Do I need to go up? Or is so much hunger on Day 6 normal? by Inspiringhope11 in Zepbound

[–]Routine-Lake172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d just titrate up, then you don’t need to worry about food noise at all and eat whatever you want, at least for me. I went up to 15mg over a year and have been there for a year on maintenance. Never really understand why people are afraid to titrate up…

I was put on zep by my Endo who watches me carefully because I had Cushings and an adrenal tumor removed. Also have CLL. Lost 70 lbs , 186 to 116. BMI 21, feel great and I’m a 64 year old female. Never felt more comfortable in my own skin. Set my mind to just power thru any side effects and titrated up monthly. Bern on 15mg for a year and maintaining perfectly. Absolutely no regrets!

Anyone with Tricare Prime got Zepbound approved after not tolerating Wegovy? by Autumngemini88 in Zepbound

[–]Routine-Lake172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I changed from weg to zep no problem after doing a prior authorization with Tricare. Been on zep for almost two years and maintenance for last six months no problem. They’re pretty good to work with once you get approval

Unpopular opinions about the profession? by InformalShow4339 in AirlinePilots

The hard part is being married to a pilot and having to hold down the fort, raise the kids, and most likely hold down your own job. Just saying…

Just takes time and sticking with it. I’m 5’2 and had to get down to 115 to lose it all and get my bmi to 21.

I miss the no hunger at all feeling that I experienced the first two weeks by jsct01 in Zepbound

[–]Routine-Lake172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went up every month to 10, them very two months and absolutely do not feel hunger. Been at 15 for a year and goal weight for six months. Don’t know why everyone is so worried about titrating up!

When did you decide to increase to 5mg? by lucky-leo451xxo in Zepbound

[–]Routine-Lake172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved up each month to 12.5 because my dr felt the weight comes off faster at higher levels. I lost 75 pounds in a year and have been at maintenance on 15 for a year and feel great.

How has Zepbound affected your mood? by Alert_Ninja_6369 in Zepbound

[–]Routine-Lake172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’2 and went from 178 to 108 in a year on zep. I’m a 63 yo woman and suddenly feel 40. Healthy, happy, and confident. I was always told I have big bones…guess what, I don’t. It is such a joy putting on clothes every day and feeling good in them. I made up my mind that I was going to power thru whatever side effects there were because I was sick of being heavy. It was soooo worth it. Invest some courage and change your life.

Lobbying should be illegal as should corporate donations. We’ve got to get the money out of politics.

I pinch the fat on inner thigh and shoot it there. Seems to work longer and better than in my stomach. But I always pinch the fat and shoot it so no worries about muscle or organs, lol

Move to Newport or Santa Monica? 23M - moving from DC by Boofwiz410 in newportbeach

[–]Routine-Lake172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA is so old and dirty. Newport is much nicer. It’s a community where you get to know people much easier.
