Well, I was down 20# through hard work and grit through 8 months of 2024 Archived Message Posted by ATL on February 27, 2025, 9:12:05, in reply to "What's the hold up?*" and then gained 10# back in the fall. So I figured I could do it on my own but now I'm thinking WTF is wrong with me? Previous Message Previous Message I think everybody but me is on GLP-1s.

Was just about to order via Amazon. Good tip. Thanks!* - Tuscy February 27, 2025, 12:42:14 Isn’t that the whole “net carbs” thing? - digs February 27, 2025, 11:58:58 Carbs in and carbs out. And there are two ways for carbs to go out. * - doubledown February 27, 2025, 12:05:34 Other than the 10 gallons of butt pee yesterday, nothing significant* - timmer February 27, 2025, 10:36:56 Gotta be happy with that 83lb weight loss right out of the gate. * - doubledown February 27, 2025, 10:59:57 Sure am but the 4am massive leg cramp I can do without* - timmer February 27, 2025, 11:04:34 Maybe you should take some GLP-1s so you don't have massive legs* - ATL February 27, 2025, 12:14:58 not happy with the lack of engagement on your previous post re: buttpee?* - Sammich February 27, 2025, 10:43:55 He specifically told people not to click on it.

As I mentioned below - ATL February 27, 2025, 9:23:37 But if they have to withdraw from GLP1's anyway, they are going to have to suck it up. - Stu February 27, 2025, 9:24:47 It helps (as intended) for people who are insulin resistant to lose weight - Taz February 27, 2025, 10:29:28 This is the Tax post I've been waiting for. I'm thrilled for you.* - complainant February 27, 2025, 11:07:32 Well i haven't posted much about it because, tbh, the results are still slow - Taz February 27, 2025, 11:33:15 As opposed to diet and exercise, which you only have to do once* - gvibes February 27, 2025, 9:25:26 Lame* - Stu February 27, 2025, 9:26:56 So are you people getting it from one of the compounding/online services or your Dr.?* - ATL February 27, 2025, 9:18:53 Nope, no issues* - Taz February 27, 2025, 9:15:05 My wife has a little nausea the day of the shot but otherwise hasn't experienced anything.* - Tuscy February 27, 2025, 9:12:49 My wife has been doing it for about a year - GrandmotherPearlsJam February 27, 2025, 9:02:06 I thought women were only good for like 10 minutes* - Stu February 27, 2025, 9:08:34 sidejack: I was at an event a month ago with people I usually see every six months or so - ATL February 27, 2025, 8:57:48 The only people I know on it are a few rich ladies (and you rich ladies of course). * - haighter February 27, 2025, 10:09:34 Yeah, where people spend $6,000/mo for 700 sq ft, you can't really afford GLP-1s* - ATL February 27, 2025, 12:16:23 What's the hold up?* - complainant February 27, 2025, 9:08:41 Well, I was down 20# through hard work and grit through 8 months of 2024 - ATL February 27, 2025, 9:12:05 Yeah, you embody grit....

How much is being healthier worth? - longsnapper February 27, 2025, 10:04:45 I think I can probably do it more easily on my own now that I changed all my habits. - doubledown February 27, 2025, 10:07:47 I'm trying to get my dad to take it, but he's resistant. His insurance doesn't cover it - longsnapper February 27, 2025, 10:02:44 If Zepbound, Lilly just cut prices for their direct purchase vials.
