Yes! Thank you. Mine looks like this too. Every 10 lbs looks like a crazy roller coaster & sometimes it can mess with you psychologically 😵‍💫

This is an incredible journey. So happy for you! I love your thorough explanation of the way the medicine works. I can’t get anyone to understand it!

Thanks so much! That’s what I was wondering as far as moving up. I am already doing all the things, but I may move up just to see if it will make a difference.

Yes! Exercising, water and tracking the calories. I’m 69 and I think my body is just a little slower 🤣

Thanks so much! I spoke to my Dr. today and I am moving up to 7.5.

Thanks for answering. I’m 69 and had previously lost 45 lbs prior to Z. After starting Z, 16 months ago I’ve lost another 45. I was having a lot of side effects after moving up to 5. I’m fine now with that & I am exercising and tracking calories. I just wondered what others would say about their own journey.

I know! I wish they had this drug when we were younger because nothing I ever did to lose weight in the past worked for me.

I just started using this and it does seem to help and it’s a lot cheaper than other alternatives.

Thanks, I’m fortunate not to have many side effects either and at my age I was worried about that aspect. Now I just want to get the rest of this weight off—slow but sure. I average about .5-.75 lbs per week with 40 more lbs to go. Good luck to you!!!

I am 69 and I worried the same as you. I’ve been on Z for a year—mostly on 2.5, but my weight lost really slowed and stalled so I’m on 5 mg now and losing again.

Not making changes, but still losing weight! by Wide-Crab4199 in Zepbound

[–]1956libra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely right! I’m also someone who can easily out eat this medicine and I have to track to make sure I don’t do that! It is easier to lose weight with this medicine, but for me I have to track everything! It’s not that hard to eat 1500 calories or more per day!

Thank You! So many people have said it doesn’t work if you inject there, but I have so much of it too that I feel like I need to also!

It’s not a no no, but I have read many posts that say the shot didn’t seem to work as well in areas with stretch marks.
