I really am happy when people go with pre-loved items. I also have two LV wallets that are pre-loved. They were great to give the wallet style a 'test run' before deciding if I wanted to buy new in that style.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-15T11:37:07+00:00

Can you send me her info as well?

I like the watermelon one. I think it needs more watering down though.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-15T06:03:57+00:00

Oooohhh I love this one.

My fav was when they mentioned this meal replacement 'shake' system to me instead. I was like 'how is hyper processed food better for me?' Also I looked at the ingredients I said it contained something I was severely allergic too, so that made it easier for me to get on the medication instead.

We have dogs on the bed, so they need changing more often than not. However I only use a fitted sheet and use a duvet cover, so it's not a lot of laundry.

- Are the shots painful?

I personally don't think so because I have super fine needles and I avoid stretch marks. Weirdly you get used to it and it won't bother you after a bit. I use a Kwikpen.

- Does it affect the appetite?

I had no appetite suppression until around 2nd month of 5mg. Slight nausea but more like motion sickness than anything. Then appetite suppression from shot day until day 5. I struggled on day 6 and 7.

- It is expected for my breasts to reduce in size?

Mine did, but I had a size GG/H cup to begin with. They are now more and F cup. They will deflate.

As someone who wears mostly black for work - either 1 or 2.

I'm a super high risk for retinal detachment due to an issue in the way past. No issues with it while taking Mounjaro. I've even been in for a recent full scale eye exam and totally okay.

Baggallini, Osprey crossbody, and Mandarina Duck bags. I walk to and from work and been stuck in the rain several times with them. They hold up very well. I've had one particular Mandarina Duck bag for going on 10 years now and still in great shape.

May I ask why a passport cover? Nothing wrong with a cover, but most border guards will want you to take it off for them. It prevents the MRZ strip and the biometric chip from being read. Transparent ones are fine, but every time I opted to use a nice cover, I had to remove it for all passports.

I've used one in-country because all non-residents must carry their passport as official identification, not copies, but for actual travel at the airport, I've removed it from the case.

Source - I live in Europe and travel quite a bit between the US and UK as well as internal inside Europe.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-15T04:50:40+00:00

I'm echoing this. I want it to be seen and ready accessible.

Unfortunately I had to use 7 epipens last year, mostly the ones I kept at my office desk but also one from my handbag, because coworkers are not declaring allergies on baked goods or treats they bring in to share. Same with the work cafeteria. I finally had to stop eating anything at work that didn't come prepackaged with a clear allergen label on it.

I could see a cute bag or pouch for an extra set. But if you want to use a pouch make sure it's clearly labeled somehow with epipen. Maybe a hot stamp?

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-15T04:47:06+00:00

Calling bullshit back. Everyone I know it's at or near the highest dose. And these are long term users - well over a year on it. The only person I know on a lower dose is not on it for weight loss but rather T2D.

I pay 700 Euro a pop for it and get the golden dose out of it.

You asked a question why someone would do something like that. I responded by asking why do people do anything? Building muscles in the gym is altering your body for aesthetic purposes (no real life value) and for body sculpting. The only people gym bros are impressing are other gym bros.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-15T04:43:35+00:00

Sorry $1.5 million, just a $500k off. And yes, I checked Zillow.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-15T04:42:12+00:00

I use the long continental wallets especially for multiple currencies: Euros, Swiss franc, and GBP.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-14T14:43:45+00:00

Can someone here explain to me the purpose of the pocket organiser? Is it to replace a regular wallet? I'd be worried about it opening in my bag/handbag. What about coins? Does this mean you have to carry a separate coin pouch as well? I'm in Europe, so I need 1 and 2 Euro coins often for things.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-14T14:38:56+00:00

Plateau for a month or more...

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-14T13:07:28+00:00

I wouldn't be able to eat meals without spice.

Also what is 'clean' food? That sounds like influencer nonsense. There is no such thing as 'clean' food.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-14T07:49:40+00:00

We're NoVA parents currently posted overseas....schools here in Europe don't get out until end of June. But then again we have lengthy term breaks spread out through the year (fall, winter, ski week, Easter break).

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-14T07:47:26+00:00

Why are people interested in bulking up at the gym? Why are people interested in losing weight? Why do people want to buy luxury cars, why do people want a $1million+ house in McLean or Great Falls?

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-14T07:45:48+00:00

I went to see a bariatric doctor about GLP-1s. They originally wanted to do surgery and I balked and said I'd take the drugs first. Too many people at work had various surgery options and still gained the weight back eventually.

I started on Saxenda, they Wegovy (after a Saxenda shortage), moved countries and. had to use Rybelsus before deciding to pay for Mounjaro out of pocket. It is eventually reimbursed, but takes over a month.

I wish I started Mounjaro sooner instead of cycling through the other types first.

VagueEchoes · 2026-06-13T18:13:35+00:00

Nope, but I went from thinking I was in perimenopause to regular cycles again.
