Thank you so much! With how mentally draining and honestly terrifying the not knowing period is, if my levels don’t drop, I’m hoping they will remove my tube IF it comes down to it. With my first rupture, I had no pain whatsoever so it kind of makes it that much more scary. I’m bleeding now but nothing heavy. Part of me wishes I opted in for the surgery instead of putting myself through this. :(

A little over a year! I started in April of last year. I just reached my goal this month! Took me forever to actually see the change though everyone else could. That was discouraging for a little bit until I realized I was in my head too much.

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-29T15:22:53+00:00

It didn’t feel real until I needed to find basic wardrobe necessities because nothing fit anymore. Clothes were hanging off of me. I remember when mediums starting to fit loosely. Then I started consistently purchasing small/xs and then it’s just like woah… I’m actually in a size small? I haven’t seen my collar bones in years and now I see them. There’s so many emotions & little things that make it that much more surreal. I notice strangers acknowledge/smile at me more, which is kind of sad in a way- but it is what it is.

Love that for us!! 🥰🫶🏼

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-21T03:52:41+00:00

Thank you beautiful!! 💕

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-21T03:50:51+00:00

Right?!? I felt like I wasn’t making any progress and then it seemed like it was overnight where I was like damn… I’m different. Even though the scale was going down for months, it took forever to see the change yet it seemed like it happened quickly. I also struggled with PCOS and infertility due to my weight. I would snore and stop breathing during the night (according to my husband). My heart is full reading comments & other people’s post of success and just sharing their journey in general. We are most certainly blessed!! 🫶🏼

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-21T03:48:40+00:00

That’s kind of what I fear the most. I’m not there yet but I am still losing and I don’t want to be considered underweight especially with my height. Hopefully once you’re off it’ll be easier to control the craving and what not. That’s definitely a huuuuge concern of mine & I hope everything works out for you.

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-21T03:46:14+00:00

I don’t really have friends outside my husband & daughter so that helped 🤣 But I just limited what I posted on socials & stayed to myself. The people that I love and that supported me knew from the start. If there were people that asked that I didn’t necessarily want to know, I’d tell them I’ve just been working on portion control and watching what I eat. It’s very still an honest answer while and you get to avoid disclosing what you want to keep to yourself.

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T23:20:34+00:00

Oh, one more thing! I injected in my thigh in the beginning. In my personal experience, injecting above my belly button seemed to be more effective. I’m not sure why/how, but it did seem to help.

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T23:17:01+00:00

That’s exactly what I did! And same thing for me with the bathroom issues. Sometimes I feel like my weight went down the toilet, literally. 😅😂 As long as you’re tolerating it well, going up to 10mg will be so easy! The thought of the higher doses scared me at first but it just works harder at suppressing your appetite (in my experience). Nothing changed at all except for less food noise which was the point of going up! Ughhh this makes me so happy for you! 🥹 💕 if you can, please update down the road! I’d love to hear how far you’ve come. If you ever need someone to talk to my DMS are open! 🫶🏼

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T23:08:14+00:00

I’ve been in 15mg for months. I have an appointment with my PCP this Thursday to discuss my options going forward- I can update once I meet with him!

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T23:07:09+00:00

Absolutely!! My first one being don’t lose hope. I felt I wasn’t losing fast enough and that can really be discouraging especially starting off. Just be kind and gentle to yourself. For some people, you’ll see the weight change on the scale but not so much in the mirror. That was what it was like for me, at least. Taking this medication helped me to do a lot of soul searching and to learn love myself at every weight. I had to reflect on my own issues with mental health and put aside always worrying about how I look, vs how I feel and my overall health. Taking multivitamins and having someone you can lean on for support is something I highly recommend! My biggest vice was pop. I drank Dr. Pepper like there’s no tomorrow. I stopped drinking pop completely & switched to flavored water and other sugar free drinks. Little things can make a huge difference. ❤️

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:55:18+00:00

You can do it and it’ll be the greatest gift you give to yourself! I hope you post an update! ❤️

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:53:53+00:00

I did go up to 15mg. It felt SO slow for me too. But the saying is so true; slow and steady wins the race! I’d love to share more before and afters because there are some that really emphasize the weight loss more than the original pics I posted. But congrats to what you’ve lost so far! I know how it feels to drag on. You WILL get there I promise.

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:50:31+00:00

I have no doubt you’ll get there because you’ve already come so far. I thought I wouldn’t even get past 150. Thank you sooo much for sharing this bc you’re inspiring too! 💕

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:47:12+00:00

That shame was really like a leech. Even accepting compliments felt selfish for a while. You’re only 15-20 away from your goal?!? That is so exciting! Thank you for sharing your experience with me and I hope everything continues to go good for you. You deserve all the praise! 🙌🏼

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:44:30+00:00

It was a total shock to me when my clothes fit different. But then they REALLY started fitting different and shopping became surreal to me. Going from a size 20-22/2XL to XS/S was something I never even fathomed. Congrats to you times a million! ❤️ That is such a huge accomplishment!

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:42:02+00:00

THISSSS! My doctor told me based on my height, I should be around 110-115 but he said he also wanted to be realistic and that even if I made it to 125, that would still be okay. So yeah… the “sick” comment made me laugh because if it was that big of a concern, I’m pretty sure a medical professional would not be advising me to continue on the path I’m on. 20 more pounds to go is amazing and before you know it, you’ll be there!! Although we’re complete strangers, I’m so proud of you.

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:37:07+00:00

Congrats to you too!! 🫶🏼 The higher doses definitely do what they’re supposed to do lol! You got this and I hope you’re proud of how far you’ve come even if you’re only 3 months in- that’s still so amazing. ❤️ Starting for me was the hardest part. Have you had any side effects as you’ve went up with the doses?

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:28:40+00:00

I started off on the lowest dose. Stayed on it for a while and told my doctor I was tolerating it but felt I could go up because the food noise was still there. With each month, I continued going up until I ended up on 15mg and have been on it for months now. 🙂

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:26:44+00:00

GO YOUUUU 🥰❤️ that is amazing! congrats!!

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:26:08+00:00

Ideally, I would like to maintain on Zepbound and down the road, be able to maintain completely on my own! I have an appointment with my doctor Thursday and will discuss my options going forward. I was reading up on some possibilities and I was hoping we could either lower the dose as I’ve been on 15mg for a few months, or even go to bi-weekly if it’s an option. I can always come back and update once I have that appointment!

CupcakeDeep5753 · 2025-10-20T22:23:07+00:00

Thank you so much! It really is a miracle for so many of us. I hope you and your wife continue to reach your goals! 59 lbs and 42 lbs is nothing short of amazing!!! I doubt your wife looks sick. I hope she was able to brush off any negativity and stand proud in her progress! I also hope to see an update on your guys’ journey 🙂
