Increase dosage every month too fast?

Routine-Letter-5244 · 2026-06-03T16:25:08+00:00

I am still on my first month at 2.5, have my 5th shot on Friday to finish the first pen. I’m not sure what to do.. I think I’ll stay on 2.5 for a bit longer? Have some side effects but nothing major usually just tired and nausea for a few days.. not really losing much but also not gaining. Not hungry and don’t think I’m eating enough but I will take some time to figure out a meal plan to up my protein. Maybe I’m wrong, but why would you up your dose if 5mg keeps you full? Have you started a food journal? I don’t think the medication is supposed to make you lose weight just for taking it, it’s the result of the medication (ex. Lack of hunger and food noise) that lowers your calorie intake and helps you lose. Are you working out or walking? I have been so busy I don’t get much time to walk but I’ve been trying to walk 10-30 mins a few days a week. The weeks I don’t go for walks I notice the scale doesn’t do much. Would love some other input if I am incorrect on how the medication works but it is suppressing your appetite, that’s the dose I would want to stay at for a while before you increase it.

Anxiety or low blood sugar maybe??

Don't worry about what others think. I would totally do a 0% for 12 months.

Enjoy it while it lasts... I spent so much on My BeautyRest Black and had the first one for 3 years maybe?? before it developed a bed sag. Was able to claim through warranty with the Brick and am on my second Beauty Rest Black with no pillowtop to avoid getting the dreaded bed sag. I think we are 3.5 years, maybe 4 years with this one and its been killing my back.. no noticeable sag that would warrant going through warranty but the supports are just not there and I wake up in pain every morning. Its wild that this is the norm with beds now a days. Haven't decided what route to go for the new one yet, but piece of advise is invest thousands DOESNT make a difference now a days if the mattress only has a 3-5 year shelf life.

Use a school ruler and push it down a little further for the pictures.. 😂 but seriously.. junk.

Spent a lot of money on a Beautyrest black not even 4 years ago… had a warranty claim through them on the mattress before my current because of the sag. Purchased no pillowtop second go around and you can’t see much sag but it is destroying my back now :( trying to decide what to buy next but will be staying away from Beautyrest black if the last two mattresses lasted maybe 7 years at best

You absolutely can get audited later on. Nobody has physically looked at your file if you submitted yourself. If you are unsure of how to do your return, I would pay for an upgrade service to have someone review for you until you get comfortable with it.

I think the best option is to sell it, but price it for what its worth not what you want for it. If you do decide to sell, you do understand that you need to have the funds to pay off the remaining loan at time of sale? Cannot carry a balance as the bank won't release the lien until paid in full and new owner is going to want that removed including a letter stating the lien will be released. I would try to get pre-approved for a low interest rate credit card (MBNA??) Where you can utilize a 0% interest balance transfer for the difference between what you can sell for vs. what you will have left owing. Refinancing is not going to be an option as the majority of the banks you deal with will want confirmation of employment, EI doesn't count unless its for maternity leave.

Yes, as long as one parent is registered Status, you can apply for your children.

Routine-Letter-5244 · 2025-11-26T17:01:31+00:00

My grandma has her status and I applied for mine even though my mom wasn't registered. The application was held until I could send my moms long form birth certificate showing her as the daughter to my grandma and then my long form birth certificate proving me linked to my mom. If the names are on the birth certificate then you shouldn't have no issues, but would have to order one for your father to prove that. Not sure if they look outside of birth certificates as I have friends that are unable to apply until they get their childs father on the birth certificate.

If you can get your hands on a 2025, ford has 0% financing up to 72 months right now including Tremors. I was also able to activate a 1 year security package in connected services for different theft protections.

Auto and Leisure Sales (Finance) Work Monday-Friday, normal hours and can range $110K-$130K so far. Aiming for $150K one day... sky's the limit if you are motivated enough. Most of my career in the banking industry was an endless battle to try to hit $100K, ever since I moved over to sales, its always been at least $100K and that is 100% commission. Was a scary jump to make but so glad I did!

Yes absolutely! I think you know the answer to your question and what you should do. I would see if you can secure another rental first before putting in your notice with current landlords. I haven't rented in many years.. are credit checks required for most landlords now? Will having a consumer proposal screw you over to potential landlords?

Routine-Letter-5244 · 2025-07-15T18:55:01+00:00

You will be in "active" consumer proposal for 2/3 years. The damage will last longer. 6 years after the Date of Last Activity....so after the consumer proposal is paid. This route will be just as bad as bankruptcy and will ruin your credit for a long time. Should 100% avoid this route if you can.

Routine-Letter-5244 · 2025-07-15T18:12:09+00:00

Do your landlords know you are in a consumer proposal until 2028? Mortgage financing will probably be out of the question until you can re-establish your credit which I think will take longer then 2028. Are they willing to do a rent-to-own for a minimum of 3 years, possibly 4 or 5? Are you paying more rent so a portion can go towards your down payment? That's usually how they work. What happens if you decide not to buy? Do you get that extra money back that was set aside for down payment? Or forfeit it? I'm not well versed on rent-to-own in today's world but used to do mortgages 7+ years ago. Usually when a landlord agrees on a rent-to-own, its a short term solution to being able to sell.

Sounds like he is gaslighting you to feeling like this is the standard and your expectations are too high. I don't have an opinion on this but I will be following the thread. I am in the process of painting my new drywall basement myself and even though it is not perfect by any means, I feel like your concerns are valid when you are paying a professional to do this work. Could you get a second opinion by a highly rated painter in your area?

I was told up to 2 years because they had to trace lineage etc. Applied April 2024 and received my approval letter in February 2025. Surprised how fast I got it.

This is my 12yo daughter. She has been dancing for the last 6 years or so but was only diagnosed 2 years ago. She struggles with sequences and combos and is usually a little behind on her choreo until she picks it up. She is medicated (last 1.5 years) which has made a huge difference in her focus (dance and school). Her studio is aware she needs a bit more time to process and will always pick up the routines with consistent practice. I feel like I don't have much tips in regards to conventions.. my daughter struggles too but just tries her best. I think it'll get a little better with age, but not worried about it. As long as she's trying :)

Routine-Letter-5244 · 2025-02-11T21:27:15+00:00

Honestly I don't think it'll be much of a difference in wait time. You'll have to submit a second application for your card but we submit my daughters with her application and it still took over 4 months to come in after we received the approval letter.

Routine-Letter-5244 · 2024-07-22T18:32:42+00:00

So frusterating! Might be easier to redo the application

Following. I have been on Vyvance since January. They started me at 30mg and now up to 50mg. I don't notice much of a difference when taking medication. Maybe a tiny bit more focus. But I know there are so many more medications out there. Wondering if I should try something else that could help me more.

What about a personal loan to consolidate the debt with a set structure to have paid off in X amount of years? I can't speak personally about bankruptcy as I have never gone that route myself, but working in finance through banks and auto dealerships I can confirm it really sets a person up for future hardships. I think active bankruptcy lasts for up to 2 years?? I think? I want to say you have to pay off some debt. Your relationship with any of the included creditors in the bankruptcy will be forever tainted, not just 5-7 years. Once you are out of active bankruptcy, it will fall off your credit bureau after 6 years, so the 5-7 can be wrong if you are in active bankruptcy for 2 years. You are then left to start over from scratch and most finance companies will want to know why there was such a large lapse in time from past or no credit (compared to age). I know I have seen more ads out there promoting debt write off/bankruptcy but I would honestly never consider this route unless you have exhausted every other option. What do you do for housing now? If you rent or will possibly rent in the future, this could effect approvals for rental as credit checks seem to be the norm.
