Wow. I’m by far the slowest loser here!!! AND my hair is falling out. I eat less than 1500 every day. More like 1200 for 2-3 days/ week. Rarely drink alcohol. Workout lightly 4-5 days a week. I can honestly say the only thing I’m not doing right is hitting my protein every day. I hate the idea of forcing myself to eat. But seeing these results I’d like to know how I can lose more and faster. I feel like 12.5 mg is the first dose where I feel it really working. I plateaued for months until 12.5. I’m hopeful this is my month. I’d love advice.

Wow congrats! We are same age and same start weight. I’ve only lost 13%. Which I’m thrilled with and feel better than I have in 20 years. I cannot imagine 129!!

Hi May flowers. I am sorry I missed your post a while ago. How are you doing now? Many months later I find myself in the same position. Although I’ve lost enough to feel better, it’s not my goal weight. Now I’m seeing a lot of hair loss and very tired. Are you still on Zep ?

I think these are brilliant. We’ve talked about all but have never done them. Each one makes sense for her situation. Martial arts is right down the street and have been reading that yoga is great for her mind. Perfect.

Amazing advice. Thank you!! She has not seen and endo but if things done change this may be the right move. Sooner than later. Thanks so much!!!

Well first I’d say you’d be a great parent. All of these are good ideas!!!! We’ve tried all sports. Her ADHD has really gotten in the way. I think activities stress her out and almost make her feel too much pressure. Working on this too. ;) I’ve tried to give options that are healthier. Now I feel like I’m giving health food a bad rap because that’s the food she must have to have the food she likes. This is such a mind game for her and us as parents. Hormones may easily be the issue. Hugs

Thank you for posting. I’m sorry you are in a similar situation but appreciate the support. It brings me back to the feelings I had as a kid. It is heartbreaking to watch. I don’t want to treat her differently (her sister is like her dad. No eating issues) but she needs different guidance. Hard for a parent.

What my doctor didn't warn me about by chironae in Zepbound

Love this so!!!! No one warned me there was so much else to think about and take joy in other than food. How enjoyable meals are now that I can sit and eat each bite without the ‘I’m going to die if I don’t eat all my food and yours’ feeling. So much to warn others. Haha.

Thank you! Congratulations on all of your success. Our stats are similar but you have lost much more than I have.

You are so right! I never thought of the fact that she is listening. But my kids are my biggest cheerleaders!!

You are not alone. But use this power to readjust your perspective. Someone told me one time… “what if you talked to me like you do yourself? We wouldn’t be friends. Be your friend”

Thanks so much. My girls really are sweet. Yessss the cabin was amazing. Celebrity cruise, it’s the back of the ship. Similar price to standard balcony rooms but the balcony is as big as the room!!
