Taking my exam next month. i took it twice already and scored 19 (aug 2025), and 20(jan 2026). i've used inman in past but didnt like it. i used the all access pdf book to write all my notes and then currently using pocket prep and eat right prep to do practice questions and also am taking notes on all the questions im getting right and wrong and studying those as well. my mock exams practice tests and simulated tests are ranging from 70-85% avg and i do retake them after a few weeeks in which the score increases. Idk im having so many seconds thought cuz am i over studying? i dont even know if im ready i never fully feel confident whenever i take practice tests. i'm confused on how others have used the same materials to study and pass within a month of studying and ive been studying for a long time. i've been exposed to many questions and have a great idea of how the questions will be like on the real exam but idk im not feeling confident no matter how much i study. Does anyone have any tips on pocket prep and eat right prep?

Is anyone going to slander on july 10? Going with one other person but we want to caltrain back home lol. Is it possible to make it on time or do you think we'd have to leave slander early to make it to 4th station? If anyone else is taking caltrain would love to take it back with you lollll

My friend and I are going to slander on july 10 and we're debating on taking caltrain back but don't know if we'll have enough time to catch an uber after the show. Also don't know when the show will be over and if we'll even make it to caltrain in time.

Is anyone else going with a small group or solo? We can maybe meet up or plan something! I just wanna get my ass home after slander and don't want to stay in SF Hahha

Please explain this to me because someone in my cohort passed and only studied for one month. And i've been studying for 2 years. Am i doing something wrong? There's no way people could have learned everything that i'm actively learning still in a few weeks.

hiii! i've been studying for a while now and would love to talk to others who are also studying and maybe we can study together on zoom? let me know if anyone would want to do that!

i'm just so confused on how to lose weight i've done everything and literally just gaining weight.

years ago i had high testosterone and dhea but i just did labs and my dhea was high and my testosterone was normal (not free one just regular), my insulin was normal and was fasting and same as cortisol am was normal. i have thick body hair everywhere my inner thighs my chest around my boobs my face, i work out 3-4x a week strength training, i don't do cardio which im trying to incorporate. i eat decent and i can def do better with carb balance but as a south asian girl its really hard to because our foods are all rice and roti heavy. i take vit d, mag glycinate, zinc, and fish oil. i used to take inositol but i stopped cuz i didn't notice any durastic changes and tbh i dont know if it worked, maybe a bit but for weight, nothing.

my doctor is not helping me and keep telling me to go on birth control and metformin no matter how much i fight it and they know my main concern has been weight and that i dont wanna take a medication that may cause more weight gain when im already overweight. im 5'4 25 yo and 182 lb. im going crazy and depressed bc of this

i am literally gaining weight everyday and the scale does not go down no matter what i do and i know about fluctuations and retention and everything but regardless of that i am still gaining. i've been going to the gym for years now, strength training 3-4x a week. i eat or try to eat as good as i can but im still gaining weight?? does anyone know of any personal trainers that are actually affordable? idk how else i'm supposed to structure my workouts. i do upper lower split - back biceps, quads, glutes and hamstrings, and shoulder chest. i just don't know why im gaining so much fat around my stomach. my clothes are just getting tighter and tighter. i'm 184 lbs and im not even joking i gained 9 lbs in one week ONE WEEK and the weight has not gone down at all

my doctor told me i had suspected pcos but never followed up with me or discussed anything with me. i've been to two endocrinologists and both of them have told me to do birth control metformin and spirinolactone. i've expressed many times that i do not want to take the medication route bc i have a fear of gaining more weight on birth control when weight rn is my main concern. i have high testosterone and dhea, i have facial hair (which i've been doing electrolysis for the past few years), i have thick body hair inbetween my chest and thicker hairs on my legs and inner thighs. i also have those neck lines. i am bloated constantly and my weight just keeps increasing no matter what i do. i've heaten healthy i go to the gym and strength train. i dont go crazy heavy since ik it can make my cortisol worse. i am pretty stressed because im not working rn and just some life stuffs

i just dont know what to do. i've worked with a dietitian in the past and idk if it worked like he's i post weight but idk if that was bc i was eating less? whn im on my period or right beofre my weight goes up like 6 pounds and stays there. in april 2025 i was 160ish lbs. and a week later i went to 174 lb. no idea why. then i've stayed between 177-180lb for the remainder of the year. i recently got my period and a week before i jumped from 178 to 186 lb. i figured it was bc of my period cuz that normally happens. but now that im on my period that weight is not dropping at all. how in the heck did i gain that much weight in a matter of a week mind u im going to the gym and trying to eat as good as i can. i hav been eating a bit poorly at night bc ive been stressed but i can change that.

do i make an appointment with my family physician doctor so she can refer me to another endocrinologist or someone else? we have a weight specialist doctor as well but is that even worth it for pcos. they said i have suspected but i really think i have it bc my body reacts the same way pcos does. my periods are regular but my labs and symptoms say otherwise.

literaly plz tell me what to do im going crazy and getting so depressed cuz ive literaly been doing everything
