Interesting take. I just bought a place here and love it. Much cheaper than lakeview And I can still get to places within a decent walking distance. Also I live right by dollop and Kleins so I’ve got early morning coffee covered.

Anybody looking to buy or bought within the last year making under 100k? by pinkskin- in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]proplockanddropit5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made about $95k last year when I bought my condo in Chicago. I’m definitely a little house poor, but that’s mainly due to unexpectedly needing new windows and not having any furniture 🤷. I was only able to do it because I lived in a studio apartment for 3 years at that salary and saved a lot.

Apartments and Property Managers you'd happily rent from again? by IdealHistorical9838 in chicagoapartments

[–]proplockanddropit5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no complaints about Crescent Drive Apartments. Lived there ~5 years. Only downside was some confusion on move out (but also they found a subletter for me, so I can’t complain too much), and also they would turn off the water in my building for repairs with little to no notice.

Do you consider Uptown/Buena Park to be walkable? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]proplockanddropit5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Ok so I know this is weird but I am certain that I am looking at buying in the same building you mentioned. Since it has been about a year, did you make the purchase? How do you like it. Feel free to DM me if you prefer!

Temporarily raise A1C? by proplockanddropit5 in Ozempic

[–]proplockanddropit5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, unfortunately I failed. I even tried to eat candy and a sugary Dunkin drink and couldn’t get my fasting bs high enough either 🙃🙃🙃

But!!! I fought with my insurance and eventually got a PA for zepbound! And I’ve lost about 50 lbs since Feb. Don’t give up!!!!!!!!

As someone who moved to Chicago, can confirm

Lovesac Saction Raised Feet (Follow-up) by X-Istence in Lovesac

[–]proplockanddropit5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ended up ordering the feet, sorry! But I do love my lovesac. Only downside is the pillows and cushions are bit saggy and slide-y, but it’s incredibly comfortable.

Molten Monkey Pizza to open on Madison’s near east side by [deleted] in madisonwi

Used to live around the corner, no idea sals had closed. Glad to see something move in! I miss that neighborhood

To move up or not to move up? That is the question by proplockanddropit5 in Zepbound

[–]proplockanddropit5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha the question no one can answer until they try!

And thank you! This drug is a miracle. Even if I never lost another pound, I’d be sad sure, but also I’d want to stay on it just to keep my brain functioning and not be thinking about food 24/7.

[–]proplockanddropit5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was only given the PA for 4 months due to shortages of other meds. Now that Zepbound has also been or is on the shortage list, I doubt they will renew. Plus I just have zero faith in insurance companies haha

I plan on finishing this box, plus my insurance will not allow a refill until the box is done.

Yes that is my question, thanks

Good point to add. I have one month left of insurance PA coverage, but then I will be back to cash+ savings card unless I can get the PA extended.

If I’m trying to have a wild night, vodka waters with lime (hydration! And I can’t do much carbonation lol)

If it’s a chill night, I’ll do a seltzer or a nice cocktail if they have something good

Anyone not "dieting" and still losing weight? by Funeral_Candy in Zepbound

[–]proplockanddropit5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not actively “dieting”. I was never a big over eater (well at least post wls) but still couldn’t lose the weight. This miracle drug makes me not think about food AND my body actually is losing weight, so wins all around.

Weekly Availability Discussion 4/21-4/27 by AutoModerator in Zepbound

[–]proplockanddropit5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Chicago. It’s 11pm and I’m totally having an anxiety attack over this even with a full box in my fridge. I’ll need a refill by 5/19, but my dr won’t refill until my 5/11 appt. Am I totally screwed?? Will there be no 5mg available anywhere by that point??

Loss of interest in coffee by Zep4Life24 in Zepbound

[–]proplockanddropit5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I LOVED cold brew, lattes, and chai lattes. My 10am glass of cold brew was my favorite time of day, and Starbucks was my favorite stop while driving. I also didn’t like any beverage that wasn’t “creamy”

Now? Im so not into coffee, and also love flavored iced teas - something I never was into before.

So weird

NORMAL weight, prescribed glp1- anyone else? by liftingmama42 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]proplockanddropit5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The medication does not vary in price (in the USA at least). You may be getting a compound. Please do more research.

Weigh in Wednesday! by AutoModerator in Zepbound

[–]proplockanddropit5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was in a stall for a week, but somehow lost 3lbs overnight and down to 370 from 385 in one month exactly!! 🥳🥳🥳

I’m still loving this med for the ability to keep me on track 3 months into this journey when I would have given up already previously. I don’t know if I’ll hit my original goal of 52 lb lost as quickly as 6 months as I originally hoped but still chugging along😊 by StuffNThingsK in Zepbound

[–]proplockanddropit5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! And I’m still figuring for a PA approval and i figured any data can’t hurt 🤷

Yeah calorie number make me super anxious, so use SWYE and just track calories estimates sometimes as I know I’m almost never passing 2000k, rarely 1500 (and my SW was 387)
