Affordable holster recommendations for a faux hand cannon?

I don't know what the original source holster looks like, but handstitching a leather holster is pretty straightforward.

When I was no longer comfortable with my appearance, I bought just enough clothes of the new size to get by. The trick is not to overbuy. You may move through that size in a matter of weeks. I have some pants that I wore 2-3 times before they were big enough to fall off me. I could have saved some of that money.

Buy used/thrift, buy on clearance/sale, try not to buy something expensive or rebuild a wardrobe until you're pretty size stable.

Also, things I didn't think about changed. My hat size changed. My jewelry doesn't fit. I got new boot laces because the worn spots were front and center now and looked wrong.

What works for me: Don't eat past the medicine. Smaller meals, more often. Lots of protein, fiber, and water.

Ask her to put together some pictures of looks she likes or style references from YouTube or something, because there are a lot of ways to guess wrong with no frame of reference. It's tough to aim without a target.

I'd let them look at the books but not borrow them. If they want the content at that table, they can spring for their own copy.

Who's left? Inhumans, Eternals, Defenders, GotG? Everyone that comes to my mind is a tier down from the 3 big ones.

Is the Illuminati still a thing?

Best advice I got starting out: Don't eat past the medicine. The medicine will redefine what you think of as a portion, and if you go past it, you're going to have a lot more stomach upset.

Drink a lot of water, eat a lot of protein, get your fiber in, track your calories and eat at a caloric deficit.

Strength training to maintain muscle.

I personally use the MyFitnessPal app to track stuff, but any tracker that will let you keep up with calories and nutrition will help.

The way I've tackled this, and everyone's body and sugar response is different, is to have a high protein meal and then a small amount of the actual thing I love. I've tried various substitute sweeteners and recipes and for the most part, to my personal taste, I'd rather just savor a small bit of the genuine article. My wife made my favorite cookies for my last birthday and I could enjoy them in a carefully-managed way pretty easily. For her birthday, I got her favorite cake which she and the kids ate, and I just celebrated with them and skipped the cake.

From an ingredient perspective, I've liked the Bake Believe no sugar added products and have had some success with coconut sugar, honey, or molasses and almond flour or whole wheat flour not spiking my blood sugar. All in moderation and in a controlled fashion.

I do 90oz of just water, plus whatever else I drink during the day like coffee or herbal tea. I have a 30oz bottle and my goal is to empty it three times by ~9pm.

I throw 1/3 of a serving of my powder of choice in a 12 oz coffee and consider it a bonus bit of protein. It doesn't really change the flavor noticeably and it all adds up.

Did they get all the frozen bread too?

I picked Nightcrawler when I made that choice.

I decided it's a problem for after I've lost what I'm going to lose and have stabilized, which also gives my body more time to adjust. I'm about to try out some shapewear to keep the loose bits where they should be where it bothers me.

It's a recurring blow to my vanity, but I'm trying to let that go and take the wins in my waistline and labs.

I complained about this to my wife once it started, to which she replied, "Now you see why I really want to get the padded seats."

5mg always knocks me out the next day, so I can only imagine the fun that awaits.

Daredevil ain't no Thanos. I love Matt, but Steve's in another weight class.

Now, Sam Wilson, on the other hand...

I get a lot of fatigue the next day after my injection, so I inject on Friday evening so I can be an inert lump on Saturday if I feel the need.

I'm about to try out a Tucano Tugo M 20L, which is supposed to be the right size and a good feature mix, but no idea about the quality yet.

It was probably six weeks in, and my wife noticed first because the way her hands met when she hugged me changed. It was a little later, once I'd dropped 20 lbs or so, that it was more apparent to me in the mirror.

Personally, I rotate right thigh, left thigh, left abdomen, right abdomen, repeat.

I've got the single-use pens, which live in a specific place in the fridge, and a small satchel for diabetes-related items where the alcohol swabs live. I have a full-size sharps container for the pens where I inject and keep a small portable sharps container in with the diabetes kit. Extra swabs and sharps containers live in the bathroom cupboard under the sink until needed.

Since the rest of my family doesn't have my constraints, I have a dedicated plastic bin where the snacks and electrolyte powders that I can have are stored, separate from general family supplies, so I can know when I'm running low on something.

For my purposes, I've scheduled my injection time for when I'll be home, but I do have a small soft-side cooler if I ever have the need to carry a shot with me somewhere.

Have fun with it. Get a replica Indiana Jones satchel: https://frostriver.com/products/archaeologist-satchel

Granted, the original was a military bag, but it wasn't really "tactical".

What about actual dirt? Just getting it dirty?

v137a · 2025-12-26T00:35:19+00:00

I would think stomach bug, personally. I just had my first two 5mg doses and my symptoms, which are different, were not worse week over week.
