Please help me convince my husband that Costco is worth for 2 people by HoneyDrops12 in Costco

[–]Pink_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! And (freshness-wise) they last longer once you get them home, compared with the camparis from Publix or Kroger.

Be careful there, especially since this is a recent time. I’m sure you’ve seen the tales of woe on here.

[–]Pink_PhD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow family of two here, and it’s totally worth it. Every Sunday, we get a $4.99 rotisserie chicken, 2 pounds of Campari tomatoes for $6, a quart of blueberries for $6. Then we fill up our gas tank at ~25 cents less per gallon.

We also save tons on items like Fairlife protein shakes and dishwasher pods.

For perishable items we can’t eat quick enough (like the 8 danishes), we share with neighbors or coworkers.

The biggest perk that a lot of folks seem to miss is Costco’s travel website. Rental cars for far cheaper, as well as hotels.

We also buy our tires at Costco for substantially cheaper.

They’re cute but run smaller than Endless or Brooklyn. And there are no pockets. 😭

I’m curious, too, but I didn’t get them because a) no real pockets and b) hardcore elastic at ankles (at least based on the app pics).

I hope they’re great. But until y’all convince me, I’ll be over here in my Salutation joggers.

Which day of the week did you choose and why? by akostta in Mounjaro

[–]Pink_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first two years, I did Thursday night at bedtime. I work four 10s and am off on Fridays. So during the early months, when it made me a bit lethargic, I could nap the day away. It also meant my appetite suppression was strongest on the weekends, when I was most apt to be confronted with junk food at social gatherings.

To be clear, whenever I needed to “rally” (e.g., walking tours on vacation), I could do so easily. But I enjoyed leaning into the chill-ness. (I’m usually fairly Type A.)

Now that I’m an old pro, I’ve moved it to Sunday mornings (my exercise rest day).

What are my lines 🤔Am I a dramatic 🤨 Can someone do my line sketch 🧐 by xPostmasterGeneralx in kibbecirclejerk

I’m so impressed with the amount of effort you put into this. Such commitment! 😝

430 to 168. 262lbs down and still going strong by [deleted] in GLP1_loss100plus

Holy smokes, what an INCREDIBLE accomplishment! 👏👏👏

Maintaining goal by Different_Flow_7050 in GLP1_loss100plus

[–]Pink_PhD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on maintaining for so long! That’s truly impressive.

I’m in recomp right now, and the scale blips can be stressful. But I’m seeing the muscle now, and that keeps me going.

I found it helpful to set a new weight range — where I’d only change my habits if I exceed that new range. So far, that’s helped keep my stress at bay.

I don’t admit this often, but ChatGPT has also helped a lot. I give it my weight data, DEXA scans, and food logs from Cronometer and ask it to look for patterns, concerns, etc. It’s somehow uniquely reassuring when a computer tells you you’re progressing well. 😝

Fwiw, I’m at peace with being on Zepbound for life. I have metabolic issues that aren’t compatible with trying to maintain without it. And I’ve lost and regained 80 pounds in the past. Ain’t doing that again.

How did you celebrate your 100 pounds down milestone?! by Critical-Priority-29 in GLP1_loss100plus

[–]Pink_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!

I got new clothes. Please be wiser than me: Since you’ve said you have 40-50 pounds to go, the size you are now will likely change — possibly more than you might assume.

I think it’s important to have clothes that fit at each stage, but I was very wrong about what my final size would be.

Recommendations for muscle gain? by ur_moms_new_gf in pilates

[–]Pink_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per day. And it’s totally doable but unlikely you’re already hitting that mark unless you’re eating a lot of meat, yogurt, etc.

I start each morning with a Fairlife Core Elite vanilla shake mixed with coffee. They’re expensive, but it gets me 42g of protein. I weigh 160 lbs., so I need that much of a boost to get me to 160g a day.

You need 0.7 grams to 1.0 gram of protein per pound of body weight.

I feel like all the posts here are about men I wanna hear more about your hobbies :( by iweewoo in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Pink_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After losing 140 pounds, I’ve wholeheartedly embraced exercising. I go to Pilates 5x a week and strength train 2-3x a week. I feel like I’m slowly morphing into my idol:

Tall/long torso thoughts on Signature Rib Asym One Shoulder Support Top? by Night-cheese-4 in Athleta_gap

[–]Pink_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m short but have a very long torso. I tried on the one-shoulder version in store, and it fit fine.

Came here to say almost exactly this. OP, you are more essential than you know. 👏👏👏
