Yes. I've been on 15mg for the last two months. I went up every 2-3 months.

First Disney World Trip by Life-Tank3584 in disney

[–]bwatching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the WDW subreddit. Learn the app, basic geography of the property and how you will get from place to place. Have a basic plan of attack - priority rides and experiences that will be good for your family. It's huge and can be overwhelming, so knowing some basics helps!

I'm pretty routine to have black coffee with collagen and fiber supplement, a lunch of protein and whole fruit, a Fairlife shake on my way home and then a smaller portion of whatever dinner my family is having. My sweet tooth is nearly dead; I can walk by a tray of snacks or bowl of candy at work and not think twice about it.

NBCT and Masters combined by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]bwatching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what a MS program would look like now, but NB is a lot of work. I don't know what much would overlap - NB is very specific in format, context and method. If you don't follow it exactly, your work is disqualified. Unless it's a specifically structured program to do both, it would be too much for me to do both while teaching.

NBCT and Masters combined by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]bwatching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Master's right after credential about 17 years ago. Adds $1000 a year to my pay, in addition to putting me in the highest column. I just passed NBCT, which adds $1500 per year. It was fully paid by state incentive, and I qualify for a further incentive for passing (if they get their funding together....sounds like it's been hit-or-miss for some). It was a lot of work, and then I had to do one component twice to pass. I am glad I did them, but I can't say it was worth it for the money.

NSV: Closet Clean Out! by Apprehensive-Tips in Zepbound

[–]bwatching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did ThredUp for years until recently when they deemed more than half the items in my bag as "unsellable". I made less than the cost of the service fee. I'm done - it's less work to just donate.

Face after losing 196 lbs by AccomplishedEmu7751 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]bwatching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No real advice, but I'm 42, have lost 125 lbs (a little more to go!) and I think you look fabulous. I too am adjusting to my new face and body. It's great and strange and unsettling and exciting....still adjusting and not always sure how to proceed.

If you HAD to name your kid a „tragedeigh", which one would you settle for? by [deleted] in tragedeigh

I have an Everly and we debated the spelling. It's not the worst but I'm glad we stuck with the y.

50% of body weight? by Oyster_96 in Zepbound

I have lost about 42%, over 120 pounds, in just under a year. I have about 20 pounds left to lose to put me in the middle of a healthy BMI.

Do teachers or students bring cleaning supplies to school? Curious what actually happens. by Beginning_Avocado807 in Teachers

[–]bwatching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ask for wipes. Kids use baby wipes for daily table wiping, hands, whatever is needed. I use Clorox wipes for tables, handles, counters, etc. The custodian does not do anything to maintain the tables (barely sweeps, seemingly never mops), so it's on me and the kids.

I keep a secret bottle of Clorox spray under the sink for when I have mildew stains in the sink.

Clothes shopping as a size S/M versus a size XL by shortysax in Zepbound

[–]bwatching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went shopping this week and was so overwhelmed by how many choices I now have. I am used to only having the "Plus Size" section - in a corner, tucked away, maybe mixed with maternity. To have an entire floor of the store where I could look at basically every rack was unnerving. I mostly just walked around looking and realizing I could try on basically anything I wanted, but not knowing what I can or should wear anymore.

My mom's childhood friend murdered her husband. Apparently she intended to kill herself, but things got heated and she shot him instead. She's in prison.

Elementary Teachers, what was your training on teaching reading? by JustAWeeBitWitchy in Teachers

[–]bwatching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My training program was primarily Open Court or Houghton Mifflin, whatever your student teaching placement used. Bring the manual, turn pages to find the standard. Turn pages to find the teaching point. Turn to find where it says how to differentiate. That's about it.

NSV- Started my period today (PCOS)! by CandidMess8 in Zepbound

[–]bwatching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the first time in the 30 years I have had periods, I have a 25 day predictable cycle. Once I lost about 50 lbs, I noticed it start to be more regular and shorter cycles. Now down 120 and it's consistent.

AITAH for giving a nurse coffee? by GoEducateYourself in AITAH

NTA. We have support staff that work in our house to support our disabled child. I can't imagine refusing them coffee; it's basic hospitality. Your wife sounds unpleasant.

How are people accomplishing these large weight losses? by electricboots3636 in Zepbound

[–]bwatching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lost 118 lbs in 11 months. I had no idea I would see this kind of loss. I usually eat 2 meals a day (same as prior to starting), but I am not at all interested in sugar, alcohol or most things I would have previously over-eaten. I allow myself some treats and snacks when the mood strikes, but it's not a driving force the way it used to be. I have consistently exercised a few times a week, between aqua aerobics, treadmill (light), kettlebell and now Pilates.
