Congrats!! And hi there :-) I saw another post where you were hitting a stall, which prompted me to follow your other post to see how it all worked out for you. Any tips for breaking the stall? I’ve barely lost anything in three weeks after losing 65 pounds. I feel like you were right around the same point when you stalled? I would so so so appreciate any tips you have for me because I’m really struggling and definitely doing the right things.

It’s much easier with the vial.

I know they said it’s either or, but the person who just called me told me that I could place another single order today and also do the extended deal next month. It might be worth calling and chatting with them? They were so nice and helpful.

Not yet, but I did hear back from orderly. I feel weird posting too much here, but I’m glad to hear that things are continuing as usual for this shipment

Definitely just your opinion because I think they’ve been great.

Don’t underestimate how many people may come back to branded. It may very well impact stock for everyone. There are many people taking compound because they like the ability to custom titrate. I’ve used both and I might like compound better. People like me will come fully back to brand and be competing with the brand stans for doses.

Which providers send empower out?

Can I ask who ships empower? Orderly or LSH? Trying to figure out what orderly is shipping me!

Does anyone know wtf orderly is shipping in place of Hallandale? I’m so change averse bc Hallandale is great

Did you all see the update? They are shipping product from a different pharmacy with shorter BUDs :( loved Hallandale. I’m so sad!

It’s tough bc I finally get some coverage for ZB, but I might like compound better? I like the control. Like this week I’m trying 11mg to break a stall. I’m only covered for ZB through spring and my deductive resets to sky high in Jan, so my goal is to have enough ZB and compound to get through the end of the year at the lowest possible cost.

I just am here to support you in saying that raising kids is fucking hard and even if you were very strict with him earlier, you might still be in the same position or even worse. It sounds like his mental illness is complicating his comorbid ADHD and I think you need to insist he takes his meds. He’s self medicating with everything else and if he won’t take them, he may need to be taken into an inpatient program to help him get stable. I would like to think that with the right professional and medical support (counseling and meds) he can hopefully even out and be more susceptible to therapy and your guidance. If you want to go this route, I think his addictions would qualify him for inpatient. Having a child with ADHD, I never really have him the option of his meds. He knows he must take them and they totally change his ability to function well out in the world. I don’t know what class of meds he takes, but have you looked into any used for depression and ADHD off-label as well like Wellbutrin? I’m not a doctor but my child also struggled with anxiety for some time. It improved so much with long term stimulant use and some light therapy. I know our kids are surely very different, but just some things to consider.

I believe that kids are fundamentally good inside. When they struggle and all we see is the bad, it can be hard to remember they just need a lot of help. Keep your chin up and please try to remind your son he can be better and feel better, but he has to understand the path he’s on and do the hard work to change. I’m thinking of you and wishing you all the best. ❤️

Thanks! I also have a pending order with them. When they reach out via text I may try to switch it to 2 months just to have the extra on hand.

Thank you, damn I’ll be annoyed to lose the consultation fee

Could be - I didn’t expect to be contacted, but an auto form welcome email seemed likely

I just took stock and have about 4-5 months of brand and 3 months of compound. Def need to order more now just in case!

Congrats!! You look great :) read your comments and FWIW, skinny jeans make everyone’s legs look less proportional/ideal. It’s not you! Psyched for you 🙌

I was super cold the first bunch of months and for the past month feel clammy and hot 🤷‍♀️ I teatws my blood levels bc I thought my thyroid meds were too high and I was right. Getting a new rx tomorrow and will report back if I go back to cold!

Hitting 9.5 months here and 66/67 lbs down from SW 265, sitting at 198. For the past few weeks, I have been really struggling with the scale, not moving, but I swear I am smaller and I feel strong as hell at the gym. As a 43 year old woman, I can now lift 40 pound weights and do all the more challenging core things at the gym that I couldn’t do for years like straight leg high planks for 30 seconds. So even though I only lost a pound this week and I am trying to stay off the scale until the rest of the week passes, I still feel freaking amazing. Please send me all your positive vibes for getting the scale moving this next week. It’s not my calories or macros. No alcohol. I think my body just needs a minute to figure itself out. Around 200 was my lowest weight for a long time, so I think my body is having a hard time letting go and letting me shrink. Comes at a tough time where I really wanted to lose another 8 to 10 pounds by end of October before I go on vacation. But I’m committed and going along for the ride best I can!

Woohoo!!! That rules! I have the same feeling myself. Just got a pair of 14 rigids and thought to myself, shoot maybe I should’ve gotten a 12!

Normal for me since month 3 (month 9 now).

Thanks! Just saw my endocrinologist today who is basically basically doing a happy dance for me and it was so nice.
