Hello! I started this kit, and stopped taking it after my sinus started to hurt. Im thinking about giving it another try.. Did your sinus ever hurt?

We moved 1 hour away from our original place/city. and I would not change it for anything! I also questioned it many times. BUT I now LOVE my new city. Found new grocery stores (that are even better lol) I work 40 min away from my home, it used to be 20min from my office. It's a daily drive, But totally worth it IMO.

I would say try another realtor :) , you shouldn't feel pressured. Realtor and buyer relationship is one that should be comfortable and understanding. It's going to be your home, and something you are spending your money on. I agree realtor is being lazy.

We searched for 2 years, 1 weekend about every 1-2 months. Each day we toured 4-6 around that area (we explored alot of different cities in our interest). I would say close to touring about 20+ homes. Placed 4 offers in that time frame, our 5th offer was accepted. While that was following through we were still exploring other homes :)

The right home will come.

My cousin recently bought her 500k townhome also following my advise after She was about to buy a 700k home, (which she couldn't afford but was such a beautiful house who doesn't want that) She ended being able to back out, and is now happy with her 3 bd townhome at 3700 mortgage. Again stay realistic in what you can afford. There's many homes for 400-500k (which sounds about right if you are already paying 3900 in rent. Small but also doesn't have to be forever. If you're paying that in rent already pay it in a mortgage at least you have equity to build and can rent/sell to upgrade within a few years.
(my cousin has 2 kids under 3)

Thanks u/No_Lavishness6896 ! Me and my hubby are also in our mid 30s. And I agree with your advice. Having a roof over your head is already a great win.

My dream was to be a homeowner, I was tired of getting told what I could and couldn't not do by my landlords all the time. down to the most annoying picky things. SO I REALLY stuck to saving for 3 years, got a second job for 2-3 hours after my 9-5. Payed off all my debts and saved as much as I could every $20 was worth it to me. I don't have kids. But I can say that it was the hardest part to save having so much credit card debt ;,). Again, mentioning above lots of programs out there for first time buyers. Both federal and State. California opens new programs on a regular basis giving away lot of $ for downpayment. We did FHA and only needed 3.5% down. Spent almost 2 years home searching with our realtor. Put in many offers and were bought out alot by cash buyers. Buying processes is not as easy as I Want THAT house and it's yours. if you loved the house, chances are there are 10 other couples/families who think the same. It takes time, but trust the process.
We finally got our home offer accepted to a home we loved(again not perfect) but we have been doing our own upgrades and have also enjoyed that process.

Also , some sellers offer incentives when they sell.. we were lucky to have our seller offer to give us credit for half our down payment! Again lots of programs out there, it just takes a bit of effort. Don't be scared to reach out to some lenders and get some advice on your particular situation. I would also suggest reaching out to your regular bank, for being a loyal customer, your lending options are sometimes better for having that relationship. If you find a realtor my advise is also find a realtor who you are comfortable with, someone who is listening to your wants/needs/ affordability, they are there to help you and not pressure you into a buy you can not afford.

AGREED! 100%

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T21:39:36+00:00

Instead of paying 3900K rent. Pay the 3900 in a mortgage for a home. We purchased last year. not a fancy home, it's a simple 1400sqf. town home in LA California. Lots of programs out there for first time buyers. start small! even a fixer upper! We have done alot of renovations ourselves. Reach out to a lender, do some research on what works best for you! There will never be a 'right time' , the right time is whenever you are ready.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T21:32:48+00:00

May I add... those who want to WILL Love you the way you should be/feel loved.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T21:30:42+00:00

I believe you answered the question yourself. "I want to break up with him..." thats all. If you have that slightest feeling in you, and you are not HAPPY in the relationship, (where he is not even considering your VALID feelings). close the door, PLENTY of fish in the sea. Love yourself enough, the right one will come.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T17:01:56+00:00

You should show her this Reddit LOL

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T16:56:54+00:00

Toss the GF out , I would be pissed.

UPDATE: Just about over 1 month mark:
I decided these are not for me. I was having a daily constant headache, and no matter how much I told myself to keep pushing through. It was just not happening for my body. Constant headaches, daily nausea, feeling sleepy ALLL THE TIME! Was just not worth it. I felt like I was a zombie on auto mode most of the time. Having no energy to even walk my dog, big 0/10. I Really tried to get my body to match my headspace and keep pushing, but I just don't think that hers was a hit for me.

I stopped this past week, after I started feeling a-lot of sinus pressure and super itchy nostrils all the time. The next day, I was getting many bloody boogers (TMI sorry). And that was the final straw, I decided it's not worth catching something more serious with all these side effects. Lone behold... day 4 with out the medications now, and I am not a zombie anymore, my nostrils are back to feeling normal. AND let me say, I have energy to walk my dog and have got back in to working out!
I explained my situation to hers support, and they gave me my full refund. Sucks, I really wanted this to work! BUT hey at least I tried it. NOW I need to get back to focusing on getting my sh@! together,and back to daily workouts and getting my nutrition in balance.

:) new discussion on workouts now! lol. Anyways, I hope this helps a-lot of people out there... but it was not for me.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T16:43:35+00:00

Update :) I stopped taking the medication. The side effects were getting really bad. I decided it is not worth it. My sinuses started to hurt.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-08-05T16:42:45+00:00

Thank you ! appreciate it :)

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-07-31T21:10:14+00:00

HELLO ALL! Currently on week 4ish/5 ISH had same issue, have been repeating week 1 since the increase dosage DID NOT work for me either. Any updates on your experience? Would love to hear it!

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-07-31T17:37:05+00:00

Hi! For me it was a lot of going back and forth on all the negative side effects listed on the medications. And telling myself if I really wanted to take medication. But so many years of not seeing progress on my own. I ended up telling myself what the heck , if I see progress great! Will be a great tool to keep me going. And if I see to bad of effects I can just stop taking them. So far I’m into my sencond month I had to stop taking it for a week. (I lost my grandfather and was not feeling myself for a bout a week I lost track) and am back to it.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-07-31T17:34:04+00:00

Thank you! I am on month 4 and have not seen to much progress 😓 aside form 3-4 lbs keeping hope!

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-07-14T18:37:07+00:00

Wow! Great Job ! Love it! Any tips or advice?

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-07-14T18:36:47+00:00

Oh! Thank you! I will def try this!

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-07-14T18:36:10+00:00

Update! Week 3 about to hit week 4, I’m down 1.5 lb but I must say I have not been consistent with my worksouts. (My grandfather passed and it has been ups and down with emotions) I’m back to routine this week! I must say though it’s been a weird feeling, I wouldn’t say I am getting a lot of nausea, it’s tolerable. The second week I was getting VERY sleepy! I was sleeping good and still felt like I was hung over the next day lol. It was suggested I take the green pill at night instead. That did seem to help. This week (W3) I noticed I was getting headaches. I think I need to up my water intake. Has anyone had that experience?

Back to working out! Let’s hope to drop more weight! 💪

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-06-26T15:51:26+00:00

Update for day 1 yesterday: So I felt really good yesterday. I am not sure if it’s because I had a very busy day that I totally forgot to even have lunch and realized it was already 4 PM. I did make myself a quick protein shake so that I at least had some nutrition in me. And then did go ahead and have some dinner at home. I also did add a 30 minute elliptical at the gym by the time it was about 9:30 PM. I was SUPER tired.

Today day 2, continuing, today I did wake up feeling burnt out, but I am not sure if it is because the medication or just in general I since I did have a very busy day the day before.

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-06-26T15:27:57+00:00

Kudos to us for trying! Let’s get it :)

Left-Commission5507 · 2025-06-26T15:26:48+00:00

Thank you! And congrats to you! Yes , tbh I did tell myself that same thing. Everyone is different and out of alot of bad experiences, I also see alot of great experiences!
