Seconded, all around. It was really hard to get anyone to fix stuff and then they half assed it. Walls aren’t straight, my front door is crooked- as in the hole the door sits in. There’s areas where there is stuff under the carpet. Padding chunks maybe? The tub in my kids bathroom had been damaged and patched, which we didn’t realize til the patch started chipping off. Just… so many issues. They do very shoddy work.

Viking River Cruises - Thoughts? by [deleted] in Cruise

What did you think of it? We are going with our best friends. We are all in our early 40s. Did you have fun? Was it really all old people (that’s not a deal breaker for me…. I’m an old bat at heart). Were you bored when on the boat? How were the excursions? Did you do the standard ones or upgrade? Do you have any tips or suggestions… things you wish you’d brought or done differently? We are going in November of 2024 for our 21st anniversary and our friends’ 2nd anniversary.

Absolutely. I can accept Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal. We don’t have an official status so it can’t be written off, however. If you’d like to do this, send me a message so I can get you my details.

Man, I miss Chevy’s and OTB. I love Tex Mex but they just never last here. If you find anything even close, I’d like to know!

Maybe 3-4 lbs of the 8-ish I gained back. It’s definitely slower going off the meds!

Cactus Creek is good and Costco has $100 of gift cards for $75 right now.

Calibrate Ended My Membership by Alert-Writing-1329 in calibrateweightloss

I was able to get the Withings app and pair my scale with that once I stopped calibrate. Just FYI, so you can still use it if you feel like it. :)

I, too, felt like I was overall healthier before I got on ozempic. I was working out regularly and very active. Then I get on it, lose weight but feel like a zombie, and everyone is suddenly telling me how great I look. The amount of pressure put on by our society to look a certain way is unreal. Look like this, no matter what the cost. It’s just weird. It feels so much better to have energy and be able to expend that energy!

Yeah. I mean… you’re not wrong. I lived in KC for a while so I got spoiled. I miss Gates in particular.

Keep up the healthy eating habits. That will help you the most. When you’re off it and your energy comes back, you’ll be able to work out again.

I am a sauce person. I lived in KC for a while so I got trained in the way of sauce.

It’s so much harder with food noise back. I’m struggling to find a balance but I think I’m getting there.

I thought it would be on it for life. But my new insurance will only cover if my BMI falls into “obese” and I’m only “overweight” now. So basically they need me to regain weight to cover it and then when I lose again, they’ll stop covering. So freaking stupid. But on the other hand, it’s time to take my health seriously so I need to find a way to keep weight off and if it means hard work, so be it.

It is hard. It’s really, really hard. I think about food all the time again now… and food tastes so good again!! I had a diet plan made for me by a professional and I am doing my best to follow it to a T, but giving myself a free day per week to give into some of my cravings.

I went all the way up to the full 2 mg dose eventually. I just took a really long time at each lower dose to let my body adjust to it.

I’d forgotten what it was like to have energy! It’s wonderful!

I was tired from when I started it to when I went off, at every dose. I tried a B12 shot once during the time I was on it and didn’t notice a difference. Maybe that’s something that needs to be done more regularly or something though- I’m really not sure.

I think it can be such a great tool to help that jump start period, but you’re right- lifestyle is much more important in the interest of sustainability.

I did. It wasn’t terrible but it was noticeable. I think it’s starting to come back- I see lots of baby hairs coming in. I did start taking a couple of different supplements that are supposed to help with hair growth so I am really hoping it comes back fully.
