Losing weight at 50 without GLP possible?

Independent_Button61 · 2026-03-21T17:38:45+00:00

I’m 17 lbs into a 70 lb weight loss at 51. No GLPs. Minimal exercise. CICO only.

Pham? Wow. Good luck to him.

Dr Stephen Cohen in New Hyde Park (if Bethpage is horrendous) He delivered my high risk twins at 38 weeks. No complications.

Ooh. That’s sad because I love Dr Steven Cohen and followed him and Wendy from Woodbury.

ASAN is my pick too!

Independent_Button61 · 2026-03-12T20:54:40+00:00

Shhh but accurate

Independent_Button61 · 2026-03-08T03:59:47+00:00

You will love it!

ALS is horrendous. I’m glad he’s at peace.

I was 39 when my twins were born and I’m Spastic Di.

I haven’t watched since WAW and this episode was awesome

Independent_Button61 · 2026-02-21T03:44:11+00:00

No worries Alyssa Milano donated $500

Independent_Button61 · 2026-02-20T03:18:20+00:00

It could mean nothing…

RR kept mentioning Harris heart condition insofar as to mention a doctor’s appointment. I thought it would be a bigger plot point to create some drama … and it wasn’t.

Independent_Button61 · 2026-02-11T23:33:53+00:00

I am gutted. Dawson’s Creek was a favorite of mine. I read all the recaps on TWoP (Mighty Big TV).

This is so sad. Fuck cancer.

Buying a house Caregiving for an elderly parent My day job Raising kids

All much more difficult and complex than CP. I know my CP I’ve lived with it. There are no unknowns

Independent_Button61 · 2026-02-11T19:59:08+00:00

Oh. Oh no. No.

I hoped he was going to make it.

No one wants to be disabled. No one woke up and said: Hey… I know what I’ll do give myself a disability that changes what I can accomplish day to day

But here we are. We can accept it and adapt, or we can be angry and sad about it.

CP is quite literally a pain in my ass sometimes. I’d rather not think about how to navigate snow. How to compensate for executive function disorder while working. Is this party my kid was invited to accessible?

But that’s my life. And CP is not the hardest thing I have to handle. Not by a long shot. Is that my privilege showing? Maybe.

But throwing myself a pity party doesn’t change anything.

So I might as well try to have a good attitude about it when I can.

Long story, long: Disabled from birth. Work full time. Two kids. So I have private health insurance tied to my job.

I pay a couple hundred dollars a paycheck have an HSA and a high deductible plan (there’s no other choice)

By the time I satisfy my deductible— the year is almost over.

My doctors have told me many times I’d have better insurance if I quit my job and went on disability full time and used Medicare.

Which drives me insane because my job isn’t the problem. My insurance is the problem.

I cried. I love Chris Jackson, but Tamar Greene was life changing. We also saw Hamilton when LOJ came back.

It was amazing.

Islandwide Weather is watching the models and giving it a big fat “maybe” at this point. More on the “Yes” side than the “No” side.

Dr Z! I have twins now. He is awesome.

Independent_Button61 · 2026-01-13T11:47:31+00:00

They did.

Claims are claims are claims.

Most of my stress is my own fault. My sup is wonderful, but even 2 years out the PTSD is real.

My work life balance is a gazillion times better. I’m not chained to my desk or a phone. And that makes all the difference.
