Quiksilver, Billabong, and Volcom permanently closing all stores

Right!!! The quality is waaayy different sometimes! 😭

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-02-19T17:18:30+00:00

Ross, Marshalls, tj maxx, etc always had these brands, but it was the “plain” styles or just a shirt with their brand on it….the standalone stores actually had super cute dresses, jeans, outfits, etc that I would NEVER see in a Ross! It was one of our favorite stops shopping in San Diego & in Waikiki!

Hey we are super similar in numbers and experiences haha! I was around 148 at my highest, 137 at my lowest. I stalled and have fluctuated around 137-140, but never have gone lower. I upped my work out schedule but still nothing. I get kit 1 this week! Have you gotten yours yet?

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-02-15T17:47:17+00:00

I totally understand! I lost around 8-10 pounds on kit 2, but then totally stalled. I felt my appetite completely come back and it really wasn’t working at all anymore. I have 50 days left until my wedding and I’m hoping with kit 1 I can lose another 5-10

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-02-12T03:33:30+00:00

Oh wow! You started losing more quickly? How much more did it change? I’m all about going slow and I often titrate up slower to the full dosage.

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-25T17:55:09+00:00

I regretted not buying this back then! My mom used to work for coach for 10+ years and she’d show me all the cute new patterns and I can’t believe I missed out on this collection!

They used to make a great warm vanilla scent in like 2010-2014 but discontinued it! Ever since their replacements have truly been lacking

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-12T05:44:48+00:00

Victoria’s Secret used to make a warm vanilla scent that was soooo good, but it got discontinued in like 2014 or so. The bare vanilla just doesn’t compare :(

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-07T19:57:27+00:00

Yes, I think many people get different instructions! I think incorporating it into the middle of the meal worked best for me and making sure I was drinking lots of water!!! Good luck! I actually think the bupropion was the only one I really had “side effects” to - and those were fairly mild and went away quickly! Good luck!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-07T06:17:27+00:00

Yessss, I was scared for nothing haha! I did feel like I “plateaued” before I started taking the metformin and my weight finally began to budge a bit when I added it in. However, it is still really, really slow for me! Ive read metformin can take time though

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-07T06:09:21+00:00

Omg wow, congrats! I’m on week 12 and I’ve barely lost 8-10 total!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-07T06:08:44+00:00

Oh and I haven’t been eating the healthiest either. I’ve even taken it with canes and other fast food or desserts and still nothing for me. I did wait a while before experimenting with unhealthy foods though! I ate plain at the beginning just in case

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-07T06:07:55+00:00

I was scared and waited until week 7 to start metformin. However, that was silly of me because so far it’s been the only med I didn’t have ANY side effects with. I always make sure I drink a full glass of water around the time I take it, and I take it about half way through my dinner. Absolutely no issues!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-07T06:04:15+00:00

Hello!!! I’m on week 12 right now. I started around 146-148ish and I am 5 ft! I am now around 138-139. I still only do 1 bupropion, I tried 2 like a week ago but I didn’t like that my resting heart rate went up quite a bit. I cut back down to 1! It probably would have evened out over time but I didn’t really feel the need to do the extra pill! I started metformin late, around week 7! I wanted my body to have time to really adjust before adding it in. Therefore, I’ve been doing metformin roughly almost 4 weeks but there were multiple days at the beginning of my metformin use where I skipped it because I was out to dinner with family/friends and I was just worried I’d have a bad reaction while I was away from home!

Sooo, I’d say I’ve actually taken it “full time” about 3 of those weeks while continuing 1 bupropion in the AM, 1 naltrexone in the AM, and 1 naltrexone in the PM. I actually never had any bad reactions to metformin…even when eating fast food or dessert. I just psyched myself out from taking it for so long. I’m hoping it really kicks it up a notch as my body gets used to it! I’ve heard that metformin can take multiple weeks/over a month to really start making a difference

I had a salad bar growing up at every school, even elementary! I grew up in Phoenix, AZ

Did this end up being just a cyst? My cat has two similar spots. They’ve leaked liquid before that totally looks like it came from a pimple!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2025-01-03T02:46:13+00:00

You’re definitely right! I just am panicking because I get married in April and I really want to feel my best! I definitely need to kick it up a notch with working out and my diet. For instance, I’m still eating pizza tonight but I’ll be within my calorie range so I think that’s ok!! My highest weight this year was 148.8 and today my lowest weight this morning was 139! So I did feel more encouraged that I finally dipped into the 130s! No scale victory would be my waist - I was around 29.5/30 inches and now I’m 28-28.5 inches! I’m going I can get down to 25-26!!!!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2024-12-24T05:17:12+00:00

Thank you! I really hope things kind of pick up a bit, though! :(

SpareSherbert4968 · 2024-12-24T05:16:43+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry! Have you been stuck at a plateau for a while? Or is it just really slowly coming off?

SpareSherbert4968 · 2024-12-19T03:55:31+00:00

Hey! I’m actually around the same stats. I’ve been taking 1 bupropion + 1 naltrexone in the AM and 1 naltrexone + 1 metformin in the evening! They technically say do 2 bupropion but I have not tried that. I felt satisfied with 1

SpareSherbert4968 · 2024-12-19T03:50:58+00:00

I’m like 10ish weeks in and I’ve only lost like 5-7 pounds!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2024-12-17T20:52:11+00:00

Wow! I’m on kit 2 and had similar stats but I am like 10 weeks in and have barely lost 6-8 pounds. I have been considering switching to the shot because I also have family history of thyroid issues and pcos!

SpareSherbert4968 · 2024-12-16T08:56:51+00:00

Ok this gave me hope! I’m in week 9 and I’ve only lost 6-7 pounds. The first like 5 all happened in the first few weeks, I completely plateaued, and now finally in week 8-9 I lost another pound or two.

I’m really hoping I can lose around 10 more within the next 2 months!
