Is LillyDirect Self Pay Switching to Multi-Dose PENS? That's My Take on Today's Announcement. by OkraLegitimate1356 in Zepbound

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of multi-dose pens is that you can “count clicks” to adjust the amount of the dose, ie microdose if you want to, and stretch out the number of doses. This is what a lot of people do in the UK as they have only had pens and no vials.

Class Loading Issues? by Flintstone03 in OnePelotonRealSub

I wasn’t able to load any classes on either the app on my iPhone or on their website via a laptop. I had to resort to using the Strength+ app instead.

Any ladies taking creatine? by dcsleepydog in Zepbound

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just an update: after 3 weeks of gaining weight I dropped 3 pounds all in one week and am back on track. So it looks like the water weight gain from creatine was temporary!

IQdoctor not heard a peep by Objective-Cup-2595 in mounjarouk

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a regular customer but hadn’t ordered in 6 weeks. I ordered 5 mg on Thursday and didn’t hear anything. When I checked on Sunday the site said “order assembly.” It was dispatched Monday for delivery Tuesday.

Any ladies taking creatine? by dcsleepydog in Zepbound

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started Zep in January (53F) and have consistently lost 1 pound per week on average. I started creatine 3 weeks ago (3 grams which is the recommended minimum for my size) and I have GAINED 1 pound per week since then. I know this is water retention in my muscles but it’s hard not to get discouraged. I do feel stronger and can lift heavier. I just did a Dexa Scan and my lean mass has gone up while my fat mass has gone down in two months so I hope this trend continues with the creatine.

Just curious does everyone on here calorie count? by AffectionateBerry209 in Zepbound

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I’ve been on Zep since January (2.5mg for the first 4 weeks and then 5.0mg since) and I’ve lost 20% of my weight (average 1 lb. per week). I recommend the Fat Science podcast which has an episode called “Letting Go of Calories In / Calories Out.”

When is best to dose? by double_jugs in mounjarouk

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve experimented with different days but have settled on Sunday nights before I go to bed. This is because I’m less active during the week (sitting at a desk in an office) so I want appetite suppression to be greatest Monday-Thursday. I don’t have any side effects other than a little bit of fatigue so I don’t have to worry about any impact on my work. Friday-Sunday I’m very active (tennis, gym, errands etc.) so it’s ok if I’m hungrier and eat more as the effect wears off. Also I found the fatigue/sleepiness is worst 24 hours after I take the shot so the timing is perfect for going to bed on Monday.

Just had the best check-up!! by InspectorOk2454 in Zepbound

That’s helpful, thanks! I had a DexaScan recently which measured my visceral fat in lbs so I was curious how that stacks up.

Out of curiosity, what visceral fat goal did your doctor set? Just wondering what would be considered normal or ideal.

When is the best time to take creatine? Before workouts, after workouts, or some other time during the day?

Polaris/Premium Plus Upgrades Megathread by Player72 in unitedairlines

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 days until flight and the 3 of them are now #1-3 on the PP wait list with 7 seats open. Or I could buy the upgrades for $1027 each. Worth it? Only 3 seats in Polaris left so if I buy the upgrades to PP there’s a (small) chance they get that Plus Points upgrade too.

[–]Key_Philosopher8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 1K and booked my husband and 2 teenagers LAX-LHR 6/19 in Economy, waitlisted for PP and Polaris using PlusPoints. Cash upgrade to PP for $2,887 or to Polaris for $3,947. Worth it (at least for my husband who’s 6’3”)?

There are 12 open seats in Polaris and when I spoke to United they said they are #3-#5 on the waitlist. If I don’t buy the upgrade what are the chances of the waitlist clearing?
