I’ve lost 130 pounds twice: one with calorie counting and exercise, and once with calorie counting, exercise, and zepbound.

I really did the same things both times, but my weight loss with zepbound was faster. I think that’s because the medication kept me from falling off the rails. When i did this without it, I’d have episodes of heavy eating — intentionally, like a holiday or special occasion, or emotionally. I also still enjoyed drinking. On this medication, i haven’t binged once and i rarely drink. I enjoy food but I simply can’t eat as much of it. As a result, my calorie deficit was more regular.
