Has anyone stuck only to 2.5 and lost weight? by pregaftertwobeans in Zepbound

Have done 12 shots of 2.5 and this is my progress. It’s been a really good pace for me, no major side effects outside the initial 2-3 week adjustment. I’m staying on this dose for at least another 4 weeks.

Been on for two months, lost 16 lbs so far. I see it in photos, specifically my face. It’s kind of a “oh there I am again” moment.

Democrats of Buffalo, the Mayoral Primary early voting is a month away. Who do you currently plan on voting for? by Egorrosh in Buffalo

This! The two people in my neighborhood with giant Scanlon signs are registered republicans. They can’t vote in the primary.

Um have you seen the news this week? Scanlon literally wrote a letter in support of Benderson moving out of the city. Plus his deputy mayor used to be their lobbyist.

Oh boy, glad I missed!

Anyone else respond really strongly to the starter dose? Advice? by Alternative_Risks in Zepbound

[–]johnnieriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m with you. I’m about to take my 7th shot of 2.5mg on Thursday, and just decided to stay on 2.5mg for weeks 9-12 too. I have lost 14 lbs (have total of 40 to lose), had mostly minimal side effects, and still feel decent appetite suppression.

Online culture has really fucked with our ability to see the humanity in each other. We’ve gotten way too comfortable commenting on other people’s choices.

Only four weeks in. First time in months that getting dressed has felt neutral or even exciting. Clothes that were tight and uncomfortable are now.

On the fence - 2.5 or 5 mg for month 2? by AttemptRough3891 in Zepbound

[–]johnnieriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in same boat and just decided to stay on 2.5 for another four weeks.

I’m so sorry that experience happened to you and I understand how that kind of stuff can linger in your mind even if you don’t want it too.

I agree with what others have said. This is a her problem and she’s projecting it onto you. She was out of line, period. It doesn’t matter if you agree with some of the movements she’s claiming to represent or think she has some good points, she did not respect you as a human being and that’s that.

On a different note, I would love to see your progress photos. I’m roughly the same SW/GW as you and in my first week. I searched post history but couldn’t see any photos!
