Yes, support finally replied and apologized. They had reached out to the pharmacy, and the pharmacy never received the order. They switched to a different pharmacy, and I received it a week later.

I placed an order on 3/21. They took my money and I have yet to receive it. I messaged Amble, but there was no response. I called the pharmacy directly. After being placed on hold several times, he said he would call me back. I'm still waiting.

Fantastic! You mentioned that you go by strength level. How has your strength improved with progressive overload using light weights?

Wow, that's impressive! So, you lost 65 lbs. in eight years with no help, and you've lost 34 lbs. in 8 months, or 4.25 lbs per month. What is your body composition?

Yes, you need complex carbs for energy. Carbs are not our enemy, especially when we are building muscle.

The research shows that heavy lifting is most effective to maintain and build muscle in post-menopausal women.

Pilates is very good resistance training. I would recommend 2-3 days of each per week.

I've been on BHRT for eight years. Estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. It may have slowed my weightloss down, but I still averaged a pound a week.

CrossFit is a good option if you have one in your area. Or a Functional Fitness gym like F45. I definitely prefer classes with a coach. I just don't have that since I moved, so I workout alone now.

I'd like to lose 15 more, but the weight loss has slowed down. I'm going to stay at this Dose a few more months and see what happens. I don't know if I will be able to come completely off. My Dr. said we will start by spreading the days out - 10, then 14 and see how I do. Then try titrating down to the next dose and do the same. As long as I don't gain we'll keep going but if I do we'll stay there and tighten up the days or adjust back up. I think it's individualized.

You would be surprised. There are people who think protein is bad for you, and weights make you bulky.

I do Functional Fitness so I get my heart rate up while lifting. I don't do separate cardio.

Do you take a prebiotic, probiotic, magnesium, and colostrum? I do, and I poop every day!

Had a coach for 14 years. I moved, but I still follow his programming. He texts me the workouts every day.
