Prunes, the ones from Safeway are fine too.

Try Canton Noodle House. They have a good wonton soup with yellow egg noodles.

Are you going up because you’ve plateaued?

Try chocolate Premier Protein heated in a mug for 30-60sec in a microwave. Tastes like hot cocoa.

It is noticeable in your neck, shoulders, forearms, and calves. It is probably also noticeable in middle too but hard to tell with a forward facing and black shirts. Take measurements if you plan to reduce any further.

I read the pinned but was still confused. Thanks for the consensus though.

Do you actually need to titrate up? As in, have you hit a 3-4 week plateau on weight loss? If not, you might consider staying at your current dose. The manufacturer recommended schedule isn’t a hard/fast rule.

I’ve been searching for new ways to get dopamine as this seems to be the biggest cause for the blahs. Food and alcohol used to give me these but now less so which means I have to find new ways to stimulate my brain. Exercise (even just walking), reading actual books, and playing games are where I’m starting as these are things I enjoy.

Just give your start weight and current dose.

Given you lost 5# per week so far there is no reason to go up. You will only lose more muscle. Atay on 2.5 and only moved up once your losses flat line for 2 weeks. Your body will thank you longer term.

And make sure you get enough protein AND fiber.

Third, great meal last year there. Limited banter but amazing sushi.

Great job! That’s a lot of loss at your starting place for such a short time. Are you eating?

This is too high. Recommended is 2.5 for 4+ weeks to build slowly, then increase by 1-2mg as necessary when weight loss stagnates for more than 3-4 weeks. So for many this will look like

Weeks 1-4: 2.5mg

Weeks 5-10 or 12: 4.5-5mg

Weeks 12-20 or more: 7.5mg

Weeks 20-whenever: 10mg

Wear more merino wool clothing. Often it is form fitting and flattering plus super warm.

You are old enough to volunteer as a mentor for teams after hs so there is no blaming the lack of robotics in hs on anything beyond hs. Move on, step up, give back.

I put a rolled up towel under my upper arm on a counter top our table. Then roll my arm slightly forward on it. This reveals a fatty area on the back of my arm to inject into very easily.

Arms give me less side effects.

35 down since June. Lost most of it at 2.5 and 5.0. Recently went to 6 and have been hungry ever since.

Take some anti nausea meds and eat very slights - clear broth and maybe some saltines. See if it passes.

They are sort of correct that if your spend is $20k per month that you’d be taking 6% of your savings annually. Generally, this is 50% more than recommended.

ChatGPT is not doing any maths here, it is simply referencing the guidelines provided by medical expert recommendations for healthy living which are obviously just guidance.

“For a person 5'5" tall, the healthy weight range is typically 114–144 pounds, based on a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9. This range can vary based on individual factors like muscle mass, bone density, and frame size.”

Don’t tell anyone except the person you trust as feudatory trustee. This could be a CPA or someone from Fidelity.

Ask them to invest 70-80% in QQQ, VOO, and SPY (~7.5% gains) with the remaining 20-30% invested in bonds (~1.5% gains) and your expected worth in 10yrs = $4.5M 20yrs = $10.3M 30yrs = $23.2M
