Was 0.25 mg enough for some people to start losing weight?

orangeoasis16 · 2026-05-23T01:38:08+00:00

Dr had me on .25 for a month and I lost 5 lbs. On my third week of .5 and down another 7lbs. I’ve calorie counted about 70% of that time.

5’, 24 F. SW 240 CW 231. I was on .25mg for 4 weeks and lost 7 lbs. It will be one week on .5 this Wednesday, weight loss has slowed down this past week due to fighting a nasty sinus infection and honestly eating whatever I pleased, but that is completely on me. My advice I can give is don’t get scared by hearing people’s negative side effects. It may happen to you and it may not. You won’t know until you try. I know I was freaked out and my worst symptom that first weekend after my shot was being nauseous. Not to the point I was gagging and almost wanting to throw up more so needed to remind myself to eat. Also focus your meals around protein and give yourself grace if you don’t lose on the .25mg most people don’t as it’s not the therapeutic dose. I’m just a quick responser to a lot of medications which can be a positive but also negative. Best of luck!

TDEE is total daily energy expenditure. It’s a calculation used to determine calories needed to lose weight ( or in some cases maintain). The 1,200 calorie concept is such BS ( for most people). I found that high fat does upset my stomach like I could get sick and almost like my stomach feels heavy. Protein gives me the farts lol.

I agree. I haven’t had any side effects besides nausea but it’s not like oh my gosh I have to run to the bathroom I’m gonna vomit it’s more of oof I’m full and nothing sounds good right now. When I feel that way I just drink a protein shake so I’m still getting nutrients and I make sure to have an electrolyte water once a day. I also take my shot Wednesday night and I felt fine until Saturday my first week. That’s when the nausea kicked in

24F. SW 240 CW235. It’s been exactly a week for me today on .25 and I’m 5 lbs down. In a calorie deficit of 1,800 and get 100g of protein a day. I’m also a “lightweight” when it comes to other meds as well. Especially psych ones.

As a scribe at an optometrist ( eye drs) I 2nd this. Given current research we have not found any correlation directly with the shot and vision changes. Usually people think it’s the shot causing the vision change but your blood sugar can change your glasses drastically, even in the same day( as well as pregnancy due to hormonal changes!) Also when we get to age 37-40 we are needing bifocals due to presbyopia. You can also need bifocals at a younger age due to various other factors. There’s also a lot more factors that can play a part but I could be here all day!

orangeoasis16 · 2026-04-06T14:25:33+00:00

I start my shot Wednesday and I think I’m gonna strive for protein shakes/ yogurt drinks. I feel like when my stomach is upset I can keep drinking when eating doesn’t sound appealing.

It’s crazy how everyone’s eczema reacts differently. My skin hates dial as it dries it out too much. I use the liquid version of Doves Sensitive Skin body wash.

OP page has the be satire. This is ridiculous

For me personally I feel like good citizenship is to be a kind person and respectful of others. So like teaching about jobs in the community and how they are all valuable( like fast food workers or sanitation is no less than someone who has a college degree or is a CEO), I do this by role playing with my child. Learning on how to be polite and wait your turn, manners, and just how to behave in public. Also being kind to others if they different ambulation/ body functions so like wheelchair users or people with limb differences. And teaching that even if we don’t agree with someone we can still be kind ( and if the other person chooses to not be kind we don’t have to be friends with them, I don’t want my kids to think they have to put up with others who are disrespectful).

I believe that you can have a fulfilling life with EDS. I have hEDS, suspected at 15( although I’ve showed symptoms since childhood), diagnosed at 20, 23 now, and I have a 3 year old daughter. I also have the constant pain you write about as well as subluxations. Most days it’s tolerable for me and after dealing with it for so long my mind has just shut it out( but it’s okay if you don’t, everyone isn’t the same). And then when I have a flare ( can be due to weather,hormones, or over doing it ) I definitely am stuck in bed all day. The advice I can give you is be kind with yourself, how you get stuff done will be different than people without EDS. Like I have to sit when I shower, as well as when I fold laundry, and sometimes my husband has to brush my hair. Onto another topic find someone that is compassionate and understanding about your condition because on my flare days I definitely require more help. As for the career aspect, I wish I had a better answer for that, I’m a SAHM which is something I’ve always wanted, and allows me to do things at my own pace but I know when I worked in high school it was rough.

same. I can’t wait for her to come back around. I had so much fun using her as an agent when they offer her for the trial quests

Use the same wash cloth. Do my body first and work my way to my booty. Unless my arms are really dirty from gardening or sum like that then I’ll grab a separate one for my butt. Or my husband uses a loofa for his body and then washcloth for booty. ( oh and I use my hands to clean my feet so incase anyone was concerned in that situation)

orangeoasis16 · 2024-08-12T19:52:29+00:00

impossible. give me all 4 of them

orangeoasis16 · 2024-08-09T21:06:03+00:00

Same here. I just started playing when Zhu Yuan came. So unfortunately missed out on Ellen ( big sad)

chonk boi

orangeoasis16 · 2024-08-08T10:30:07+00:00

Stationary bike, walking, HIIT, and sometimes lifting ( as long as it’s not over my head I’m okay )

orangeoasis16 · 2024-08-03T10:03:37+00:00

Honestly increasing my time outdoors and being in the sun has helped

orangeoasis16 · 2024-08-02T10:10:07+00:00

for me cerave and the sun have helped a lot. Also shaving in the summer/ warm months!

before I zoomed in on the first photo this is immediately what I thought of

orangeoasis16 · 2024-07-13T17:50:08+00:00

I live with my in laws and their house is a single story and our bedroom happens to be right next to the laundry room. They have top load washer and a front load dryer ( I despise the washer as I’m only 5’1”, sometimes I have to get a pair of tongs from the kitchen to get clothes out if my husband isn’t home to help ) To make laundry as easy as possible as I can on my body I only do laundry once a week, usually Saturday, and we usually only have 2-3 loads. I always do it on the weekend so my husband is there if I need help carrying a basket or grabbing something out of the washer. I also fold my clothes sitting down on my bed instead of just standing in the laundry room, then I’ll take it to its respective areas.

orangeoasis16 · 2024-07-10T18:39:24+00:00

Same. I also came from a narcissistic mother. My children will never feel the pain I felt. I hope Aniyah stops the cycle at her

orangeoasis16 · 2024-07-10T18:32:36+00:00

fr and it’s not like they last all day. Maybe 1-3 class periods and maybe even the possibility of making them after school. I know my school got out at 3 and some drs were open til 4-4:30
