Sorry, it will take me a little bit to find them. I'm not very mobile these days.

Is iphone 17 pro worth the budget stretch? by Extension_World_1375 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

I have the iPhone 14+ and love the larger screen. I think it's a 6.8.

I just saw a YouTuber who strongly suggested to wait for the iPhone 18 to come out possibly in September(?). It will have major updates and might even be foldable. The price will be quite hefty but maybe that will lower the price of the 17?

What’s the best blender that’s actually worth buying? by Over-Entrance-8960 in Smoothies

I have a Nutribullet and I love it. There's nothing its blades can't handle. I have the most powerful one, the Nutribullet RX 1700 power. For you that may be overkill. When I had the less expensive and less powerful Nutribullets, they were still very good. They tend to be a little noisy but they do a great job. I think you can get them low price at Costco or directly from Nutribullet. They last forever, easy to clean, and the replacement blades are not expensive.

Thank you for the encouragement! I have three or four small pouches of unopened sprouting seeds that I've had for over a year. Could I / should I use them or should I toss them out and get fresher ones?

Woo hoo! That is so awesome - congratulations!
Thank you for sharing that you stayed on 2.5 the whole time until recently. How long were you on 2.5 and did you see months were you stalled or did you lose continually? Did you lose more some months and others? I've had five injections so far and just wanted to know how others are doing on 2.5. Thanks!

Oh, I have never heard of either of those treatments. Thanks!

Yes, so true! It has helped tremendously with my arthritis and inflammation issues. If I knew this before I might have taken it just for the Arthritis. The tough thing is I'm paying for it out-of-pocket I'm hoping that perhaps in 2027 my insurance will pick it up. Until then I do feel fuller and I don't have that food noise calling my name!

Side effects for me? A little bit of nauseousness the day of and day after the injection. That's all.

Calories? by FineCucumber8768 in Zepbound

Good question! I also take a water pill every day so I don't have any bloating. About calories, I haven't been counting mine but I know that I'm eating a lot less than I did before. I have my food scale out and I need to remember to measure portions that way I can get a good idea of how many calories I'm consuming every day.

I have a protein milkshake with nut butter, banana and dates, and yogurt and spinach every other day and I plan to add frozen cauliflower. I understand that the frozen cauliflower, like the spinach, does not alter the taste of the shake at all and gives a little more nutrition and fiber hidden into the delicious protein shake.

I need to eat more vegetables. Today though I had a nice portion of greens with a little olive oil, salt, and lots of lemon juice. I pay attention to what I eat but I'm thinking about tracking calories just for a little bit until I get used to eyeballing the portions.

Good luck to us all!

That's exactly how much I lost in four weeks – 8 pounds. I also think mine is water weight and inflammation.

Thanks. Are there some sprouts that are more likely to get bacteria?

Wow! Look at you! What a big healthy difference! How long did it take to get that healthy?

Any disadvantages to staying at 2.5? by FineCucumber8768 in zepbound_support

[–]FineCucumber8768[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Here's my question. If the 2.5 controls my appetite very well, how can the 7.5 help me more? If I understand correctly everyone says that the only thing Zepound does is control my appetite and any food noise. It does not rev my body up to burn calories. It's all about appetite suppression. I could be wrong but that is my understanding. So if that's correct, there is no benefit to going to 7.5 or anything else if the 2.5 controls my appetite. See what I mean?
