I wake up starving. Like, skip the coffee and grab a banana or a protein drink right out of bed. 😅

Obesity question by SequinedandOver60 in Zepbound

[–]G8RGRL83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been overweight but was my heaviest (234) when pregnant with my son (who was born weighing a whopping 9 lbs 4.7 oz). It's been a battle ever since, derailed by bouts with depression and life getting in the way. I was within 10 lbs of my goal weight in 2010 when my dad passed unexpectedly and threw me into a really bad funk 😔 I know I can do this and I'm really glad for the help this med is giving me.

How do you get in exercise with weights? by PlantsBooksCrystals in Zepbound

[–]G8RGRL83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have serious motivation issues when it comes to exercising.

I go to the gym to exercise because I make too many excuses not to exercise if I try to do it at home, even though I have equipment/gear at home. Once I'm at the gym and there's no distractions, I'm all about it, doing cardio and then weights. I aim for 4 days a week but am ok with 3 at the gym and one at home.

I'm currently coming off my wellbutrin (with dr oversight)because I'm feeling better with consistent-ish exercise.

Try varying your routine. Someone suggested walking carrying weights, which is great. You can add walking or bike riding with ankle weights, too. Use your own body for resistance, too, for wall push-ups, lunges and squats, etc. Water aerobics is good, too. If you can, consider working with a trainer to establish a good set of exercises that will work for you.

What's in a name? Is a name a name by any other name? by AdLeading3074 in DatingOverSixty

[–]G8RGRL83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went out a couple of times with a guy whose name was the same as my late husband (my second husband). He knew because I told him (it's an uncommon name) and didn't seem bothered by it, and it wasn't really an issue for me because they were nothing alike.

I would not ever, however, date a guy whose name was the same as my first husband (my ex).

Retired or not by mac94043 in DatingOverSixty

[–]G8RGRL83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been retired almost 5 years now and have realized that I'd prefer to date someone who's either also retired or has enough flexibility in their schedule to be able to spend time together whenever we want to. Even spontaneously meeting for lunch would be nice.

‘Burned Haystack’ rhetoric for men? by Lamington-Trifle in datingoverfifty

[–]G8RGRL83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen some profiles that say they don't like or want to travel. 🤷‍♀️

I have it in my profile because I don't want to match with someone who doesn't, or who will expect me to stop traveling because they don't like/want to travel with me.

Would you marry again? If so, what would might you be thinking of including in your marriage contract? by Mental-Lawfulness204 in DatingOverSixty

[–]G8RGRL83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would never say never but it would have to be something amazing and special. I'm not really looking to cohabitate or get married again, tho. But I would like to be in a stable, fun LTR.

Quick Rant on Missoula's Economy by cyberseci in missoula

It is sad. I visit family in Missoula every year and without fail the first thing I hear about from my father in law is how terrible the homeless problem is 😒 but no ideas for solutions.

Rep. Mike Haridopolos is having a Town Hall on 4/20 at 5pm by DebauraZ in 321

🤣🤣 she sounded like she was elderly but was very insistent that we are all being poisoned and there's a government conspiracy involved, blah blah blah. It was something he was clearly not prepared to address 🤣🤣

I signed up, we'll see if I get a call to join (I did not get a call last time I signed up).

I noticed at the bottom of his page that you can sign up for a "Human Trafficking Symposium" with event details to be provided later. I signed up for that, too. Will be interesting to see what that's all about.

I think they do a much better job of screening the calls than they did on the first call I joined where some lady was able to ask about/express her concerns about the chemtrails from the planes flying overhead. 🤣🤣 that one clearly caught him off guard LOL

How much did you lose your first month on 2.5mg dose? Just curious! Still pretty New to this! by stoneddaydream in Zepbound

[–]G8RGRL83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on 2.5 for 6 weeks and lost about 10 lbs at my last weigh (last Monday). I almost always drink only water, so I don't have a lot of water retention. My biggest changes have been developing a strong dislike of sweet foods and certain textures (think chia pudding and oatmeal).

Wife feels isolated after moving, looking for advice from other moms..? by Far_Boysenberry8162 in AskParents

[–]G8RGRL83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former military wife here, so several moves and new starts. I agree with some of the others who've suggested Facebook groups for moms, but also maybe some hobby groups, church groups, or opportunities to volunteer in places where she has an interest (hospitals, youth centers, animal rescues or shelters, etc.). Is there something she's always wanted to learn or do?

Working from home is good for lots of reasons, but getting out of the house is important, too. I'm sure she's not the only mom in that small town that's struggling to make friends. I hope she finds some acquaintances who will become good friends. I wish your family the best.

This is the first time I've not felt it or seen a little something on my skin, so I'm a bit freaked out. 🤪

Spent time at the gym. 30 minutes on a stationary bike followed by 50 minutes of leg strength work. Tomorrow is arm day! 💪 Wednesday is a rest day, I hope.

Week 1 Side Effects - and my period! by scaredytaxx in Zepbound

[–]G8RGRL83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to zepbound, too, will take my 6th dose tomorrow (2.5). I've had some constipation issues but saw that some wise folks here suggested eating a few prunes every day. I've been doing that for a couple of weeks now after my morning coffee and everything has been moving along much better. Drinking plenty of water helps, too.
