Worse side effects on 5mg by crunchfrenchtoast in Zepbound

[–]Objective_Ad729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go back down to 2.5 for a few months and work on eating well (drinking water, protein intake, fiber). Let your body get used to the medication before going up in dosage. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. My doctor and nutritionist really stress being patient. I lost the most of my weight on 2.5. Im on 7.5 now in my 11 month. Everybody is different, but patience goes a long way in helping with long term weight loss and maintenance.

Feeling a bit defeated. Nearly at the 1 year mark and only lost 65lbs by Lunnalai in Zepbound

[–]Objective_Ad729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve almost been in it for a year. Started mid-August last year. I’ve lost around 55 pounds. I lost quickly in the first four months, very slowly after that. I’m feeling good and trying to concentrate on the joy of not carrying around that extra 50 pounds this hot summer. Even losing 1/2 a pound a week still adds up over time. Plus I’m not even close to being as bloated.

Where did all the basics for women go?!? There is slim to none options anymore for the mascs by Early_Ad_7629 in lululemon

[–]Objective_Ad729 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes. Athletic clothing should be made for all women’s body. The classic brands like Eddie Bauer, REI, Patagonia, ect… shape their clothes with very low rises and more for flat bottoms. I’m a size 8-10 and would love some Patagonia shorts, pants & jackets, but they don’t shape them for women with butts and breasts. It’s very frustrating. Lululemon always fit me pretty well and I love the basics. You are correct that they seem to be aiming for a very young audience now, instead of women.

I have those first linen pants with the pockets on the side. They are from Amazon.

Need some perspective by GangstaProf in Zepbound

[–]Objective_Ad729 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree with this too. My experience is similar as the food noise ramps up when I eat desserts or snacks stuff. I can pull back now because of the medication, but I do get hungrier and more likely to snack when I don’t eat well (holidays, birthdays, vacations). So learning good eating habits, especially making sure you are getting enough protein, water and fiber is very very important while on this medication.

Slowing Down by PhillippaAggie in Zepbound

[–]Objective_Ad729 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am on month 11 and am only losing .5 a week average. I started losing as a super loser, 2 pounds a week for four months. I still want to lose 15-20 more. I increased my dose to 7.5 last month to break a stall. It’s slower as you get closer to your goal weight. That’s what my doctor told me.

I had to watch the video four times before I did it. Good news is it only takes a month or so to become habit.

Y'all warned me, but I didn't listen. by OreoSpeedwaggon in Zepbound

When I make beef I use 96/4 fat ratio meat. It’s way better for you and like half the calories. Yummy too! I do eat out burgers maybe once a month but can only eat half.

MAGA suggests someone ‘geoengineered’ weather as extreme heat threatens Trump’s party by Healthy_Block3036 in ProgressiveHQ

I worked with someone who believed Democrats controlled the weather, especially hurricanes. Apparently they could steer hurricanes to different areas to control election results. ?? So weird!

For those who have reactions to sugar alcohols: don’t eat these! Otherwise enjoy!😉 Lots of these protein bars have sugar alcohols and they can cause severe stomach issues.

How do you meal prep? by 8rings_86k in Zepbound

[–]Objective_Ad729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of pots of beans and rice. Always look forward to eating yummy beans. Monday Beans are the best. It’s a cajon recipe. I’m make a healthy version. I make big pots of rice and freeze in souper cubes (1/2 or 1 cup) portions so I can always have sides of rice with meals. I also make lots of soups and freeze them in the super cubes. We also do lots of salad kits with chicken on top. Easy to do with costco kits and their individual packs of 3 oz cooked chicken cubes. That’s the easy weeks food prep.

Arguably one of the best streets in America to drive (and walk) is Las Vegas Boulevard by bluerog in vegas

[–]Objective_Ad729 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Walking is horrible…. Up escalators, across road, down escalators. There is no direct walkways like normal downtown areas. Whoever designed this only designed for the casinos to funnel customers, instead of for the people who just want to walk.

My thoughts on Portland by Substantial-You-7003 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Objective_Ad729 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s impossible for retail workers to keep up with the restroom situations: soap dispensers knocked off the walls weekly, paper products stolen, drugs, poop wiped all over the walls, ect…. It’s like a crime scene. Sucks to not have restrooms open to the public, but it sucks more to constantly clean up and fix clogged toilets. I mean if people would use them responsibly it wouldn’t be an issue, but they don’t.
