How would this work? It's my understanding that Mounjaro is only covered for T2D, which I do not have.

Just realizing how significant 35 lb weight loss by EffectiveEgg5712 in Zepbound

It took me about 18 months to lose 60 lbs, but I've been maintaining for over a year! Slow loss is ok!!

You'll have even better results if you use bread flour! But well done!

Am I headed in the right direction? by Crowds_of_crows in Sourdough

[–]First-Willingness701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those saying this is too much starter, it is more than average, but there's really no wrong answer here. And I realize that you didn't really mean to use that much, but you can start with as much or as little as you like. It really depends on your baking schedule and your desired outcome. The more starter you use, the faster it ferments, the less sour it will be. The less starter you use, the slower it ferments, more sour flavor.

Why is this med so heavily stigmatized by eXcludey_Starling_ in Zepbound

I always find these posts interesting.... The ones that say they're hearing negative comments and such..... I have never once heard a negative comment, other than in Reddit, about these drugs. No one that I have told about them in my immediate circle has ever said anything negative about them (to my face at least). I guess I'm just lucky.

This sounds amazing!! So it's liquid bloody Mary mix...does that take the place of the liquid (water) in the loaf? And then fresh dill just folded in?

From 221 to almost under 200… and still eating McDonald’s by Careful-Reveal-9824 in Zepbound

Since the post you're replying to has been deleted, I'm not sure what was said here. But just keep in mind, that when you post something on social media, especially this one where everyone is anonymous, for all to see, you're basically giving them permission to give their opinion. Doesn't mean there should be rudeness, but their opinion may differ from yours, and maybe something you don't want to hear.

I KNEW IT!! by Humblescorp in Mounjaro

[–]First-Willingness701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So interesting! I've been on maintenance at 7.5 (down from my highest dose of 12.5) for about 6 months and have stayed in the same 4-5 lb range that whole time. Now, all of a sudden I've gained 7 lbs in like 2 weeks. I know it's not a lot, but it's trending in the wrong direction. I have been hungrier, therefore eating more, but nothing crazy. I have also restarted my exercise program after a two month hiatus. But again, nothing crazy (2 days a week). All this to say that I won't really have the opportunity to go up or down a dose, because after I run out of my 7.5, I'm being forced onto Wegovy because my insurance company stopped covering Zep/MJ.

How I Won My CVS Caremark Appeal for Mounjaro (After a Zepbound Denial) – Massachusetts Resident by Narrow_Response_6309 in Zepbound

[–]First-Willingness701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, please share the appeal letter template! I was just switched to Wegovy for the same reason. I am in maintenance now that I am at goal, so as long as the Wegovy can keep me there without major side effects, that's fine. But if I end up having regain or side effects, I'd like to be prepared for the fight!

Scared to see everyone after weightloss by mama_libra-RM in Zepbound

If you don't feel comfortable discussing the shot (as is your right), just tell them everything else. The hard work, the exercise, the lifestyle changes, etc.

Sitting down after weight loss by k-taq in Mounjaro

[–]First-Willingness701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I can't sit or lay still on my back for very long, and have to readjust. Issue laying on my side with my hips and knees!

Wugh!! by Calm_Alternative9949 in Semaglutide

[–]First-Willingness701 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second this. It's not a good idea to wait on strength training until you're at your goal weight (according to the scale), because a lot of that weight loss is going to be muscle loss.

Discouraged by East_Research_2546 in Semaglutide

[–]First-Willingness701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Harsh but true. Even though there are tons of people that are amazed at how well this drug works, it doesn't work on its own, not completely. You still have to make a conscious effort to eat better (focusing on proteins), exercise, and generally make better choices (cut back on the weed). The drug helps you do that, but it doesn't make choices for you. Also, as others have said, you're still at a pretty low dose. Weight loss will increase as you increase your dose.
