Just started my 5th week of 25mg and I literally just can’t get hungry anymore since starting this dose.

Even when I do, i eat half a grilled chicken wrap (a lot of protein) and put it in the fridge because I feel so full I can’t take another bite. It’s so nice to be hungry and not overeat when it does happen.

When I don’t eat protein i notice i can eat more that day (like 1,700 calories) but on days i get a lot of protein i can’t eat more than 1,200-1,500 calories a day. For a 5’8 male in his 20s that is pretty low, especially burning 300 calories at the gym daily.

I’m not complaining. I lost 10 pounds on this dose alone already in 5 weeks, but it’s crazy to me that this is how the medicine works when you hit full dose. I was still at least a little hungry on the first 3 doses, but 25mg is a consistent fullness and zero food noise.

I would say this is how normal people eat but my skinny friends can still house a 12 inch cheesesteak or 20 wings and fries, I physically cannot do that anymore. I will feel sick and probably vomit.

This medication is truly a god send. I would take this any day over being uncomfortably overweight. Overall down almost 30 pounds in 3 months, daily exercise def played a part in this.

I might get slandered for this and that’s totally ok because the best part about creepcast is there’s a story for everyone and everyone has different favorites. I just binged because im a new listener and finally got to Whitefall…

Whitefall was probably, in my opinion, the worst story they’ve read yet. It took entirely too long to get to the bus station scene, and when it did they were instantly tribal about being locked in there. I just couldn’t get into it, I had to stop with 30 minutes left and I’ve never done that with one of their stories, not even happy appy.

I was so lost on the entire concept or point of the story. The phone calls/exchanges were written extremely cringey, and I think the boys went easy on it because of the author. The overly explained “this person leads denver, this person leads” etc was too much.

I hope I’m not the only one who thought this. If I am oh well, I’ll take it and say it just wasn’t for me, but I was shocked that anyone remotely enjoyed it.

EDIT: I phrased this horribly. Not the worst story they read, but one of my least favorite episodes. Some of the worse stories the boys saved with funny bits/crashouts, this one was almost taken too seriously for how bad/cringe it was. If any other author wrote it I think they woulda been more critical.

Is this just a me thing? It has steadily started to do odd things and more things keep happening. Here is the list for me:

1. Notifications delayed by days at a time. Things that were messaged to me 3 days ago i got today

2. Will randomly freeze, both on client side and freelancer side. When i scroll through to look at applicants it freezes every time.

3. Won’t let me send meeting times anymore. I hit the calendar button to send availability and it gives a green circle for a second and then doesn’t pop up. I tried 10 times in a row. This has been over a month now

4. Notifications not going away for messages I read. They just stay for hours at a time.

There’s probably more I’m forgetting but it’s becoming borderline unusable. Is this happening to anyone else?

Hey everyone,

I run a B2B cold email lead gen agency where I cover setup, deliverability, campaign copy, lead list pulling, and campaign monitoring to SaaS clients who have just secured funding.

I prefer a quality over quantity approach. Here’s my lessons so far / what I learned:

1. Set expectations. This one is big for Upwork clients because most of them have small budgets and no idea how this stuff actually works. Anyone who wants a quick 30 day fix for lead gen is an auto DQ. It takes the emails alone 2 weeks to warm up, and then another 2 weeks to ramp the campaign to full sending power. I frame it as a 90 day email outbound email setup/launch project and those 3 months are on retainer, with the option to continue after 3 months if they want me to monitor the inbox

2. Product/Market Fit. A lot of folks i work with are brand new to market. I try to weed out the ones with seemingly shitty products or services but sometimes I think one way and the market thinks another. I’ve had clients blame me for this, but the reality is nobody wants their product/service, and you have to be okay walking away from clients like these.

3. 12 quality clients > 24 clients with 12 annoying ones. Any client who wants to micromanage the process I have no problem dropping, because why pay me, an expert, if you’re going to judge the copy and subject lines? I’m not trying to sound arrogant here, but they hired me for a reason. Let me do my thing.

4. Quality > Quantity. No need to spam, find the ICP you want, speak to their pain point, mention a relevant trigger, and that will work every time over mass emails with no personalization.

5. I Gotta Get Off Upwork. Nobody will pay more than 2k a month retainer there and most want to pay 1-1.5k. My services are closer to 3-4k a month range with the revenue i bring clients, so I have to start using my own expertise (outbound email) to capture client interest.

just wanted to share and see if anyone else made the jump off Upwork or another platform in the space, or if all these things makes sense. Best of luck all :)

Hey everyone,

After having decent progress on 1.5-9MG (was still hungry but not as hungry as before), I can say that 25MG is the real deal. Im down 10 pounds this month and only once this entire month have i eaten over 1,500 calories.

Week 1 was hell. I had every symptom in the book. Nauseous, acid reflux, vomiting, sensitive skin, etc. Over the weeks these all started to dissipate, and now most of them are gone. I still get the occasional nausea but it doesn’t cause me to vomit anymore.

I will preface this by saying I go to the gym almost daily, which has been incredibly helpful to lose weight faster. But overall 25MG is the most consistent ive been so far, I get full very easily (especially when i eat protein) and I feel the pounds falling off.
