i knew that's what it was about all alongWhat would you enhance me with?
Thank you
Danish
No, like the other thread, only hypocrates like you Vern, who goes into others threads to lecture them about how peds are bad, while you drown yourself in so many steroids your brain have turned into a wasp-brain that feels the need to shoot aggressive posts of like a machine gun, because you feel someone is disrespecting you on the internet…so danish panties also has his own fatloss thread?
does he insult everyone taking peds here as well?
Well glad you finally found out what the thread is about.i knew that's what it was about all along
Well as long ss you are constructive instead of acting like an idiot, I’ll gladly spell it out for you or give you the pixie book version, all you have to do is askfuck, i can't even read one single post by danish panties... way too long and boring
This is such solid fucking advice that will almost assuredly be ignored by op. I’ve literally not seen him do anything beyond try and talk about how “glamorous” his past was and how “successful” he was while simultaneously talking about how weak, ill, sad, and downtrodden he is. It’s sad, and belies a clear need to explore his psychological self and get to the root of his self-loathing.Talking about your past accomplishments or what you’re going to accomplish is a cheap way to gain self gratification without actually putting in the work. Listen to The War of Art while you’re going for your walks, that will change your life too. Never take pride in what you’ve done, and especially on what you’re going to do. You should only take pride in action, the present moment, what you’re doing right now. Anything else will sabotage you, giving you hits of dopamine you haven’t earned. It poisons your dreams, insidiously lulling you into a sense of pride that only current action should provide. Everything must be earned.
Well first of all thank you for your post, the first one in here that is intended constructive at least!@DanishPanther , I never talked about this, but my Tirzepatide sat in my room for 3 months before I started. Some sort of mental block, I guess part of me didn’t want to change, even a shitty life is comfortable once you’re used to it.
You have way more knowledge about GLP-1s than I did starting out. You’ve done enough research, it’s time to pull the trigger. One advice I have is to start moving around now, not even hard workouts, just get your body used to moving again, and start changing your eating habits while you wait for your order. Even if you gain weight eating a ton of healthy food, your life will be so much easier once you get your GLP and start losing.
I almost tore a ligament day 2 because I went too hard, and I’m still struggling to put together good eating habits beyond CICO “eat the same dogshit poison you’re feeding yourself just less of it.” I’m around 50 pounds down, but I would have been much better off if I took the advice I just gave you. You will be more prone to injury once you’re severely limiting calories. Start building good habits now to have a solid foundation.
As far as this bickering back and forth with all these people goes, I deeply encourage you to watch and internalize this video. It changed my life 12 years ago, and it will change yours too if you allow it to.
Nothing anyone says can affect you if you don’t allow it to. It’s always your choice. Everything in your life is your responsibility. You need to start thinking about what actually matters and what will actually get you closer to your goals. All this bickering with does nothing for you.
Think objectively. What will you accomplish if you changed their minds, if they understood you? What will that do for you? Nothing. Forget about trying to prove yourself right, it’s a waste of time. I want you to be selfish. Any interaction that doesn’t add value to your life is opportunity wasted. Period. If you can separate yourself from the ego and emotion, you’ll find that even people that are nasty often leave golden nuggets of value you can benefit from. I usually find it best to quietly take the advice/value those people provide and ignore the bullshit.

Well, yah, you can’t maintain that forever. That’s an incredible deficit and an unforgiving cut. That said, if you can do that again, then do it!!! And then, when you feel you “can’t hold your breath” you can add in glp-1 to help you over that hump. You’ll have all the healthy habits already established and a routine you can continue to stick to. Then you’re using glp-1 as a tool, not a crutch.I had been running 3 x RFL living on 600 kcals pure chicken breast, green vegs and fishoil (and nothing else, without as much as a cheat meal) for 6 months each time, followed by a year maintenance period, but that eventually I ended up feeling like not being able to hold my breath for more than a year and a half at a time! And each of those times, I ended up 20 kg heavier than I had been before I started my diet!
No one’s body is built for this kind of weight. Yet you’ve demonstrates (4 times apparently) that you can loose it for a period of 18 months, so do it again.my body is not built for this kind of weight
You are getting these types of reactions because you are fucking insufferable in your responses and demeanor. My first comment to you about your over the top complaining was met with a paragraphs long rant about everything from how I’m blasting 18iu of gh and grams of test, how I look at pictures of men in their underwear (wtf btw), how successful and achieved you are, followed by how ill and trapped you feel (which was the only part of your response that felt genuine). No shit that gets met with “okay, well enjoy your shit situation you made for yourself.” You just come off as a pompous dude fishing for excuses for your failures with that behavior.3. The thread was about GLP-1s and complimentary peds ... there is no advice on that. ONLY, go to therapy, you are just to weak, we hope you die in your fat body ... type of shit!
This sounds like a nightmare. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I personally know over a dozen people of have killed themselves and know how tragic that is for families and loved ones, especially parents. My only suggestion here would be you I strongly feel you need to cut your unstable mother out of your and your daughter’s life to protect her. In this situation I think you can only truly be a parent to one party, and it’s clear which party that should be. I’m surprised your therapist has not been pushing you to cut your toxic mother off to protect your child honestly,My mother and daughter both suffer from Schizophrenia, and are committed to the idea of killing themselves together - and it's my full-time job besides everything else to keep them from doing so... It happens every 2 months or so because they are in denial of their sickness and won't take their meds ...
That’s just cause you don’t want to hear what I’m telling you, which is that it is your fault your body is this way and only you can fix it. Whatever excuses you have are just that, excuses. Yes, things are hard for you, but focusing on that does absolutely nothing to improve your situation. Throwing in glp-1 without a healthy foundation, or even working to build a healthy foundation, is just a waste imo. You will simply relapse weight, or have to stay on drugs perpetually that have very little to no long term health studies.to be honest, right now I can't see the difference between you and vern
Don’t reinvent the wheel here if you’re going to just jump in, nothing you’re doing is that special. Pick one glp-1 (I’d recommend tirz based on all the anecdotal reports) and stick with it following the cycle exactly as prescribed. You will see weight loss and food noise dissipation.In the other we now have Reta, which probably won't suppress what I need it to, at the doses I can afford - but keeps the metabolism running smothly.
Thank you for your post man.Tirz should definitely be your pick. If you're trying to be safe, going with Reta seems like a terrible idea with it still going through clinical trials. Tirz is great for weight loss and no energy issues on it.
Thank you, man, I'll move my answer into this post as well.Well, yah, you can’t maintain that forever. That’s an incredible deficit and an unforgiving cut.

Like others have said to you, if you dropped your narcissistic responses, quit whining, and actually took the fairly plentiful advice you’ve been given, than this whole forum would be in your corner.

Also, sorry to hear about your whore ex, got one too, is no fun.

Do what you’ve apparently done before, and get into that healthy routine, and then add in aids such as glp-1.
Also, you’re going to hate to hear this, but you should very likely get your test levels checked. At that weight, with your stress, and your lack of mobility, it would not be shocking if your test is in the gutter and estro over the moon. This would help explain your despair, lack of drive, and feelings of being trapped. There are non-aas interventions like hcg, hmg, and hgh that can help boost numbers into the normal to high normal range without the same level of systemic shutdown. Edit - you may also not want to hear this but it’s entirely possible with your lifestyle you’ve permanently damaged your adrenal system. You should see an endo for a workup assuming financial means. Diet, exercise, and supplements helped double my testosterone from when I was not as healthy, but I was far from where you are your levels may be far more damaged and harder to fix without direct intervention.
Edit - also, whoever suggested you get a coach to keep you accountable has given you the best suggestion out of everyone in your thread. You need someone to keep you accountable far more than you need drugs.
Edit edit - I moved this discussion from ShreadSeason’s thread to here because it’s about you.
The response was different from the rest is because you had been acting like a complete pompous asshole to people providing you solid and reasonable responses and support for your questions, it just wasn’t what you want to hear and responded with whining. I know you don’t want to call it whining, but I can go through this thread and find at least a half dozen clear examples, no contest necessary, of you blatantly whining. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow, I hated to admit when I was a whiny bitch full of excuses after my divorce.Well thank you for a mostly positive post ... I appreciate most you are saying here, man.
But listen, it's you who frames it all like I'm whining, it's so funny to me because I have never whined in my entire life, not even a single time felt sorry for myself.
I'm looking for medical solutions, not pity. (That's also why I hate even having to tell these things to anyone in here, it's none of others' business).
It's when you guys say: "Why are you asking about GLP-1, you don't need that, just man up and do it without any peds", that I'm just trying to explain the mechanisms behind my situation to guys like you, who assume way, way, way too much man.
You call it excuses but it's just the facts...
As for my situation, that's again so easy to suggest:
If I cut off my mother she is dead within a week, and I'm very close to her, so that's not going to be the choice I'll ever make... and sure all psychologists are telling me I need to keep no contact with both my mom and daughter, that I can't save them if I die myself anyways so that I should just let them go and live my life - but that's never going to be the choice I'll make ... it's not a war I'm giving up on... and neither is getting back in shape, rebuilding my business, or getting my wife back - I'll rather die trying, and that's not a metaphor.
My wife is lovely, she just followed the advice of her therapists and psychologists.
The situation is what it is, and I can deal with it (lol, well I'll laugh writing that - but let's just say I will keep trying to deal with it)... but it's still affecting me biologically: it's traumatic and stressful nonetheless, and my biology is messed up and thinks it can cure it by forcing me to eat all kind of crap - when in fact, right now, the opposite is needed.
That's not whining either, that's just explaining how I experience it.
As for the weight, you have to realize that I went from 86kg to 98kg (did rfl + a year of maintance) 108 kg(did rfl + a year of maintance), to 118 kg(did rfl + a year of maintance), to 128 kg to 142 kg(I'm standing here now), each jump happened within months not years after I could no longer maintain maintenance.
Also, you are not realising the built-up fatigue for being at it so hard, for so long: once is easy, twice is okay ... but over time this thing gets HARD dude. The physical and psychological excess gets allot smaller over time.
I have gone from being able to train 5 hours a day (sometimes did), to having a struggle just going down the stairs and shopping my groceries: I do walk every day, but condition is not improving, just getting worse and worse, and each time it feels like my heart is about to stop and my lungs fall out.
So realistically I just don't have another round of living 6 months on 600 kcals in me, without these meds being used to support me in doing so simultaneously.
You can call me concluding that being an excuse, but I would call the opposite lack of feel for one's own limitations or realism. When I was 108 kg only having run RFL once, nothing would have been easier to tell the same to one at 140 kg, but it's a totally different situation.
Btw. I have never had problems with accountability - I have been a coach and had coaches before ... I wouldn't care about failing a coach, but I hate to fail myself.
The plan is very simple man:
1) I have to keep battling not gaining more weight for right now.
2) As soon as I have the GLP-1 meds, I need to start the RFL again, possibly staying on a maintenance dose of GLP-1 meds for life.
3) I'll add whatever is safe and cheap, that supports that goal, makes me less fatigued, improve
But I rather speak about that in my own thread than derail Shreddeds, he does not deserve us craping in his thread.
Anyways, mostly thank you for that post man.
And you very well know it was different from the rest you wrote.

Fundamentally, these drugs work by fooling the brain into thinking that the body's setpoint is down there v, not up here ^.
They're so effective because the body defends its setpoints vigorously: it does trickery to make you eat less and move more--even unconsciously--if you, say, had put on a few lbs over Christmas and overshoot your setpoint. It also does that the other way around, e.g. when you've lost 10% of your body weight on a diet and it thinks you need to refill empty coffers.
There is a significant evidence that the brain takes years or longer to re-adjust how it responds to nutrients based on a prior setpoint--i.e. appetite, sense of smell, and cravings all remain elevated after weight loss, because that prior high setpoint keeps being defended by the brain.
But then being overweight or obese does some sneaky things while you're fat that sabotage the process of resetting that point by maintaining a consistent weight.
E.g. the skeleton does a bunch of leptin signalling work; that bish doesn't turn over for about a decade. Being fat also trashes GH levels maybe-permanently, esp in women, which has an impact on daily energy levels (see also: aging). Exercise during weight loss turns out to lower RMR further than weight loss alone, and it doesn't bounce back even when checked 5 years later, so a cheat day is that much more derailing.
And a bunch more things, too, but you get the idea.
So once you get skinny, you need to not only have diet and exercise dialed in to a lower RMR than you had from before getting fat, but it may take years to get to the point where it feels to the brain like not being on an extreme diet all the time. Ugh.
Building muscle helps with some of this, of course, but not all of it. Suffice to say many skinny people who were fat for more than a few years are just not the same physiologically as people who never got fat in the first place.
For some it's likely it will take years for after reaching a goal weight for their body to adjust the new lower setpoint that it can defend as zealously as it defended the higher one. If ever, for some.
Hence the idea of "maintenance dose."
No, I do not think it can all be fixed with therapy. Especially not extreme personality disorders like schizophrenia. However, you’re not schizophrenic, you’re simply fat and (very likely) suffering extreme depression. Hiding behind your daughter’s refusal to take meds as a defense of you taking illicit weight loss drugs is logically flawed.You suffer from the same illusions as my daughter, she thinks she can just psychologically fix her condition - but it's physical in her brain, and takes meds to fix it...
Bro, this statistic has been conceptually rejected since the late fucking 90s. 95% Regain Lost Weight. Or Do They? (Published 1999)Statistically, it's 99% that lose this much weight (50+kgs) without an operation or these meds regain it all with vengeance within 5 years
No, I made fun back at people acting like complete pompous assholes - in a thread about what GLP-1 and what complementary meds to use in my situation?The response was different from the rest is because you had been acting like a complete pompous asshole to people providing you solid and reasonable responses and support for your questions, it just wasn’t what you want to hear and responded with whining.
Man, I don't have any depression ... I'm physical, not mentally burned out ... and my body has reached a very bad condition on top of that ... something happened this last time when I hit 140 kg's, no matter what I do, my brain and body keep screaming for junk and more food 24/7 (there by not saying I'm caving in).; it's like getting into cold water and your brain starts screaming for you to get up, the mind starts to play all types of tricks to make you do so... as far as I understand Novo that's exactly what these meds are made to fix.No, I do not think it can all be fixed with therapy.

I’ve told him this so many times. Tirz. @DanishPanther order tirz. Tirzepatide. Do it. You’re not going to do Sema by itself, and Reta will fuck your bank account it’s not affordable for you. Tirz will suppress appetite more anyways. You shouldn’t even think about stacking right now, and you won’t need to with Tirz. If appetite is your main concern, Reta is not for you.Tirz should definitely be your pick. If you're trying to be safe, going with Reta seems like a terrible idea with it still going through clinical trials. Tirz is great for weight loss and no energy issues on it.
