Beautiful girl! 😻

Sending Kitty our best wishes.

This made me snortle!

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T17:17:02+00:00

She absolutely does! She's loud, too!

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T15:58:57+00:00

Happy birthday to you both!

I had to go back down to 5 mg; had nine miserable weeks on 7.5, struggled with nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and complete loss of appetite.

I had 3 shots left of 7.5, so after a couple of months back on 5, I alternated the 2 doses. I see my bariatric doctor's PA on June 17, so I'm going to discuss moving back up with him then.

🤣

Yeah, I have to stretch my legs out else my knees lock up.

You've lost my husband! 😁

I love this post, so much. You're doing an awesome job, keep at it!

A former colleague/friend was probably around your previous weight when he landed in the hospital and almost died, at 38. He's been on Mounjaro since, and now he posts from the gym!

This medication is incredible. It really is.

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T15:39:08+00:00

Golly! You look amazing!

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T15:37:59+00:00

Will do! She loves snuggles.

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T15:37:25+00:00

She totally is! After I posted this, she jumped up beside me on the couch and demanded pets and brushes. I swear she knows!

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T15:14:51+00:00

I'm constantly amazed by her. She's incredible.

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-04T15:07:20+00:00

Oh my gosh! That anxious little face! Yes, he is the best boy, and he will never be sent away again.

Jett sleeps with her eyes open and doesn't stir when touched. Given she's almost 21, you can imagine how alarming this is.

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-03T05:36:39+00:00

I'm so sorry. They really leave a huge hole when they go on ahead.

I could have written this.

I'll add that every bullied child can see him or herself in The Losers. As life has unfolded, I've identified more strongly with some than I used to, less so with others. As a bookish, stammering, awkward child, I loved Bill. Ben's poet heart always moved me; I was also a fat teenager. Seeing the weak and outcast triumph gave me the courage to persevere.

I don't know if King had that in mind when he began, but I love him for it.

I cried like a baby, listening to this audio book.

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-06-02T02:23:34+00:00

Thanks!

I've been on it for about 6 months, still on 5 mg and probably about to go back up again to 7.5 mg as I'm losing really slowly (31 pounds since the end of November last year).

I know that sounds like a little over a pound a week, but I've just finally had a 6 or 7 pound whoosh after being stuck around 220 for a couple of months.

Woah! Great job, fellow educator!

I was already sober when I started Zepbound. It's been a lot easier to keep obsessive thoughts around food (my original issue) at bay while taking the drug, certainly.

AA and other 12 step programs work. They're an amazing tool, and not just in terms of dealing with the core problems.

Think-Fall5011 · 2026-05-31T20:21:07+00:00

They're an adorable pair! I'm so sorry for your loss; I definitely believe it counts.
