It can be done. Well done brother!

Congrats on your progress, that is awesome! Tirz was an absolute game changer for me, not just the WL but the many other benefits. I took a break from it, but now back to it and hoping I respond as good or better this 2nd round. Keep going!

Thanks everybody for the outpouring of support! And for those of you that are on a similar path, keep going, you got this!! Things I've noticed have been no more joint pain even after a heavy session at the gym. Inflammation is gone, brain fog is gone. I do find myself constantly adjusting the seat in my truck to find a new and comfortable position. I do feel as if I have body dysmorphia issues. Although I've heard it takes a bit for your brain to catch up and register the drastic changes. That part is weird. But I still have a ways to go yet.

These scales rely entirely on electrical conductivity, hydration is the single biggest variable. Weighing in right after a heavy workout (when you're dehydrated) or after drinking a lot of water will temporarily skew the resistance. I take my measurements first thing in the morning before eating, drinking, or training. Also a 4 electrode is not nearly as accurate as an 8. The 4 is estimating your upper mass with an algorithm. The 8 sends the current through your whole body. I love these scales for trends but would not use it for anything that requires an accurate number.

Hit an "Unrealistic Goal". Got on the scale today and I'm 198 pounds. Seeing the scale go under 200 pounds for the first time in 30+ years is amazing. I was a teenager the last time I was under 200 pounds. This felt so unrealistic at the beginning of all of this but here we are. Coming to the end of the first 30 days of a 90 recomp. My daily steps have increased from 5k-8k a day up to a minimum of 11k a day. Im getting up and doing 2 miles before work. Running multiple days a week. Resistance training 4 days a week. The level of intensity and discipline needed to continue hitting these goals has increased immensely. Its really hard and challenging but so rewarding. So Happy Friday. Set some unrealistic goals for this Fall and do what you know needs to be done to hit them.

This is awesome! You’re doing great. I’ll bet your pants fit better and your belt is a notch tighter. The belly fat will come off soon enough. The first person in the elevator is usually the last person to get off.

ordered it myself @damic That's what I did for my as vet was ultra conservative about ordering labs (they try to save insurance money, God knows why). But now that subclinical Hashimoto has got detected, will demand the vet to prescribe follow up blood work using pet insurance in another few months while putting on some pepper pickles. Hopefully vet agrees else will order independently. Yeah capitalism and free markets rock! And you are absolutely right about normal T3, T4 being misleading. That's how it was for my rat.

@ResearchCat That's a very creative and GREAT idea! I'm gonna try it! Thanks!

Looks delicious!! I make overnight oats with the Greek Yogurt, Blueberries, bananas, oats, chia, flaxseed and vanilla protein.

@MyB I'm a little relieved that other people are having better experiences with the scale, and maybe mine was just caught in a bad firmware like you mentioned. I was ready to give it another shot but after reaching out to their support to ask questions I wasn't treated particularly well, so making the choice to return it was much easier. I guess I'm hoping that maybe there was another option that the community as a whole really enjoys using. If it comes to be that the Hume is the best you can get at home, I'd be tempted to give it another try in the future. Thanks your sharing!

Sweet, it is Ulta...which is what I was going to go with. Thanks!

@WisGal64 said: @smash4000 heres a good article https://www.drugs.com/sfx/tesamorelin-side-effects.html @wisgal64 Thank you for catching that; better info for @smash4000 too. Please see my thread on Survodutide as an alternate for Tirzep, which might have a few of the benefits of Tesa, which I cannot give kitty. No way with her conditions. Don't want to discuss on your Bedtime Stack thread due to different subject. Thank you again!

The inhaler isn’t the same since they had to change the propellant. It burns so bad, even when used with a tube. They also don’t hold pressure for long periods like the old ones. You can mad scientist recharge them with a butane can when the zombie apocalypse hits.

Figured since this was a dead area that I would add something Strength training is one of the best things that you can do for longevity. 5/3/1 is a great program and the link below has a fantastic program generator https://blackironbeast.com/5/3/1/calculator
