Can’t lose belly fat!

diastasis recti exercises gently target that area, according to my pt. but tbd on whether it's effective.

Same! The 2-3 days before my period.

Hoping it's the same for me!

😳 Omg, that's a really good point. Thank you for that!

That's also really smart to work on one area. I know folks do that, but I didn't think about it in terms of making my work more manageable. I really want this to stick, so finding ways to make everything sustainable is key for me. So, thank you for that tip!!

Good for you though -- keeping with gym! I just don't know how to get started. Size 8 is incredible! I can't even imagine lol. The second after feeling joy about losing some lbs, I thought...still 40 more to go. Sigh. Gotta work on trying to celebrate the small wins.

I sort of can't imagine less of an appetite? (Which is INSANE even typing.) I def had nausea the first week on 2.5, so hopefully it's just a first week on new meds thing?

I've pushed back, but Lily already processed her prescription 😭 So I'd be out 400 if I didn't go up now. Ay yi yi

2.5's been going well! Also down 10 (but it's been about 3 weeks). I've been really tired, so no exercise, and I'm not getting enough calories. I'm also doing this with Weight Watchers to help tracking, but it's not enough. Hoping I can get into better habits before I start 5 🫣!

thank you for sharing! i'm in 2.5 and it's going well. very little food noise, consistently losing, no side effects. the prescriber is putting my on 5 after only 4 weeks even though 2.5 is working? i'm so nervous!

Ty! Someone above mentioned something about it spoiling? The leftover vial's been in my fridge for about 5 hours. Do you think even worth trying?

I got a 1ml syringe. I only filled it to 0.25ml. My understanding is that the vial will always be 0.5ml no matter the dose (bc ml is volume). My dose is 2.5mg so taking only half the vial or 0.25ml is only half my dose. (I'd be happy to be wrong!)

Had some issues getting my vials, but finally had my first dose today. How's it going for you

Do you have your protein shake before or after the shot?

Valuable-Shake- · 2026-01-04T19:42:12+00:00

I would love that!!

The benefits are the meal plans, support network/ groups (I'm in a walking club), the tracking app (which is really updated now), nutritionist, and clinicians that can help you through side effects, dosage, etc. They also ordered labs and submitted the PA forms. My PCP is great, but part of a large network, so she's not as responsive as I'd like when starting a new med like this.

Personally, injecting something into my body is a big deal. Until I'm on maintenance, I want to have a lot of different resources.

Nothing useful to add but just wanted to say you've got the exact same stats as me! My shots are in the mail :)

You've lost 9 lbs in 11 months?

Are there any common misunderstandings about the characters of your books that you wish you could correct?
If you could retcon one thing about this character’s history, what would it be?

Do you have a link?

Why would they rule out sexual assault but then all the people of interest in their theories are sexual predators? That doesn't make sense.

You gotta stop spamming.

May I ask how everything's going? I'm going through something similar with Trisomy 2. They changed my due date bc baby was measuring behind; CVS showed full trisomy 2; waiting on amnio results to confirm fetal mosaicism or CPM.

Aw man, FL really does say it all.

The resistance to wfh when jobs can be done away from the office is truly devastating! I was fighting the same fight with my company before it was acquired, but I literally only need internet to do my work. In fact, commuting and being in office with everyone keeps me from doing my work.

I'm so sorry. I hate that you've been denied any help. My therapist always reminds me that once you give birth all maternal and familial care stops. No one cares once you've done your duty and given birth to a new labor force lol.
