I felt the need to post about this because it actually got me emotional realizing just how much of a difference this drug has been making in my life and I'm just getting started. I am only on week 6, so my second shot of 5mg just occurred this passed Saturday. I've lost a total of around 25 lbs so far. I started at 467, and am down to 442~, and noticing so many big changes already even on the low dosage.

I made myself lunch today and tallied up the calorie count at 302 calories.

My normal taco bell order if I ordered out varied, but one of the common orders was a supreme luxe box (chicken chalupa, beefy 5 layer burrito, soft taco, large baja blast, cinna twists), plus a beefy loaded potato griller. Sometimes I'd order more..

For the box, I'd add spicy ranch to the chalupa, remove beans, but add potatoes and chipotle sauce to the 5 layer burrito, and didnt eat the cinna twists. This combo including the extra burrito totals out to 2070 calories.

For lunch today I made 2 small tuna wraps. Ingredients were 1/2 cup of Basmati Rice (130~ cal), 1 can of albacore tuna (110 cal), 1.5 tbsp kewpie mayo (150 cal), 1 tbsp sriracha (5 cal), 1 tbsp furikake seasoning (30 cal), some chopped green onions, two fajita sized carb balance tortillas (45 cal ea, 90 total), and some spinach. The tuna mixture came out to 425 cal, but I only used half of it for the two wraps.

Just thought I'd share this NSV with y'all and maybe add another voice to the bunch to prove just how life changing this medication is. <3

Edit: I almost forgot, sometimes I'd get a Cheesy Gordita Crunch in addition to the above food due to their rewards system, and I'd eat that too! That's another 480 calories!

Hello, and well met all you lovely DMs out there! Please see below for information about our group and what we're looking for!

Timeslot: Tuesdays at 6:30PM EST -- This is a hard requirement.

Who we are: We are a group who met through a previous campaign with another DM, but unfortunately that campaign fell through. We are an eclectic bunch, but our differences are our strengths as we all work well together and compliment each other's play styles. The previous campaign was quite fun, so we decided to stick together.

What we are looking for: A long term weekly campaign with equal opportunities for narrative storytelling, exploration, combat, and everything in between. Preferably a medieval setting (nothing modern/futuristic/sci-fi), but it can be either officially sourced or homebrew for the actual setting.

What we would like in a DM: An experienced DM that encourages and facilitates a good collaborative story. The ability and willingness to work with the players to incorporate our character's stories into the narrative of the campaign in some way. We are more than happy to work with you to make this as easy and seamless as it can be.

--Other Preferences--

Must Be Okay With: LGBTQ+ / BIPOC / Men / Women

RP:Combat Ratio: I'd say 60:40 to 70:30 would be a healthy mix. We can discuss further with you to find a good spot for everyone.

Difficulty: We don't want any "on wheels" gameplay, and we're perfectly ok with combat where there are potentially high stakes and death being possible. However, that's not to say that we want every combat to be a life or death experience. If it makes sense for the fight to be hard narratively, that would be more interesting and enjoyable than every fight being a fight for our life.

Homebrew: We are willing to participate in a homebrew world with any house rules the DM chooses, and would leave the allowance of homebrew classes/subclasses up to the DM, but not opposed to using them.

System: 2024/2014 5e. We have a preference for 2024, but 2014 is okay (or a mix as some seem to do)

VTT Preference: We have the most familiarity with Foundry, but would be open to others.

Cams On/Off: If possible, we prefer to play with our cams on as it allows us to better respond and react to one another if we can see the person we are talking to.

Starting Level: Prefer level 3, but can discuss with the DM

Stats: Point Buy or Standard Array preferred

What we do NOT want: Paid games, modern/futuristic/scifi settings, obvious railroading.
