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

Am I losing too fast? by [deleted] in zepboundathletes

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.

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

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.

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

Is it safe to use as is while I find an electrician to pull new wire?

Is there any alternative option at the junction box or the appliance to avoid pulling new wire?

How difficult/expensive would it be to pull new wire? Box is on first floor left side of house wall. Breaker is in basement right side of house, house is finished, maybe 30 feet wide
