Saw a friend and he noticed the weight loss, "nice, that takes a lot of effort." I corrected him in that I am still not really trying.

Ozempic, one easy shot a week. Zero side effects. Other meds also, but it dropped my daily sugar 20 pts, and A1C is 7. I did lose 35 lbs, but have leveled out. Still want to lose 20 or more, but I haven't made the effort due to injuries and yadda yadda yadda.

Dr prescribed Wegovy, which is one shot a week. Shortages like crazy. I'd like to lose around the same as you. My brother lost 30 in about 3 months on Wegovy

I lost 15 lbs this week. All you need is the Astrovirus and the weight will literally fall right out of you.

Just an extraordinary weather system. And yes, automerge is the worst. If I didn't look at my notifications, I wouldn't have seen your question as I zoomed by it the first time

models only started showing it yesterday morning, but NYC is getting absolutely pounded

While living in Hoboken, the Hudson would come over the wall and into the town during normal storms. This was over 14 years ago. I can only imagine how bad it is now.....

I currently work out around 90 minutes a day, cycling, walking, strength training, yoga with Peloton, play hockey twice a week. Problem is drinking, snacking throughout the day. When i play hockey, games get done around 11ish and a McDonalds is right by the bar that sponsors our team.

From what im reading, Semaglutides like WeGovy basically make you feel the sensation of fullness and also works on the dopamine sensors, several people on the subreddit indicate that it also has an impact on the amount they drink.

If im working out every day and not losing weight because i choose to snack and drink, hopefully this helps.

Only thing that I don't like is that when I lost 150 pounds when i was around 20, naturally, i felt a sense of pride and accomplishment because i worked my ass off.

A comfortable sleep for me is like when the room is in the 50-60 degree range.

Not sure of your age, but I believe you are a silverback, like me. Since February, I have lost 85 pounds by diet alone, so it can be done because I DESPISE working out, running, etc. I do get a significant amount of movement when I am shooting events and such, but, on average, nothing spectacular. I'm about 20lbs from goal without working out, and trust me, if I can do it...

Ha ha...he liked being nude when he slept and he was nude on Broad Street when the Phillies won the penant in 1993. He felt like he was a celtic warrior...

Fascinating insights....

It definitely helps with making sense of one's own mortality and that of loved ones that have faithfully departed or soon to depart this current dimension of consciousness...

I highly, highly recommend you read After by Dr. Bruce Greyson. It is absolutely fascinating. He's spent decades studying NDEs and the testimonies from patients. He is a religious man, but approaches the topic of NDEs and writes from a pragmatic and scientific position.

Tumeric gets marketed as a cure for basically everything which keeps me from taking it seriously

Tastes good though

Just listened to the cliff notes version with this interview of Greyson...gonna get the book. Thanks for sharing..

Fascinating indeed. I take solace in the scientific evidence he explains that we still exist (the mind) after we die in state of consciousness...another dimension if you will separate from our filtering brain and physical body/vessel.

Take capsules, not powder. It has really worked well for me. I do use the powder for cooking Asian style though. Seriously, my health has been been better since I started taking the capsules daily.
