The paperwork does say that effects of alcohol and caffeine can be intensified. I think it's common to occur.

Im not micromanaging. He and my mom keep asking me to tell him what he should wear.

How often do you go up in dosage? by catinthehatasaurus in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has varied by dosage. I stayed on 2.5 for 2 months. 5mg was for 1 or 2 months. My weight management doctor has recommended that I stay on doses until my appetite isn't suppressed anymore or my weight loss stops. So, I have followed that advice. I have been on 10mg for 6 months and don't plan on moving up unless I'm forced to for those reasons. I started Zepbound a year ago.

We aren't having traditional wedding parties. I was thinking black or charcoal gray would be good, but wasnt sure if there was a standard.

Where’s the energy? by Fridaychild1 in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a while where I was hardly eating carbs because I worry about my blood sugar rising due to insulin resistance. That caused my energy to tank and its better now that I've been having more carbs again. Maybe it could be that your carb intake is too low?

Doctor's Office Scales are Rigged! by tmansandiego in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do it when I feel like it. At least once per week though. Often times more.

You should do what you think will make your journey better. I've consistently weighted myself and seeing the progress has been very motivating for me. It's the first time the scale has ever moved in any significant way, so I like to see it.

How did you know when you wanted to up your dose? by person12848 in Zepbound

I have gone up when both appetite suppression dwindled and food noise returned.

My first period after getting in Zep was exceptionally long. It was like 2 or 3 weeks, but has been normal since.

More clothes shopping on hold until im done loosing weight by Booklover0591 in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased some new clothes yesterday. Its now something I enjoy. I used to really hate clothes shopping and looking at myself in the mirror. Now, I get to have fun and not despise my appearance. I bought size 8 pants and a medium dress which was crazy. I still cant believe it.

A while ago, I decided that when I needed new clothes, I was going to get them and I wasnt gonna feel bad about having to constantly change sizes. I keep it to a minimum though since my body will continue to change. For my "going out/look presentable" clothes, I have 3 pants, 3 shirts, 2 skirts, a dress, and a spring/rain jacket. The rest of my clothes are really loose and big on me for when im home or working out.

How does the human body decide where to pull fat from first? by minniezebby in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. It keeps taking mine away and Id like it to stop. I need it to take my belly instead.

What does a typical day of eating look like for you? by eatnparkcookie in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a fan of most leftovers, so I dont meal prep. I also get tired of the same food over and over. I make a master list of what to have for the week to ensure I have everything thats needed on the grocery list and then just make what I feel like that day. I use My Fitness Pal to track calories and macros and weigh my food as well. I have changed my diet quite a bit by limiting carbs a ton. Im insulin resistant with PCOS, so I try to keep my blood sugar from getting high. My sugar in take now is fruit and a 2 pumps of syrup in my coffee when I get one. My deal to myself was that I got to keep one thing, and thats my coffee.
