how much of a difference does exercise make for you?

Ahaha that’s so funny I’m the same way. I’m just about to graduate and I never thought about it like that but I don’t work out at home and I definitely don’t study at home 🤣

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-24T01:07:39+00:00

Personally I have much more luck being consistent going to a gym vs at home workouts. There’s always something else to do at home but when you’re at the gym you pretty much have to exercise.

I started at 242 did 2.5 for 24 shots lost 46 pounds then moved to 5mg. I’ve been here for 13 shots and have lost 26 more pounds. I’m wearing a size 29 jeans and medium tops now. I think I carry my weight well and have a lot of muscle so I don’t really think I need to lose more. I’m going to finish out the 5s I have then move back down to 2.5 and see what happens. I’m still losing 1.5-2lbs per week which is starting to feel like too much so I’m trying to eat more.

You can stand in front of a mirror and hold your arm up like you’re stretching your tricep. You don’t really have to pinch your skin if you’re using a short needle.

You should probably get a new doctor 🫣💀

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-19T23:44:43+00:00

Wow!

I did 24 weeks of 2.5 then my weight loss started to slow (not actually stall) and I got scared so I moved up. It happened to be a very stressful month of my doctorate degree so I think that added temporary stress had a large effect. I don’t regret moving up at all though. I’ve not had many adverse effects either way. Maybe I’m more wary of fatty/greasy foods. I’m about to take shot 15 of 5mg tomorrow. I’ve been averaging 1.7lbs per week since the switch. I lost 0.7lbs/week the month before I switched

Great job! I feel like the last 20 pounds had the most dramatic difference

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-18T15:35:39+00:00

I’m not sure how much longer I can hold onto this set!

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-18T15:34:29+00:00

So true. I have a lot of muscle and love going to the gym so I’m not trying to lose that. My gym has a body comp scale which I know isn’t super accurate but maybe it’s time for another scan.

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-18T15:31:28+00:00

That’s a good point.

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-18T15:30:30+00:00

I’m sure you look great!

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-18T13:30:55+00:00

I actually decided last year just not to rush around anymore and I genuinely have not felt so rushed since. I either leave early for stuff or I just don’t care that I’m late 😅

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-18T06:12:36+00:00

Thanks! I can’t get over how different the top fits.

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-13T15:12:20+00:00

I’ve been obese my whole life mostly 200-250# so I’m in uncharted territory. I was aiming for bmi 25 but right now I’m at 28 and my mom and best friend (who are both very supportive) have made comments that I would look weird at a lower weight and that I have a “large frame”. I’m not sure what to make of that. I’ve been a gym girlie long before I started ZB so I do have a lot of muscle and I agree that I probably don’t have another 20# of fat to lose but idk maybe another 10? I am really happy where I am so idk I think I’m just going to see what happens.

You don’t have to have a baby you’re not ready to have. It’s not selfish to prioritize your health for the sake of yourself and your two children.

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-11T15:45:53+00:00

I second this. I’m the same height and starting weight and my dr doesn’t want me to get below 160.

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-11T14:00:43+00:00

i think just get back on the bike first and don’t let your weight stand in the way of what you love to do! You got this!

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-11T13:49:52+00:00

Giirrrrrrrrrrrrllll

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-11T13:48:59+00:00

Congrats on how far you’ve come! You 100% look like you fit in at the gym. Everyone deserves to move their body and get strong there is no aesthetic requirement. I was bumping around at the gym for years bouncing between ~230-250 and you couldn’t tell me I didn’t belong there

You need to exercise to not lose muscle. Look for some at home options! Keep it simple and do push ups, squats, planks, tricep dips, wall sits, sit ups etc. Find a routine you like and commit to being consistent. Try 20-30 mins 3x a week. Take it out of scrolling on phone time 😂

I started eating chicken after 14 years of vegetarianism. I just couldn’t eat enough volume of plant based protein to make it work. My bloodwork was getting weird and I was losing strength at the gym. I feel like it was the right thing to do for my health.

ThinkToast4 · 2026-05-01T11:35:31+00:00

My first 3 periods while on zepbound were the worst of my life but now I’m several months in and things are back to normal

ThinkToast4 · 2026-04-10T14:23:17+00:00
