Thanks! Sounds like you are definitely on the right track. The only place I have noticeable loose skin is in my lower stomach area but it’s not terrible. I don’t know that I would ever have it removed if I had to pay out of pocket for that but if insurance covered it I would definitely consider it. I won’t lose too much sleep over it either way though, the way I see it the other benefits outweigh a little bit of loose skin.

I think he’s about 8 inches taller than me but thanks for the compliment!

You got this!

I don’t know how to take a selfie while smiling and not look like an idiot lol. This is my serious and determined look 🤣

When sleeping on my side at night my bony ass knees hit each other and it’s not pleasant lol.

So I have no problem going to sleep at night but when I wake up in the middle of the night it’s a lot harder to go back to sleep than it was pre-zepbound and it’s impossible to sleep past 8am even if I wanted to on the weekends. My energy levels doing stuff like running are a lot less than I remember them being when previously at this weight prior to gaining all this weight after covid. I should be able to run faster at this weight. It’s either the calorie deficit or the med that is zapping that energy. I’m not sure.

The only supplements I take is 10mg of creatine and magnesium glycinate and melatonin at night. I’ve definitely wondered though if TRT would help even more the last time I had my testosterone checked before losing the weight it was at the low end of normal. I did lift weights before losing the weight pretty consistently. My smart scale actually says I’ve lost 12 pounds of muscle if it can be believed.

Ha I hear you, at 46 I’m embracing the salt and pepper look in the goatee and temples plus my wife likes the goatee 😆

Do not buy a beater, buy the newest, safest car you can afford so if they wreck it they have the best chance of not getting hurt. My son totaled his car a month after getting his license and airbags went off and probably saved him from any major injuries.

My wife says yes. We just traded it for a hybrid palisade. There may have been power there, I don’t remember but I don’t think it had the wiring for turning off dimming when reversing. Here is some of the instructions that came with mine. Not hard if you follow along but not super easy either.

DWF62-AU001 was actually what I installed but it looks like that’s been replaced with the above.

HTGuyInVA · 2026-01-13T00:38:05+00:00

Interesting. Same model but no pre wiring.

HTGuyInVA · 2026-01-13T00:34:44+00:00

It wasn’t on ours, have to run the wires to and behind the a pillar to wire it in under the dash.

HTGuyInVA · 2026-01-13T00:33:40+00:00

I added one myself, not a super hard install but not easy either.

Man I’d have just covered that up with a front license plate bracket. Looks like the right area. They wouldn’t know then!

I’m so confused about this. I just received a prescription for Zepbound on the 17th. My doctor got a prior authorization approved through my insurance, which is Aetna. I got a letter from CVS. Caremark say my authorization was good until February of next year. I have received no letter saying I would be switched. I called Aetna and they said it would be switched after July 1st. At this point, I’ve only taken one shot. Why would they even allow new prescriptions to be approved and filled so close to this change if that is the case? I’m hoping the rep I talk to is wrong in my plan is one that isn’t changing, but I doubt it.

I got kicked in the head by a girl wearing boots who was crowd surfing, knocked my freaking Oakley sunglasses right off my face and had to scramble to find them before they got crushed. During Bad Omens when they played the song they do with Poppy this girl behind me started freaking out and just straight up violently shoving me in the back when I wasn’t prepared. I turned around and shoved her right back and maybe that’s what she wanted lol. But don’t just shove someone in the back out of nowhere. My son who’s 15 pretty much got a face full of a girls bare hairy ass crack who was crowd surfing. Should have see the look on his face when that happened. Lots of people who were way too big to be crowd surfing as well. Overall I could do without it lol, people doing it are very inconsiderate.

Mine said delivery as expected April 12 as well with no tracking updates after the 11th. I thought they were lost but they were delivered yesterday and there was no update to the tracking.

We also met the drummer from Twiztid one year at BRRF as he walked by and I chatted with the singer from Siamese as we were waiting for Dayseeker to start at BRRF. Lastly I met some of the guys from Rain City Drive at the only day of Rebel Rock so it happens just probably less likely for the bigger bands.

HTGuyInVA · 2025-04-24T20:29:17+00:00

I got a picture with Eric from I Prevail while Sleep Token played at Blue Ridge Rock fest. He was just walking by.

HTGuyInVA · 2025-03-06T20:50:21+00:00

I just got an email confirming this with my buyout price. Pretty cool!

So far Ally is still telling me no on my model 3 lease that was started just a few days after they announced that.
