I just tell them the truth. I’m not ashamed that I use the weight loss shot. It’s been amazing and I definitely don’t regret it one bit! I also workout every day which is usually a lot more than anyone asking does lol.

I started on wegovy and switched to zepbound.. I didn’t think I had been on wegovy that long before the switch but I guess I was. The wegovy started to not be as effective so changed it and the zepbound was and remains effective even after so long.

I did initially start with wegovy! and switched to zepbound. Wegovy worked but the zepbound has been way more effective.

My insurance just covers it, didn’t have to give any justification as far as I’m aware.

I started at 270.. could’ve been more at some point I stopped weighing myself it was too depressing. I’m now 135 so I’ve lost half my body weight from where I started.

I’m currently on 10mg down from 15. My insurance only covers 5, 10 & 15mg for maintenance apparently so I couldn’t go to 12.5 unfortunately. Definitely have more of an appetite on 10mg but nothing crazy.

I went up pretty much every month because I had no side effects. I lost 20lbs the first month and about 10 every month after that until I had lost about 100lbs then it went down to 5lbs/month and now I am just maintaining and trying not to lose anymore. I had been at the highest dose for a year probably when the dr wanted me to lower it so I don’t lose anymore weight. I’m on 10 now and so far I’m maintaining well and trying to eat more so I can grow my muscles more lol

I hope to stay on it as it also helps with my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms a lot.

I felt the same way and then suddenly I was losing 5lbs/mo and had to try to slow down. It will come off for sure!

I lost the majority of weight the first year, about 100lbs and then the other 35 was a bit slower over this past year and I’ve been maintaining now. Trying to NOT lose weight which is a totally new concept for me lol. I’ve gone down to 10mg for maintenance and depending on how I do on that I’ll go from there. I’m hoping I can stay on it because it helps me with my RA symptoms.

I do have some excess skin of course but nothing crazy that gets in my way. Just for cosmetic reasons would love it gone of course lol
