My Capstone for Human Services started Monday.

I honestly can’t believe I am going to be a college graduate soon!!!!! I’m hoping I can make it to graduation, I’m in MA and travel isn’t the issue, I have a son with Down Syndrome and I am a solo parent. I’d have to stay overnight, going up the day prior to ensure I got there on time so I’m not sure I will have someone to stay with my son. I’d love to have him come since me and him are so close and I did this for him and myself but I don’t think he would last through the ceremony. I don’t want to miss it considering this is something I thought I would never be able to do but I guess if I have to attend virtually then it just is what it is.

Thanks for letting me vent and share.

Woo Hoo 🎉

I was on a GLP-1 last year. I got a year prescription in Feb and by Aug/Sept I lost 40 pounds and was at my goal weight.y prescription went until Jan 2026. I didn’t lose any more weight through those last months. I didn’t refill because I couldn’t afford it. Fast forward to April 2026 and I had gained 15 pounds back - so disappointed in myself. So I ordered again, a 6 month prescription expecting the same results.

Well I started April 18th and I have lost 1 pound!!!!! I am so beyond frustrated. I’ve spoke to my care team and told them my concerns about it not working and maybe switching bc maybe my body just isn’t responding to the same med again. I am at 30 units (0.75 mg) for the next 4 weeks then I move to 60 (1.25mg). I am hoping that it just is taking longer and once I reach 60 and higher that I will start losing and have a reduction in the food noise (so far that hasn’t really quieted down). I’m nervous and frustrated that 1. I spent the money and it isn’t going to work and 2. It will start working good at the high dose but then I won’t be able to afford a refill. Last year at this point I had already lost 12 pounds for reference.

My question is to others out there who stopped and restarted, did this type of thing happen to you? If so what if anything did you do to help things move along? Am I just being impatient? I mean I am only basing my thoughts on my experience last year.

I apologize for such a long post but if you’ve made this far please let me know if you have any advice or thoughts or just anything that might make me feel better. My stats were/are:
SW (Feb 2025) 163 / End Weight 124.
Gained 15 back (Jan 2026 - March 2026)
restart SW (April 18th 2026) 140/ 6 weeks on med and I have lost 1 pound !!!

Almost Done
