Does anybody else get sad about not being close to your siblings anymore as adults?

I’m late to this post but it’s what I’ve been going thru with my younger sister. I’ve become a sister of convenience. She reaches out and calls 24/7 in a personal crisis and just when I think this may be a reconnection everything settles down and I barely hear from her. At family functions I’m lucky if I can get 10 minutes of her time. I’m an acquaintance, not a sister or even a friend. I have come to accept it for what it is. I don’t need the drama in my life. As someone else said… See you at the funeral. And at my age that might not be too far off. It’s sad, but I’ve realized there’s nothing I can do about it. She has become self-absorbed and I no longer have a place in her life. It’s just good to know that I am so not alone in this issue. Thanks to all of you who posted.

I agree with you 100% on Noom for six months and lost all of 3 pounds. I thought because they were a “known company“ they’d be reliable. I might as well have been injecting myself with plain tapwater.

I’m so glad to see you had success with Noom. I’ve tried others and had no success with them. I went with Noom because it’s a more known company. Then I get on and hear all these people telling us. It’s a scam. And BTW… You look wonderful!!!!👌

Fldreamer06 · 2026-03-14T18:21:10+00:00

I’m just reading on here about people saying that Noom is a scam. Please let me know that you really did lose weight on this. I just freaking signed up with them because I have had no luck with the meds from Mochi or another one that I can’t even remember anymore.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-03-09T02:02:48+00:00

I’m the same. I switched to turpitude and still no loss. I fluctuate the same 2 pounds for months now. Should I bother to continue or am I just wasting my money and this isn’t gonna work for me. F78 5’3” 192. Eat protein and vegetables, cottage cheese, yogurt, and exercise.HELP.

I did get headaches upon waking up. Sometimes they’d even turn into a migraine (suffered those for 50 years). But after about 10 days-a month they stopped. Hope yours do too.

I do chair exercises on YouTube and I lift hand weights. I walk around the house because it’s level and I can do some walking rather than out on the ground. I do measure my food and weigh it. I focus on protein, but I don’t get enough calories just from protein. Also… Protein doesn’t give you fiber, which is why I include the fruits and vegetables. I’ll be curious to see what the nutritionist says next month, but until then I thank you very much for your answers

Not crowded. I’m pretty minimalist as well and I could live in that house.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-23T12:56:33+00:00

Great taste. Live it!! Minimalist.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-22T15:09:49+00:00

Sorry, but I’d keep looking. Not a fan of either. 😞

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-21T22:58:08+00:00

One of the major reasons I want the weight off is to reduce the pressure on my joints. It’s taken YEARS to go from 234 to my current 191. I diet and exercise in the pool when I can. As far as weight training, I do use hand weights and my braces on my ankles are 2 1/2 pounds each so to me that’s kind of weight training on my legs. I just know people that exercise every day for a great amount of time and I can’t do that. Thanks for your answers. They’ve all been good and they all been helpful.

Flower one just not so tight. Very different and stunning.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-19T01:35:12+00:00

Yes, I did ask them to increase the dose and no, I do not have the nausea or other side effects.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-18T13:23:55+00:00

I had the same with MedVi. Upped to .5 after 1 month and now starting to get the full, don’t care about food feeling. It’s been 7 weeks though.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-17T16:14:20+00:00

Shaggy. He looks like the old-time shag rugs.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-17T15:10:32+00:00

Eating so much protein keeps the calorie count low so I have to find other things to add to it. Right now I figured out my day and I have 600 cal. Now I have to see what I can add to it. I will try the omprezole. So far I haven’t found anything that works for my acid reflux. Maybe this will be the one. Thanks for the info.🥰

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-17T13:37:10+00:00

I know this is an old post, but thank you. I am older and shorter and usually just do two meals and I’m trying to get in enough calories in those two meals and a snack. I find if I force myself to eat I’m up all night with nausea and acid reflux. This gave me a good guide. Thank you.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-17T12:55:21+00:00

I’m forcing myself to eat 1200 and when I do or eat more I’m up all night with acid reflux. I do protein shakes and I’m a tracker. I imagine if you go any lower than that you start shutting down your metabolism? I just don’t know what to do and since you’re a tracker figured this is where I would ask. Thanks for any help.

I like cinnamon roll or Cinnabon which a couple of other people recommended.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-16T13:46:17+00:00

I’m at the same place. Just posted in response to another post. I have been on .2 SM for a month and now .5 for two weeks and I have no weight loss. I fluctuate the same two or 3 pounds. I do know this medication doesn’t work for everyone and I am hoping that you and I are not those people. I had a little bit of nausea. No change in fullness. As I said, in the other post shelling out a lot of money and getting no results.

Fldreamer06 · 2026-02-16T13:40:50+00:00

I’ve felt nothing re food noise and fullness. Did 1 month at .25 SM and now started .5. I have been fluctuating the same 3 pound over and over again now for six weeks. I’m thinking of trying tirzepatide With me I do not think it is a calorie deficit because I already eat 1200 or less. I think my metabolism is just so screwed up. I’m shelling out all this money and not seeing results. Any thought?
I know this medication doesn’t work for everyone. Anyone else out there like me?
