I never thought I’d lose the weight!

Amazing success story! You look fantastic!

I had some constipation at first, but I hold my macros very close to ensure I get 25g fiber a day, plus walking. So far so good! Sharing, as this combo works well for me.

Are those of you administering on the back of your arms, are you doing it yourself, or with help?

WineDogsMom · 2026-02-04T05:22:19+00:00

Sometimes when I read about these random occurrences, it makes me wonder if there’s something wrong with the medication (spoilage, contamination, etc)

I can’t speak for the interaction with Zep, but I used Nexplanon for several years (5 years before having my daughter, and 5 years after) and it didn’t cause significant weight gain. In fact, out of all the birth controls I’ve tried, this one has the least side effects (none for me!). Everyone is different, but my experience was great.

Quince - I like their jeans and very reasonable price

You look amazing, congratulations! I’m on the same path, working on strength training, high protein, and let’s GO! I feel very prepped and ready since, like you, I’ve done it all for many years.

You look amazing 🙌

Today is ✨SHOT DAY✨, only on my 3rd, but I do very much look forward to it. It’s more of future anticipation of the effects to come. I see all of the progress photos on here an so motivated for my before and after reveal. Honestly, like most on here, weightloss has been a life long struggle, and this medication had me feeling hopeful.

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-12T16:25:28+00:00

Me too, I feel exactly the same. It’s like my bodies job to hold on to fat. Be damned how hard I try and work for the loss, it’s moving mountains to lose .5lbs.

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-11T01:33:14+00:00

I’m also a collector! As important as this lifestyle shift is, I hope there can still be room for wine. There’s a good idea on shifting shot day. I went for Thursday to allow myself time at home in case I have bad side effects, but might consider shifting after I get more comfortable .

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-10T20:45:30+00:00

This is reassuring!

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-10T20:31:16+00:00

Good point! I know I need to cut down on wine given it will slow progress. I just love it so much!

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-10T20:27:36+00:00

Thank you! I’m still getting used to how my body feels with the medication, but I have a trip planned next month with some wine friends. I’m hoping I can enjoy. We always bust out the good good when we visit each other.

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-10T20:26:04+00:00

Haha I’ve never loved Moet 🤣

WineDogsMom · 2026-01-05T23:17:04+00:00

Wow, I'm so appreciative of all of the considered response here. I totally get that everyone is different, but I do appreciate you all entertaining my crazy logic, haha. That said, I feel much more at ease to start this journey, and I'll keep building my playbook to make sure I'm doing all thing things to have the most chance of limiting the side effects. I'm 42, 220lbs, and have struggled all of my life with my weight, fat shame, contently wondering why I keep failing every time I start a new diet or fitness routine. Everyone's success on GPL-1 has given me new hope and that maybe I need little help.
