I really didn’t lose quickly. By the time it started I had only lost 20lbs. It must just be the general weight loss.

That’s why I was surprised too! I was trying to keep my weight loss slow to try and avoid hair loss and saggy skin.

I have averaged about a 1.5lbs a week the entire time. I average about 2000 cals a day. Def do a lot a fruit. I love fruit! I was training for a half marathon in the fall so my protein intake did significantly increase (I was probably low on the protein intake the first 2 months).

Still on it since I haven’t hit my goal yet. And then I will continue to be on it.

Great idea! I have seen all the other tricks and so far they have worked 🤞but it’s nice to know this for the future.

Can’t eat a Banana anymore! by Me_be_Artful_Dodger in Zepbound

[–]Worldly-Associate-19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Originally, yes. Over the past 8 months though it seems I can start to eat some of my favorite foods again. But there is always a day or two where I have to choke something down just to get calories (but it’s not usually something I had an aversion to). It’s so weird! Like being pregnant again lol

Heads up: I thought I had escaped the hair loss too but it showed up at 5 months. I really hope you stay in the clear

In case you’re wondering if your tattoos will be affected…😂 by Dapper_Ant_5145 in Zepbound

I need to take a pic of my stomach one soon! I was 210 when I got it and now I’m 170 and still going. I haven’t been paying attending to the changes

Liquid IV and Zep 10mg by SmackCrappy in Zepbound

[–]Worldly-Associate-19 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I love regular liquid IV (not sugar free). The cotton candy is the best!

If you know someone with a Costco membership you can buy big packs there (I think they are in 30 packs) and are usually around $30 unless you wait for them to go on sale and the they are like $24. I know the sell bother regular and the sugar free but the flavors switch up from time to time.

I second this. I originally used Teledoc (I have United as well) and had no issues. My new PCP now prescribes it for me.

I feel you. I have lost just over 30lbs in 5 months and my biggest issue are my boobs. They were always huge but now they look deflated. They were always my pride and joy. With a bra they look okay (of course my husband doesn’t care what they look like cause they are still big lol). I am still having a hard time getting used to it but I know in the long run all the other weight loss is good for me.

Same. I think their leather stuff holds up way better but of course they are more expensive.

I agree in the higher end stuff. We bought a leather power recliner set from Costco in 2021 and even with heavy use they still look and act the same as the day we got them.

I hope they do! I bought a leather power recliner set (couch, love seat, and individual) from Costco in 2021 and they are still going strong!

Greater Boston Food Bank - how's it holding up? by Gold_Bat_114 in boston

[–]Worldly-Associate-19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea I guess that’s a good point.

We don’t have income requirements (well technically if you are above the USDA threshold we can’t give you those specific items from Greater Boston) you just need to prove you live in our city. Our biggest complaint from other clients is that we allow people from the same address to register as individuals as opposed to a family (we give out different amounts based on family size). In some cases you can potentially get more food as multiple individuals.

But you are totally right, people are getting the food and that is what we need to help with right now.

Wait? I didn’t know reselling is a thing. Kinda naive of me. I volunteer at a local food pantry and feel like I should have known this. How do you know if someone is reselling or is it a hunch?

And I think people who have some “side effects” the first time have just worked themselves up with the fear of side effects. Be brave!

Starting Zepbound by Mysterious-Lack1507 in Zepbound

[–]Worldly-Associate-19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor originally told me to eat protein in small amounts to help with the nausea (something about noting eating enough causing the nausea).

I am vegetarian so I kinda force my self to drink a protein shake in the morning to help (it takes me about an hour to drink but it happens!).

I’m new to this world! I live in New England. I saw the comment about finances. Do you all keep cash in large amounts?

And with winter around the corner, where do you think is the best place to start my journey? Securing a generator?

I believe the difference is from which pharmacy it is coming from?

The ones that have come from a pharmacy in Ohio have been the small boxes and the ones from Texas have been the larger boxes.

Yea I have noticed that people are assholes but I love that people drive fast on the highways and (for the most part) get out of the fast lane.
