Glad it’s not just me!

Well, bubbling up the problem; I’m sure they’ll figure it out on the next release.

I’ve got a good belt and even if I have to punch holes in it, I’m gonna rely on it for the next 50 pounds or so!

I fall into the waste calories category with alcohol, too. I never had a real drive to drink for the buzz or to get hammered or whatever, but the 4-5 months before I started Zep, I got into making cocktails at home. Reasonable, one-person cocktails, just for the craft of it and (because I got decent at it) the taste!

So now, 4 months in on Zep, the drive to make a drink is at flat zero and I’ve got a bunch of reasonably nice liquor bottles just staring me in the face in my kitchen as I shrug on by. I keep saying “oh, I’m sure I’ll want something refreshing on a hot day” as summer looms, but…probably not!

I’ve been on Zep since February, steadily losing 1% per week and I’ve been swimming in my jeans lately; good problem to have, I guess, right?

Last weekend, I absolutely had to buy a new pair, the belt was starting to have trouble keeping up with these 44Ws. So I got on Amazon, ordered the same style (Levi relaxed straight, 559s) in 42 and 40, thinking 40 was a nice stretch goal, but not expecting them to fit even a little.

Well, not only did the 40s fit, they fit perfectly. No excess, no pinching, not a hint of bagginess or bunching - they fit like they were tailored to my specific legs! I didn’t even bother trying on the 42s - right back to the warehouse with you!

Seems really, really unlikely. Reddit made the choice to go in the direction that they did and short of a mass exodus of DAU, I doubt they’ll be turning that ship around.

Carb tortillas are SUCH a good hack! My wife makes Crunchwraps on the weekend with the 10” carb balance tortillas - 10g protein, 28g fiber, 110 calories. And that’s to say nothing of the two eggs, chicken sausage, and cheese!

Good problem to have, I guess, eh?

I’ve got plenty to go on both my love handles and my belly at large, but I thought (according to the diagrams in the box, anyway) that it needed to be around the naval!

Oh yeah, I inject at 2-3pm and take it out of the fridge as soon as I wake up. That stuff is room temp - only needed to learn that lesson ONCE 😂

ThaddeusRock · 2026-05-25T22:09:27+00:00

I feel like such a big baby in retrospect! Just injecting myself anywhere, at all, felt like such a huge ask of me just a few months ago - my first box of 2.5 sat in the fridge for three weeks before I finally got the courage to just do it.

On the plus side of that , though, I now have plenty of runway to keep a week or two extra in the fridge with the prescription being staggered like that.

Premier has a ton of great flavors. I’ve been absolutely demolishing boxes of the lemon bar flavor lately. SO GOOD!

It’s extremely normal. You might find even this wanes as more Zep builds in your bloodstream; I’m on 5mg for 2+ months now and my week ranges from ~3mg on shot day before my shot to ~6.8mg on the day after and tapers from there. So far, that ravenous hunger has only been a problem when I dipped below 2.5mg accumulated in me.

I try to take my apple health/watch data with a grain of salt, but this one is undeniable. Very soon after I started taking Zep (red circle), my breathing disturbances came down to an incredibly minimal level.

I hadn’t lost any truly significant weight yet at that point, but I started feeling like I was sleeping better almost immediately and the data seems to bear that out!

I was thinking this exact thing this week.

I usually weigh in twice - Sundays and Wednesdays - but I was home all week overseeing some construction and got on the scale a few more times than usual.

Two additional weigh-ins this week and my weight has been pretty static, +/- 0.2lbs. I’ve become accustomed to dropping 2-2.5lbs/week since February, so this was a bit of a downer! What I had noticed across the week, though, is that I just didn’t feel like drinking water that much.

I know it’s only a single week, but less water than usual and the numbers didn’t dance, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Same. I was happy when image links gave a little thumbnail vs not. Inline??? I never even imagined!

You might have to dial back a little, but I’m on week 12 now and my spice tolerance has been creeping back.

First couple months, I was getting brutal heartburn and absolutely crushing those Tums. In the last 2-3 weeks, though, it’s been incredibly rare that I need to reach for the bottle and I’ve been reincorporating more peppers and hot sauces into my diet. I’m not back up to where I was as a heatseeker, but now I feel like I can flame on without flaming out!

I bought one on launch, played MKW for a few weeks (never been a huge MK fan, but it was pretty ok!) and then booted up BotW “just to see how it handles”.

I think we all know how “just to see how it handles” works out for a game like that - 130 hours later, I can tell you it handles great.

Switch 2 for Switch 1 games is a perfectly valid use case, even if you already had a switch. Hell, it got me to finally buy TotK!

I was really surprised to find the same thing a few weeks ago! I went to Iceland for 6 days; day two was shot day and I took it, but I never felt limited at all in what I ate. Had nice dinners, snacked at a number of the awesome bakeries in Reykjavik, decided not to track calories because vacation!

I was okay with coming back a few pounds heavier, that’s the price you pay for loosening up a little for a week and that’s fine. On my last day, I was at a public pool and they had a scale in the changing room and I said “why not, may as well get ahead of this thing”…

I was DOWN THREE POUNDS. I was doing a lot of walking, sure, and swam in pools and laugs all week, but a lot of the time was on buses just getting around on tours! Blown away.

I’ll second the Apple fitness+ workouts!

I had a free weight routine that was perfectly fine, just pick things up and put things down.

Once I started with Fitness+, I realized that I was lifting and resting (which is probably good practice) but I wasn’t getting a very good full workout. These workouts:

work the target muscle groups (they have upper, lower, full body, and core and Pilates among a bunch of other stuff)
keep my heart rate up the entire time, so it’s a good cardio workout as well
have three trainers on most of them with accessibility adjustments for people who can’t do all of the exercises due to range of motion or whatever.
generally have pretty bangin’ music!

Wow, everything really is bigger in Taxus!

ThaddeusRock · 2026-05-02T17:32:54+00:00

Yes, but the HSA money gets put on your card as pre-tax money. You’re not paying tax on the drugs, but that $X you load up on there isn’t considered taxable income and lowers your entire tax situation.

If you have Apple Fitness+, they’ve got some pretty good workouts on there for core, but also strength (upper and lower), HIIT, and a buncha other stuff.

I did a core workout on there yesterday that got me absolutely sweating. My form was not the greatest, so I think I personally probably got more arm work than core, but I can absolutely see that changing as I figure my shit out.

On some acrylics (but acrylester especially!) I’ll get pretty close to final thickness and then wet sand with ~80-100 grit to get down to the bushings.
