It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What is bro is not fat? I'm currently around 285 freedom weights and have about a 34 inch waist ATM.

Mate, you're from Brisbane, same as me, so of course we're chiselled titans. OP on the other hand is posting in both Linux and Elderscrolls subforums and complaining about his flag-waving HOA, there's no way he's 105kg of muscle.

I use Linux, have played multiple Elder Scrolls games, but weigh 215 and have a 34" waist. Am suburban American. I don't take any injections or use any medication either. I bet there are lots of Americans who are in better shape than you would suggest, but even if OP isn't, it's not your place to judge.

Google says that the average American has a body fat around 28% but the benchmark for obesity is 25%. On average my claim is true.

I refer you to my previous comment, now cut that shit out or you'll earn yourself a ban.

Hahhaha, good point! Also hey fellow Brissy human!! Seems there is a reasonable number of us on here these days!

Also legit question, what was your experience like using semaglutide? Seems you got good results! And nice work with that., But while using it, no gnarly sides or other less than stellar symptoms etc?

Yo man!! Yeah I didn't know lemmy was popular here! I'd go to a meet if someone else organised it 😁

So I was 92kg, but my snoring starts kicking in when I'm over 90kg. Went to doc and he put me on the lowest dose of Monjaro (2.5mg). I found that was way too much, so I dropped the pen to 20 clicks (full dose is 30), so 2/3rds dose each time. Full dose almost made me pass out at work, I just had zero appetite.

I work from home and exercise often, but my snack impulse is very strong, especially when training hard. I found on 2/3rds dose that my snack impulse was significantly suppressed, but I didn't have the negative effects others were having around insomnia etc. Working from home, the fridge is always open, and I have returned to snacking now, but my weight has stabilised at 88kg after just the one pen.

Doc gave me a single repeat, and once life calms down a bit, I'll try using it again to go lower. For my height the absolute optimal weight for longevity is around 81kg, so I may use or or two more repeats to get there. I'd never bother trying to lose weight without it again, it made the whole thing so much easier, and I probably saved the cost of the pen on junk food/restaurants. I also wanted to break up its use with some time off to wean my body off the extra hormone, as the standard arrangement is to keep cranking up the strength of the pen as the body gets used to it. Right now I'm 6 weeks since I stopped taking it, and admittedly I've put 1kg back on, but I've also added 15kg to my squat.

Overall, 5 stars, it's absolutely unreal. I paid $279AUD for the 1 pen, and got back $80AUD from my extras health cover.

Oh man, that's very interesting to hear, thanks for sharing, and awesome results for you!! And hey, 1kg bodyweight for an extra 15 on the squat! That's some good freaking numbers. You have any idea of composition breakdown, as in, is that 1kg of bodyweight mostly muscle or not?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't been tracking my body composition sorry. But thanks :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Haha all g, best not to fall into that level of tracking yourself IMHO, can easily lead to head fucking yourself, been there done that, Still working on getting out of bad headspace on it all. Bodyweight weight down and squats increasing, solid metric I think!
