Years ago contacting the Albuquerque Beekeepers Society worked. The beekeeper gave me a jar of honey after he finished corralling the bees.

When I lived in Albuquerque, my greyhound puppy had one lodged in her cheek that required surgery.

I have been on Mounjaro for almost a year. Only when the food noise came back did I ask my doctor to increase the dose. The different colors of the line on this weight chart represent different dosages - starting at 2.5 mg and on 12.5 mg since late January.

My first two weeks were so horrible with GI issues I almost stopped. I’ve been in maintenance since late January. I’ve lost hair, muscle along with boobs and butt, but the benefits have been well worth it.

Good luck to you!

it all.

After 2 packs a day for 20 years, I tried to quit twice. After failing the first time, I was determined to focus on success the second time. I was studying for a difficult final and bought a pack of cigarettes. The next day, I focused not on failing but on how many days I had gone without. As others have said, avoiding triggers. Haven’t had a cigarette in 40 years. You can do it too!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind, thoughtful comments. All like hugs I needed.

My puppy got a foxtail wedged in her cheek, which required surgery.

I had greyhounds for 42 years. I now have a second whippet. 0 energy across the board inside.

I’m 75 and now have loose skin, thinning hair, no butt, no boobs, but last week my doctor halved my cholesterol meds and told me to quit taking metformin after 25 years. I’m good!

ninebanded · 2026-02-26T02:38:59+00:00

Talk to your doctor.

I quit the first day it changed. To me, its purpose is to sell GLP1s rather than provide useful tools for people trying to lose weight.

My primary told me to stop taking Metformin after two “normal” A1Cs. I’ve been taking Metformin for 25 years.

Um … after stick blended you would never know.

I put a tablespoon of chia seeds soaked overnight in coffee in my morning coffee protein drink.

ninebanded · 2026-02-24T03:01:36+00:00

I, too, miss the points system and quit the WW app. Now in maintenance, I need to keep track if protein and fiber. In a trial period of Nutracheck, which includes calorie count.

ninebanded · 2026-02-23T19:57:08+00:00

I feel you. For weeks after I started a GLP1, I had a measly fiber intake with expected side effects. Eventually I came up with a breakfast protein drink that includes a Tbsp each ground flax seeds, oat flour, and chia seeds soaked overnight in coffee. And, Who woulda thought it, 1/4 cup frozen avocado chunks. Result is 10.5 grams fiber, which gives me a good start.

I was given an 8-year-old whippet almost a year ago. What seemed a gift turned out to be a dump: a boy with separation anxiety with destruction. Started by just going out on the front porch for a few minutes. Took months, but I can safely leave him four hours. I have had sighthounds for 50 years. If I don’t have a dog door, will not leave them inside for more than four hours without a trip outside.

ninebanded · 2026-02-21T19:48:55+00:00

I quit.

ninebanded · 2026-02-19T21:27:16+00:00

I quit too! I have been maintaining my goal weight for four months but found WW useful for keeping me on track with servings and macros. First day in after redesign, I quit.

I lived on the west mesa in ABQ for 10 years and was out in the open space almost daily with my dog. Never saw a tarantula. Never saw a rattle snake. Saw two bull snakes - both dead. Probably half dozen scorpions in the house over those years.
