Mikey tuetul weight loss

Been working on my A1C since October. Slow going but im getting better. Ive had ED since about April last year (was finally diagnosed in September after finally going to the doctor). Ive read that ED might get better if weight loss happened and diabetes was managed well. And ive also read that the nerve damage is irreversable. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge on this? Appreciated!

want to lose 100 pounds..I’ve been dabbling in this for a couple weeks but going full force tomorrow

For those who have some weight to lose as well, taking this medication has changed everything for me! Before this, it would take everything I could do, and I gave in most of the time. Now I have 0 desire to drink. It is such a relief! Means more to me than the weight loss!

Saw some guy say hims is secretly planning to drop news about getting into the weight-loss/ozempic craze and will possibly announce on June 6th shareholder call, if the rumor is true or not the stock has already been running for 2 weeks and volatility is climbing. Could be a good volatility play. June 17th FDs on Monday morning or wait a little longer to see if it pulls back?

Stats: 46 F, SW 192, CW 152.4, GW 135. Current dose 96 Units Semaglutide. Started July 14th 2023, been taking weekly for 45 weeks.
Overall down 39.6 lbs in 45 weeks which I'm very happy with!!! During my journey I've noticed I'll drop 5-10 lbs then stall for 3-4 wks, then drop again, stall, etc. The last two stalls have been much more lengthy so this is why I decided to try Tirzepatide for 3 months, and will be taking 1st dose later this week.
Side effects have been minimal and manageable. I noticed all minor side efforts went away with time. For example, had more burps for a few weeks then went back to normal. Hair was shedding much more for about 6-8 weeks then back to my normal hair shedding. BMs became less and if I didn't go for a few days would take a gentle laxative. Was using laxatives every other week in the beginning and now maybe take it once a month if not at all.
Any insight from someone who has switched??? Any advice is much appreciated.
My little hacks I did while on the Semaglutide journey is:

• Only put your weight in a tracker if you went down, the reason I did this was so that I could see my little chart in a downward trend which made me happy to look at.
• Prior to dropping weight, my weight would bounce around so I started weighing myself much less which was so freeing!!!
• Tried splitting a dose a few times into twice a week which wasn't helpful for me.
• Ran out twice before the next order and would start back less for a week or two before titrating back up.
• If losing weight would stay at a lower dose longer.
• Made better food choices but didn't overthink it which was also freeing.
• Had started taking good multivitamin prior to starting and are still taking them. I think this helped me keep my energy levels normal.

My journey has been happy and at times has felt effortless as compared to previous weight loss success. Over the years I've tried every diet, exercise regiment out there to lose weight with enormous effort. Now it just feels effortless mentally even though I'm putting in effort which is a welcomed change.
Best of luck to all of you and wish you much success.

This is long and my first post on here so bear with me please.
I guess you can say in recovery from Anorexia/ED but I’ve never fully admitted to anyone, not even myself. A year ago I was at my lowest weight. I’m 5’8” and weighed in at 115lbs but I was in the best shape of my life. Even before I hit my lowest weight I was CONSTANTLY criticized by family for being “too thin” or for “not eating or not eating enough”. While my weight was dropping my family would tell me how bad or unhealthy I looked. It really hurt me.
Cut to now, I’ve started gaining weight back over the last year (20lbs to be exact). My Mom and my brother are doing the Mounjaro shot to lose weight and my sister says her weight loss is from working out and help from her dietitian but I know she binges. I hear her throwing up after every meal. My sister is ridiculously skinny now and all she gets is compliments from our other family members. Her legs are the same size that mine were a year ago if not skinnier. I look at myself now in the mirror and all I see is me being the “fat sister”. I hate it. She works out all the time just like I did. It’s just so hard because all everyone around me talks about is how much less they’re eating and how they have no appetite. Im really struggling and I’m just so angry!
All I want to know is why is okay for her to look the same way (size) that I did but it wasn’t okay for me. I look at all these people around me who are losing weight and everyone gets compliments but when I was losing weight I got nothing but cruel comments and family members trying to shove Ensure down my throat.
Is it normal to feel like this? Does anyone else feel this way? How should I handle these feelings?

Hi guys ! I count calories and I like to meal prep my meals as my day can be really busy but I realized that I’m not actually sure if I’m doing it right or if I’m missing something, so far my weight loss is going okay but is there anything that needs improving? Pls let me know. I don’t want to be accidentally stalling my progress

Questions: How urgent are antibiotics after tooth loss? Will the loss of canine tooth require any adjustments on my part to ensure quality of life? Species: Dog Age: 2.5 years Sex/neuter status: female/spayed Breed: Border Collie x Poodle Body weight: 35lbs History: Chomped by a big dog at 10 weeks. Other dog’s teeth went through her eye (kept it but likely blind) and the roof of her mouth. Her upper teeth on that side only came in halfway. Clinical signs: knocked out upper left canine tooth Duration: few hours General location: South Sound area of Washington state
My pup never had full length teeth on her left side from the canine back. Her canine was short and her molars kinda look like puppy teeth (I’m certain they are her adult teeth). Today she tried to grab her ball and bit the chuck-it wand it was in instead. She yelped a little and started licking her mouth, which was bleeding. I gently touched her short canine tooth and it was very loose. My plan was to call the vet tomorrow to make an appointment for extraction. Fast forward a few hours. The tooth is gone. I believe she swallowed it because she had a little coughing fit. She seems fine. Eating, drinking, and playing as she normally does. Of course, I’m still going to take her to the vet. Do you think I need an emergency appointment to get her on antibiotics right away or is this something that could wait a few days? Thus far she doesn’t seem to notice she lost a tooth. Are there any adjustments I should make, foods, treats, toys, activities I should avoid, etc. to ensure her quality of life? I never engage in tug. Sometimes I’ll hold a toy and let her do the tugging. She has mostly nylabone/ kong chews and one antler my dad found, no rawhide or marrow bones. Only rubber chuck-it balls, no tennis balls. She loves sticks that break easily, shredding cardboard, and defluffing stuffed toys all of which get monitored closely so she can’t swallow. Playing fetch in the yard is her absolute favorite thing life

What was your average weightloss the first month.
I switched from zepbound to wegovy due to the shortage granted I have pcos so I know zepbound may work better for others.
In the first month I’ve lost 5 pounds which for me isn’t bad. I know everyone’s journey is different but how normal is it to lose more than the 1-2 pounds per week?

I am a 17F and my entire life I’ve lived together with my married parents. My mom’s childhood was pretty bad as her mother left her at a young age and she lived with her dad who molested her (he died ab 10 yrs ago). She was an only child, same as me and it makes sense to her very introverted personality. She does not work, had 1 job for a few months during my life time. She leaves the house once a week to get groceries and that’s it. She dosent talk to any of her family and dislikes my dad’s family. My parents never really had much chemistry to begin with, there very much opposite. As a child, I realized my parents were different than other parents. My parents haven’t slept in the same bedroom since I was a baby, as long as i’ve been alive they’ve never been on a date, and generally just no romance at all. I remember good and bad memories with my mother. I remember going roller skating with her in my driveway, and us going to the mall together, and very constant arguing. Into my early teens I started to really feel distant from my mother. I realized that we just didn’t get along at all at a young age and in order to keep myself happier I must avoid her. I reflected on all the things she’s said to me and how they affected me. I remember when we went shopping at justice in the mall and how she’d criticize my body. I was told my body wasn’t good enough for a bikini or any cropped clothes but it’s okay because I will “thin out” when i’m older. All the times she picked on my body or pointed out that she weighed more than me started affecting me. The combination of that lead me into my own eating problems and in that time period I lost weight. My mom would always tell me how skinny I was. One day she yelled at me and threatened to take me to a mental hospital if i didn’t “stop” and then congratulated me for my weight loss the next week after a doctors appointment. At a young age I found out that my mom has bulimia and has been taking laxatives for years now. I also started noticing my mom’s drinking habits. She would change into an entirely different person when drunk, even the tone of her voice would change. She did reckless things when drunk. A key memory I have is all the times my mom snuck out and my dad wakes me up in the middle of the night, “your mom’s gone.” This meant she was out cheating on my dad. My dad caught her sneaking out with lingrie in her bag. She met the guy she cheated on my dad at my friends moms house in 4th grade. There were years of this, then my dad smashing her phone and it would happen again. My mom would lie a lot about it as well. There were many times where she went out in the middle of the night to get beer, comes back with a damaged car or hit the garage etc etc. My mom got into a drunk car accident with me when i was a baby under 1yr old. My dad saw the jack daniels in her car, took me while my mom stayed with her dad in the hospital. The police had been involved with my parents once. They got in a fight over windows and my mom punched herself and blamed it on him. I honestly didn’t believe it until i saw that he recorded her, wasted punching herself. One time, when i was 9 my mom asked me if she wanted my parents to get a divorce, i said yes, so she locked herself in the bathroom with a knife and a rag. This leads me into my fear that she is going to hurt herself. There will be someday I moved out and I won’t be there to see that she’s okay at all times. For anyone wondering I am okay and have been in therapy. My mom has been in therapy because she is on meds for her panic attack disorder. She dosent tell the doctor this and hides it. My dad admits that he kept taking my mom back because he feels bad. I honestly just want my mom to tell me she dosent love me so i can not have sympathy for her

Hi guys, yes I'm British so you'll be hearing British terms and measurements that Brits use.
I'm 23F, 5'8, 125KG. I'm a university student, I don't eat a lot, I do drink a lot (coca cola, monsters, rock stars etc.). I've always wanted to loose weight, this week something made me want to start, I signed up to my university gym and will be starting from Monday.
My GP is concerned about my weight and has always said walking is the best form of exercise to loose weight. I've always been afraid of going to the gym but something inside me made me sign up to the university gym. I'm on a four month summer break, my plan is to go to gym twice a day and walk 12,000 steps on a treadmill. I've checked my health app on my phone, when walking 12,000 steps in a day I usually loose around 826 calories. I checked by walking 12,000 steps a day, I would loose 0.13kg per a day by walking 12,000 steps.
My average steps per a day is 12,000 steps. With the gym and my normal walking, I'd be doing 24,000 steps in total. x 0.13kg by 2 would give me a total weight loss of 0.26kg per a day. My GP always states the best form of exercises to do is walking because you can never get injured, I'm always walking and I can sometimes do 30,000 steps per a day, I've never got injured from walking.
If Ioose 0.26kg per a day, by the time I'm back at university, my new weight would be 96kg, if I keep this up. I plan to do this 6 days a week, giving myself one day of a week to relax and have therapy to rest my feet. I know we're all strangers on reddit but I'd still appreciate honest opinions. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or not. I know I'm optimistic.

Hi everyone,
Just diagnosed female in my mid 20’s w Crohns in my small bowel. Recieving the diagnosis was a gut punch for me and something I was not anticipating whatsoever. I’ve been driving myself crazy with googling trying to learn everything about what Crohns really is and am writing this as I sit on the beach with my friends because no one knows and I just feel majorly depressed.
No family history, no weight loss or extreme symptoms, but my ‘Ibs’ had been bothering me more than usual so I decided to get a colonoscopy because I was afraid of having colorectal cancer & learned I have ‘mild early Crohns’ instead (very grateful to not have cancer). Results were super ambigious- clear biopsies but CT & bloodwork showed some signs that point to CD.
I’m feeling really alone, and my GI doctor absolutely sucked and told me he “thinks I probably have it” and to just “watch my symptoms and that if anything, I could do Pentasa if I wanted.” No dietary instructions, no info about prognosis or what the disease entails or what it even is. No mention of biologics or the importance of early treatment, etc.
I’ve been scouring this subreddit and have honestly learned so much from this community & am honestly wanting some reassurance or just brutal honesty about what this disease truly is and how much I can expect it to affect my life through the next few decades. I am starting a fairly physical and demanding career in healthcare and have been reading so many posts about how people have been hospitalized over and over and I’m just scared and looking for some clarity (and will be definitely getting second & third GI doc opinions).
Is incontinence inevitable? Can starting biologics with minor symptoms truly avoid things like strictures, fistulas? Is it worth risking side effects like kidney failure or immunosuppression to start biologics with minor symptoms in my mid 20’s??
