Currently driving a 2014 BRZ, have owned for about 1.5 years. Looking to sell it and buy a more suitable daily but still keen to stick with jdm. Always liked subies but I’m open to suggestions.

Nothing wrong with the BRZ, just a bit bored now. Never wanted this to be a project car so no real use for it and feel like I need a change now to something cheaper to run.

Budget around 10-15k. Living centrally in Auckland so looking for auto rather than manual. Love the look of an older Lexus IS200 but price / kms for most on the market isn’t great so probably wouldn’t go there.

What do you recommend?

Edit: I’m not looking at getting an is200 I know it’s a worse off option, just like the way they look

Just wanted to check with you guys if it’s normal for the medicine to feel less effective the days leading up to the next dose? Also, did anyone increase their dosage with the doctor after 1-2 weeks or were they strict on waiting the full 4 weeks?

I started on 0.25mg of WeGovy 4 days ago and saw an immediate shift in my mindset, it was insane how quickly the food noise went away. Almost made me feel a bit sad that this is what’s meant to be “normal” and I’ve been struggling for so long.

Anyway, now coming to the end of day 4, I’ve noticed now that the cravings and food noise are slightly creeping back up again. Still not as bad as they were, but I’ve definitely been thinking about food more again.

The title basically says it all, but I’m hoping some of you might be able to encourage me. I’ve seen all the transformation posts on here and the difference is significant, but I can’t help feeling that I’ll be the exception. You are all truly so inspirational, and I am overjoyed at the relief you’ve found in this medicine.

In my adult life I have never been less than 100kg. I’ve always sat between 100-115 and as a female in her mid 20’s who is also 6ft tall, being overweight just adds to the whole idea that I will forever be, the biggest person in the room.

I’ve bit the bullet and will be starting WeGovy soon, but honestly I’m terrified that it won’t work, that the food noise won’t stop, that I will never stop eating because I’m bored or waiting until I want to vomit before recognising that I’m full. I can’t picture a life where being overweight isn’t on my mind 24/7, it’s like that doesn’t exist in my realm of understanding and that it’s simply just not possible for me.

I don’t mean to rant, but I guess I’m just looking for other people who felt like this before starting the process. I don’t want to feel alone in this especially when being big is such an isolating feeling already. How did you all feel before you started, and where is your mindset now?
