Hi!

I’m a 5’5 33 year old woman.

In my early 20s I was around 125-135 with no weight issues no matter what I ate. In my later 20s I went up to 145-154 and started going to the gym and tracking my calories and stayed mostly in the 145 range.

During covid I went up to 160 then crash dieted in a very punishing way for my wedding in 2023 (idk what I got down to- probably just 145 again) but after I was stressed at work and burnt out from my crash diet and ballooned up to 180 in 2025. I was depressed and over drinking as well. Not like Gerard Depardieu levels but wine for comfort and not just for fun.

Summer of 2025 I lost 20lb naturally. I started a new birth control pill in the fall which made me gain back 10lb in a month (back to 170)

In March of this year I started the wegovy pill and now (June) I’m down to 153. My goal weight is 145 so I’m getting pretty close. 150 is the cutoff for a healthy BMI for my height (I also feel like women have a bit of leeway + I have scoliosis so technically I’m taller lol)

I feel pretty on top of my eating and exercise. I started an anti depressant last year which honestly helped the most w my weight loss. I just went on the wegovy pill bc I was frustrated with the 10lb I gained because of the birth control pill after my summer of hard work.

I’m starting to think about what weening off the pill will be like and I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences? I know it’s in me to gain weight but I’m not someone who’s struggled with my weight all my life you know? I have 2 refills left and the price is pretty rich for me at the moment.

I was so excited for the rose patterned swim suits. I saw from the original email that there was a bikini, two bikini bottoms, and a one piece in the pattern but on the US Rouje site now there’s only one bikini top and bottom option in the red rose.

I got some red dye transfer on my light wash jeans. I’ve gotten red dye transfer on a linen top in the past and I’ve used RIT dye remover on it and it worked great.

When I went to read the instructions I saw it said not to use on denim tho.

I’m sure it could mess up blue or black denim but this is a pretty light wash and faded from age.

What do you think?

I have a refund check that was mailed out on April 24. I called in May and said I never received it and they said to wait until June 8th. I’ve called the IRS every day since then and I haven’t been able to get through to talk to someone.

Do you think there’s a chance it will eventually show up on its own? I’ve only had one incoming package that’s gotten completely lost before. I’ve had a few incoming checks go ‘missing’ but I suspect those were more clients who forgot to mail them.

Do you think they’ll be of any help if I show up early to the post office?
