Is this a plateau?

F26. I feel like I hit a plateau . I started tirz in January 2026, I started with 0.5mg, worked my way up to 1mg. I know this is a pretty low dosage but it did help, and I was trying not to deal with too much side effects or lose skin .
I started at 71kgs , currently at 62kgs .
I’d like to drop another 5-10kgs but for the past 1 and a half months I can’t seem to move past 62.
I have tried increasing the dosage to 1.5mgs for the last 4 weeks and still nothing .
I have always been a gym person for the last 3yrs so I do have muscle . I hit the gym about 3-4 days a week. For 2-3hrs a day
My height is 155cm or 5’1 .
Does this seem like a plateau? What can I do to go further in my journey?

Advice for the double joint masters at MUI and MCI

MUI and MCI have a joint masters program- specifically masters in biotechnology (MCI) and masters in molecular medicine (MUI) the joint program is 3yrs long.
I did show my interest for the program when applying to MCI and luckily enough I got into MCI
However when sending my application to MUI I see the instructions are that you have to do their interview in person.
But I am an international student I don’t think I could possibly fly in all the way just to do the interview.
Has any international student had any luck getting into the double masters program ? How did you go about it?
I did try to send emails to the school but I was met with : all the information is on the website (which says that the interviews have to be physical)

What’s wrong with that kid? Is she sick or just bad eating habits

This is just pure gossip but I’m really curious. I will not be posting any images of that kid but she belongs to that weight loss celebrity who had some marital feuds with some nurse over her husband. I hope you got it till that point .
I noticed one of her kids (just check on instagram you’ll see which one) is just constantly expanding . Like obese level of bloating. She now resorts to closing her comments certainly because people will have all sorts of opinions.
Now I feel that if it was food related conditions all her kids would be like that??? Or not? Idk ! What do y’all think is up with her? Did she ever talk about it at some point?

What you need to know about Macarons visit

Macaron is out here claiming to be a pan Africanist lol . And here is why it’s rubbing people off the wrong way.I will also explain why it should concern you as mwanachi wa Kawaida.

Pan-Africanism historically grew as a movement for African self-determination, often against European control. So when Emmanuel Macron uses language like that, many hear it as tone-deaf at best, opportunistic at worst.

Macron came to Kenya to secure political influence and business deals for France in East Africa. Kenya is being used as a strategic partner because France has lost a lot of goodwill and leverage in parts of West Africa like Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, where anti-French sentiment has grown sharply and several governments have pushed out French military presence.

In terms of nduma kuwili or kuuma na kupulizia France is saying we’re not here to control you , we’re here to invest . Aki woyie Nipee, kichwa tu .
But then you watch the tone they were speaking to crowds in , one guy even yelling at people for not being let into a specific room, Kenyans are now wondering what do these guys know that is giving them that level of confidence in our soil.
Ukiona mwanaume anakuongelesha vile anataka in front of your wife there’s something he knows that you don’t .

The actual visit was centered on signing 11+ agreements with Kenya in areas like:transport,ports,energy,digital infrastructure,agriculture,financing for large public projects. Sijui niaje discovery of certain minerals in a certain region where people are currently being evacuated is not being mentioned .
Anyway ,That means French companies get access to Kenyan markets, contracts, infrastructure projects, and long-term influence in sectors that matter to the economy, our economy.

And this is where our biggest concern is as Kenyans . This neocolonialism, where modern countries gain influence by giving us small things in exchange for policies that squeeze life out of us. What seemed like a gift now turns to be a debt we can barely afford.

And ofcos I know it could help the economy in many ways.If deals are transparent and negotiated well, our country can benefit. If leadership is corrupt or desperate for political wins, citizens will carry the cost through taxes, debt, privatization, or overpriced projects. Na si sisi tunajua where we stand? Tumetenga …..

So West Africa has chased Macaron away but Kasongo sees it as a good opportunity?
Mhhhh !!!
Interesting times .

Hallo,

I was wondering some of the most popular businesses that students ;(local or international) do in Innsbruck to get by. - please note I am not talking about jobs / employment-

Businesses. Can even be small like braiding , waxing , nails, doing assignments for others etc.

id also like to know if they are required to have certain permits for these or how they go about it .

I’m trying to understand if the student market in Innsbruck is big enough or good enough for one to get by ;(paying small bills like rent and utilities)
