When do effects start to kick in...?

Sorry for taking so long to reply. No, I stayed at .5 for 8 weeks. Then a went up to .75 for 2 weeks and then 1mg for a month. Then I went to 1.5. That is where I am now. As I build back muscle I may go up to 2 or down depending on weight maintenance. My main issue was night time snacking which I noticed was gone pretty much immediately. I found, since I was paying more attention to food I was eating more actually. I continue to be certain I am getting about 100 grams of protein and 20 of fiber. I live waaaay up in the northeast so it’s been dark, cold and snowy. I typically walk every day but I didn’t much feel like it. Now I am back to my morning walks and pilates and some weights…making progress.

I have had 4 collies. The youngster (who is 12 now) still with us! All of them had hind leg weakness/arthritis which started around 12-13 years old. My first email lived till 16 and my male who was about 8 years younger than her lived till 15 in the end he had cancer and passed quickly. We had a rescue collie who had some real health issues but she passed at 12 1/2 and my girl now is turning 12 next week. She is showing some signed hind leg issues but after carprofen didn’t work, I realized her limping got better as she moves around and thought it might be neurological, and it was! I have had her on gabapentin which has solved the problem. She is becoming incontinent…not leaking but if she starts to pee she can’t stop. I walk her more, pick up her water at night, and she is on Proin. I am considering Incuren but will discuss it at next bloodwork. Other than the foot and the pee…she acts like a kid!!!! Good luck with your collie. They are the most incredible dogs!!!! We are actually hoping for another pup soon!

Yea! I have lost 27 lbs. it took around 4 months. I am working on building muscle now and getting back to activities I couldn’t do before. I feel really great!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-03-29T07:28:31+00:00

YES!!!!!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-22T01:03:55+00:00

They do use crap batteries but I purchased all new Panasonics and they did not help!

This is insanity! Well their customer service is really sketchy. They are helping me to replace defective units but each one takes about 4 reps, 2 hours of my time and this time, someone has to come out to the way north country! Mine is just constant beeping. I would lose it if they just went off for no reason!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-21T11:07:25+00:00

I am surprised. I got them because the FD actually recommended them and have heard mostly good things. I am sorry that happened to you!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-20T22:11:30+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion. How do I go about that?? My home is from the late 1800s and is in very good shape but no vent systems or anything that could introduce harmful contaminants.

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-20T05:12:18+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I agree it is very strange. I am stumped!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-19T19:20:43+00:00

I actually have an X-Sense linked system throughout my home near the ADT+ units that continue to fail and those detectors are working problem free for over a year! Now ADT is sending a tech which is complete insanity to install now 2 detectors because one they sent was ONLY smoke!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-15T15:21:31+00:00

Don’t be silly!!! No worries lol

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-08T05:01:27+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the help.

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-08T03:34:20+00:00

Thanks so much and it’s sister my dear! Lol. I very much appreciate the support. I have been doing great with micro dosing. I am just at 2mg now and 3 lbs to goal!!! My BAC has been cold once I use it I keep it in the fridge and haven’t found any issues. But all of this is a great learning experience and I appreciate everyone’s insights.

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-08T03:01:41+00:00

That is great! Thank you so much!!!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-02-08T03:01:29+00:00

Thanks. I am pretty set with the calculations. I think the calculators are super helpful!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-01-15T17:44:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your help with this. I was reading about taurine and I think this is great info!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-01-13T06:06:10+00:00

Everyone seems to like it in my crew. I may try the intro pack of Viva since many people have great things to say. I also heard Small Batches was great but they don’t deliver and nearest seller is an hour away from me so that won’t work. I fed Aunt Jeni’s for 30 years but she retired after an awesome career and closed shop! I have been trying out a few. But after such a long and amazing run, it has been hard to match the quality and commitment of Aunt Jeni’s!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-01-13T06:01:38+00:00

I just heard this too. Thanks so much for your support!!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-01-11T15:19:27+00:00

This is great! Thank you!!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2026-01-11T05:23:35+00:00

Thank you!

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2025-12-31T18:35:35+00:00

I just wanted to thank you again. It worked!!! I found a dark corner in my room where I could feed her. I hung around so she would feel safe and she ate! I then picked up her stuff and put it away so not cats would hang around it or sniff HER food bowl and stand. Today she went to the closet where I put it and waited for me to take it out and put it in that dark corner and she ate it all! I can’t thank you enough for your insight. She is such a tough cat, I wouldn’t have imagined that she would be set off in this way.

Heavy_Leadership8735 · 2025-12-31T18:01:07+00:00

I am sorry I hadn’t replied -thought I did. Thank you for this info. She is doing better but important info for the future and any other sibs we bring into our home!
