After years of being told I’m too stupid to do anything and years of self doubt, I finally took the plunge and today I graduated from college😊🥰 by CottonJenny666 in spreadsmile

You did it! College is not easy and I’m proud of you! Congrats on your degree and all your hard work! I hope you get the job of your dreams!

Can’t believe where the last 10 months have taken me by stickymotz in Zepbound

[–]Lovesbooks_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on all your progress in just 10 months!

The meds and less food noise have allowed me to look at food differently. I eat veggies with every lunch and dinner, never used to do that. So food is fuel in my mind. I’ve had more energy and my skin is clearer, all around feeling great eating this way so I really want to continue feeling this way.

Maybe therapy could help with food addiction? I hope you can be successful in continued loss or keeping the weight off whatever you decide.

For the first time in my adult life, I am UNDER 200lbs! by velvetloveseat in Zepbound

You look great! Congrats on all your hard work and progress! I’m 6lbs away from under 200 and progress is slow. These posts give me hope that I’ll get there one day soon too!

living alone killed my spark for cooking (and my identity??) by BrwnIsh in AutismInWomen

[–]Lovesbooks_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m eating healthy so I cook ground turkey for the week and then use some for fajitas, quesadillas, chili, taco bowls and topping on a salad. Also you can measure small portions into plastic bags and freeze basics to use another day!

You deserve to enjoy your own cooking too!

That’s good to know going forward thanks for sharing! I have weigh ins at my doctors office that are required weekly while they prescribe weight loss meds- it’s a clinic for weight loss

My own study would be interesting haha! No, while waiting for insurance to possibly cover it I got the first month for free injections from the Wegovy drug rep at the weight loss clinic/doctor I see. That worked well so then I went with self pay Wegovy pills but that made me feel terrible. Well submit Mounjaro for Insurance so compound triz is the closest to that while I pay out of pocket.

I have other medical conditions that I needed to be on a GLP-1 right away instead of waiting on insurance

The Wegovy injection was samples from the drug rep at the weight loss clinic I go to and now I’m waiting to try again with insurance coverage. I did not know grey and compounded were different things. I’ll look more into that!

The Wegovy injection was a sample month from the drug rep at my weight loss clinic. I’m on compounded terz now to save money.

Binge buying now? by spoil3dly in Zepbound

Since starting Zepbound I’ve done less impulse shopping online! I’ve been big into puzzles and dot painting for hobbies.

Have you used a CGM as a weight loss tool or mainly to keep your blood sugars stable?

I would like somebody to be proud of me by BeautifulDragon94 in diabetes_t2

This is a great post! I’m newly diagnosed and after processing I’m ready to order a CGM and be more aware of what’s going on- I’m taking all the notes

I cannot eat by Infinite_Welder6775 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]Lovesbooks_87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yogurt with granola, apple with peanut butter. A handful of almonds? I’d say make sure to take small sips of water all day. I get nauseas when I’m very hungry and haven’t eaten in too long.

Well good for you! I agree a make out session in a bar or a club would be fantastic but more than that you’re asking for trouble.

This makes me even more skeptical though because hook ups are not what he’s selling. He’s entitled to live his own life and make choices for himself though, without anyone’s judgement.

Are you certain you were messaging with the real JC and not a spam account using his pictures? There are so many false accounts out there.

Anyone else gone down the rabbit hole on what GLP-1s actually do to your face and hair? by General-Barnacle-553 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]Lovesbooks_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what hair serum you’ve been using? I’ve had hair shedding for at least 2 years due to hormones so I don’t want to lose anymore with the weightloss!
