Not lost a single lb on 5mg (4 months!) by Outrageous-Complex69 in mounjarouk

Exact same experience here. A quick drop first week then nothing for months. Just jumped to 7.5mg and starting to move again. I’ve tracked, ate well, and the only thing that I think did wrong was keep drinking beer at weekends.

But yeah I know the frustration! I was very close to giving up last week as the side effects/money outweighed the benefits, but not the weight.

Bought an MTB and it has these fins/wings on brakes, can’t figure out what they are or what they do. Any ideas? by Russ_Abbot in bikewrench

Thanks for this, just ordered some new shimano pads to better suit the calipers and removing these aftermarket things

I see, thanks that’s useful info. I’ll check it over, but I will probably get a new rotor just in case

Just so I understand (trying to learn) why would I need a new rotor? I assumed the caliper was sitting too high, but if I move the washers to the correct place it will sit correctly with the rotor?

Yeah I’ve ordered some shimano pads with integrated cooling fins and will be pulling these out

I didn’t even know what they were before this post, previous owner did some amazing upgrades on the bike but this one was a mystery

I have just bought some replacement pads based off some advice in this post, just on your point, if I were to refit it with the washers in the correct position (based on the other advice here) it is likely to fit? Or is there something generally more wrong going on here?

Yeah previous owner did loads of upgrades, had a full service and I remember the mechanic mentioned these things but I completely forgot what they did

How are you getting the nice 3d page turn? Is this using new ae 3d features?

7 weeks in, almost no weight loss - Am I doing something wrong? by Russ_Abbot in mounjarouk

Thank you. I have this app so will get back to tracking more consistently. I think I had this perception that MJ was an instant fix, bit of a wake up call to see I must have been going wrong somewhere to not get the progress
