If you have lost that much weight without doing exercise along the way you may be shocked at how much lean muscle mass you have lost. I recently hit what I thought was my goal weight, and I got a DEXA scan, and it was bad news... 33% body fat with a very high visceral fat score. I'm like 3rd...

The amount drawn into the syringe is so tiny it's going to be close to room temperature by the time you inject it. LET'S DO THE MATH Well, let's ask an AI to do the math, because I am lazy and I am not going to look anything up. I did measure a 1 cc insulin syringe at 2.5 g though, and I...

As most others have said I believe you get to make your own decisions, yadda yadda yadda. But -- I think we need to know more about your specific goals before we can give you any good advice. If you're at a healthy weight and it is easy for you to maintain there is no reason to be on...

I need to develop some kind of routine too. I have all the gear I need at home, but little knowledge and less gumption, haha. I have done regular lifting a couple of times in my past, enough to know gains come hard to me. When I was in my 20s my roommate was a lifting nut, I went and did it...

A personality change big enough that you are self-aware about uncharacteristic risk-taking, and you developed severe relationship problems... That's a reason to talk to a doctor, IMHO. Maybe the answer is as simple as it's the medicine, and you're unlucky with side effects. Maybe it's...

I knew someone would have the info. :)

Now this is a great post, thank you. I had completely misunderstood the value of insoluble fiber -- I always thought any fiber was good for keeping it moving. Soluble fiber I knew had the added benefit of reducing cholesterol (and possibly gut flora health), but in terms of just poop, that they...

I got a DEXA scan today! I checked Groupon last night, and found one near me for $67 with immediate openings. Overall it was much more interesting and valuable than I had anticipated. The guy who went through the results seemed very knowledgeable, and my finely tuned BS and woo-woo detector...

I had not considered that idea, thanks... I'll see what I can find!

Well I officially hit my goal today... -17%, weight 165.x, BMI 24.5. It took 25 weeks, with the first 12 on 2.0 mg reta and the remainder on 3.0 mg. But I still have a pot belly/spare tire. I still feel kinda fat, honestly. So I guess I keep going? I think you cannot target exercise to reduce...

How any medicine works is a game of odds, and when you read postings here you are not getting an even, scientific sample of experiences.

If you did not make those yourself, you should consider getting a 3d printer.

Waiting for a tariff note from the shipper and doing that payment and hoping the bureaucracy doesn't mess it all up... Not looking forward to that even if the tariff fee is minimal. Our vendors better step up their USA warehousing efforts. I want them to deal with all the gov't hassles.

Grody to the max!

4 lbs of human body fat takes up about 2L of volume. Divide the pounds you have lost by 4, and imagine that many 2L soda bottles rolling around your feet. That's how much less you there is now. Congratulations everyone. :)
