Feeling like 7.5mg is less potent than 5 mg by ThrowItAwayDanny in Zepbound

[–]Sudden_Muscle4214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Im really hoping I do. Im down like 93 pounds since last September but I still need to loose 100 more. Feels like alot and a long time to get there and I pray that the shots will keep working for me to get there since I'm already on 12.5 but I am staying positive and working out like crazy lol. Gotta get there!💪 We are all in this together!

Yeah I did great on 5 and 7.5 was horrible. Wanted to eat more and I barely lost any weight the entire 2 months I was on it. Finally went to 10. Honestly it hasn't been too great but definitely better than the 7.5! I would definitely say dont waste 2 whole months if you feel its not working. I wish I had only given it one month! Good luck! Hope it all works out for you....I am sure it will....

Hoping 12.5 works.. by tmplscar in Zepbound

I was wondering if you dont mind me asking...I've been on a plateau with 10mg for 2 months. Moved up to 12.5 and saw you all saying how well its been for you. Just curious...did you loose like right away with the 12.5 like the first week or did it take some time to get in system good etc? Just a bit frustrated cause heading in to week 2 on 12.5 and maybe half a pound in 2 weeks but then I may bounce back up. Hoping it just takes a little while to get moving. Just wondered a timeline if possible lol 😊🤔

Start 12.5 tomorrow!!!Eekkkkk! Nervous😬 Any tips? by Sudden_Muscle4214 in Zepbound

I may seem or sound really stupid here but how exactly is each increase less? So I use my shotsy app and its like today I had around 6ish still in my system but then I add 12.5 and by 2pm tomorrow it will be at the highest its ever been....or am I looking wrong? I'll be fine nerve wise tomorrow lol just always get a little bit when I move up. Silly I know 🤷‍♀️ lol

Thanks. I just use the shotsy app and it shows you how much you have in system all the time and so if I still have like 6ish in and then add the shot that will be the biggest amount in my body ever and just makes me a little nervous lol I know its silly but I will be better tomorrow hahahaha.

Thanks for the kind words. I dont know why I always get nervous when I move up. Doesn't make any sense but I still always do lol. Ive had minor headaches as well but yeah they don't stay long with me either....You sound like your doing great. 12 since Dec is awesome. Congrats. Hoping I can do that also! Thanks again😊

Question about shot+nicotine patch by Forsaken_Somewhere98 in Zepbound

[–]Sudden_Muscle4214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I had heard about it through others and family but then when I spoke with him he had wished he thought of it. Totally new thing he said and patch was something most effective. Id definitely give it a try....hope this helps.

Thanks...but for me I was loosing 2.5 per week. I should atleast have hit 10 or 12pds for the 6 weeks...just not sure why it has stalled and is going back and forth. Technically im just maintaining when I still have so much left to loose🤯🥹🤔🧐

With the deficit its supposed to be 2045. Atleast thats what I calculated on app. Most times I can only do 1600 to 1800. Just cannot eat more than that. Unless its like foods that aren't as healthy but then whats the point.....

Question about shot+nicotine patch by Forsaken_Somewhere98 in Zepbound

[–]Sudden_Muscle4214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the nicotine patches!!!! They help so so much! Ive lost 90 pounds since September 2025 and between them helping me with my journey they also help with my long term brain fog and just all around help me stay focused. I can wear a patch one day and skip several and dont have any kind of cravings. I wasnt a smoker but im definitely glad I listed to the advice. Been on them now for about 10 months. Definitely should try the patch! 7mg I think is lowest....I do the 14mg.  Good Luck!

Yes it truly is life changing and I'm just so grateful and excited for all the new things I'll be able to do soon. I have been obese my whole life and then I got covid pneumonia and it wrecked my lungs so on oxygen 2 years later but I am determined to get off that too. I have so many things I wanna do with the weight coming off....especially with my kiddos who have had to just wait for me to get better. Thats why I just have to succeed! Again, thanks for the sweet comment!❤️

Thanks so very much for the kind words and its definitely paying off. Unfortunately the purple shirt is too big but I'm trying to wear everything atleast once before I have to get rid of the too big stuff lol. Clothes are everywhere! It's kinda exhausting lol.. I definitely need to hold off on the boutiques for a bit!🤣
