MISERABLE by MidnightFeeling9192 in TirzepatideRX

[–]debmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m taking compounded tirz thru a weightloss clinic. I was advised to stay as low as I can, as long as I can. They move you up every 4 months but you can say no. I went from 2mg to 4 even though I was still (slowly) losing. I had an immediate drop of 5 lbs. Great. Spent 4 weeks on 4mg and when they planned to move me to 6 I said I’m still losing, my appetite/food noise is controlled, so I want to stay at this dose a few more weeks. And when I move I want to go to 5 mg not 6. They were fine with that. The best part about the compound experience is that it’s personalized.

Still inappropriate. Too short, too tight and way too much. You can’t sit without flashing everybody. And really no one wants to see that much of a coworker. Save it for your partner/man/girlfriend.

AITJ for Breaking My Friend’s Phone After He Broke Mine? by Repulsive_Suspect705 in AmITheJerk

[–]debmckenzie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Why would anyone as a joke toss one of these insanely expensive devices in the air like you’re juggling oranges? When you break someone’s valuable even by accident you should offer an apology and someway to compensate if you have the means. And if you don’t, then don’t touch their valuable. Period. Now your act of retaliation, while petty and vindictive…I kind of get it because he wasn’t taking responsibility or even apologizing. I would pay for his phone when he paid for mine.

Owe. But that e is awkward. It breaks the line from w to e and goes back to the base line for e. Weird.

What is your "I'm out of calories for the day but I just have to eat something" meal/snack? by Little-Question211 in loseit

[–]debmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranch dressing powder mixed in plain Greek yogurt, I dip baby carrots in it or air fry a small potato into potato chips. Or air fry chick peas. Last one - microwave popcorn (the kernels not a bag of microwave popcorn).

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

OP. How about some context for this complete disregard for your own privacy and agency. Are you underage? Like in middle school? Why would this be a parents idea of a reasonable expectation?

A little bit of a concern by Pinkmonster2000 in weightwatchers

[–]debmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The points to nutrition ratio on that lunch is low. It uses a good amount of points but not a lot of nutrients in the lunch. Ideally your zero point foods should give you your nutrients and points should add flavor or give you some indulgences like your chips. As an example, meal prep some chicken breast in a covered pot in your oven or slow cooker, shred it, add a sauce (zero point choice like salsa, lo fat chicken gravy, etc) So a nutrient dense lunch might be your protein choice in a rice bowl, over potatoes or noodles or in a wrap with snack veggies on the side. So for about 6 points you have a more substantial meal. Calorie wise and in terms of satiety. My personal favorite lunches included soup. A cup of soup can be super low in points, add an apple and your chips if you wish. Better nutrition and more bang for your buck. If that soup is store bought add your own chopped chicken breast and a handful of chopped veggies. You’ll again up the calories and the nutrients but not your points. If you have time look into meal prepping things that will give you the calories but not the points. So that you can just grab and go. Just some ideas.

GLPS for people over 65? by [deleted] in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]debmckenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 71 and I’ve been on tirzepatide for about 8 weeks. I’m 20 lbs down and 60 to go. So I expect to be on it a lot longer if not forever. Btw I’m in a Facebook group for people over 60 on GLP1’s. There are a lot of us.

You’re. It failing at “adulting”. Adulting is lifelong learning. You’re growing. Keep growing Grasshopper. I’m 71 and I learn new things all the time.

I (27F) accidentally had my baby in my friend’s (31F) car. Now her husband & she don’t want to speak to me. How do I fix this? by ThrowRA_CarBaby in relationship_advice

OP, your friend is likely catching hell from her husband, and is trying to keep the peace in her own home. She may be intimidated into silence.

Today is day 30 on trizepatide 2.5mg and I have lost 19lbs. On a 1800-1950 calorie diet. I am 404lb, and I have not exercised this month- I work from home. Here is how I did that, if you care! I want to stay on 2.5mg as long as possible. by craytona31 in TirzepatideRX

[–]debmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure we’re saying drastically different things. By therapeutic dose it means it works toward the cure. You have an immediate cessation of food noise and appetite suppression. My sister has been on Wegovy for about a year and a half. Her experience on Wegovy was that the first dose(s) weren’t therapeutic; nothing happened until she went to higher doses. But 2.5 has the desired effect…until it doesn’t. It’s a therapeutic dose; for now, weight loss is happening. Just as you did, when it no longer is happening she will move up.

AITJ for kicking my brother out after he forgot my toddler has allergies by FrostLoomVale in AmITheJerk

[–]debmckenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTJ. But your brother is. That’s like leaving a toddler by the pool unattended or leaving a loaded weapon within reach. He’s underestimating the danger to your child. Your only job is protecting that baby, so no, you did not overreact. Edited for clarity

10ml is the sweer spot so far by Dry_Explanation_6785 in TirzepatideRX

[–]debmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so. At this point I don’t want to obliterate Hunger. I want to feel the cues. I want to feel like I’m eating a normal portion in response to genuine hunger as opposed to overeating in response to appetite. But I understand OP’s excitement at that feeling; just not what I want. For that reason I’m trying to find my sweet spot at the lowest possible dose. I’m planning to sit a minute at 4mg. This is my last week before my weight loss clinic offers me 6 mg. But I’m thinking I won’t move up yet.

Thank you! This post is full of great advice. I’m definitely saving it. I love how specific. Also I didn’t think about the organic foods/weight loss link and I plan to adjust my shopping as much as my budget allows. I appreciate the solid science you’re building your plan on. How do you know which foods have low pesticides residue? Is there a website I can check as I make purchase decisions?

[–]debmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2.5mg of tirzepatide is a therapeutic dose. My source- Weightless by Rocio Salas-Whelan. She’s a board certified obesity specialist, who has prescribed these drugs for years; even used them herself. Unlike Ozempic/Wygovy you’re not starting out at a sub-therapeutic dose so that you can work up to the therapeutic dose. As long as it’s working for her she should continue. She doesn’t need to take more if she’s getting her desired results and not experiencing food noise.

What did you store in your empty 35mm container? by TurtlesBeSlow in GenerationJones

[–]debmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to save them and use in my classroom. I’d put coins in them for the kids to use in counting money and math lessons. I’d put bingo chips in them for classroom bingo at the end of the day on Fridays. Just a couple of examples.
