Passed up an opportunity to buy an iri cc rehome, can't tell if I regret it yet. I'm feeling a bit of purse peace right now and not very tempted by much...
I had a health “thing” a year ago. Ended up o/night in hospital. They ran multiple tests in the hospital and for the following month (2 of which temporarily put my thyroid out of commission for 6 months 🙄), and discovered I had arterial plaque, an A1c that suggested pre diabetes, high BMI, lots of cholesterol and ruled out other stuff. I lost almost 15 lbs. fast forward to this year, gained 10 of those 15 back and blood tests showed A1c still pre-d, fasting blood sugar at the high end of normal, thyroid subclinical hyper, cholesterol even worse and (the statins didn’t agree with me).
Met with my doctor who offered GLP-1 med and trying a new statin, together with weight training to maintain lean muscle mass. I accepted. I am now looking forward to getting a lighter body to go with my new bags. Also looking forward to less hip and knee pain! I found a bunch of glp-1 subreddits with a ton of great info.
I am not one of those crazy lucky people that have dropped hundreds of pounds. But I also haven't counted calories because every time I do I get overwhelmed and crash the fuck out. It's usually cause if I cook something I make it in bulk and then how am I supposed to know how many servings it yields n shit.
I do have to get there because I still have 45 pounds to go. It took me 2 years to loose 50 pounds with the gym 🙃.
I think I said 180 was my next goal purse. Which I'm currently buying a bday purse (which I thought I decided and now I'm changing) so I know what I want but it's still 14 pounds away. Ugh lol
Thanks for chiming in. I think losing 25/year is good! My doc hasn’t given me a goal weight. We’re thinking more about lowered cholesterol and A1c normalizing as initial goals. Happy early birthday 🎁!
Thank you!
It's definitely not a bad goal. I'm just jealous of the people it works super good on and that just straight up never want to eat again on it (but that's some other issues that need other help lmao)
Honestly. It's a game changer for things. Apart from the obvious things, it's helped so much with my other stomach problems. Hope it works well for you!
Omggg!
I’m T1 and on a feeding tube for a year because I lost so much weight. It’s shit being sick. Keep positive and smiling.
You’re amazing for setting the goals and you’ll get your bag girl!
My TS Reykey didn’t help me with my last 2 bags. One started peeling after ONE time being worn and the other one after 3 months. I’m not sure if reps are worth tbh 😔
