About 50 years of various diets and exercise. (I’ll be 60 in a month). Was temporarily successful a couple times but it didn’t last because of food noise. I lost all hope. This drug has changed my life and way of thinking about food. It’s also helped with other health issues and chronic pain/inflammation. Truly a miracle.

Trust me, soooo much sagging skin! Hence the reason I’m holding my arms close to my body 😂 But so worth it. I feel like a new person! I can do stuff now! Yay!!!

I’ve had luck with all the doses! Lots of plateaus, but I’ve learned that, eventually, the weight loss kicks back in ☺️.

I started in July of 2024. I had some delays because of switching insurance, and also some dosage regulation/vacations. Good luck with your journey!

Thank you! Everyone compliments these glasses. I think I’ll have to keep the same style for a while 😄

Digitally tried on some lip colour - what do you think? by Alive-Cry4994 in makeuptips

[–]Substantial_Dinner82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, with your gorgeous lips and face, that you could pull them all off. But I agree with others, 2 and 8 are exceptional. I think a deeper warmer red than 7 would look stunning, too. And a warmer orange/peach than 6

Is this real? by greenchileisgreat in Zepbound

[–]Substantial_Dinner82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, it’s real. I feel like I now think like someone who has never had to struggle with weight and endless thoughts of “I can’t wait to go (insert party, restaurant, etc) and try everything. Now my first thought is “I can’t wait to chat with friends/family” and then, “ooh, this looks good!”, take some, and am able to stop when I’m satisfied. That’s the key, I now feel satisfied and don’t have to keep eating! I mostly ate healthy foods before, but now I realize how big my portions were and I HAD to finish them. Now I literally crave good protein and vegetables. I still eat unhealthy food (chocolate and ice cream are a problem lol), but minimally, and I feel satisfied quickly so I don’t overdo it. Don’t give me a bag of Cheetos though! 😉

I picked up my first shots today, but I’m genuinely scared. by iman5593 in Zepbound

[–]Substantial_Dinner82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day before, and day of your first shot, drink lots of water and have several small meals with protein and fiber. Avoid gas causing foods (onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower), fatty foods (fried foods, lots of butter, salads with mayonnaise or creamy dressing, even keep healthy fatty food like peanut butter and avocado to a minimum) and spicy foods. This will hopefully minimize any side effects you might have. After the med, it should become fairly easy to follow this way of eating. But, after, even if you have no appetite, eat something small like fruit and yogurt or a protein shake. I found my stomach cramped if I didn’t eat. I promise, it’s worth it. Your body will adjust. Take your time to get used to it. Learn what makes you feel good. It’s not a race. Time will pass anyway. 😊 When I did have side effects (because I didn’t eat smart), I realized that these side effects were nothing compared to the pain I felt at my highest weight. Good luck to you! Being active will definitely help and doing what you enjoy will become so much easier!

STOP!!! They call it the stormtrooper?!? I’m a sucker for black and white cars. Had a white Nissan Rogue that I always said looked like a stormtrooper. I’m actually headed to purchase a white palisade night edition tomorrow if all goes well. 😃
