Your Burning Questions About GLP-1 Weightloss Answered LIVE! 

Congrats on your success! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much RL!!!😍😍😍

I love getting ideas from talking with others on these GLP-1s too! Definitely a miracle / game changer!

Thanks! I did love that gold dress. Got it at a store called Charming Charlie’s , which is now out of business 😕

All of the telehealth providers use a variety compounding pharmacies - we know they also use redrock and empower - plus they made the announcement on Aequita not long ago All of ours have come from hallendale so far

Did you get that cool thermos thing?

@@thedownsizedfunny there are a bunch of people talking on Reddit about how Aequita has sent them otter pops with there meds inside the thermos lol some people like it and some are mad 😅

Whoop whoop! YES! :)

Thanks I will! I’m still trying to figure out maintenance. 👩‍🔧 I’ve never tried to maintain my weight before!

Keepin it real over here! 😛

lol thanks! 😘

Yay! 🎉

🥳 yay! What dose are you taking for maintenance?

@@thedownsized I am taking the 7.5 mg, that has been my highest dose, and right now I want to loose another 3 pounds. Just starting to dip my toes into the maintenance game.. a little scary.. I have lost 30 pounds and just don’t want them back🙃!

I understand! I was as high as 12.5mg. Now back down to 7.5mg. I’m thinking maybe I want to lose 3 more and get to 140? I just want to have more wiggle room.

Yes healthy fats are definitely important. We cook with Olive oil. And when I say we I mean Christopher 😜. 3 cups of veggies is a lot!

Hi! Thanks for watching! I've done cruises where I skipped the shot for that week, and I've done other ones where I took the shot the day before we left. For our next cruise in July I am going to take the shot on Friday, and then Saturday we will drive to FL. Cruise ends Thursday, and I will be home to take my next shot on Friday. For breakfast and lunch onboard we do the buffet. You physically won't be able to eat much - so eat protein first. If you're in the restaurants, order something with protein and just eat what you can. You never have to finish your plate - especially if you don't like something. I love desserts so I look at everything and pick 1 thing a day to try. I usually take a couple bites and don't want anymore than that. Take your big water cup and fill it up at the buffet in the morning. Refill it throughout the day. I also buy bottles of water online with the cruise line before the cruise and have them delivered to the stateroom. It's not very expensive, and that way I am reminded to drink water. Take your walking shoes and get your steps in walking around the ship or at the gym. When the boat docks get off and look around if you aren't doing excursions. Those are my best tips! Have fun!

@@thedownsized What happened when you tried to drink alcohol? Are you just not able to or did it make you feel sick? I usually only drink when I am on cruises.

Ok so if I am on the shot - I can only have 1 or 2 drinks. I was a big wine drinker, but it makes me sick now. So something vodka based and not too sweet , and only 1 or 2, or I feel like I'm going to throw up. If you're on Carnival I love the Cucumber Sunrise cocktail from the Alchemy Bar. If I skip the shot, I can have a few more but still need to be careful.

It works! 😍I think if I were them I’d just keep my head down and hope they don’t notice me. 😎

I too use Mochi, and asked about availability once shortages are over, and what they said, is they will slightly modify the compound by adding vitamins etc. when that time comes. Some compounding pharmacies already add B vitamins, I have heard. So that will keep the reputable compounders available. Being on Medicare, and not a T2D, I will probably never have coverage, so I am in it for the cost savings.

@@maryequilter31 I am in the same boat as you are. Medicare and no T2D, but I am genetically at risk. This medication is a preventive medication for those of us who are genetically at risk for certain diseases. I exercise and eat right, but at times will majorly indulge and have a problem with portion control, so i need to lose 40lbs. I use to wt way more than I do now, but it is getting harder to lose it and then avoid the inevitable relapse. This is the next major area researchers need to understand is we need help not just with the wt loss, but with the relapse.

Thank you! I have actually lost alot of hair - but I had ALOT to start with so you can't really tell. I have started using better shampoo - I use Nexxus Shampoo and Conditioner, and It's a 10 Blowout cream. I sleep with my hair in a satin scrunchy too. I also stopped shampooing every day - now I only shampoo every 3-4 days or so. I'll link my hair fave's on thedownsized.org

@@thedownsized Thank you!

Loraine it is true that the pen is stronger than the compound??

Christopher has taken both and saw no difference in effectiveness or side effects

@@thedownsized the cost is zep $550.00 original /month and mochi $404.00 compound / month any dose

That sounds about right

🤩🤩🤩

EXACTLY! 😝

This is Laraine - I try to get 80-100 g/ day. Today I got about 60. It’s hard! I think tracking can be helpful- if it works for you, do it :)

@@thedownsized I try

lol did I say that? 😂
