For the extra money you can stab yourself with some selmaglutide meds instead, so that you stop being obese.
Did this myself, lost 4kg in 1 month, and that has stayed off. You can even buy em cheap out of china, if you dare.
Net result is you’re probably about as likely to die as you were beforehand (increased longevity from weightloss offset with scooter incident risk) but at least you’ll have more fun.
Mate, you’re from Brisbane, same as me, so of course we’re chiselled titans. OP on the other hand is posting in both Linux and Elderscrolls subforums and complaining about his flag-waving HOA, there’s no way he’s 105kg of muscle.
I use Linux, have played multiple Elder Scrolls games, but weigh 215 and have a 34" waist. Am suburban American. I don’t take any injections or use any medication either. I bet there are lots of Americans who are in better shape than you would suggest, but even if OP isn’t, it’s not your place to judge.
Hahhaha, good point!
Also hey fellow Brissy human!! Seems there is a reasonable number of us on here these days!
Also legit question, what was your experience like using semaglutide? Seems you got good results! And nice work with that., But while using it, no gnarly sides or other less than stellar symptoms etc?
Yo man!! Yeah I didn’t know lemmy was popular here! I’d go to a meet if someone else organised it 😁
So I was 92kg, but my snoring starts kicking in when I’m over 90kg. Went to doc and he put me on the lowest dose of Monjaro (2.5mg). I found that was way too much, so I dropped the pen to 20 clicks (full dose is 30), so 2/3rds dose each time. Full dose almost made me pass out at work, I just had zero appetite.
I work from home and exercise often, but my snack impulse is very strong, especially when training hard. I found on 2/3rds dose that my snack impulse was significantly suppressed, but I didn’t have the negative effects others were having around insomnia etc. Working from home, the fridge is always open, and I have returned to snacking now, but my weight has stabilised at 88kg after just the one pen.
Doc gave me a single repeat, and once life calms down a bit, I’ll try using it again to go lower. For my height the absolute optimal weight for longevity is around 81kg, so I may use or or two more repeats to get there. I’d never bother trying to lose weight without it again, it made the whole thing so much easier, and I probably saved the cost of the pen on junk food/restaurants. I also wanted to break up its use with some time off to wean my body off the extra hormone, as the standard arrangement is to keep cranking up the strength of the pen as the body gets used to it. Right now I’m 6 weeks since I stopped taking it, and admittedly I’ve put 1kg back on, but I’ve also added 15kg to my squat.
Overall, 5 stars, it’s absolutely unreal. I paid $279AUD for the 1 pen, and got back $80AUD from my extras health cover.
Oh man, that’s very interesting to hear, thanks for sharing, and awesome results for you!! And hey, 1kg bodyweight for an extra 15 on the squat! That’s some good freaking numbers. You have any idea of composition breakdown, as in, is that 1kg of bodyweight mostly muscle or not?
Did you have any issue getting semaglutide in Australia from china? Have looked around and seems like the general consensus is that abf will intercept it, what supplier did you use?
I absolutely wouldn’t bother in Aus. Chemist Warehouse is selling 2.5mg of Monjaro for $279, which is what I took, and I got $80 back of that from my health insurance. I was more making reference to the good old USA, where my understanding is that each pen is around $1k.

Where’s the source out of China these days? AliBaba?
I found a link to some dodgy discords somewhere and joined them out of curiosity. Seemed like people were receiving the product and it was working
What is bro is not fat? I’m currently around 285 freedom weights and have about a 34 inch waist ATM.
