    Smart Scale Upgrade - Worth it?

    I got a basic one for about $75. Just a scale, don't trust the other metrics.

    Smart Scale Upgrade - Worth it?

    My current scale is good for weight. The other measurements are just random numbers. I use the body scanner at my gym instead.

    Smart Scale Upgrade - Worth it?

    I just got one for the holidays. I like it. Any of the big brands are likely good. Just find a good price and don't expect it to be perfectly accurate. It's for tracking trends.

    Almost at my goal! 🎉

    I've noticed that sometimes people hesitate to comment on weight loss in case they feel the urge to say "not that you looked bad before." It can be a delicate topic unless you're close to the person.

    Congratulations! The before and after pics are still the same person, but that former person reminds me to keep up the good work every day.

    Reconstituting with my insulin syringes - okay?

    For every 2 mg of peptide, use 1 ml of bac water. So, for 5mg, add 2.5 ml. Then, every 5 units on your insulin syringe will equal 100 mcg.

    Reconstituting with my insulin syringes - okay?

    Here's a tip: Use two. Take the plunger out of one syringe and use it to vent the vial. Makes it easier to draw.

    Ozempic prices too damn high!

    Our supplier crept up to double-digit markups pretty quick. October I locked in a couple kits at sane prices. Now everything's north of that. Hope it settles back down, but market might have found a comfortable spot at these rates.

    Hair loss can sometimes occur with rapid weight loss, regardless of the method. Ensure you're getting enough protein and essential nutrients. Consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.

    GLP-1 prices drop?

    Docs are saying that cheaper options should be available eventually as there are several generic brands awaiting approval, and once approved these generics could be approximately 65% cheaper than what is currently available. The name brand may also drop to compete. But generics will be the...

    GLP-1 prices drop?

    Research was happening long before modern pharmaceutical companies.

    GLP-1 prices drop?

    Government involvement always makes it political. The real issue is that society sees obesity as a moral failing, not a medical one. That's why weight loss drugs aren't covered. The high price just gives insurance companies an excuse. Fat shaming is how they get away with it.

    GLP-1 prices drop?

    The grey market is eating into GLP-1 profits, which is a problem that will only get worse. They can't stop importation into the US, their most profitable market. So, they need to expand insurance coverage, starting with Medicaid and Medicare. Newer versions won't necessarily lower prices...
