Hey all,

My employer has made the decision to stop covering GLP-1 for weight loss. I do not have any conditions that qualify for medical exceptions.

I am really disappointed as my progress on this has been so good, and I am losing weight. This has helped me in numerous other ways, with anxiety, and other parts of my health that I was not anticipating.

—

What I am wondering is if folks have found alternative ways to subsidize this medication. I make under 70k year so losing insurance coverage is really devastating to me.

I am wondering if folks have found bi-weekly dosages as being effective. I currently use 1.7, and I think I am a super responder.

What’s the consensus? Is weekly injection the only way?

So sad, mad, and yet still determined to find a way.

I want to be a healthier me. And I cannot even begin to express how this medication has helped my mental health. It’s mind blowing, and I think there’s more going on in my body that science really understands.

Weight gain is not a moral failure.

It’s that time of the month, all!

I’ve been working hard on trying to use my stash — I’ve got way too much and it is taking up more space than i want to give to candles, and I really want to change over to Kringle and soy candles moving forward.

As such, I’ve been trying to avoid acquiring new b&bw candles — I’ve been pretty good, and this month I burned more than I took in!

Between my burns, and a couple destash sales, my net use is at 10 for this month.
