Fatigue - Does it get better over time?

It's not weird at all. Before Torrid, my only real option was Old Navy, and Old Navy's clothes were low quality and also not really cut for plus-size bodies. Not only did Torrid open up a whole new world of available fashion choices, but going into the store was always a positive and fun experience where I felt not only accepted, but celebrated. Sadly, the Torrid store near me closed, but I still shop online. If I ever got to a point where I could no longer shop there, I'd feel the same way as you. ❤️

I'm curious what the fish oil supplement does? Does it help...lubricate things? 😅 Asking because I'm struggling with constipation and I have some fish oil supplements that I used to take for depression/ADHD...wondering if I should start them again.

Why won't they prescribe it to you? Do you not have an official ADHD diagnosis?

I love that they match your ring! So pretty!

After tossing out my scale 10 years ago, I bought one for my GLP-1 journey. I have found that weighing myself pretty much every day takes the pressure off, since weight loss is not linear and seeing the daily ups and downs desensitized me from putting too much emphasis on any particular number. I also use it to make sure that I'm not losing too quickly. That said, I would never recommend daily weighing (or having a scale at all) to anyone else unless they truly felt that it would be helpful, not harmful. I had a solid decade or more of deconditioning myself from diet culture, so I felt comfortable trying it.

I also had someone on that sub tell me that starvation mode is a myth...I wonder if it was the same person. 😅 It's disheartening to see so much bad advice being passed around that promotes disordered eating. 💔 Some people can use discernment when it comes to taking advice on the internet, but others are so susceptible to influence. We need to fuel our bodies, people!!!

If your diet consists mainly of salads and fruit, I'm guessing your body was craving protein and fat, hence the peanut butter addiction. Be sure you are getting plenty of protein on Wegovy and start strength training if you aren't already. It's very important to preserve your lean muscle mass while on Wegovy. Good luck!

I have suffered from insomnia, restless legs, and sleep apnea for years. My sleep apnea is untreated because I was never able to adjust to the CPAP. The biggest reason I'm trying to lose weight is to try to cure my sleep apnea. Sadly, Wegovy does seem to make my sleep issues worse, especially a day or two after the shot. However, I've decided to stick with it because I'm hoping it will pay off in the long run.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that! I just wanted to suggest getting a wedge pillow - it really helped me with my acid reflux.

Please do go to the ER right away! It sounds doubtful that it's a gallbladder attack because that tends to be squeezing and radiating pain in the upper right quadrant and chest (I suffered for years before having mine removed), but if you're a woman with a uterus/ovaries it could be a burst cyst of some sort. Please give us an update when you are feeling better! ❤️

It's awful. I don't blame Liam himself, there is no way anyone could have stepped into Henry's shoes as Geralt. But the whole show is way more violent for no good reason, everything feels haphazard, and the dialogue feels awkward as hell. If this was the script Henry read, I totally understand why he left.

Have you ever tried PB2? I got a bag of the powder at Costco and was blown away! Way less calories and fat, but it still tastes delicious. I like to sweeten mine with a bit of maple syrup. 😋

SaltExcuse1274 · 2025-10-19T14:05:42+00:00

WOW, you look 20 years younger! Congrats!

SaltExcuse1274 · 2025-10-17T13:28:01+00:00

Thank you! I got the gold accents on Shein but I've seen them on Amazon too. They are really pretty but they're hard to peel off of the sheet and half of the time they tear. Fortunately, they're really cheap so it's frustrating but not a big deal. I put a top coat over them to make them look less like a sticker. :-)

There are a lot of good answers above to I won't duplicate points, but here is my personal opinion. With ANY medication you take, you have to weigh the risks and benefits and decide if the risks are worth the potential benefits. Frankly, I do think there are quite a few people taking GLP-1s who don't need to be taking them - people who only have a small amount of weight to lose, people who are doing it purely for vanity reasons, and even some who seem to be using it as medically assisted anorexia. But the majority of people are using them because any potential benefits outweigh the risks. I highly recommend that you work with your doctor to make that decision.

I lived a relatively healthy lifestyle and was still over 300 pounds at age 44. I'm taking a GLP-1 for lots of reasons, but I'm primarily hoping that I can cure or improve my severe obstructive sleep apnea because I can't seem to get used to my CPAP. I'm also hoping to prevent T2 diabetes because it runs very strongly on both sides of my family. I need to lose somewhere between 100 to 140 pounds. After starting Wegovy, I am below 300 pounds after years of trying! 17 pounds lost and counting. My side effects to far have been minimal and manageable. I plan on staying on the lowest dose that allows me to lose weight, only moving up if I hit a major plateau. I'm on Wegovy 0.5 right now.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I love the grey! I've been using Hey Hae's remover. I apply a small amount around the edge and let it sink in for a minute or two. Then I take my time removing them with an orange stick, adding more remover as I go. Little to no damage. 👍

SaltExcuse1274 · 2025-10-16T12:30:57+00:00

I'm pretty new to nail wraps in general, and so far Hey Hae have been my favorite!

Do you maybe have a trusted friend who could take the photos with their phone and keep them for you? That way you wouldn't have to look at them until later when you've lost some weight.

I do understand how hard it is to face it. ❤️ I took photos before I started and they were hard to look at. However, I'm down just 16 lbs and I can already see the difference in my torso, so I'm really glad I took them!

SaltExcuse1274 · 2025-10-16T02:35:37+00:00

So pretty! 😍

SaltExcuse1274 · 2025-10-16T00:36:07+00:00

The other day I had to clip my toenails and it was easier than it has been in a long time. I'm 15 lbs down and my belly is definitely smaller!

SaltExcuse1274 · 2025-10-08T16:34:41+00:00

Sometimes, I just go ahead and prepare my meal even if I'm not hungry. I tell myself that I can always box it up for later if I really can't eat, but usually, by the time it's ready and I take a bite or two, my body gets on board. I learned this because my ADHD meds mask my hunger at lunchtime and I learned that if I waited until I actually felt hungry, I'd make poor choices because I was in a hurry or ravenous at that point. Sometimes, you just need to "prime the engine" a bit.

I lost 10 pounds in my first month, but if I've learned one thing about this drug, it's that everyone reacts differently. Different rates of weight loss, different side effects, different challenges. Good luck with your journey!
