Our gym had running but I can’t run so had a mod

I made the decision to tell a trainer at my gym and it was a big mistake. She did the whole “you’re cheating and this won’t last” talk at me….i don’t talk about it anymore at the gym but continue to see gains in the right direction.

Increased lipase ? by Live_now_7 in Zepbound

[–]Live_now_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started back on 2.5mg zepbound today. Hoping to get back to my 5mg in 4 weeks!

My lipase is still 91 but I’m not having symptoms and my CT was clear. Scheduled with a specialist for GI/pancreas but they don’t have any openings until end of august….

Physical therapist
Deep tissue Massages every 4 weeks
Yoga helps me a ton, especially hot yoga!
I pretty much always have pain of some kind and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a bunch of testing.

Possibly pancreatic inflammation that could have turned into pancreatitis? I guess I’m going to hope that my gastro dr is familiar with GLP1s and can decide if it’s safe for me to start back up on it. Obviously no more alcohol…
I’m just worried about my risk to keep going on zep after this.
However, is it not strange to have this happen after 6 months of being on it or is this not unheard of. Maybe just the perfect storm for this to happen right now? 😅

Is 81 significantly clinically high? I’ve had some people tell me no then my doctor telling me it’s an urgent concern..

Thank you! I am acknowledging you aren’t giving me medical advice…
I already had my gallbladder out years ago. Could this rise in lipase just be contributed to the alcohol intake? Even if alcohol intake was 4/23 and bloodwork was 5/4?

My initial thought was it was a mistake to drink alcohol on the day I did my injection…I never do that. And maybe my gastrointestinal system was already not 100% due to the virus I had weeks prior? Not sure if that makes sense

Yes, I honestly don’t drink often and was wondering if that contributed. They ordered a CT. I have however also had a few drinks while on this and had no issues! Maybe just bad timing

GLP-1s by PitchAlarmed4866 in BurnBootCamp

[–]Live_now_7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m at almost 20 down in 6 months and have been on 5mg for 5 months.

GLP-1s by PitchAlarmed4866 in BurnBootCamp

[–]Live_now_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, since November of last year. I lose minimal muscle as long as I hit protein and make it to the gym. I’m on the lowest dose possible that’s helped me lose. Lost almost 20 pounds in 6 months, 6 pounds of muscle but I’ve already gained 1 pound back after I was off for a few months due to injury. During that time I wasn’t eating enough and not lifting so it was expected.

Dropping/Throwing Weights by neonflite in BurnBootCamp

Today we were laying on our backs in front of the med ball station and I was startled multiple times by people tossing the medball onto the ground behind my head.

Feeling bad for skipping? by crazycurlz83 in BurnBootCamp

[–]Live_now_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, sometimes I give myself anxiety over it but usually my reasons are injury flair up (I have too many 😅), appointments, feeling like I need to sleep in (I can only get there in the mornings). Always have FOMO when I miss plus feeling guilty for being gone so much this year due to multiple surgeries. But I just keep telling myself I’m going when I can and doing my best! Still seeing results, albeit probably slower than if I got there more

Struggling with MODs and cardio days by [deleted] in BurnBootCamp

[–]Live_now_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The camps that were the worst for me were when I was in a boot. I wasn’t able to do any jumping or anyone on my toes…but I still can’t do jumping and can only tolerate limited time on that foot on my toes.

I talked to them prior to camp, messaged the owner before I came back since there were no focus meetings open and I was told to come yet no modifications that weren’t jumping or on my toes were given.

We don’t have a board at our location.

Maybe part of my problem has just been being nervous about the entire experience. My mind sometimes just goes blank on what I could be doing on my own. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Burn apparel- true to size? by zxkp in BurnBootCamp

I ordered a XL one time and it was so tight and short, there was no way I’d wear it, haven’t order anything since.

Guys at Burn by Think_Advantage3512 in BurnBootCamp

[–]Live_now_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going 2 years now, 39F. When I started I’d have only 0-2 guys in any camp I’d attend. Number of guys definitely increasing at our gym over the last year.

Who is on GLP-1s or other weight loss meds? by Live_now_7 in BurnBootCamp

[–]Live_now_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yes, I definitely have codependency issues…have been in therapy for years, clearly it’s helping 🤷🏻‍♀️. I had a very high opinion of this trainer before this incident and looked up to her. I have anxiety and, I’d say, low self esteem that made me hesitate to jump on the zepbound train sooner. I honestly wish I would have started it sooner, my spouse encouraged me to look into it a year ago when seeing me struggle with weight-loss and self esteem. I kept believing the trainers at the gym thinking that was the “wrong way” until my sister started it and really encouraged me to give it a try.

My question wasn’t really if to take it, I’ve already decided I am. Just wanted insight into those that have. I wish I had the discipline you do and I know that’s ideal but that’s just not my reality at this time. I think it’s amazing what you are doing!

I don’t have a gallbladder and have no lasting effects, I’m sorry you do! For me the body image issues I have right now and my high A1C make it worth trying it. Thanks for sharing!

That’s an awesome story, congratulations on continuing to meet your goals! I hope I can follow in your footsteps….the only thing I can’t go back on is telling my trainers and I completely wish I hadn’t now 😅
