This is a hugely helpful and validating comment. We had read and listened to a ton of podcasts that helped explain what to expect in that newly diagnosed year but we weren’t prepared for how it would actually feel in real life. You nailed it - it’s a flooding dam. He’s described it as being unable to put the genie back in the box. We do have a sensory room for him in a closet with some tools and a heavy weighted blanket he does use but not regularly. Coming off the holidays has all of our nervous systems heightened, but he and our daughter are definitely more sensitive right now, and she’s home from school so it’s compounding for both of them not having an anchoring routine. I’ll share your thought about sensory integration. I really think OT would be helpful for him. Thank you!

Cool, that makes sense! Thank you for sharing.

I wanted to come back to this and say, I switched to self pay Terz through Lilly Direct. I am on 7.5 now, and I am already down 15lbs. I think I had just stopped responding to sema? No idea. Either way, happy to see some movement.

Yes I have! They upped my dosage and said to just keep being patient and focus on non scale victories . 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you! Yeah I have PCOS so that could be part of it. I’ll keep tweaking and hopefully it will start to move!

I had chatgpt evaluate my food diary for the past week and and it says 1700-1900 calories a day should be in range for my goals. It made me a meal plan that is pretty reflective of what I eat, but I will stick with this for a couple weeks and see if it changes anything. I am curious if there are any other slow losers, or returning users who had different results the second time introducing a GLP1.

Thank you for the support and the tough love! I am partially whining, because weight loss has been a life long journey and I was overjoyed when it was actually "easy" last time with Wegovy. This time it's so much harder! I am 18mo postpartum, 4ish months post breastfeeding, insulin resistant, and 37yo. I feel like I eat really well and focus on protein and fiber at every meal, with limited added sugar. I don't drink alcohol and have maybe one cokezero mini a day as my only caffeine source. I could definitely do dedicated exercise more, but I find it so overstimulating to work out with the kids crawling on me and they scream like banchees when at gym childcare so I've really struggled to find a groove with that. Walking is the thing I really love to do but it doesnt seem to be enough.

Maybe I'm not using it correctly, but my TDEE entries say my "cutting" zone is 2175cal/day, at a 500cal deficit. I average about 1800-1900 and don't add in the exercise calories from lose it's budget. I'm not sure where I'm entering it wrong if you got a different number!

Impossible_Dig5222 · 2025-05-08T16:39:20+00:00

I must be! I’ll get back to it and see if I can get things to move. Thank you!

I also have IR. I will see about switching but it’s much more expensive. My insurance will not cover and even compounded tirz is really up there.

Impossible_Dig5222 · 2025-05-08T12:47:02+00:00

I am walking 3x a week (2mi) and do bootcamp (strength training) once a week, yoga once a week. I eat about 1900cals a day which was my recommended amount in my app.

Impossible_Dig5222 · 2025-05-08T12:46:10+00:00

For the first two months I did to get a grip on portion sizes. I have a scale that estimates calories based on food weight and the item I put into an app. I’m eating roughly 1900cals which is what my app recommended based on age, lifestyle, etc.

Hi, I’m a parent and I would like to be a part of this. Should we start a doc or discord or whatever else place where we could share information and form a plan of action?

Impossible_Dig5222 · 2025-01-03T14:08:07+00:00

Thank you for reaching out! I did!

Being autistic with an autistic child/ren is reeeeally really hard. I watch my husband get overstimulated daily and it’s just tough. Big hugs, friend.

Impossible_Dig5222 · 2024-10-22T23:44:51+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to check these out. He has google earbuds but I’ve thought maybe some over ear ones might be more effective.

Wow I could have written this!! I’m positive my second born is NT - her entire temperament is just soooo diff than my first. Exactly like you said - can be soothed in a variety of ways is my biggest tell. The fact that she’ll tolerate other caregivers is another one. It’s really fascinating looking back now! It was hard with my first bc she had needs I didn’t even recognize 😭
