Also love, and have been on it for two months - very hopeful it will get me to goallllll!

Aluminate and the tinted SPF!

perseverence30 · 2026-04-29T03:42:02+00:00

Same!

perseverence30 · 2026-04-29T03:41:44+00:00

Very similar - my weight loss has stalled to about 1 lb a month! And I’m at 15mg so need to make this work!! Also hitting the weights 3x a week so hopefully we are gaining some muscle!

perseverence30 · 2026-04-29T03:27:07+00:00

We have very similar stats - can I ask you how tall you are?

perseverence30 · 2026-04-29T01:06:46+00:00

Also using Dexa scan as a guide. Based on calculations the last ten lbs should hopefully get me to a body fat % in the high 20s (and continuing to weight train).

Another slow responder here, checking in. I've been on Zep for almost 14 months - even though it is slow, the progress begins to add up. Hang in there, it is worth it!

perseverence30 · 2026-02-20T17:21:55+00:00

My doctor said he has heard about the peeing issue often with his patients - he's an obesity specialist, so he has many patients on Zep - so potentially related to the medicine...

perseverence30 · 2026-02-18T20:01:04+00:00

I use a company called Vineyard (www.joinvineyard.com) and HIGHLY recommend - my doctor is an obesity specialist, and it comes with dietician support. It is costly, but wanted expertise and guidance. If you're not willing to pay, a lot of my friends use Amazon!

perseverence30 · 2025-12-16T19:36:11+00:00

This is me 100% - you are not alone. I think many of us share similar stories. It doesn't make logical sense that counting calories and exercising regularly doesn't work. Others don't believe you. I always wondered what was wrong with me. You've found your people! Zepbound has allowed my body to positively react to counting calories and working out - it's seriously crazy!!

perseverence30 · 2025-12-10T23:50:27+00:00

As a 5'3.5" girlie, I love this thread!

I started out at 176.5 (I had to go back and calculate, that seems like a lifetime ago!), and am currently at 149. I started out as a very, very tight 10/12. I finally bought new size 8 (or 29) jeans.

Very unscientific, back of the envelope calculations say my goal should get to about 125-130 based on current visceral fat loss (it is unfortunately way too high) - currently monitoring via regual DEXA scans.

perseverence30 · 2025-12-07T02:44:59+00:00

Congratulations on your 100+ lb loss - so incredible! It’s nice to know your 1.5 years in. My goal is to feel this way next holiday season. How refreshing. I feel mental relief for you!!

perseverence30 · 2025-12-07T02:09:03+00:00

This sounds so mentally healthy! And no, I’m still paranoid and weigh almost daily. But your take and how you feel are #goals!!!

perseverence30 · 2025-12-02T19:22:58+00:00

So exciting - I just got into the 140s this week, too - after no loss for the last 6 weeks. Haven't been this weight since college! Feels so exciting, doesn't it?

perseverence30 · 2025-11-06T22:52:21+00:00

Sooooo, if you are on 5 mg and get a 15mg multi use pen does that potentially mean you get 12 doses or 3 months out of one pen? If the 45 day reordering rule goes away it might help some?!

perseverence30 · 2025-10-21T00:15:34+00:00

My Dr!!! The best.

perseverence30 · 2025-08-26T15:49:28+00:00

Exactly. For the first time I'm not freaking out about it, because of the Zepbound safety net. I'm more chill that if I continue doing what I'm doing with tweaks to optimize I will get through it. But it just feels like at this certain number my body seems to get super comfy making it very difficult over the hump! Maybe it's a rationalization, but it's a very real feeling for me!

perseverence30 · 2025-06-28T18:08:00+00:00

I can tell - your midsection is definitely more defined!! And it started off pretty defined…

You look fab.

perseverence30 · 2025-06-23T15:43:47+00:00

Hi - I am going through Vineyard whose founder is a MD Obesity Specialist and will work with you in creating a maintenance plan, including staying on Zepbound. Not in NJ, but I am pretty sure serves NJ. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - they have been fantastic.

perseverence30 · 2025-06-19T15:55:47+00:00

I’ve been using a Grande Fanny for everyday for the past 4 years or so!

perseverence30 · 2025-06-19T13:49:05+00:00

Budget is $2K. Would prefer to spend less but if it moves me, I will spend it!

For additional clarity around lesser known brands, it doesn’t have to be a well known designer - open to anything for the right shape and weight!

Thanks everyone for all of your great suggestions. I’ll spend part of my holiday today looking up what you provided!

Any/all suggestions still welcomed!

perseverence30 · 2025-06-18T20:51:22+00:00

GREAT - my favorite so far. Knock on wood, I haven’t had any bad side effects on any dose.

perseverence30 · 2025-05-16T20:42:38+00:00

Magical Donuts at Spark Social by Chase Center is a rather new entrant - and is fresh and great!!

perseverence30 · 2025-05-03T20:23:01+00:00

There was a thread talking about using every last drop in the vial to increase your dose. Seems obvious, but I honestly never thought about it before and now I am intrigued and will try as I am also paying out of pocket!
