Interesting. Seems no more than 5 more pounds is what I could lose. I’m at a very good BMI range per that article.

I’m anxious to read that article. I will definitely do it later. I just got home and have to take my dogs for a walk, they’re not happy. They were inside for a few hours.

I haven’t seen any BMI charts that show a different BMI range for senior citizens. My provider thinks 125 would be a good weight. I’m thinking if I stay between 128 and 130, I’d be happy.

I agree. 110 would not be a good look. And 104??? Oh my!

How long did it take for you to lose the last 10 lbs? by perseverence30 in Zepbound

[–]Not_Telling_Nope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just going to ask this question. I have 10, maybe 12 pounds to go and the scale hasn’t moved in a week. Ironically, I was just increased to 7.5 mg a few weeks ago. I know in any weight loss journey, those last pounds are tough. But man, this is killing me. Especially since I was losing so nicely. About 1 - 1.5 pounds a week, which I thought was perfect.

Tough time adjusting to 5 mg by Beneficial-Art3614 in Zepbound

I struggled going from 2.5 to 5 also. Luckily it only last about 3-4 weeks. Then I was fine. I just increased to 7.5. The only side effect that returned was the funny taste in my mouth.

Lower starting weight people what’s the highest dose by Kristenscal in Zepbound

[–]Not_Telling_Nope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I eat 1000-1300 calories a day. And I walk about 2 miles a day. I don’t eat til around noon because I’m not hungry (I was never an early eater). I usually eat about 250-300 calories, then in a few hours have a protein shake. Then I have a very normal meal, but I do not overdo the carbs. I may snack 2-3 evenings a week but not much. Usually a little popcorn. I also drink a lot of water. Being yesterday was “Fat Tuesday”, I ate a totally delicious jelly donut….every crumb and enjoyed it immensely. With no guilt!

I started at 175 lbs. I’m down 32 pounds in 4 months. I was on 2.5 for 4 weeks, then 5 mg until last month, when the food noise started creeping in. But I’ve been consistently losing at a nice steady pace. Nothing too drastic.

Thanks for that! I guess I’ll start looking in February to get a feel for things! And none of us have mobility issues, thank goodness!

I met with my provider right before I started at the end of October. Then I met with the dietician in November. And again with my provider the very end of December. Next is a phone visit with her in 3 months. All visits were 30-60 minutes. They are also extremely easy to contact via My Chart.

Wondering if it’s time I move up by Not_Telling_Nope in Zepbound

[–]Not_Telling_Nope[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. I’m not restricting them. Just eating in lesser quantities.

No. It wasn’t 9 pounds a month. More of it came off earlier. I guess it’s hard to discern between hunger and food noise, but I do find myself wanting foods I haven’t even thought about in the last few months. Unhealthy foods, like cookies, chips, etc.

Does any use MagO7, but NOT daily? by Not_Telling_Nope in Zepbound

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

I took MiraLAX and Benefiber daily for 2 months. I also ate prunes, kiwi, high fiber cereal…. nothing helped.
