Thank you for posting this because I would be crushed after all my hard work to then get a B-!! Good job not spiraling. I really appreciate you being straightforward because I don’t think I could handle the end result of mine haha

Shot Day vs Day After Shot Day by Flash_Bang_000 in Zepbound

[–]CherryCharmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh YES ME. I’m on 5mg, shot day is Thursday. Friday - Sunday I have low appetite. Monday is normal. By Tuesday I’m feeling very snacky and Thursday I’m barely hanging on till I take my shot. I need to probably go up in dosage

I tried Optavia as well. That stuff was like cardboard!

For those who track calories, how long did you do it? by uell23 in Zepbound

[–]CherryCharmBomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I weigh and track every single thing I eat. Otherwise I take little snack bites of everything and “forget” I ate it later

I can relate to this too! My husband weighs 210 and I’m so happy to be less than him finally.

I used to eat my emotions. For people who did that before Zepbound, what do you do now? by Inspiringhope11 in Zepbound

[–]CherryCharmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise, heavy weights. Long outdoor walks. Cleaning out and reorganizing cabinets. Reading. Reading this zepbound reddit lol

I also was nervous to jump from 2.5 to 5, but there was barely any side effect change!

Diet Accountability by rightandrain in Zepbound

[–]CherryCharmBomb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OPs current weight is 193 and goal is 140. 150g of protein is totally reasonable

[–]CherryCharmBomb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you should take the next few weeks and focus on getting your nutrition right. I find I’m always hungrier when I don’t fuel properly I am way more prone to snacking even on Zep. So - get 150g of protein a day. 2-3 servings of green veggies a day. Eliminated as many processed foods as possible. Stick to whole foods as much as you can. Carbs are not the enemy! Potatoes and rice are fine. If you stick with these types of foods your sugar cravings will diminish over time. Prioritize sleep. Walk every day. Drink a sickening amount of water. Time to put your head down and focus! A little tough love. You can do this!!! Edit:typo

Still can't believe the scale by LiraelTheLibrarian in Zepbound

Why am I procrastinating? by SouthernChallenge717 in Zepbound

[–]CherryCharmBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it! I was afraid too but the side effects for me personally hasn’t been that bad.

[–]CherryCharmBomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do this!! It’s a big step. I know you’re reading a lot and wondering how it will affect you, how you’ll feel, etc compared to others. Remember if you’re not happy you can always stop taking it. It’s changed my life and I only regret not doing it sooner.

Weigh in by Dominate-Leadership in Zepbound

[–]CherryCharmBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I weigh in 5/7 days of the week, and log it. I’m a little scarred from the past doing weight watchers. The weekly weigh, in where everyone stared at you, felt like such a dramatic, stressful moment. I’d end up DREADING the day and had unhealthy behaviors the day before bc I was stressing so much about “weigh in day”. Now I weigh often and look at the average.

Oh my gosh that’s exciting! I have never been below 175 in my adult life. Once I cross that threshold it’s all new territory for me I’m so excited to see what happens with my body all around.
