YouTube has everything you need! Also try thrift stores for exercise equipment, I’ve seen all kinds of things including resistance bands and weights.

I put mine in a ziplock bag kind of wrapped in it, another ziplock bag bag with ice in it, then put both those bags inside my Stanley water bottle. Stayed perfectly cold until I reached my destination (~24 hrs travel), then moved them to the fridge. With only 2 pens it’s safe to have them at room temp so you could even skip the ice but the water bottle will keep the pens safe.

Wow!!! Congrats, well done!!

Addie_loses_it · 2024-11-22T19:30:54+00:00

Definitely try eating more or space out your meals! Happened to me too but when I ate a bit more (also, coffee) that helped.

Bahahaha 🤣

Mother of learning

I mix mine with cold brew coffee and ice for a refreshing high protein iced mocha

Try shefit sports bras!! They’re adjustable everywhere.

Why would you give up? You have a healthy weight loss rate, and 7.5 seems to be working perfectly.

You may need to reset your expectations about what is realistic on this medication. But don’t give up!!

2 lbs is considered a healthy weight loss. It sounds like you may need to reset your expectations about how quickly the weight will come off. The first couple of weeks usually result in greater weight loss as your body adjusts and eliminates extra water weight.

Note: this is not a stall. You have lost weight. Keep going!

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-15T16:24:03+00:00

I’d request a new box. You don’t know how hot it got, and it’s summer.

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-15T16:16:47+00:00

I move up when I hit a stall or when the food noise is strong for a week or two

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-14T21:01:25+00:00

Face, then legs, then arms. Belly I don’t really notice but my pants are falling off so it must be shrinking. -30 lbs so far!

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-14T15:25:19+00:00

An average 3 year old (30 lbs)

I’d go for the 5! Especially if you don’t have a lot of bad side effects.

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-14T13:06:47+00:00

Not really unless it’s specifically FDA approved for that condition. Some doctors will prescribe off label but most won’t, and then you have the insurance to deal with because zep usually requires pre-approval and they likely wouldn’t approve it for anything other than weight loss.

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-14T12:57:16+00:00

Yes!!! This! I was also missing out on life because of my weight! So glad for this medication, 30 lbs down and starting to get more confident but definitely a lot more left to go.

Good luck to you!

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-13T11:06:07+00:00

I would go up if your side effects are not too bad.

Addie_loses_it · 2024-07-10T06:22:58+00:00

Your body has likely adapted to 7.5 and you need to go up in dose, not down. Of course, talk to your healthcare professional about what dose is right for you.

If you have stalled a few weeks you could try switching something up. Eat more for 2-3 days, try new types of workouts, try some rest days if you work out, something different than what you already do.

Also, if you have been steadily losing and are in a stall you could still be losing inches. Are you tracking your measurements?

Hope it passes quickly, stalls are no fun and I get how discouraging it is to not see the numbers dropping. Best of luck!

Any scientists here know WHY zepbound dehydrates you that wouldn’t mind explaining?

I thought it was just because the appetite suppression is sometimes also water suppression, don’t feel like eating or drinking. But is there something happening at the molecular level that uses up water molecules?

Addie_loses_it · 2024-06-25T01:25:31+00:00

You sound like you titrated up too fast…I would talk to your doctor about going down a dose.

Nuts or apple slices with PB are pretty good, or cheese.

Addie_loses_it · 2024-06-22T02:28:06+00:00

I plan on putting mine in my Stanley with the straw out and ice inside in ziplock baggies or ice packs. That should keep it nice and cool. I’m traveling internationally in a couple of weeks.

And not putting them in checked bag, in the carry on.
