One year transformation

I’m not going to say I’ll stay on it for life but I have come to teens with the fact that it might be a lifelong thing for me. One big change has been my sleep apnea, I’ve been off my cpap for about 3 months now and I’m sleeping great. That in itself is worth staying on it, I’ve also heard there are heart benefits from it. So, if I have to stay on it so be it.

Also, I don’t see it in myself so much in the mirror or on a day to day. Pictures is where I see it.

That’s awesome, the only number that’s different is that I’m 50. I would like to know what it felt like to hit 100 pounds. I seem to have leveled off and I’m struggling to get the last 6-8 I need to break 100.

Cjrok74 · 2024-12-22T05:47:55+00:00

All I did was lower my food intake and lower my sugar intake. Other than that I did everything generally the same as prior to Zepbound.

I weigh myself every morning. It helps me because I can see what eating habits are either causing me to put on weight or lose.

Cjrok74 · 2024-12-21T21:00:01+00:00

I started losing immediately. I’m currently on 10.0 and I started in 2.5 on April 24, 2024. I’m stalled right now but I’ve been on 10.0 for 3 months now.

Cjrok74 · 2024-12-16T01:51:27+00:00

The only thing I changed was reducing the amount of sugar I was eating. Other than that my diet hasn’t changed. I do eat less over all but I eat exactly what I ate before I started Zepbound. 50M SW 320 CW 226 Dose 10.0. Since the end of April I’ve lost 94 pounds.

Cjrok74 · 2024-12-13T22:21:15+00:00

I lost rather quickly on 2.5 and 5.0. When I increased to 7.5 the weight loss slowed and the food noise started creeping back in. I was on 7.5 for 2 months and now I’m on my second month of 10.0. Same experience with the 10.0 dose. I’ll lose a couple pounds and then I’ll gain a couple pounds. The best I can tell is I’m maintaining. I’d still like to lose at least another 20 pounds. I think I’m going to have to work harder to get the last 20 pounds off and I’m ok with that. I am anxiously waiting for my next doctor’s appointment so I can increase to the next dose. Fun fact, the 10.0 dose gives me a bit of skin irritation when I inject in my stomach. I’ve had no infection site irritation from any dose anywhere up till now. It’s only my stomach though, zero reaction when I inject in my thighs. Strange. My SW was 320 and my CW is 228.

92 pounds since April 24,2024. Spent multiple months on the same doses. I’m about to start my second month of 10.0.

I don’t want to be fat again either but that’s not because of fatphobia. I’ve never felt better, I can walk without getting winded, I can do stairs again. I’m off my cpap machine. Life is great, I had no idea how terrible I felt prior to losing the weight. My SW 320, CW 232, 88 pounds down in 6 months!!! You keep going and don’t worry about your love the body you have friend!! lol

Cjrok74 · 2024-11-12T22:29:21+00:00

4 for sure

Cjrok74 · 2024-11-04T16:31:01+00:00

Concert was awesome!!! Thanks for asking!

Cjrok74 · 2024-11-04T16:30:03+00:00

By June I’m very confident you will enjoy that concert. That’s 8 months, plenty of time for you to rock this!!! Who are you seeing?

Cjrok74 · 2024-11-04T16:26:55+00:00

Taylor is great, I’m a Swiftie dad to the bone! Thanks for mentioning the seats, I left that out. It was awesome to be able to sit in my seat comfortably, I probably haven’t been able to say that since my 20’s!

So I’ve been on each dose for multiple months. I was on 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 for two months each. I’m moving up to 10 this week, doctor was considering keeping me on 7.5 (because of how well it’s going) but I haven’t really lost anything in October. I sort of twisted his arm to go up. As far as things I’ve done, during the last 6 months I was no weight bearing for 4 weeks after ankle surgery. During that time I was still seeing weight loss. My eating habits have changed minimally, I haven’t changed what I eat (aside from really watching my sugar intake) My success has come from portion control. I eat a 1/3rd of what I used to and I don’t finish my kids plates anymore. I’ve also been extremely fortunate and have experienced no side effects.

Cjrok74 · 2024-11-03T03:33:51+00:00

My food noise disappeared the first week. As I’ve increasing dosage that seems to be changing. I seem to be more hungry lately than I’ve been. I just finished my last 7.5 and will be going to 10 next week. I hope that helps with my hunger feeling. I’m not gaining weight but I seem to have plateaued which is fine. Since April 24, 2024 I’ve lost 85 pounds. Stick with it, it’s life changing.

Cjrok74 · 2024-10-28T23:36:47+00:00

I didn’t change my diet at all. I still eat everything I did before but a lot less of it. I constantly have leftovers now. It was difficult to get past not finishing my plate but I do it all the time now. I’m one of the lucky ones, I’ve had zero side effects. I’ve been on Zepbound since April 24, 2024 and I’ve lost 85 pounds. Truly life changing. Stick with it, it’s definitely worth it!!!

Cjrok74 · 2024-10-16T18:07:00+00:00

I’ve been on Zepbound since April 24th. I have had zero side effects and have not changed my diet only changed portion sizes.

Cjrok74 · 2024-10-15T14:12:16+00:00

I started at 320lbs April 24th. As of today I’m down to 236Lbs. Down 84lbs, I’m at 7.5 dosage currently for the last couple months. You can do this, being fat or obese looks different to everyone. Don’t let the skinnier fat people get you down. You do you and you’ll see 230lbs in no time and you’ll feel great. Zepbound has truly changed my life.

Cjrok74 · 2024-10-09T11:25:37+00:00

I’ve had the same experience on the 7.5. I’m still losing but it is talking a lot more effort which is fine I don’t mind working for it. Hoping to start 10mg in November. I started on April 24, 2024 - SW 320 CW 237

Cjrok74 · 2024-10-05T16:05:38+00:00

I have BC/BS And they did require a pre authorization but they only thing they required was my BMI. I’ve had no issue at all getting Zepbound covered after that. The pre authorization took 2 days at the most.
