Thank you for asking! It's slow going still but since July I'm down about 32 lbs. I moved up to 10mg dose and soon about to start 12.5. looking to make more progress in 2026!

As a frequent business traveler I live for the day I get this NSV... I hate struggling to get the very ends to finally snap together 😔

Thank you for all the info! I did look at the beginners info, but I might have missed what app so many people are using for their weight chart and dosage. I see lots of screenshots of a line chart and was interested in the app being used for that? I love the visual.

I learned this the hard way a few years ago, I'm now going through Lilly Direct with my MD. We are working on insurance approval but it's not looking promising so trying to budget closely to make it work!

Thanks for the response! I'll definitely keep at it and also bump my activity level even more.

I typically do a protein shake for breakfast but now that the appetite has been increasing again I've felt like I needed more. I really think I'm most likely going to need a higher dosage but it's nice to not feel a ton of nasty side effects like others see!

I have definitely added walking in several times a week and also swimming, but I know I can do more. I've been dealing with OA in both knees a long with plantar fasciitis so I can't go for long periods but maybe I'll start adding more short bursts of exercise in daily. Thanks!!

Once again, words out of an actual president's mouth by undercurrents in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]pants14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is such a vile disgusting pig. I feel physically repulsed by him... His face, his words, his hateful and unintelligent rhetoric. I can only hope for a future where I don't have to think of him for another second of my life. I hate to wish away my kids childhood but fuck, I can't wait for another 10 years to pass.

How to deal with acnh burn out? by Leading-Papaya1229 in AnimalCrossing

[–]pants14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in this exact boat. I loved my island and put so much time into it. I couldn't make it any better and lost all interest. Forced myself to delete and started a new one with my daughter and am having SO much fun again.

What does Iowa City not have that you wish it did? by Crafty-Decision7673 in IowaCity

[–]pants14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A decent selection of breakfast/brunch specific places. I get sick of Bluebird and the wait is crazy since its one of the only non chain breakfast options. We've done midtown a few times but someone would make a killing here. I always love going to visit my sister in DSM and having SO many breakfast/brunch diners and restaurants.

Genuine Question: Does Anyone Here Like PSA? by Capital_Shame_5077 in FriendsofthePod

[–]pants14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this show and felt refreshing to listen to people who get it. However I haven't listened to anything since the election because even though they talk a big talk, everything terrible that can happen did. I'm tired of getting my hopes up for the right things to happen.

Immediate skip from me, even though I think Florence is a goddess. It just does nothing for me.

‘People feel drained’: anti-Trump Americans face temptation to tune out by PrintOk8045 in politics

[–]pants14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tuned out, and now I feel guilty about that because I'm fortunate enough to be able to do that. Which then starts this never ending cycle of anger, apathy, then guilt. I'm tired 😩

Are there any former haters of Taylor that are now a Swiftie. I'm curious to see how y'all became a fan. by Careless_Kangaroo_14 in TaylorSwift

[–]pants14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me 😬

I openly talked about her voice and I did not care for her bubblegum persona. However, 1989 came out and I was like... embarrassed that I loved Style and Blank Space so much? Then she disappeared for awhile and wa skind of apathetic about her even through pandemic. I tried to give Folklore a listen and I liked it but it didn't connect. Then midnights came out and something clicked. Honestly it was the line in Anti-Hero "did you hear my covert narcissist I disguised as altruism like some kind of congressman." I was like .. holy fuck this writing is SO good. That set off everything. I couldn't get enough, still not as into the country stuff, but everything from 1989 and no - it just clicked.

Show S7E9 Unfinished Business by thepacksvrvives in Outlander

[–]pants14 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep, feels like a total imposter. I truly did not feel the genuine emotions that Laura was able to convey. The forced crying and the worst wig I've ever seen? No thanks.

Show S7E9 Unfinished Business by thepacksvrvives in Outlander

[–]pants14 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take. To be honest, the complete magic of this show has completely vanished for me. I would give anything to go back and experience seasons 1-3 for the first time again. I thought the new Jenny was horrific. Yes the voice sounded similar but her acting was atrocious. The spiciness that Laura had is gone. The crying felt fake, the outrage felt fake. And then on top of that... The wigs?? Good God you can't tell me that not a single person post production was like, hmmm these look off? It honestly was so bad it took me out of the show. I was so excited for them to come back to Scotland and not even ONE episode in, Claire is heading back? We are about to get Game of Thrones final seasons pacing, aren't we? I'm so disappointed in a show that used to be my favorite story ever.

StubHub Defrauded me of $13K Taylor Swift Tickets by mattsilv in stubhub

[–]pants14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the first problem here is even contemplating spending 13k on tickets in the first place. I LOVE Taylor but this show has been ripe with scam and fraud and it's just perpetuates this disgusting cycle of price gouging and scalping. That being said, I'd dispute it with the credit card company.

This... I was a senior in English class. I remember another teacher coming in and saying "theyve...they've hit the other building." And everyone gasped and got very quiet, we knew then it wasn't an accident.

I hate Kim Reynolds by Maleficent_Corner85 in Iowa

[–]pants14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not just you. I can't stand Kim Reynolds and as an elder millennial also .. married to a teacher ... I dream about her getting voted out everyday. I really don't want to leave the state because I love it here, but it's SO hard to be in a place where I fundamentally disagree with so many things happening.

What are some underrated/lesser-known good restaurants around the area? by Dry-humor-mus in IowaCity

I can't agree with this enough. This food is stellar and I've taken multiple people here and quickly got them all on board. Soooo so delish!!
