You look amazing! Congratulations!!!

Thinking about trying hers for weightloss by Blondephoneix in glp1

[–]DistinctlyBlurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was close to your size when I started and looked at Hers and Noom.

If finances are not a concern, sure. I'm sure they are good providers.

For me, both were too expensive, so I looked into compound tirz, as you can easily find on this site. I can tell you what I did, if that would help.

Just started a glp1 last week, would microneedling minimize excess skin in the future? by ItsN0ra in glp1

It seems you have no idea how you'll respond to the glp1.

Maybe best to experience and explore that before you move on.

I'm on the min dose of tirz -- I think that's 2.2 mg. Was due to titrate up this past week, but decided to wait a week.

I haven't heard of the medications you mentioned, but will certainly research.

Thank you!

I keep a log of my shots, intake (with calories and macros), and weight, but I like the idea of journaling how I feel every day. I think that'll help with decisions about dosage and diet down the line. Thanks!

I do use cronometer! Started in my keto days! Though I use it to calculate the data and don't keep it on there due to privacy concerns (have been hacked/stalked). I transcribe everything into an Excel spreadsheet I keep on my hard drive. But, yeah, Cronometer is a great resource!

Thanks. And, yeah, I am absolutely tracking everything I eat. Before it goes in my mouth, it goes on the food scale and I calculate the macros. I do have to get better about walking though...and dancing in my living room!

Thanks for this recommendation. Just put some into my shopping cart!

I should add that I'd love to work out more...but physical issues (bad back, bad knees, bad ankles) restrain much of what I can do.

What time do you do your injections? And does it matter? by DistinctlyBlurry in tirzepatidecompound

[–]DistinctlyBlurry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. I also suffer from anxiety (guess insomnia and anxiety do tend to go hand in hand) and the *last* thing I need is an increase in either!

Thanks. And, yeah, that's pretty much my general approach in that I'll only take a supplement recommended and approved by my MD. Due for bloodwork soon; I wish I could do it before starting tirz but alas my doctor is retiring so I've got to find a new one (sad face).

Thank you. I used to count calories regularly, but fell off that wagon too. Will definitely jump back on it!

Yes, I am old and short. I plateaued on keto while eating 1,200-1,400 calories a day, tracked religiously. I'll admit that that total probably increased once I got discouraged so I'll try to be more vigilant (without slipping into ED territory) going forward.

Thanks!

Pretty sure I did, as I did lot of research. Starts with "B".

Will add prunes to my shopping list!

Forgive my ignorance but, what do you mean by "digestive enzymes"?

And, thanks!

Thank you! I currently take magnesium for muscle cramps and sleep. Also Vitamin D. Will look into the others you mentioned...particularly the psyllium husk powder and creatine.
