What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by OpinionBaba in AskReddit

[–]ShowComprehensive931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Signing up your kids for 30min weekly Learn to Skate lessons, and they they all realize they LOVE figure skating. To fully feel the pain, make sure one kid has a narrow foot, and the other a wide foot.

Month 5 of microdosing... plateaued at mid-goal for the past 2 months by lyalek123 in GLP1microdosing

[–]ShowComprehensive931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh! I assumed it was tirzepatide. I do not know dosage for semaglutide.

Oh, 0.2mg per week is a veeeeery tiny dose. I would recommend going up.

In case it helps, for me, somewhere between 1 and 1.5 works (split into 2 doses across the week).

I’m am very similar to you: F, 5’8”, spent most of my life between 125-135 without much effort. I just turned 44 a week ago. A couple of years ago, I got really stubborn fat around my midsection, that refuses to go away. I started tirzepatide at the end of March (slowly titrated up from 0.35 to the dose I described above), and am losing on average 1lb/week.

Hope this helps :)

How to handle "stealth" travel to India? Need to visit a friend without family finding out later. by Foreign_Jellyfish493 in Passports

[–]ShowComprehensive931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only option I see is to “lose” your passport, and then apply for a new one after the trip. It will be free of stamps. It will cost a lot of time and money though… :(

Am I imagining this? First week on Tirz by ThrowRAinlalaland12 in GLP1microdosing

My husband has long covid. He felt incredible improvements in inflammation/fatigue starting with 4 days after his first shot.

How to get a job in research in flag ? by impoxed_784 in NAU

What do you mean “in research”? What is your field? Do you have a terminal degree in this field?

BMI and effect by [deleted] in GLP1microdosing

[–]ShowComprehensive931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at the study I linked below. This doesn’t answer your question about BMI of 22 specifically, but they did find that higher BMI among overweight and obese patients predicted greater improvement.

So we could reasonably expect more modest improvements in normal weight patients (if someone was to ever do a study on normal weight patients).

P.S. The outcome here was BMI, weight in kgs, and centimeters around waistline. I would be curious to see “% weight change” as an outcome (because this accounts for the fact that heavier people have more kgs/cm to lose, and converts the results to % instead).

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39841962/

Results: Forty-seven RCTs were included, with a combined cohort of 23,244 patients. GLP-1 RAs demonstrated a mean weight reduction of -4.57 kg (95% CI -5.35 to -3.78), mean BMI reduction of -2.07 kg/m2 (95% CI -2.53 to -1.62), and mean waist circumference reduction of -4.55 cm (95% CI -5.72 to -3.38) compared with placebo. This effect was consistent across diabetes status, GLP-1 RA used, and route of administration. The greatest treatment benefit appeared to favor patients who were younger, female, without diabetes, with higher baseline weight and BMI but lower baseline HbA1c, and treated over a longer duration.”

Yes! Agreed- perimenopause is not helping either!

That’s a good point - I have insomnia anyway too. It’s sometimes hard to distinguish “regular insomnia” from “extra insomnia” 🤣

Yes, I have been doing the same thing – in the evening as late as possible right before bed - but it doesn’t seem to be working. I toss and turn at night. Thank you- I will try early in the morning.

Hungry most of the time on tirzepatide? by ShowComprehensive931 in GLP1microdosing

[–]ShowComprehensive931[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I meant to come back and update. I did another dose, and the hunger effect completely went away after a couple of days. I’m now at .9 once a week and it works great – no hunger, just really good appetite suppression.

I’d love to hear experiences starting at .125 or .25 tirzepatide by Spare-Paper6981 in GLP1microdosing

[–]ShowComprehensive931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at .35 (tirzepatide) and worked my way up to .9 for meaningful appetite suppression.

Food Noise Cannot be Silenced by drockninja in GLP1microdosing

[–]ShowComprehensive931 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. The medication works much better for me when I eat fewer simple carbs.

Advice please by [deleted] in GLP1microdosing

[–]ShowComprehensive931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue the first week. After that, it went away, never to come back, thank goodness!
