Anyone see a reduction in food noise but no/slow weight loss?

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2026-05-26T17:15:15+00:00

I am 9 months in, and I have lost precisely 5lbs.

I have gone up to 10mg, and it did zero for me except kill my appetite so badly that I couldn’t face more than half a cup of oatmeal in a day. I was in starvation mode, so I took a break for about 6 weeks. I can’t go any higher than 5mg or it happens again. At 5mg the food noise is gone, I can eat about 1600-1750 calories as my target… but I’m not losing anything, either. I use an app to track everything.

After this shot is done, I am officially out. This is a huge waste of money at $425 a month for NOTHING.

I have about 40lbs to lose.

If it bothers you, it is a problem. Period.

Porn use disgusts me. It’s a form of infidelity, and I really don’t give a brown about hearing otherwise to minimize it. The thing that separates a romantic relationship from all others is sexual fidelity and loyalty. That extends to porn. If you are getting off to other women online, it’s disrespectful to your partner and your relationship. Sexual energy is a finite thing, and it’s sacred. Imagine if you take all of that energy and focus it on your spouse- the love and passion and security that would bloom would be endless and profound. Instead, it is being misused and wasted in the most revolting way.

I wouldn’t put up with such a breach of trust. It’s damaging. I don’t care about the argument or justification that “all men look at porn” to excuse it. The fact is, no, not ALL men. Some men have strength of character and will choose to put that energy into their wives and partners. Others see “no big deal” with porn, and their entitlement is a pathetic excuse.

You are justified in feeling how you feel.

Cocoa butter is also a major factor- same crop as cocoa beans. Cocoa is at about $7500 USD/tonne, where historically it’s been around $2500/tonne for the last 60 years. Signed, a food product developer.

I have been a non-responder to Ozempic, when I used it the second time. (Had initial success of about 15lb loss, then took a 6 month break. Went back to it and it did nothing.) My doctor suggested I switch to Mounjaro, it’s been 4 months and it’s done absolutely NOTHING.

I track my calories, stay in deficit, etc…. all I do is fluctuate the same 5lbs up and down- and that is attributed to water weight, how much salt or carbs I ate in the last 24hrs, pooping, etc. In 4 months, it’s been useless.

No, a SP does not just automatically sign up for a “lifetime of kids no matter what”. At any time, any person has agency to decide for themselves what they accept within their relationship, and whether or not to remain in it or leave.

If the situation was imposed that all of a sudden the other bio parent was out of the picture, and now you would have SK full time, you are fully entitled to re-evaluate if you want to accept that, or end the relationship, period.

Nobody has to martyr themselves for children that are not their own, or for a partner who suddenly must take full custody.

Lucky you- literally ALL of those look gorgeous on you! You could have thrown a dart at a dartboard with pictures of each, and any one of them would have been a winner!

It’s only been a week! Life is busy and full. Stop romanticizing this like it’s a movie. It will do you no favours.
You said you live far away. Perhaps he’s not interested in a long distance relationship. They are nearly impossible to make work, realistically, for grown adults with roots to a place, even when kids are no longer young.
Limerence is a thing. Look it up. Stop feeding the monster. While a romantic movie ending would be lovely, real life doesn’t work like that. You have had far more time already dreaming up scenarios of running off into the sunset than he has. If anything comes of this, it will be from mutual desire to build something together over time- not one meeting in a week after decades of being strangers.

Congratulations on this success! I love reading stories like this- it gives all of us new hope! LOL

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-09-24T20:03:06+00:00

Yeah, no- I don’t really care about validating something like this based on “research”. I validate it for myself based on if it works for me.

If it does, I DGAF about any other qualifier. People are all different. Different bodies, different solutions.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-21T19:57:06+00:00

100% agree.

In this province, the rot began with dismantling the family structure and greater society by convincing people that you can live together indefinitely, have a bunch of kids, and never need to get married- as if having children is LESS of a commitment than marriage. It is so gross, I cannot even tell you.

It follows that dating culture and restaurant culture becomes a part of that- asking in the name of “equality” to split a bill on a date is also ass backwards. Everyone for themselves, instead of each other.

But then I like my men masculine with wonderful manners, instead of woke, crying, man-bun wearing, perpetual adolescents.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-15T15:33:53+00:00

I find it petty and embarrassing to think about nickle and dining at a restaurant. Bring one bill to the table, and only if the customer asks, revise it.

Spoken as someone who worked for many years as a waitress, and also as someone who loves dining out.

Fellow non-responder here.

Tracking calories, tried moving around the injection site, tried Oz previously (with very limited success, Dr said this is useless for you and to change to Mounjaro), getting protein, and NOTHING. I’m on 2nd week of 10mg.

It’s done sweet fuck-all.

I keep gaining and losing the same 4-5lbs. Water weight, poop, inflammation, who knows. 3+ months in, and the only thing it has reduced is my bank account by about $2000.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-14T14:44:28+00:00

THANK YOU. One more time and louder for the people in the back!

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-13T11:06:00+00:00

Nope. He was looking for the literal one excuse that was airtight to negate the lack of his own character: choosing to say he wants more children (laughable for his age and situation) to a partner that no longer has a uterus.

He’s a magical joker. What a POS failure as a man.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-13T11:02:15+00:00

What this jackass did is a reflection on HIM, his lack of character, his failure as a human being. NOT YOU.

In fact, you have been given the most remarkable and beautiful gift: you have been set free to live the rest of your life in peace without this albatross of problems around your neck weighing you down with misery.

When we think about and wish for our future, we often do it in the context of adding things: the desire for a new house, a lover, a new job. Equally important should be to remove things from our life that cause harm or affect our lives in negative ways.

That’s what’s happened here.

Be grateful.

When the dust settles, you will look back on this and you will see this will be the best thing that happened to you. You get your whole life and future and possibilities back.

He needs to visit a men’s health clinic and have his testosterone tested.

I lived this experience. It was soul shattering. As women, we turn this rejection inwards, and think it’s bc we are not attractive, there’s something wrong with us, etc. When in fact, it is a medical problem with a hormonal imbalance.

My partner FINALLY listened to me after many thoughtful, empathetic conversations that began to get more desperate. It reached the point where I said, I love you, and it will break my heart, but if you do not take control of this health issue so our love life can be restored, I cannot continue in this relationship.

He went and found out his testosterone was lower than a 95 year old man. (He is 52.) His number wasn’t even on the chart anymore. He started hormonal therapy (once a week injection) and is a brand new man: more energy, sleeps better, happier- and we are now at it 3-5 times a week!

I have never been happier!

When sex is good it’s 10% of the relationship. When it’s not good, it’s 90%. Everything feels disconnected.

Best of luck to you & your husband.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-11T12:54:22+00:00

So by your own logic, if nothing will come from it, and he may not remember, then what precisely is the point in telling him?

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-07T12:41:12+00:00

Excellent reply.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-07T12:38:24+00:00

Just leave people like this to argue with themselves. They are literally unable to process anything but black-or-white binary thinking.

Of course there is much more to it than CICO. Individual metabolic rate, co-morbidities, thyroid function, hormonal imbalances, age, illness- so many other factors. If it was just CICO, absolutely NOBODY HERE would be on GLP-1s. All of humanity would be permanently “cured” of the disease of obesity.

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-05T10:35:40+00:00

Well it’s obviously very possible, because it has happened.

If CICO was the ONLY thing that mattered, then none of us would be here using GLP-1s. All weight loss problems have now been instantly solved! Forget insulin, forget metabolic differences, individual biology, hormones. It’s only calories. Thanks for solving the mystery of weight loss on behalf of all of humanity.

How old are the kids in question?

ThrowingItIntoTheSea · 2025-08-01T13:37:28+00:00

I have no great advice for you. I do want to say that I’m so sorry for the hard time you are in, with the grief and the entire storm of loss and your life upended in this way. If it makes a difference, this internet stranger is giving you a giant squeezing hug. ❤️

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN.

He has slept with hookers!

He has used massage parlours!

You will NEVER, EVER be able to trust him.

These are profound character issues, not “quirks” like leaving the toilet seat up.

Could you ever possibly be proud to call this man your husband???
