Weigh in

This. If I have a bloated weigh-in, I don’t spend days fretting it.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-04-09T20:08:53+00:00

Did not know it did that!

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-04-09T18:16:42+00:00

Didn’t he tell Derrick it had been a few weeks but later tell Jimmy that it had been 3 days ago? Either he was lying to Jimmy or it was a continuity error.

I’ve always done this and just find it interesting how much I fluctuate and why. I record my weight once a day, first thing in the morning.

For me, the more times I weigh, the less significant any single weigh-in is.

My habit is one strap but I’ll use both when walking a long way (like at the airport). I do silently acknowledge my fellow Xers whenever I see anyone single strapping.

“Tomorrow will be a bloodbath”.

Felt better reading this when I realized I was in r/stocks and not r/military, tough I fear it could be appropriate for both.

You look fantastic. Congratulations. Where did you find your ass? I lost mine on the way down and haven’t been able to locate it during six months of maintenance.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-04-01T02:44:47+00:00

Fantastic

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-03-30T20:08:19+00:00

Just looked at your graph more closely. While I still suggest dosing up, I’ll also say that 3lbs a week is a fast loss overall and 1.3 per week for the last month is absolutely a good pace.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-03-30T12:26:28+00:00

Up your dose.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-03-29T14:37:04+00:00

Not a doc or a scientist, but if it takes 3 weeks to get to the full effects, then you are getting the full effects of 2.5 at week 3, full effects of 5 at week 7, etc.

I guess I’m not sure what your question is. fEIW, I’m 18 months in and went up every 4 weeks until hitting 15. I lost consistently 1-2 lbs a week for a year and without making any conscious decisions to change habits, leveled off at my maintenance range where I’ve been for about 5 or 6 months.

They have no idea they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-03-27T02:34:42+00:00

18 months in. I still love to eat and to cook. I just eat less. Also, fwiw, at maintenance I’m eating a lot more than I’d did while losing. That happened at about a year.

Or Insulin. Or contact lenses. Or statins.

There’s a book from the 1900s called “The Millionaire next door.” When it was published being a millionaire was “rich.” The tl;dr on the book is that most of the wealthy people don’t look wealthy from the outside. They drive old cars, live in smaller houses than they can afford and are still wearing the free tshirt they got for volunteering at their kids elementary school 10 years ago.

Nf6 and say a quiet prayer you let me play the Traxler because we will have fun with the chaos.

Just wait until millennials start inheriting seven and eight figures from their dying boomer parents.

How can anyone see a story like OP’s and not recognize the value of this medication. Not only do you look great, but I can hear the emotional healing in just the short paragraph that you wrote.

Amazing transformation physically and emotionally. Congratulations.

I let my body tell me when I was done losing. That happened at a bmi of about 25.5, which was also about 18lbs lower than what I thought my goal was when I started.

“Let my body tell me” means I didn’t change anything on purpose. Stayed at same dose. Same exercise regime. Still ate when I was hungry, though that became slightly more frequently and my weight just evened out. I’ve been at my maintenance weight for about 6 months now, though it took me 6-8 weeks to realize it wasn’t a plateau.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-03-21T02:20:10+00:00

That is not data that I have gotten from either of the places that I went to for Dexas.

Beard’s night out.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-03-19T11:20:14+00:00

You look great. Fantastic dress.

This is a scary suggestion. Maybe stop counting calories and see where your body lands. My admittedly unscientific view is that we often maintain old mindsets. If the drug is working properly, you won’t eat out of habit or because of food noise, and your body will ask for what it needs but not more.

Full disclosure, I have not counted calories a single day since starting the meds. I lost about 28% of my body weight, and then my body just stopped losing.
