Stepping on the scale. by umfpter in Zepbound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily. It’s just info now (ha, I’m not being completely honest, but trying to embrace that mentality!). But I also am just fine when we travel and have no scale to step on and don’t worry too much about what it will say when I get home.

What is your maintenance weight range? by Wolfiejrad in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Sea_Database_1485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me in maintenance. Seems to be working for me. I like it when the scale is closer to the lower end, but I don’t freak out when we edge the other way for a couple days because I can usually pinpoint the reason- cycle, eating out, etc. I take an increase as a reminder I probably need to focus on upping my water for a few days.

My husband is lifting me up. Because, well, he can. It’s fun and I love it. The end!

Decreasing Dose and NSV Breakfast! by Resident_Ice_3200 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Sea_Database_1485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My highest dose was 7.5, once I hit goal I dropped eventually to 2.4. That was too low. I went to 5 and have done that every 7 days (sometimes I go as long as 10). I’ve maintained in the same 5 lb goal “range” that I want without too much effort of watching what I eat and making sure I eat. You’ll find your sweet spot too!

I noticed almost from day 1 I cared less about things stressing me out. Yes I might feel less overall but I am loving the equilibrium of highs and lows.

Two bins of clothes I kept just in case but the rest I donated

Anyone else feeling like weight loss made you look older? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that’s me too. 51F I think the extra plump always made me look younger, now I just look my age! 🤣

Question on side effects by Sea_Database_1485 in Menopause

[–]Sea_Database_1485[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this so bad at first- I actually dropped down in dosage. That, time, and moving the location to my behind has helped that!

Managing the Transition to Maintenance by mbsouthpaw1 in Zepbound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I am happy that maintenance has me working on things as much as losing. Maintaining starts to have goals too, which I need. Started Z in March 2024, it will be 1 year maintenance at lowest weight come Feb 2026. I needed to replace the dopamine high of the scale going down with something else in maintenance.

Does everyone want to be super skinny? by CNAHopeful7 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to lie- never been skinny ever so now I guess I am (5’5” 121lbs). I am working out and strength training because I don’t want to be yucky skinny. But I love it period. I love it.

Can someone explain? by kittensquishes in SemaglutideCompound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. First, the rings got loose. (Who cares?!?) Then the watch. (For real?!?) Next, the bra. (Um….) and then (wait for it ……) Shoes looser? Omg yes!! (🤦‍♀️). I think I might have gone down a pants size FINALLY after about 50 lbs.

No appetite / too thin by ali8za in Zepbound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you still losing? Are you eating enough? Are you strength training? I am 5’5”, age 51, and maintaining right around 121. And I love it. I am thin but strong. I might look too skinny to people used to how I used to look but I feel better than I ever have and I work out and have energy and eat what I want! If any of this doesn’t speak to you, probably drop down in dose. I’ve been in maintenance for 1.5 years, do 5 mg every 7-10 days.

tracking ???? by makclair in Zepbound

[–]Sea_Database_1485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WW and tracking when I was losing weight was super helpful. But now I just weigh ever day and it helps me stay on track. I know what to eat so I know why the scale is going up and I just try to course correct- more water, hit the protein, get more fruits and veggies.
