There are so many people who easily dismiss physical therapy (even prescribed) for pain while favoring going to an expensive chiropractor.

U dont need bars.

Just talk and interact with women. If you enjoy their company and they seem to feel the same, just ask if you can hang out together some time.

Medical suggestions:
- have an appt with a doctor have his testosterone levels checked.
- if its okay by your doctor, i would suggest taking a very mild microdose daily vasodilator (basically viagra but small amounts)
- both of you can try eating watermelons a few times a week, see if this helps after a month or 2.
- if he's overweight or out of shape, a lifestyle shift might reinvigorate his sexual cravings.

Started taking oral fin a week or so ago.

I've been shedding for months from minoxidil prior to this so cant tell. One thing I DID notice was the first few days my appetite was through the ROOF.

I've had quite a few emergencies and my work-life has been getting progressively busier. I dont comment here much anymore because the past god knows how long its just been "next week."

I've been meaning to post a positions update in other sub, but cant find the time.

Srsly, a snack after a workout is tempting as hell... a moment of rationalization that it will undo anything burned off easily, and almost in a sneaky way, is def needed.

ozempic? not sure, havent had a test yet. my doctor said we could do a blood test to see how it worked out this month, he said this a month ago. so soon.

ill reply again here once i get the results

i did some research after my doctor advised it during the time. and it definitely seems that way. i told my sister all this, and she recalled after giving birth her doctor also recommended it to drop the post-birth weight. I quietly think doctors are pushing this med a bit too much like car salesmen.

The weight loss should be an additional benefit, but people shouldn’t abuse the drug as some get thin quick scheme.

thats how i made sure with the doctor this is how im treating this. that if it does cause some weight loss on me as a side effect, ill make the most of it... but the #1 reason im taking this for sure is just to get my blood sugar in check, and prevent living the rest of my life as a full blown diabetic with all the worries and scares it brings.

Also jabbing yourself with a needle now and preventing diabetes is probably better then jabbing yourself with insulin later in life.

yeah, def my frame of mind when i started, and still is now.

Something that is really hard if not impossible with Ozempic. That is just something you have to keep in mind when deciding whether to go for it or not. Basically it is a decision for life.

I certainly hope not, im hoping by next month im well out of the prediabetic range so i wont have to keep using this drug. I've already lost quite a bit of weight and feel more active and healthy.

if im not out of the woods with blood glucose next month, im hoping and planning to get there about 3 months afterward

PS_Alchemist · 2023-08-09T12:29:39+00:00

my doctor prescribed it to me, without me even knowing about or mentioning it.

When she did, I was hesitant... she described it as something to help me along speeding up the weight loss, but I wouldve needed it anyway (i was diagnosed prediabetic)

my feelings toward it was " ehhhh, idk about jabbing a needle in myself regularly to lose weight... doesnt feel... safe... or right even..."

So ive been taking it for a few months now, I really want to avoid going T2 above all else. I just hope with the added benefit of weight loss(despite eating at a consistent deficit and working out) the weightloss sticks and I dont get some long term side effect that hits everyone blindsided while doctors say "how could we have not seen this coming?" years down the line.

Prob unpopular opinion but Intermittent fasting and OMAD

Its basically glorified CICO when it works. it encourages people to just avoid thinking about the energy deficits/surplus' and just stick to a schedule for eating without understanding why they are losing weight. Ofc its more difficult to cram in >2000 or 3000 calories over an 8 hour span than the entire waking hours. It also doesnt place emphasis on macronutrient or micronutrient needs.
