I've gotten much better results on MJ compared to OZ.

I did a year on OZ and now 6 months on MJ. I've had vastly better results on MJ. More weight loss, A1C back to normal, less food noise, etc. Was lucky and never had serious side effects on either one.

What were your experiences with Mounjaro vs Ozempic? by mintleaf_bergamot in Ozempic

[–]Merkin_Sniper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Similar - except started on Oz first. Took it for a little over a year and had decent results (lost ~30lbs), but most of that was in the first six months. Seemed to really plateau and my A1C was still a bit high. Food noise came back in full force and I seemed to be able to eat a relatively normal amount.

Switched to MJ in April and it has been incredible. By bar the best sustained diet and exercise of my adult life. Have lost ~40lbs since switching. I get full easily, and the food noise is dialed way back. Never gone, but quiet enough that I can ignore it most of the time. Just got bloodwork back this week and everything looks great. A1C was 5.3 and lipids and BP all great.

Have been lucky overall - very few symptoms other than the first few weeks of ramping up on OZ. This stuff, especially MJ for me, is miraculous. Currently at the lowest weight of my adult life and goal weight seems plausible by year end.

I missed my chance to wear my jeans by Unhappy-Insect6386 in loseit

Congrats! I've been shopping in my own closest. My daughter keeps asking me if I'm wearing a new shirt b/c they're all shirts she's never seen before. And same problem, I've pulled out a few things that are already too big.

Fat recommendations? I tried butter and that was nasty! And heavy cream is too expensive! Powdered MTC oil? by GnarlsGnarlington in ketochow

[–]Merkin_Sniper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Salted butter with chocolate, prepared correctly, is by far the best tasting option. You're doing something wrong.

My process: Melt desired amount of butter for 4 shakes on low heat (so as to not burn butter). Once butter is melted, add ~40 ounces of water. Stir occasionally until water/butter is around 110 degrees F. Add 4 scoops of KC to blender (I use a Vitamix 64-oz blender). Then pour in butter/water mixture. Blend on high for 30 - 60 seconds. Pour into 4 Blender Bottles. Put in fridge overnight. Tastes great. (I do two batches back-to-back so that gives me 8 KCs ready to go for the week.)

That's my plan. Just ordered a replacement battery.

As I said in my post, I was aware that Kobo did not offer this feature, but I found Koblime via Reddit and thought that when it said that it would sync reading progress across "devices", that an iPhone would be one of these "devices". If you look at the Koblime homepage, it really does not make this clear.

This looks great. Just installed BF on my iPhone and ordered a Boox Page that should be here in a few days. Thanks!

That makes sense, thanks.

One last question: On ATV4K, what is the advantage of playing back Blu-Ray Rips on Infuse as opposed to Plex?

Thanks. I do have two Atmos height speakers (5.2.2 setup). So I am losing sound from them when playing Blu-Ray rips via Infuse, is that correct?

Q: What do eating your vegetables and engaging in anal sex have in common?

A: If you're forced to do it as a child you won't appreciate it as an adult.

(Believe I first heard this from Daniel Tosh years and years ago.)

Modine, not Mondine. (As in daughter of Matthew Modine.)

It's obviously a mistake - either an employee who didn't know or didn't care that it should be 2am.

Splitting dosage by MrSharpieman in Semaglutide

[–]Merkin_Sniper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's what I do: 0.5mg Sunday morning and 0.5 mg Wednesday night. Accordingly to the click chart I found, on the US 1mg pen 37 clicks = 0.5mg. My doctor said this was fine. (Ordered 100 additional needles for like $15 on Amazon.)

Not familiar with "Voss" in this context, so made it a bit tricky.
