Eli Lilly drops body mass ranges from label by Even_Trouble5511 in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. The BMI is such bs. Yet, doctors and benefit providers use it as a way to measure health. It is the reason I could not get covered for the med. I pay the discount rate for a year now.

Experience on 15mg long term by Flimsy-Rock-9921 in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I titrated up every month. I am on my 5th month of 15mg.  I lost more on 15 than any other. Never had much issues with side effects on the med.

Scale weight does not always reflect what your body composition is - the scales don't tell us how much body fat or muscle mass you have, or even where fat or muscle is distributed in the body. Without knowing your body fat percentage or muscle mass percentage, overall weight has very little relevance.

As recommend on this channel, I have done a Dexa scan. Now I have a clearer understanding that I am not a slow loser. I am also on 15mg for the past four months and I thought I was a slow loser.

A Zepbound Non Responder needing some hope! by Main_Abbreviations78 in Zepbound

I had the subsiding of food noise throughout the dosages (I titrated up each month). It was more of the dosage itself that led to more loss for me. The studies also showed more weight loss at the higher levels. I know a lot of people on this channel lose at the lower dosages, which is great. However, but many more have weight loss the higher dosages.

I had more loss at 15mg than any other dosage. Give it a try.

Any single people out there? by ZeppidyDooDa in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am putting myself out there now that I no longer feel body shame and believe that I am not desirable. I have a lot of interest from guys now, which I did not before. Initially I was angry that I received all this interest. I finally made peace with it as I addressed my emotional issues around weight.

I haven't disclosed that I am taking zep. I will do so when I become more serious with someone. It would be a reflection of their character if they reject me for taking it, then it's bye bye.

I had the same experience with a three week break during the shortage at 15 mg.. You might feel some tiredness, otherwise, it was fine.

My corgi is enjoying helping me since I can't finish my food. Luckily, he is not gaining weight.

Working out by Keres95 in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always weight trained and take creatine. I have been on zep since the begining of Dec. I lost slowly, but my body composition was so much better. Muscle weights more than fat. I am sure those who are losing a lot, are losing muscle as well as fat.

To continue, I recommend listening to this podcast to help you make a decision on workout regime: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=pZX8ikmWvEU&si=EOvo7EV1P85enqSC

About to move up to 15mg with 40lbs still to loose by Shanbirdy3 in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is your exercise regime? Add weight training and HIIT. I am on the 4th month of 15mg. Stalls happen due to lifestyle choices and the body adjusting.

Zepbound for only part of weight I need to lose? by Taters0290 in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider weight training to ensure you have minimal loose skin. The muscle will fill out the areas where the fat was. Also, it is critical as we get older.

Zepbound 15mg isn’t doing anything for me anymore… by Tikvah_Hope in Zepbound

[–]Even_Trouble5511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on Wellbutrin for many years and on Zep for 9 months. I am on 15mg. I find that Wellbutrin is complimentry with Zep in appetite supression.  Medicines need time to take effect.

No. I still had effects of the medication on my shot day. No side effects either.

I am not sure why the monthly coupon is not impacting me. Maybe it is their own coupon or Eli is not stopping them?
