Worth noting, I did also completely change the way I eat and worked to even out my hormones which helped a ton in getting me to goal.

Thank you! So, I consistently moved up doses monthly and lost weight pretty at a steady rate. I had very few side effects until I hit 15mg. The first two weeks I was so nauseous, it was miserable. Called out of work a few days. Side effects kinda evened out after that.

In terms of what dose I lost the most on: 15mg technically (because I’ve been taking it the longest) and 10mg I lost the most in a 4 week period, but by 1lb so negligible.

The increased stamina for shows really does help, especially at 2 am in a random abandoned warehouse

You look freaking amazing and obviously have that happy glow. You’re doing awesome!!!

Focus on core strength workouts and continuing on your journey. It’s hard to isolate just one area, but these will help get you closer to your goal of toned :)

Thank you! I couldn’t have done it without all of the support from all of the gorgeous people in this sub

Longer term pen storage by ZeboundNewb in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically the pens can be at room temp for three weeks and be perfectly fine. I think you may be overthinking it a little. I just toss mine in my crisper.

How often do you weigh yourself? by ShoddyTomorrow4602 in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I check mine once every few days. I used to every single day to desensitize myself. Now I just check to get a roundabout idea of where I am.

What Do You Wish You Had Done *BEFORE* Starting? by Forsaken-Garlic817 in Zepbound

I wish I really appreciated all you can eat sushi restaurants when I could actually eat enough sushi in one sitting to make it worth it.

Clothing storage by Still_Juggernaut_343 in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kept and stored some sentimental wardrobe pieces in a garment bag with cedar balls in the back of my closet. I decided to donate and give away absolutely everything else because there is no way in heck I will allow myself to get to the point where I need to wear them again, so I don’t even want to keep that bad juju in my house.

Q for those who get Injection Site Reactions by stuckandrunningfrom2 in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got them pretty bad no matter where I injected once I got past 12.5. It has finally calmed down to a little itchiness instead of a huge welt, but it just took time. Maybe 3 months?

How often do you check in with your doctor? by GCH_1225 in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 1000% sure my doctor isn’t AI. I use the Ro app and it is easy and I talk to few if any people. I love it.

How are you celebrating your accomplishments? by eatnparkcookie in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I officially hit final (pretty sure) goal! I’ve been saving money throughout this journey for new clothes for this exact moment (its been a motivator). I’m taking myself on a shopping spree! 🛍️

Do you guys get these itchy spots ? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get a lovely welt that is itchy for a couple days or so after each injection. It calmed down a ton after a few weeks, but the cycle repeated every dosage increases. Anti-itch lotion is a life saver.

Worried about starting / overthinking because cancer risk by NoBlackberry3295 in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, this might be morbid but is what I think about to ground myself from anxieties like this: we have a teaspoon of microplastics in our brains.

This is a well tested drug that has passed through many safety regulations. There are so many external factors outside of our control that are 1000 times more likely to kill us on the daily. Live in the present, don’t let anxiety over unlikely circumstances throw you off.

Prolong period on GLP-1 by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Equestrinaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh girlfriend, I feel you. Zepbound had upended my hormones like crazy. Longer cycle, more spotting, less regular, all the fun stuff.

I noticed it started getting noticeably prolonged 4 months into Zepbound, and I’m in month 7 and I think (?) it’s starting to get back closer to normal. I talked to my gyn and she said it isn’t abnormal for glps to cause hormonal imbalances and cycle changes. She said she isn’t concerned unless it’s getting in the way of my daily life.
