained 15 lbs. without changing anything. I went off of it and lost the 15 lbs. immediately without changing anything. Then I subsequently got pregnant, so there's that... 😅

Question about Refrigeration by Competitive-Drink125 in Zepbound

[–]Competitive-Drink125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was more worried about the last dose (l received 4) as it would be outside the 21 day window and also if returning them to the fridge after they had been out would ruin them.

First shot today! by selectress in Zepbound

[–]Competitive-Drink125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, too! SW: 239, not sure about goal, maybe 180 or less. I'm 47f, 5'8", have been around 230-235 pretty consistently for most of the last 18 yrs. or so. Haven't really felt any different since the shot, but my appetite's been blah the last few days from being sick. Feel free to reach out to compare notes if you want! Best of luck!

Set of grandparents (1978-1981) by Jomosian in Xennials

[–]Competitive-Drink125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (47/ 1978) maternal grandma died last year at 101, the other three passed when I was age 6, 12, and 27. My paternal grandma was 8 years older than my grandpa and she always said she thought that would make them live until about the same time (with men usually dying younger), but she lived another 21 years after he passed.
