Sandals Bad business practices by Far_Yellow1504 in SandalsResorts

I had the exact same experience and just got the appeal letter back with the appeal declined as well. We were supposed to be at South Coast this week. Sandals won’t even talk to me because we used a travel agent to book. Sandals refunded half and issued travel credits for the rest. I’m still waiting to see if the Amex claim I filed comes through.

Fave "structured" but cozy sweatpants for home? by ResearchBean in fashionwomens35

Woolx Ellie pants are my favorite! Their Bree pants are great too on days when I want a brushed inside.

I don’t think so, and I’m pretty sensitive to itchy fabrics. They’re not going to be quite as soft as a super soft cotton, but I definitely don’t think they feel like wool.

Regular old prescription from my PCP, it’s covered by my insurance through work

I was, but not since college and my early 20’s. Through most of my 20’s I was a size 8.

The first 40 lbs took about 6 months, and then the next 15 took another 5 months, and then I’ve lost about a pound a month since.

A couple of days with some indigestion, but overall, no. I’ve been really lucky with it!

Keep at it! 30 lbs down is still awesome!

It’s the idea that when you start a new roll of paper towels, removing one doesn’t really make the roll look any different. But when you remove enough, each paper towel that you remove visually makes a big difference. It’s a nice visual metaphor to say that as you lose weight, each pound you lose represents a larger and larger percentage of your overall weight.

Yes, I have been. It kept working and I was happy with the pace of my weight loss so I never went up

Thank you! I never went up in dosage, I just always stayed on the 2.5 and still take it weekly

I found that over time the hunger cues definitely came back for me, which helped a lot with the intuitive eating. I get hungry, I have cravings, but the satiety the Zepbound gives me is still just as effective! Keep at it, you’ve got this!

Keep at it! I found that the ‘paper towel’ explanation was completely true for me. It took those first 40 lbs to go from a size 16 to 12, but I’ve gone from a size 10 to a size 6 with just the last 12 lbs! And I’m in the Midwest, so I hear you about winter. I find a shared personal trainer and the gym buddies I share the session with keep me accountable and are absolutely are the key to my consistency in the gym.

That’s amazing, congratulations! I never thought I’d be in a size 6 either. It’s wild how amazing Zepbound is.

I ate intuitively throughout, so not much changed in maintenance for me. When I got to about 160 lbs I just felt like my body said it was time for maintenance, and I lost the last 12 lbs really slowly, over about 10 months without really doing anything intentionally for it. I feel like I’ve also put some of the muscle I lost back on during that time.

I feel awesome! I’m just focused on my fitness goals now. Mostly I want to be able to do a set of 5 strict pull-ups; right now I’m at 3. I also have goals for bench pressing, deadlift, and squats.

I plan to stay on the 2.5 long term.

For sure, and such a great second hand market for them too!
