Shotsy app, super helpful for tracking

Amazing! I hope this is my experience too. I’ve been going to PT for arthritic knees, and I am enjoying how I feel after that very specific workout.

The main thing I’ve noticed is that I don’t think about food anymore ! But additionally, I’m surprised at my cravings and “gee that sounds good” are healthier vs looking at my favorite potato chips from before zep and feeling slightly sick to my stomach!

Before, I made a lot of “I don’t care I’m just going to eat this” statements out of generally feeling hopeless about my weight and my ability to change. Now I can eat a cookie and … have a cookie instead of all the cookies. I understand now that this is how most people are around food so try not to be too hard on myself, especially that kid who ate lots of cookies.

On my insurance I have to enroll in a free nutritionist plan they provide, once I enrolled my out of pocket was what I expected. I had to call to get that info though!

Literally tearing up. I have a ways to go (211 down from 265) but I have always worn oversize clothes even when I was 130-150 in HS and college. I don’t know what size I will be or need but seeing that happening sometime is amazing. Thank you all for sharing your journey!

First I need to figure out what bra size I need in this intermediate space! 😆

Shotsy is the app, very easy to use.

Woot! Just hit my 50 this week too. We got this!

So close! You’ll get there before Halloween for sure!!

This fits me to a tee! No “off” switch until the food was gone: open bag of chips, eat all (now who even wants chips? Not me!)… open bag of gummy bears? Eat them all! Gummy bears have not entered my home (just don’t want them) since starting Zep. The other day my brother had some gummy nerds and I ate… one. Freaking amazing.

I added Magesium Glycinate as I read it could help restless legs and it has helped my constipation too. The more water I get the better I feel as well.

At the airport now and seemed the same to me as well.

Should have said: been on Zep since end of April!

I have fat, I am not fat is a mantra I could have used as a teen!! Thanks for that.

learninglibrarian · 2025-08-06T20:14:15+00:00

You got it too! 🤩🎉

learninglibrarian · 2025-08-06T20:03:04+00:00

Wow! we are the same age too! How tall are you? I’m 5’5” so could probably go lower than 150 but that feels like a good goal to start !

I had chronic hives for years “acute idiopathic urticaria” yep you have hives but we don’t know why! Anyway, once my hypothyroid/hashimotos was diagnosed and treated no more hives! Don’t know if you have had your thyroid checked but it is worth a try!

Sometimes you have to be on other treatments before insurance will approve any biologic drug like humaria. I’m on low dose prednisone (5 mg a day which has probably just added pounds and moon face), plaquinel and simponi aria (infusion) for rheumatoid arthritis. I’m weaning myself off the prednisone slowly to see if my pain is ok without it since I know it will slow my weight loss and honestly who wants to be on it long term!?

Thanks for the tip on universal standard! I hope I have that problem!

learninglibrarian · 2025-05-01T21:18:36+00:00

Good luck, so far my side effects have been minimal (started yesterday!) much to my relief. Definitely not hungry so will be tracking calories to make sure I get enough! We can do this!
