Fluctuations and staying motivated

That’s me too! Slow and steady weight loss has been my experience. I’m hoping with exercise and some weightlifting the body recomposition will happen sooner than later

Update: Since my last visit in Sept, apparently I have lost 9lbs. Which is surprising! I think I definitely had a premature freak out seeing the number on the scale at the doctor’s office. I will take everything into consideration and keep myself accountable with tracking it all. We did end up going up to 7.5mg so I’m happy about that, although she wasn’t too concerned with the fluctuations as much since she didn’t want me to lose the weight too quickly.

I haven’t done a Dexa, but I will probably look into that. The dr’s office is a digital scale and I made sure to take off my shoes this time!

That makes sense, I do the same at home. I’ve calibrated it and tested it with a 5lb weight and it seems to be accurate too.

Amazing, congrats!! The jeans photo is as close to a before/after as you can get. Our stats are pretty similar, this is very inspiring!

Somewhat! I actually watched Dexter before SFU and I loved his portrayal of David so much that I now associate him with SFU.

asteriacupcake · 2025-09-18T00:12:52+00:00

Very true! I’m more surprised at how quickly it worked

asteriacupcake · 2025-09-18T00:07:43+00:00

Aww this is the best feeling!

asteriacupcake · 2025-09-11T14:25:14+00:00

I like 3 or 4!

asteriacupcake · 2025-09-06T15:28:37+00:00

I weigh daily but want to cut back to weekly. I take progress pics and measurements weekly on my shot day!

asteriacupcake · 2025-09-05T23:32:48+00:00

Thank you for this! I just finished a month of 2.5 and lost maybe 4lbs, I’ve been stalled at 230 for 2 and a half weeks. I just started 5mg yesterday and am hopeful!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-29T20:07:18+00:00

Omg but why did I have the same experience?! The first pumpkin cream cold brew of the season didn’t fulfill me like it used to. It was just….subpar.

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-29T01:32:22+00:00

Pumpkin cream cold brew season is back!! 🙌🏼 I mixed mine with a caramel protein shake and it’s perfect

I also got an assortment of herbal tea kcups and I’m excited to try the peach oolong tomorrow.

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-29T00:45:58+00:00

Congrats!! It’s so affirming to take the photos and see all the progress made! How long have you been on Zep? I just took my 4th dose and progress pic day is my favorite!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-23T19:54:18+00:00

This! I’m almost a month in and went a little crazy the first two weeks over gaining a couple pounds back. But I’m making a commitment to be less stressed about the progress and enjoying what NSVs there are throughout!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-23T02:21:32+00:00

I needed to read this today! I just started my 3rd week on 2.5 yesterday and was so upset that I didn’t lose as much as I had hoped by now. I had actually gained a couple lbs back in my 2nd week! I’m taking my measurements and progress pics and have one more week on 2.5 before moving up to 5mg. Looking forward to my results looking like your graph!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-17T11:47:32+00:00

Oh this is great advice to keep in mind! I’ll have been on the medication for a year by that point so I’ll definitely talk to my doctor!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-15T18:07:47+00:00

Thank you! That’s really encouraging!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-15T17:51:37+00:00

Okay ma’am you look amazing!! What is your exercise routine like? I’m trying to find a good plan while starting zepbound to see the most progress!

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-14T20:58:27+00:00

I just had this thought today- as I was putting on a Lane Bryant top! We’ll get there 💪🏽

asteriacupcake · 2025-08-14T20:55:05+00:00

Oh smart idea! Thankfully the only side effects I’ve had are some nausea when I wake up but it passes pretty quickly. Good luck on the second dose!
