Teddy Roosevelt, Jr, my favorite nepo baby
Don’t want to just regurgitate his whole life story… it’s such a fuckin yarn though, I love it.
His life was pretty typical of what you might expect for the son of an early 20th century political figure. Blue blooded, Harvard grad, went to war, got involved in politics, had some oversees appointments in various American territories and protectorates.
Then when WWII broke out he wanted to force war again. His wife helped get George Marshall to reactivate him for active duty at 50-something years old. In the process he concealed his serious heart condition. Walked with a cane from injuries sustained in the previous world war.
Famously got on Patton’s bad side for being unsoldierly according to his definition but was basically such a tough son of a bitch that he earned Patton’s grudging respect anyway.
In the end he was the oldest soldier at D-Day and on top of that was one of if not the highest ranking officers to actually hit the beach. His son was there too. Died of a heart attack like a month later still on or near the front.
Also he looks like his dad would have after a rapid and drastic ozempic weight loss

2 engagementsLost 202 lbs naturally (402 ➔ 200). Here are the 3 non-negotiable mental rules that kept me going when life hit the absolute worst
I didn’t lose 202 pounds with shortcuts, Ozempic, or fancy meal plans. I did it by grinding out 2-hour daily sessions (1 hour weights, 1 hour cardio) and fixing my relationship with food and discipline from the ground up.
When you have over 200 pounds to drop, motivation dies in week two. What keeps you going when your car breaks down, money is tight, or life completely falls apart is your mental framework.
Here are the 3 non-negotiable rules that saved my life:
1. Discipline Over Motivation
Motivation is a feeling; discipline is a habit. Motivation shows up when the sun is shining and you feel good. Discipline is walking to the gym when your car is dead and you’re stressed out. Stop waiting to "feel like" doing the work. Treat your workouts and nutrition like an unmissable shift at work—you show up regardless of how you feel.
2. High-Volume Real Food (Fuel Without Starvation)
Crash diets fail because starving yourself is unsustainable. I stopped looking for quick fixes and built my diet around high-volume, whole foods—sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, quinoa, and lean proteins. Around my heavy workouts, I use fast-digesting carb sources like white rice to fuel performance. You don't need to starve; you need to fuel your body with real food so you aren't fighting constant hunger.
3. Track Everything & Stop Being Embarrassed
The scale is just data, not a judgment on your character. Track your food, track your workouts, and track your daily habits honestly. People might side-eye you when you're logging meals or pulling out weighed food in public, but let them look. They get to keep their opinions, and you get to keep your results. Choose your side.

A OPERAÇÃO GRAVETO está arruinando a beleza das mulheres de Hollywood. E antes que apareça alguém falando “ai, mas fulana sempre foi magra”, não é esse o ponto. O problema é que virou uma obsessão coletiva por magreza extrema, com Ozempic e toda essa cultura de emagrecimento, e hoje tem atriz que parece estar pesando 35 quilos. Não é sobre ser magra, é sobre estar num nível em que a pessoa parece literalmente cadavérica.
E sinceramente? Isso está deixando várias das mulheres mais bonitas de Hollywood com uma aparência muito pior. A graça sempre esteve justamente na variedade de corpos, rostos e proporções, mas agora parece que todo mundo precisa estar cada vez mais seco, sem nenhuma gordura no rosto ou no corpo. Aí você olha fotos antigas dessas mulheres e pensa: meu Deus, como eram lindas. Não porque eram necessariamente mais gordas, mas porque pareciam saudáveis, vivas e tinham uma presença que esse padrão de magreza extrema simplesmente está apagando.

Truly not sure when this became a weight loss advice account but losing 20 pounds in 20 days is not a flex and I hope no one is influenced by this.

I haven't seen my father recently and he just sent a photo of himself. he's gotten on ozempic and the amount of weight he's lost is so noticeable that I'm getting the competitive urges with him. I've already been struggling more recently but this is sending me further into relapsing. I know I should be happy that he's managing his health better now but I'm just thinking about how I should lose weight so I can be thinner than him.

1 engagementsQuem usa GLP-1: como vocês acompanham a evolução do tratamento?
Há alguns anos comecei minha jornada com medicamentos GLP-1. Passei por Ozempic, Wegovy e hoje estou usando tirzepatida (TG).
Durante esse tempo percebi que gosto muito de acompanhar minha evolução. Peso, aplicações, medidas, sintomas, gráficos… quanto mais dados, melhor.
Testei vários aplicativos para acompanhar o tratamento, mas sempre acabava voltando para anotações porque nenhum funcionava do jeito que eu precisava.
Como sou desenvolvedor de software, resolvi criar um aplicativo para mim.
Ainda está em desenvolvimento e estou tentando construir algo que seja realmente útil para quem faz esse tipo de tratamento.
Queria aproveitar para ouvir quem também usa GLP-1: o que mais faz falta nos aplicativos que existem hoje? O que faria você abandonar as anotações e começar a usar um app?
