I definitely lost weight easily on wegovy and just as easily gained it back when I stopped taking it. The whole experience definitely drove home how I needed to improve my mental health alongside any “purely physical” intervention. Same sit

My beloved boomer dad’s windows laptop died the other week. After being on the fence about buying him a macbook (which I have and love) because I know he will struggle to switch user interfaces, I ended up pulling the trigger after seeing y
