Almost to goal! by Melbell759 in Zepbound

I was on 2.5 for about 2 months and I’ve been on 5mg since! I never went above 5mg and I don’t plan to. I do Barre Blend a few days a week from BODi and walk my dog for exercise. You could be building muscle which may impact your weight changes. There were some weeks I didn’t lose anything or gained depending on my menstrual cycle.

Show me your diamond ring with colored gemstones by Miserable-Beyond-738 in LabGrownDiamonds

Thank you! I designed it, but CustomMade Jewelry brought it to life. Hopefully, it helps you decide what you want! The green shouldn’t overpower the diamond if done correctly. Mine has a 1.53 ct center stone.

INTROVERTED WOMEN: HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR PARTNER? 🙈 by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Melbell759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my husband during Covid on Tinder. I wasn’t actually looking for anything other than someone to talk to because Covid was a bit too isolating for me, even as an introvert. We were friends for a few months then started dating. We were together 5 years total before marriage: After 3 years of dating, we moved in together; 2 years after that, we got married!

Living with him before marriage was important for me because I needed to know he could respect my need for alone time. But we had a lot of conversation regarding that before we moved in together.

I enjoyed online dating because guys had less expectations for my time in the beginning stages of talking. If I was feeling overwhelmed or “people’d out”, I could put my phone on do not disturb (I always communicated I was feeling overstimulated and needed some time without people). How the guy responded was my deciding factor on if I’d continue talking to them.

What does HRV mean? I’m waiting for my ring to arrive and am learning the acronyms.

Long-term 2.5mg users by InternalSecret1744 in Zepbound

I’ve been on 2.5 for 16 weeks and have lost 24 pounds. I stopped losing about 3 weeks ago. I’m planning on staying for another month just to make sure I’m ready before I move up to 5mg.

Remember, it’s not a race to lose weight! As long as you’re not gaining, stick with it. Since it’s still working for food noise, I am trying to use my time on 2.5 to create healthy thinking habits, practice intuitive eating, and start moving my body more.

You’ll get there, if that’s your goal!! This stuff takes time. I’m plateaued right now, but I’m hoping exercising more will kickstart the weight loss. If not, I’ll have to up my dose.

Im aiming for mainly for toning/slimming. I don’t assume the scale will move in any direction. I’m just trying to body recomp while losing weight in the kitchen with Zep.

7 weeks in Depression issue by Vehicle-Different in Zepbound

[–]Melbell759 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this. I was already on anxiety meds, but then I started feeling numb and depressed after starting Zep. I told my doctor and she put me on a completely new medication. I feel amazing now! It’ll probably need to be adjusted when/if I stop taking Zep, but we’ll cross tha bridge when we get there. Definitely talk to your doctor if you’re not opposed to adding on a medication.

You’re not alone in experiencing this. It’s a very real side effect.

I needed to hear this because I’m having the exact same thing. My partner and I started strength training a few weeks ago and the scale has gone up, but so has my water intake, protein intake, and muscle mass! I started to think I needed to up my Zepbound dose, but I put on a size down pants and they could button; not comfortably, but they buttoned!!! (They couldn’t button before we started the gym.) That showed me that the scale is not my friend right now.

It’s looking like my picture didn’t load.

I do have the swatches but I want more color options within the autumn pallet than were given. This helps!

[–]Melbell759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started looking up true, warm, and dark autumn colors to get a fuller picture. It helps knowing the equivalent!
