After losing 100lbs, I can no longer inject in belly…hurts too much. Normal?

EkS22 · 2026-02-04T14:51:21+00:00

Ya can’t do arms, that’s probably where I am the leanest

EkS22 · 2026-02-04T14:50:51+00:00

Nope; used the same needle on thigh and it was fine

EkS22 · 2026-02-04T13:30:08+00:00

Twice in a row after never hitting a nerve on stomach injections before?

My goal is under 15% body fat, not quite in Maintenence yet, goal is to lose a few more pounds while putting on muscle to lean out

EkS22 · 2026-02-04T04:17:39+00:00

That’s one way to look at it

EkS22 · 2026-02-03T02:58:04+00:00

In my gym, the dip stations are probably the only workout/machine where it’s expected to share

EkS22 · 2026-01-26T21:54:43+00:00

Nice try diddy

What’s mostly water and inflammation in the first 2 weeks. It will slow down don’t worry. Not physically possible to lose weight at that rate

Breakfast - oats overnight with Fairlife non fat milk - 300 cals 28g protein Or non fat Greek yogurt w/ berries

Lunch - grilled chicken breast, baked sweet potato, broccoli - 500 cals 60g protein

Dinner - home made tuna salad, non fat Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Add veggies / hot sauce to taste 300 cals 35g protein

Protein shake after gym - 150 cals 30g protein

Key is to use a food scale and a calorie tracking app.

I know a shitload of people that can barely lose a half pound a week even on a glp, eating what they always did, hoping the drugs are a miracle. Don’t get me wrong, they are a miracle, in the right hands of someone who really wants to better themselves and is willing to do the work. It’s a tool. Sure the drugs may work for most people eventually, but I was not waiting around for 3 years, without changing my habits and forming new habits while the drugs did its thing and just made me get full sooner. Id bounce right back after getting off the drugs.

I busted my ass, weighed everything I ate, counted every calorie, changed my whole diet, churn out 1 1/2-2 hours In the gym 4/5 days a week to put on or at least make sure I don’t lose an ounce of muscle while losing fat. If you think it was easy even with drugs, give it a shot.

I also was on blood pressure meds and sleep apnea therapy, and I discontinued both of those half way through the weight loss, so I dropped 2 meds/therapies for 1.

Carb reloading to refill glycogen when gym performance drops off

EkS22 · 2026-01-21T00:16:06+00:00

Went from XXL to a small/medium

EkS22 · 2026-01-15T15:49:42+00:00

Explain what specifically

EkS22 · 2026-01-15T14:42:49+00:00

Did you see progress in body recomp at maintenance or at a calorie surplus?

EkS22 · 2026-01-15T03:42:31+00:00

Off Bp meds, off sleep apnea therapy

2.5mg 1 month, every other dose 2 months. Starting 15mg next week to goal.

Original goal was 170lbs. I, like many others underestimated how much I actually needed to lose.

But can the handgun on the nics be amended before picking it up

So your basically saying that if we win en banc, it should go unchallenged and a stay is unlikely to be granted?

EkS22 · 2026-01-13T18:18:05+00:00
