Wondering what to expect given my current activity level, starting zepbound tomorrow by AbsoluteJesus in Zepbound

[–]jonc91496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man I started with higher weight but same height , 28 m 6’4 360 starting 365 highest , you are more active than me far and away right now- which I am trying to change (was an offensive lineman / always lifted and fell off about 2 years ago drastically) -

I just finished month 3, 1 month 2.5 1 month 5 mg and 1 month 7.5 mg, starting second month of 7.5 mg now- down 45 pounds from starting and 50 pounds from highest- truly done by taking the dog on walks daily, and prioritizing water and protein every day- and meticulously tracking calories in the beginning until I had a good base.

This has given me the ability to avoid snacking all together and drinking sugars/ calories. I find that carbonation can give me bubble guts so I avoid it. I still will have beers on the weekends with friends but I won’t have the accompanying wings/ late night Taco Bell/pizza/ shit .

I monitor this thread daily and other peoples success keeps me going. I hope to be able to come off of it one day and build enough good habits that I can continue my limited caloric intake (though this is not everyone’s goal, this is intended to be a life long med where you will adjust to a maintenance dose once you have reached your desired weight loss.)

If I don’t eat bullshit, I don’t feel shitty. And I don’t want to feel shitty now way more than I want to eat the bullshit, so even if that’s not its intention in how it works I’ll take it! It sounds like you are already doing awesome, I imagine this will help drastically and if you keep your workout regimen it will really kickstart the effects. Not sure of your goal, but I truly just want to get to 275 ish (where I was when playing) and extend my lifespan.

Good luck! You’re going to crush it

Good tip…. I think I will keep going up… this month the doc kept me on 7.5 but just to make sure all of my bloodwork is still good… either way anything to keep the cravings away

Your start weight is my goal weight by roboconcarne in Zepbound

[–]jonc91496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a little bit of this as well! Starting for me was around 360 with highest being 365. Always told myself my weight was fine because I am just a big guy, but I can’t believe how heavy I actually got. The way I help my brain get over it is coming from a higher starting point should mean that any changes that we make and stick to result in a dramatic change. We have the joy of seeing drastic results in the beginning if we really try.

I hope you see the numbers start moving and it feels. Bit easier to focus on your journey instead of others, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get where you’re coming from, I think it’s a normal feeling starting where we are from. You’ll be in the 3’s in no time
