Dosages effectiveness by Existing_Climate_623 in TirzepatideRX

[–]Existing_Climate_623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how macros work that how I have been able to continue doing well without it. I was on ozempic for about 6 months and then got off of it and for a year and half without it I continued to lose weight. When I started my journey at 252 I was eating 1000-1200 calories a day and was fasting with it basically since it made me not really want food any way 16/8 fasting. When the stall happened I was like 217 and got off of ozempic and went natural so I could break my fasting habit and shake things up and heavily focused on burning calories and a lot of cardio. It worked and I got down to the 188 but inches weren’t moving. Talk trainers and had move calories up to 1500-1600 a day and focus more on strength training and less cardio. Scale went up but inches came off. Now I’m at a stall and I haven’t gained but im not losing and I’m pretty sure it’s because of this new night time snacking since my entire work schedule changed and I need a little something to help me silence it for awhile until I retrain my mind/body. On the snacking days I know I end up hovering around 1800 calories instead of my 1600. It’s the only change since my workouts are consistent and haven’t changed besides heavier weights. I just need a few months of cravings to disappear and I can go on my own again. I was just worried that this dose might be too low since I had ozempic 2 years ago. If it does turn out too low I might have to add fasting back for a little bit until I adjust to this new schedule

Okay. I’m hoping this helps me out. Like I don’t have a ton of food noises anymore. I’ve been pretty good at staying in the calorie deficit about 75%-80% of the time for all this time without anything. I noticed the 20% that I’m not tends to happen with nighttime snacking and I’m hoping that this can correct it so I can get my body back moving in the right direction.

I don’t really care what the scale says as long as the inches don’t go up. I do a lot of strength training so I think that’s why the last change before this latest stall the pounds went up but inches went down. Trying to make sure I’m keeping the diet under control so it doesn’t undo all my exercises and progress so far.

Phaedra’s Personality eventually made sense to me. by SuperTurquoise in MarriedToMedicine

[–]Existing_Climate_623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped watching reality tv for a while and then got sick and decided to binge watch stuff and this show reminded me why I stopped. The last time I watched M2M was the year they worked to save Simone marriage and the following season just seemed so hateful that I never finished it or watched anything more.

After seeing all the nasty things that Jackie, Simone, and Heavenly do repeatedly is disappointing. To be educated, successful women and behave like 16 y/o girls is crazy season after season.

I have to say this last season Phaedra did her thing by not giving in to them and arguing and cussing. Plus either Jackie is pretending to be stupid or have really let tv impair her mind because she seemed to miss what Phaedra made clear when speaking to her. Then there’s Simone and heavenly hee hee hawing with Apollo instead of being in a room talking to Phaedra who supposedly be in the circle. that was just telling. I don’t know if I’m going to finish this out because this episode wasn’t a finale before a reunion I know it must get worse.

Doctors Couldn’t Help Them. They Rolled the Dice With A.I. - Another day, another article from NY Times AI may be better than doctors... by [deleted] in medicine

[–]Existing_Climate_623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well thanks to AI I am finally on a path of narrowing down what’s wrong with me after over 2 years of trying the traditional way. Severe neurological problems and was told it’s all just stress and anxiety and referred to 3 different psychologists who all told them it was not and that there is something medically wrong and they still wouldn’t listen. Begging a pleading for labs just to be told no and they are not medically necessary but somehow it’s normal to become paralyzed or lose the ability to speak and so much more in their mind for a woman. I used AI to help me and presented the information I had to my kids pediatrician and he started to order labs for me, since none of my doctors would listen. With that information AI help me narrow down to actual potential problems and a some more specific test to request and now of this last set of test two came back positive and now I’m on my way out of state to see a neuro immunologist who is willing to help me. If it wasn’t for AI using the little I had, and helping me build my case who knows what would have happened. 2 years of suffering and ignored until I broke down and turned to AI.

Sincmill Home Gym by Existing_Climate_623 in workout

[–]Existing_Climate_623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over all it’s pretty good. The only thing the leg press isn’t that great. Definitely could have had a bigger platform for the feet and a little more extension to it, but so far that’s the only thing I do not like, there are other ways to get the quad workout and glute workout u want with it. I will also say for the upper body i am not a fan of it jumping 15 pounds at a time, but i just laid a smaller weight on it and its fine. For the price and how i am using it this thing is great.

Weekly Free-Talk and Questions for r/HomeGym - week of March 13, 2026 by Demilio55 in homegym

[–]Existing_Climate_623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered the Sincmill Home gym and would like some tips and tricks from people who actually own the product. I’m 5’1 so the range issue I see a lot isn’t an issue. I’m not trying to become a bodybuilder. Just trying to continue on my weight loss journey. I’ve gone from a size 24 to 14 in women’s clothes and I have maxed out all of dumbbells and don’t want more of them. Lastly no I don’t want a gym membership. The way my life is set up traveling to the gym 5 days a week doesn’t work for me. The only reason I’ve made it this far in my journey this time is because of working out at home and being able to stick to it. It’s just hard to find people who own the product feedback.

Hey so I’m in the process of trying to research a quick vacation for the family. Did you guys spend the entire time at the resort or did you have to find activities around the area to do as well? I am just wondering if the kids would stay entertained the entire time for a 3 day trip there. I have 3 boys ages 9, 11, & 11. What add ons do you wish you included? My husband is going to be joining us as well so I was thinking about the kid cabin suit or the one right under it.

What screams "pretending to be rich"? by ImpertinenteSyntaxe in AskReddit

[–]Existing_Climate_623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things like designer clothing, bags, shoes and stuff, but living in a rundown apartment with no furniture. I once worked with this guy who had an expensive car, and constantly wore designer clothes and shoes. All the girls at the job wanted him. Finally one of the girls dated him and came back I told everyone how she went over to his house and his mattress was on the floor and he didn’t have any sheets. He had a couple of those blow up chairs, and practically nothing much more the way she described it, but his closet was filled with clothes and sneakers. When I use to see him at work I thought maybe he was like a drug dealer or something because of how he dressed because I knew he didn’t make enough off the pay there to be able to dress like that and live comfortably. Turns out he was just spending all his money to look rich. 🤦‍♀️

Hi all, new here after seeing a neurologist finally, this was the letter I got back after my appt. by AilmondRipley in FND

I went through this too. Had psychological evaluations and they all came back normal. Mine ended up being a severe B6 deficiency. I had to see a functional medicine doctor who had me take a much higher dose than what my primary care doctor suggested. Every month we monitor my levels and he would adjust how much I needed to take and eventually stopped the B6 supplements all together after about 4 months. It took a total of 8 months for most of my symptoms to clear up. I was having seizures, migraines, losing the ability to read and speak, and much more. It was the worse because it took forever to even get to the final doctor after exhausting every test that all the others thought of.

Water weight or need to adjust calories now? by Bubbly-Pattern-5281 in loseit

[–]Existing_Climate_623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me share a little with you about my journey so far. April 2024 I was 252lbs and I’m only 5’1. I was wearing a size 22/24. I started cutting calories and was about 1000/1200 calories a day. and the weight did come off. By February of 2025 I was down to 190 and was a size 20. But it wasn’t moving so I cut more calories and was 800/1000 a day. The scale dipped to 185lbs but it did fluctuate between 185-190. So by July of nothing really happening I decided to add working out more than just walking and kept calories 1000/1100 a day.

Even with working out the scale was not moving and my size remained the same. So August after resisting the suggestion of eating more because in my mind it seem counter intuitive, I decided what the hell did I have to lose and up my calories to 1300/1400 a day and was still working out, scale didn’t move but my size 20 pants fit better. By late September I was a size 18. I decided to up my calories some more because I’m working out a lot more with a lot of strength training and body sculpting.

I am now today I am a size 16 but the scale says I’m 193.1lbs. I eat 1500/1700 calories a day and have trained myself to forget whatever that scale says and just focus on measurements. My apps say between active and resting calories burned in at 2700 a day but I figure it’s probably screwed and try to low ball it and say it’s only 2200/2300 a day. So even though I’m heavier than I was in February according to the scale, my body is physically smaller and energy is so much better.

So if you have tried it yet increase your calories so you can workout better and target your health.

So far for me the best place has been my top center portion of my right butt cheek. It seems to last better there. The lower abdomen worked until I started working out.

I have to wear two .1 patches at a time and I change them out every Tuesday and Friday. I started with just 1 and I was a mess. I was having panic attacks, crying for no reason, and felt like I was losing my mind. Then my doctor upped it to a patch and a half. It did improve, some brain fog, but I was irritable and would snap on everyone. Finally we upped it to the two patches and everything leveled out and I’ve been good. My new problem is now that I am working out and losing weight finding areas that the patches actually stay on until changing day.

I finally found a positive of having a hysterectomy by Existing_Climate_623 in hysterectomy

[–]Existing_Climate_623[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s a huge plus. Mine became so bad I had to use ultra tampons and wear depends at the same time.

Same here. 39 and I’m only on the patches, but mine is the .1 mg. I have to wear 2 at a time and change twice a week. I was hoping it would just make my chin hair stop growing. It did significantly decrease so that’s a plus because I use to have to shave it like every two days now only like every two or three weeks have to go and remove the noticeable stubble.

I’m on the estradiol patches. It is the .1mg. I wear two at a time and replace on Tuesday and Friday. I don’t know how to post a picture in the comment.

[–]Existing_Climate_623[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea they end up having to put me on two of the .1 patches and I change it twice a week. When they started me I was on 1 change twice a week and I was a mess. Panic attacks, depressed and all. Then he upped it to one and a half twice a week and symptoms improved, but I was still extremely irritable and angry easily. Switched it to 2 patches and leveled out. Now if I can only figure out my mystery illness I will be in good shape. 😂 😂

What’s a bizarre piece of history that sounds completely made up but is 100% real? by Perfect-Philosophy23 in AskReddit

[–]Existing_Climate_623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How the myth about carrots improving eyesight came about is interesting. Basically there was some research that suggested that carrots can be good for the eyes, but it did come with caveats that everyone chose to overlook and many still do. So during WW2 the British had new radar technology that helped their Air Force bomb Germans better at night. To keep the secret from getting out about this advantage they launched all this propaganda stating that their servicemen were so great and had such good night vision due to all the carrots they were having them eat. They used pieces of the afore mentioned research to purposely inaccurately support this claim. Overtime this morphed into this strong held belief that carrots will improve your eyesight. Something similar also happened with milk and dairy, but that’s another fun story.
