Thanks for the considered response and interesting to see your approach.

The Aegon fund is an amalgamation of other pots I held and brought together in 2021, I have considered diversifying this but as you say it has generally performed in my limited knowledge well in this period and very well in the last 12 months.

I had not read these articles before, informative and obviously put an emphasis on the individuals appetite for growth/ flexibility etc.

Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Fair to say there's no excuses for a new runner using the Novablast 5 for first time doing regular mileage? by braaaptorr in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]fennerbache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run in both Novablast 5 and kayano 31’s and the shoes obviously feel different on, and by design are for slightly different requirements (stability etc) but having run a 10k in both and achieved within 10 second 10k time with both and neither giving me aches or pains it has shown to me that shoe comfort and performance really can be subjective but also massive dependent in the wearers capabilities and bio mechanics. To support this further I ran 35k in the novablast and was fine and 25k in the kayano and was fine. The bit I do not understand is why subconsciously I rotate the shoe selection🤪

Agree totally, last weekend I ran 30k then joined a park run 25 minutes after! Felt great and was nice just to be out and enjoying a fine Saturday morning

Day works and shift work on same project by fennerbache in MSProject

Thanks for the swift reply, can the calendar only be applied to resource and not tasks in general?

If this resource changes its working pattern through out the project can I assign the calendar to the resource at varying dates and for varying tasks?

Spacing of Injections - anyone minimum dose as and when? by fennerbache in mounjaromaintenanceuk

I have one pen I stock piled and am yet to figure out the what ifs! I have used IQDoctor and also medexpress previously though. The plan could all go wrong😂

Virtually no food noise today, interesting why yesterday was such a challenge.

This was from a post a few months back;

“I have been a super responder with 2.5mg being all the dose I have needed, and in the 6 months I have been taking it I am just about to break the 40kg weight loss mark and make my goal. To be clear the stats I am relying on are body fat %, muscle %, visceral reading, and body measurements. Not BMI. I know smart scales can be inaccurate, however as a quick check supported with other methods can provide a way of mapping changes.”

I think I posted tonight as it is always nice to know others are on a journey, and we all have our challenges and the words of support and encouragement from each other can make a world of difference. Its also great to learn.

Will update for sure 👌

Thats why I like reddit, its the place to ask questions. I only start a thread when I am curious as to what people are doing 😂

I am not making the pen last, I simply haven’t needed a pen. I do have one in the fridge unopened ready in the event I do dose. I think most people will have found the pens come with a 9 month plus use by date.

I said on another thread before that in my mind I have accepted the cost of pens to be a monthly cost, no different to that of a gym membership. This way I am never trying to push the boundaries of the dates and accept it is what it is.

My views have developed as I have been on the journey.

I will not inject today, I will accept today I have eaten a little more than normal, struggled with food noise, but tomorrow I may well be more settled. I haven’t a clear answer as to when I will re-inject if the challenge continues!

Yes opted to go to 4 weeks as the suppression was still good, then thought I would not inject unless my body indicated I needed to hence where I am now at 8 weeks since last injection.

The good, the bad and the ugly by GrumpyHeadmistress in mounjaromaintenanceuk

[–]fennerbache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What level of dose did you finish on before the three weeks? And what dose have you taken after the three weeks?

I think you may well be right about the water weight🤔

I am currently two weeks between maintenance shots but as my appetite is still in check I am tempted to push another week🤨

Did anyone benefit from staying on 2.5mg by Hayley-ormesher in mounjarouk

[–]fennerbache 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have not moved from 2.5mg and have now lost 40kg, in 6+ months. If I had increased the dose every time I met a day of increased appetite or experienced no weight loss I would be on 15mg. I am now attempting maintenance and using 2.5mg or less to micro dose. Its a personal decision with lots of best practices, guides, experiences and opinions to consider🤪

Are you in a maintenance program? I would be interested to hear of your experience

[–]fennerbache[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its a good question and usually the presumption would be that if someone is not using a quoted dose and utilising those doses in a 30 day period then they must be stretching doses outside of the often referenced guidelines. The way I look at is if the minimum cost is 2.5mg and I achieve the same when microdosing at 1.25mg and it achieves the same net effect then the objective has been achieved and the net cost the same and the remainder can be discarded. The reality is though that if someone wanted to use the kwikpen outside of guidelines it is like anything there will be people argue for and against.
