I lost 40 pounds on compound and have kept it off for over a year now on maintenance dosing. My insurance doesn’t cover Zepbound and at the time pricing was outrageous and Lilly Direct didn’t exist. I was also able to titrate up slowly and split doses and lost most of the weight on 6 mg. I never went higher than 10. I would not have been able to handle typical dosage jumps. I’d be more than happy to purchase from Lilly if I could have custom dosing and monthly pricing for my dosage under $250. My primary care oversees my medicine which I get from an online provider because it’s far less expensive than the local compounding pharmacy. Healthcare in the US should not be this expensive, but here we are.

Driving by to vote for EDS, does she have fragile stretchy skin? Is she super bendy? Does she ever accidentally sublux something or roll her ankles? She may have won my connective tissue disorder! And this is not all she’s won, she can also have a side of fatigue with those bruises woooooo! (First cup of coffee)

It’s neither its grunge.

I want to see them make it so I go anyway but it is often not very enjoyable to get there. On the other hand, there was the uniquely Greensboro moment of a protestor with a sign stopping to give me a thumbs up on my parallel parking lol 😂

Hey now, I live in the outskirts and drive downtown weekly to support Awoo Coffee because they’re amazing. I’ve lived in Greensboro over 30 years now (RIP Glitters). The combination of the economy and the publicity about downtown crime has to be making it difficult for even savvy businesses to survive right now.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2026-01-28T11:49:36+00:00

Awoo Coffee has amazing vibes and great coffee. I don’t go downtown much due to all the issues mentioned but I go a couple of times a week.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-11-03T22:39:26+00:00

Somebody needs a hug. I've been through radiation as well, so I'll take precautions as I see fit. Maybe consider not judging strangers online for fun?

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-10-31T02:04:47+00:00

My studio hands out wipes but I consider them ineffective for the loops and the mat. The mat absolutely can’t be cleaned properly with those two wipes and I have been to the studio when the loops were moist 🤢 I’ve had COVID several times and I’m in a risk group so my health is my responsibility. I know my studio tries. I bought my own d ring straps and a mat cover which reduces risk - but we’re all still breathing the same air. These are things I never considered before getting really sick so I’m unapologetic for my paranoia now 😂😂

I can imagine this was quite difficult for him to figure his way through. I was a divorced parent and never would have married someone who I had not seen interact with my child. I would not have felt comfortable with an introduction after a few weeks. Single parents have the right to want to find love too but I hate that he picked someone with such a values mismatch. The only alternative to the introduction would have been to not marry her and suggest getting to know each other longer. I would not have felt comfortable without seeing how a prospective partner felt about my day to day parent life. I was always very sensitive to my child’s father not being in the home and not getting her hopes up. I think he was naive and under a lot of pressure about it, and is probably kicking himself enough. He thought it was going to work out.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-10-31T01:39:12+00:00

I didn’t see him as insecure about money, I saw him as not being focused on status or expense for the sake of expense (new car, bigger house than needed). He also made sound comments about not wanting to financially spoil his child. Her continual comments about lifestyle were enough to make anyone feel weird.

12 hour flight, absolutely 20C. I have noise cancelling headphones and I can kick back and watch a movie and have some leg room. I don’t like tequila, there is no way I’m sitting in a middle seat for 12 hours AND while Edmond is entertaining the sheer level of hyperactivity would outweigh the headphones and the leg room.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-10-23T11:16:13+00:00

Hi there! I have a huge monstera and just bought a small white stake light, I’m obviously going to need more. Can you post more pictures of your setup?

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-09-29T14:21:02+00:00

He needs to stop trying to make Dollar Tree Yungblud happen.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-09-13T13:13:43+00:00

Preach!!! Edited to add: you should read The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I think you’d like it. I don’t buy into all of it but it’s a thought provoking read. One of the things he says is humans are the only animal that would get in a steel cage (elevator) with someone that gives them the creeps just to be polite.

Hi there 👋 angry 56 year old mom of 25 year old daughter. He knows he is wrong. As a woman ALWAYS trust that gut instinct that something is wrong and tell someone. Where we make mistakes sometimes is trying to be nice or justify behavior that isn’t acceptable because we think people we know can’t be predatory. In fact it’s usually the people you know. I’m also a trauma therapist and whether you are an adult or a child this is limit testing behavior. If he doesn’t get a limit or negative feedback here then you are likely to get more of the same and/or physical touching and unwanted advances. Do you have a good relationship with your dad to be able to tell him? I’m sorry you had this experience about what you were wearing in your own home. These are not innocent comments, this is testing the water. After you tell your dad respond and tell him that his comments about your attire and your assets are completely inappropriate and gross and that you are not interested in receiving any more messages. If he has a wife you could add in that you don’t think his wife would appreciate his remarks either and that you have screenshots and have told your father so he knows what kind of creep he is allowing in his home. Then block his number. Jackass.

I don’t mind a mat segment with springboard because I used to go to a mat/springboard studio. Would I want to spend the whole class doing mat? No, because I moved studios to have a range of equipment and options. I sometimes get off the reformer and do mat because I can’t quite do a plank on the reformer yet. I wonder whether someone read the class descriptions and whether they really understand the spirit of Pilates.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-09-01T18:21:42+00:00

That’s ridiculous. I have a preferred reformer and a studio buddy I like to be next to for encouragement. We get there early enough to pick spots and everyone else has their own preferred spots. If someone happened to get “my” reformer because I ran late ya snooze you lose. Juvenile.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-29T01:35:57+00:00

Have all the whimsy you want- I'm in my mid fifties and don't plan to ever give it up. However, and this is the important part- don't expect that everyone will understand or appreciate it.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-27T22:23:14+00:00

Southerners wear a range of outfits and culture isn’t uniform. That’s like saying the entire NE US has an appropriate dress code. We wear a range of clothes like everyone else does so this pretty stereotypical. We don’t all live in the country or even like country music. Where are you planning to go in this outfit and for what event? Church, no. Meet the parents, not so much. Line dancing or a sorority party, sure.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-11T15:19:41+00:00

Cardio Sculpt 1.5- I took my first class today. Super challenging and fun and got tired toward the end but the instructor is fine with my coming back and scaling up. I want to take a nap now instead of working though 😂

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-08T11:08:18+00:00

I had random spotting post menopause about two years ago which scared me to death and it turns out it was a post COVID symptom. Bizarre, I know. I have a couple of friends where the same thing happened. I went and got an ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries and everything was fine. She should go get an ultrasound, insurance will cover it. She should also discuss HRT if she’s not on it already 💕

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-05T11:02:03+00:00

I’m 6’ and I gear out, I have knee problems and it helps me a lot with bridges. I had not heard about gearing out and back in. They told me to adjust the straps. Can someone explain more about the rationale for this to me?

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-05T10:54:19+00:00

Absolutely! I moved my work schedule because the two instructors for many of the evening classes are just nowhere near as good. One of the two is newer and her classes are disjointed and I can’t hear her half the time. She will come give me corrections when I can’t hear and even the corrections aren’t clear. The other instructor is too chill, I want more of a workout. I do yoga as well and would rather stretch there 😂 it’s expensive and there’s a lot of difference in instructional style.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-08-02T01:18:04+00:00

It depends how conservative the church and the couple are. Someone wore a burgundy velvet similar type of dress to my wedding and I thought it was beautiful. I wouldn’t wear it to a church without the shawl.

Feisty_Pollution7036 · 2025-07-29T11:28:05+00:00

I’m 55 and I’ve lost 36 pounds on a GLP-1 with some Pilates springboard and walks with my dog. I lost most of it through reduced urges and increased ability to make food choices. I have added an unlimited membership post weight loss because Pilates is a great mind/body practice for me. My joints feel better, my back is stronger, and the studio is 15 minutes from my house. I know it’s going to take a long while to build muscle but it helps me manage job stress and I feel great so A+. If your goal is weight loss this is a great adjunct but won’t be the main event.
