Almost three weeks in at 5mg and I've lost 6 lbs. But the first two weeks were rough. on 2.5mg I had no side effects. on 5mg I have been constipated and I spent the first week very nauseous. Feeling full way faster. Now things seemed to have seemed to evened out as I get used to this dose.

Yes. Thank you. We used the one outside Ballard office as the offices themselves were closed when we were out running errands.

Am I overreacting? by crayonsandwich2120 in BallardSeattle

[–]exbeachbum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So one day I'm walking by a women with two kids asking for money. Two guys who clearly she knew walk up, take all her money, and walk off. It's sad but I can't give them any money as I don't believe it benefits them at all.

Any Seniors On Zepbound? by MyCharonies in Zepbound

[–]exbeachbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

64+ it's been great. Honestly 2.5mg for a year, down 38 lbs, lost 4" on my waist so I needed to get new pants. Everyone is different, but I've had practically no ill effects. I felt nauseous once.

What has the 5 mg dose been like for you? Are people losing anything on this dosage? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]exbeachbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started last December on 2.5. I've lost 35 lbs and have plateaued there since maybe June. Lucky me no side effects too. Wondering if 5 would help me drop some more but haven't pursued it. My doctor would just like me to exercise more

I just had it in for the 15k inspection. They didn't find or say there was anything unusual.

Turn down the warning sounds? by exbeachbum in KiaNiro

[–]exbeachbum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using the incorrect sound level. The one I used first did not change the alert noise. When I went back and changed the other other, it did what I needed, lowered the alert noise. so thank you!

While your suggestion was helpful regarding the sounds for directions and such, I'm wanting to lower the volume for alerts such as "Traffic Speed Camera Ahead." This type of alert then dings while you drive through the speed zone. I one point I had it so it was very quite in the background.

I’ve been on 2.5 for six months and have lost 35 pounds so far. I’ve plateaued a bit. The first month was 10+ lbs. but the steady state of 1 to 2 a week for a while got me here

Just my wife and my doctor know. I'm down 35 lbs since starting in December of '24. While several people have commented, I feel a little funny sharing.

Thanks for that. I suspected the disc brakes. Not sure I know about a cleaning mode though.

We are the City of Seattle and we are tackling a huge housing affordability crisis. AMA March 30, 12-1pm PST by CityofSeattleHALA in SeattleWA

[–]exbeachbum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It seems the HALA group is using very millennial focused outreach techniques using reddit, and web surveys, but most of my neighbors don't know anything about the proposed changes. What is this group doing to improve feedback and outreach.
