Started Kit 6 in early May to try to get back to my pre-baby weight. Reading through here has been so helpful as I’ve navigated through this, and since Kit 6 is newer I thought I would contribute too.

Side notes: I had taking bupropion before for anxiety, so knew that drug generally worked okay for me. I also talked to my PCP and had blood work done shortly after starting just to make sure there weren’t any major issues or potential risks.

Side effects: The first month or so was definitely rough at times - good bit of brain fog and irritability with some depression (which I have a history of). Thankfully didn’t have any GI issues with the metformin, though! Th

This summer has been so heavy. I've already been burning out, but now I'm struggling to see how the hell I'm going to keep my head above water this fall.

For some context - I'm a freelance science writer, married to someone who works night shifts and has a 5 year old who is starting kindergarten next week.

A lot of this summer has been trying to manage my mom and my dad (who was an amputee who was effectively bed-bound to his recliner the past 7ish months). Went down mid-July to help mom with surgery, ended up with dad going to the hospital, then back to rehab to build up some strength. Was trying to help dad as much as I could with making him comfortable in rehab while also managing my mo

First, just wanted to say that you all have been amazing, especially in the past month. I've been silently lurking to help navigate a few things, and it's been so helpful. I was actually getting ready to make a post today on this subreddit asking for help in switching rehab facilities, but guess I don't need to do that anymore, ha.

My dad, who was 77 and had his leg amputated above the knee, went to the hospital last month for a sprained muscle in his arm. Had surprise pneumonia and a UTI as well. The hospital suggested he do rehab again to build strength, but said since he was 500 pounds he needed a bariatric facility, with the closest available facility being 3 hours away. I was skeptical

This morning was my son's PreK last day of school/PreK graduation/celebration, and everything went sour. I just have a complicated mix of feelings that I'm trying to work through for what was supposed to be a happy moment.

To be honest, I shouldn't be surprised. Yesterday we took him to an amusement park with a friend and her daughter as a an "end-of-the-year" treat. She was going regardless and had invited us along. The kids had a blast! We didn't get home till past his bedtime, though - even though he slept in, he was still definitely tired this morning from having a busy day yesterday.

They also had the celebration outside when it was already 80+ degrees.

He was just not having it - yo

Hi all! I'm pretty sure someone tried to scam my mom with a fraudulent bank charge scam. Thankfully she worked at a bank for a few years and knew to lock down things quickly, but just wanted to check to see if there's anything else she should be doing to make sure she's okay.

Here's what I know from what she's told me:

• Last Friday she got a bunch of notifications that someone was trying to purchase $38,000 worth of porn on her debit card.
• Sounds like the text included a number to call - she called it thinking it was the national bank branch, and the person said that the $38,000 would clear in 2 hours and that there was nothing they could do to stop it
• She mentioned that they told her
