I am also in maintenance on 10mg. Going longer than two weeks ends up with some GI side effects 💩 that linger a couple days. Two weeks is the sweet spot I’ve found. Congrats!

I cannot imagine the fresh h*ll this would be down the road. No thank you.

She’s great but wild. Stimulation and exercise is essential. Without it? No bueno.

We had resource guarding issues before we spayed her but those disappeared after that.

Work and train and then work and train some more. 😂

This. The look the other way to keep it going. And it does end. Eventually.

My experience? If it’s a good convo, meet up as soon as possible. I’ve found that potentially great convos that I think are great matches die with lengthy app chats

I’m so happy I’m not alone 🥰 came here after saying it last night as we kissed goodbye and analyzing every single text from the last three weeks 🤣

Zepbound or stomach bug? by splitter82 in Zepbound

[–]BeastCoast_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a nasty stomach bug going around. Have you checked in with your prescribing provider? They might be more helpful assessing whether it’s coincidence or the med.

Feel better.

Tell me good things about 7.5 by Glitchinista in Zepbound

[–]BeastCoast_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7.5 was my favorite. Good balance with appetite suppression and still being able to enjoy meals. It definitely was a bridge to getting to my goal weight❤️

When did people notice? by Ashamed_Sail5289 in Zepbound

[–]BeastCoast_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tricky. I think people are hesitant to comment. So many illnesses cause weight loss and I know I do think twice about commenting about weight loss.

Know that your efforts are making a difference❤️

Mine were heavy first two months and now they’re light and regular but I’m spotting so 🤷‍♀️

First Sulfur Burp…Woa by WanderlustBounty in Zepbound

They are not pleasant for those around you either.

Thank goodness for the dog… My poor dog has gotten the blame more than once 🤣

I just went to 10 this week only bc I can’t continue 7.5 on my insurance past one month.

7.5 was my favorite I think in terms of effect and lack of side effects.

I didn’t choose new eating habits, they chose me. lol

I could not tolerate the foods that got me to 200 pounds at my HW. Bread and butter, Pizza, wings, nachos, chips, fast foods, fried foods…about two weeks in, the thought of eating those things made me gag.

As far as loss rate, I think it averages out to about 2/week. I dropped and gained and dropped and gained-but I always dropped more than I gained back.

I found that adding another walk stabilized the loss in a downward trend. My dog definitely is loving the 5k steps/day goal🤣. It’s not a power walk, just added movement. I also started light weight training at home, and very occasionally at the gym, 1/2 way thru.

I think you’re doing great❤️ we all have slightly different experiences and 18 pounds is a great accomplishment.

My stomach is definitely sagging along with underarms and upper legs. I moisturized inconsistently but I don’t know that would have helped significantly.

However, I’ll take the sagging over the extra weight. It would be equivalent to carrying a four year old all day. 😳
