Hey all - I have been mostly MIA lately, good to hear from y'all and welcome newbies! I am struggling these days, weight inching around, weight 17 lbs higher year over year, but hanging onto 32 lbs loss over 2 years ago. So could be worse but pathetic nonetheless. I still have a hundred pounds to lose. My main struggle…

I am struggling these days, weight inching around, weight 17 lbs higher year over year, but hanging onto 32 lbs loss over 2 years ago. So could be worse but pathetic nonetheless. I still have a hundred pounds to lose. My main struggle though currently is a severe bursitis flare up in my hip (first time and sooo painful),…

So sorry to hear this Laurie, all the mental gearing up is exhausting so I am sure those 'freedom' 💤 will be much needed though! You live to fight another day - keep us posted. ❤️
-
Cool! So Ann, if you are all facing backwards - who steers?? I thought one person would still face forward...like a lookout if nothing else. With 4 people rowing, I imagine you could go pretty fast!

This reminded me - apparently there is going to be a new sequel coming out for My Big Fat Greek Wedding!
-
LOL - so last year after recovering from retiring, I signed up to be a travel agent!! But I quit this year as I really can't handle work-related stress anymore it seems, and hard to control the workload - I want to be able to work just a few hours a week, but if you are someone's travel agent, and suddenly booking a group…

Hello, there is an over 60 thread to.post in, and we are a welcoming bunch! Not sure how to give you a link though 🤔 it is in the same section you posted this, just scroll until you find Y's! Home>Introduce Yourself>60 years and up

Hey all, not sure if there is another more active Wegovy/Ozempic/Mounjara thread y'all are posting in?? Are we losing weight?? This week I move up.to 1ml Ozempic, finally, so far not much in the way of side effects (yay) but not much in the way of benefits either (boo). Weight is basically stable, appetite starting to…

Hey all, I am in the midst of 10 days holidays, scale up a couple of lbs but it is my travel scale so never matches home exactly; I like having it for accountability. Here is the view from our shady spot at our Motel, very hot here but so relaxing! And full AC in our suite to retreat to lol. This area is the northern tip…
-
Absolutely, I concur - when I replaced my scale last year, these are exactly the mental gymnastics I engaged in... Congrats on the new scale!
-
I'm all about those semi-accurate, fakely consistent results!
-
Or in modern parlance 'You do you, boo. I know, I know - a day late and a dollar short!

Hey all, new + returning + never left! I never left, but haven't been as active posting on here of late. I too began this last time ever pursuit of weightloss/health in August 2021 after retiring and had good success the first year (45+ lbs down) and then been up & down the last year (still down 35+) - which if I was in…

@Casiana88, you sound a lot like me! I'm a 63 year old Granny, prediabetic, and have battled the bulge since giving birth to my 2nd child in 1988. I was a plump child but slimmed down in adolescence until starting a family. Lost substantial amounts at different points, but always regaining and becoming progressively…
-
Glad to hear of your experiences! I am really relieved to have this drug to try, but will be another month of gradually increasing to get to 1ml. So far little to no side effects, but little weightloss either so we'll see. Not until Wednesday do I move up to .5, just takes time to get through the phasing in - hopeful I am…
-
So I my GP is moving me to .5 for the next 2 weeks, then .75 for 2 weeks following, then onto 1 ongoing after that (the highest she will prescribe for Ozempic). Wegovy is approved but has not yet been shipped to Canada, due to supply issues. My insurance company has made a blanket decision that since Ozempic is approved…
-
Oh my goodness, that's terrible for anyone wanting to start this drug as so important to gradually increase to give your body time to adjust. I am still.on .25, took my 4th dose Wednesday, and have had the really minimal temporary side effects. See my Dr today (Friday) and hoping I move up to .5. I really am not down much,…
-
I would think after 3 weeks of recovery 'up & about' + now 1 week.of light activity it makes sense to get a weight to take stock of where you're at, so you have that info for planning next steps & fyi as to how your body responded to all the trauma it's been through. And please note - it is right & good to be feeding…
-
That can be tough to plan around, have you tried something otc like Pepto-Bismol?
-
@harringtona1 , I think you are having great success! That's wonderful. Is the general queasy feeling more or less constant, or more so the first day or 2 after your injection or after certain types of food?
-
Other news: last week was devoted to getting my decks and vegetable garden in order - this week is front garden and more planting! So good calorie 🔥 😇
-
Update from me - as hoped, I did indeed lose the last 2 lbs from vacation, phew! Potentially Big News: after consultation with my Dr, I have decided to try taking Ozempic. Coincidentally, the same day she phoned in the prescription, I heard from the Obesity clinic - which was crazy since that was from a referral 2.5 years…
-
@SbetaK, haha - you can't kill us off that easy! We are a tenacious bunch 🙂 - which you are demonstrating by ordering StarLink - we will expect to hear from you and more about this remote camp over the Summer!
-
Soooo, I finally got my Dr's approval for Ozempic and picked up my prescription tonight (Wegovy has been approved by Health Canada, but isn't available yet in this country, due to supply issues lol). My Dr has me starting at a .25 dose - for 4 weeks...so I am not really expecting much progress initially. O well, if it…
-
I have heard yes and no answers to this question lol! Some folks insist that you drink your water allotment in addition to any/every thing else, but that seems a little extreme to me. I mean come on, water flavoured with a little lemon vs lemonade, how can that really be all the different? Sugar aside... I believe there is…
-
Hi all, I am slogging away, fighting the good fight, not giving up but frankly not making much progress either. However, not gaining and hanging onto prior losses IS a win in itself and my progress seems to be more like the last one in the chart lol.
-
@Pdc654 - wowee!! Yippee!! You are SUCH an inspiration, so happy for you 💗 👏 👏 👏 🎆 💕 And love your next set of goals, very laudable but so perfectly sensible 🥰

Hey all you golden oldies! Seems I have been absent for awhile, *#@! stuff happens I guess 😉. I was in theme park heaven for a week recently (Disneyland, California Adventure park, Universal Studios) with my daughter, son, daughter-in-law, my 2 grandkids, DIL'S good friend + her child...quite the group to be herded around…
-
I am part way through catching up, but this post stopped me in my tracks with a hearty lol moment! I have certainly felt like I was a harbinger of the end times myself here and there - I'm convinced it's the first choice 😆 🤣- back later once I'm caught up!
-
Hope all that need healing are healing nicely - sending along my good vibes too! I am plugging away, not all that successfully sadly, but still at it. While I live, I hope!
