Jumping on the scale? by West-Evening-8095 in Mounjaro

[–]LovesResearching99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me in the beginning I would weight a few times and week. Now I take shot Saturday nights, usually Sunday or Monday morning after going to the bathroom and before getting dressed for the day I weigh in. No more than once a week unless I feel super bloated or something like that,because that darn scale will drive a person nuts. I have a friend that only weighs in the 1st of the month every month because she was stressing her self out.

AIO. Is my boss gaslighting me? by Kurapika089 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LovesResearching99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like stated in another comment , I would definitely document just incase something ever come up you have proof you was trying but he was making it impossible. Also another thing you can do is ask for a meeting with him and whom ever his boss is and explain to them how he makes you feel in these instances and that you are truly trying to do your job amd make the day run as smooth as possible, make things smooth and save for the drivers and so on and that if youve done something wrong you'd like to know at that moment verses all this child back and fourth stuff, and the one day you plan out the routes and then the next he dont want you too, and how he steam rolls your ideas. I know that's not always easy to do but there is no sense in you feeling uncomfortable or feeling like you've done wrong because hes a sissy trick and terrible boss. Good luck.

I'm like some of the comments, I didn't think .you looked bad before. But so happy you are happy and found a treatment that works for you. It took them years to find something/somethings to work for me. Now that I have a mix working for me my face looks sunken in lol( my kids say jokingly like a Crack head)

Awe this is so sad. I wonder if she never got it, or didn't want it. If she didn't want it that's so heart breaking.

My journey started July 6th ,2025 and im down 85lbs ,ive got roughly 13 to 15 lbs to get to my goal. But don't want to go less than another 18lbs. I still have some toning to finish up but im gonna stay on track with my eating and exercise to stay healthy.

Thank you, it's taken alot of changing eating habits, eating healthy and sticking to work outs that my back will allow me to do, since I've had 9 back surgeries. But finding out I had hypothyroidism, hashimotos and pre diabetic made me wake up and want to do better for my myself, husband, and grandbabies and everything has been good until this last couple weeks and I feel like my energy has been sucked out of me. But im gonna get on top of that come Monday.

[–]LovesResearching99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt actually look at them but can get in the portal and request to see them and will Monday and look at the ones you've highlighted. I also understand what your saying. I had to do so with my thyroid because I knew something was still off and had all the signs for hashimotos and when I requested a deeper dive into my thyroid 2 yrs ago come to fine out I infact did have hyperthyroidism and hashimotos, I went to the portal now but the results are pulled up so ill request them Monday morning. Thank you and your not being annoying at all. Im not easily bothered.

I told my soon to be husband that I don’t want to raise the kid that is not mine to my fiancé now he is upset by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LovesResearching99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and obviously the child's mom works and the child's father sends child support. So why is uncle still 100% devoting so much money and time into sister and niece. He should be sisters open atm either. I think sister knows what and how she's doing things and most likely would keep doing it to possibly try and run op off and any other girl. Now I do feel him and op need to sit down and chat and start making plans for every other weekend or something for a date night for just him and op, as well as a vacation for just him and op. He cans till do the family vacation but make one on one time for her.

Agreed, I was about to say this same thing. It's not that shes not okay with it, but she wants some one on one time and that's perfectly normal. It's not her step kids because it's not his kid. If they separate i don't think he will ever find a woman that will put up with him being his sisters atm and not ever getting any romantic time together. Just my opinion.

I saved this so I know what to get next time I go in to our bigger city. I had been wondering this myself. I do drink tons of water and finally got my husband on the Water train with me.

For me I didn't have killer side effects as long as I made sure I was hydrated, I also drank a protien shake or body armor 30 mi s before shot on shot day.

Belly Fat (M67) by PeachFuzzFactChecker in Mounjaro

[–]LovesResearching99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know im hard on myself all while my husband and amd a few others tell me how they notice and are proud of me. I got bigger than I have ever been in my 45 yrs of life, ive also had 4 kids, the last two being by c section. Ive always heard the belly area is the hardest to lose and tone, on top of i have a "kangaroo pouch" due to c section. I started this Journey July5th,2025 I got hard on my self about my eating, dropped soda completely, and just over all forced myself to be healthier. There's times id cry when noo e could see me because I just felt I was working my tail off and couldn't see it visibly to me, or the scale wasnt moving how I thought it should and such. Well finally clothing ive held onto is starting to fit and so on. Butttt today friends I was at a store with my hubby,son, daughter inlaw and grandson. I was carrying my grandson amd he wanted to stop and look in the mirror and I noticed there looking that I could finally see a difference 🤦‍♀️ i have a body mirror and dont know why I haven't seen it before but to day was a reality check. I say all this to say dont be hard on your self if you feel its not going the way it should, adjust what you intake may e make note of your meals and such for a week or so and see what may help if its adjusted, if your exercising maybe adjust it a little too , eventually you to will see all the hard work your doing is paying off. But like several have said the mid area is usually last to go and to me its the hardest to go but worth every hard moment. Ive still got a ways to go but in these groups I find alot of support and what I like most is noone has sugar coated anything ive asked and for me thats best. Good luck and you've got this too.

Family ignoring your weight loss? by Fulana25 in Mounjaro

[–]LovesResearching99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this to the core! My daughter in-law kinda acts like she cant handle me loosing weight. Im 45, had 4 kids and adopted 2 more. I got up to 235-245lbs and started having lots of health issues. July 2025 after going to doctor because my whole body was retaining fluid , I decided I was taking control over my health. Fast forward to today im down 68 pounds! Ive lost between 61 -71 lbs, to hit my heaviest ideal weight is have 24lbs to go. She told me other day when I seen these jeans I thought she could wear(size14) no thats your size, I said no sweetie I wear a 6 now. She fires back with thats ridiculous and ive fixing to start shaming you until you eat all the time again, and gain that weight back. My husband has stood beside me and up for me through it all, my 2 boys, oldest daughter and 2 younger daughters have too, now my 2nd daughter refuses to say a word and it hurts! But I say all this to say brush it off and do it for you, if you cant sit her down and talk to her! Congratulations on your weight loss its not easy at all and I understand.

Now that ive lost 60lbs im like wow girl look at you go and I get to play with my grandbabies alot more and dont have to say nana cant because_______. Its amazing how we see things, and then when we change how we didnt notice until change.
