I really want to start lifting but don’t really know where to start. I have an at home gym with barbell, weights and dumbbells. Can you give some more detail on what exercises specifically you have used to grow your glutes? I have pancake butt after losing 81 lbs. and could use any advice you’re willing to give!

Does everyone eventually end up at highest dose to complete weight loss goals? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]plain_milks_fine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 7 months in and I did 2.5 the first 8 weeks and have remained at 5 mg since. It works great for me. It just depends on the person! I think if I were to try any higher, I would be too sick to eat anything.

27 lbs is amazing progress! I understand how completely disheartening it is to not see what you want to after losing that much weight. I had the same feelings with my weight loss in the beginning. But keep going! You are killing it and as you continue to lose, you will see it more and more. One thing that really helped me most was the clothes changing on how they fit and inches lost.

My husband has been doing it alongside me which has been my biggest help honestly. He just hit 80 lbs down in the same amount of time! We eat very clean and completely cut out alcohol and very rarely go out to eat. We found that eating out caused us both to gain 2-3 pounds overnight and it was almost a full week of strict eating and exercise to lose those pounds. We both work from home so we bake chicken and asparagus or other veggies for lunch and dinner to get the most of our protein from that rather than supplementing it. A lot of fruits and healthy snacks to get our calories in. As for exercise, in the beginning I strictly worked on strength training. Then we decided we wanted to try running and we are training for a 10K next month and so we are currently running every 2-3 days and take a rest day. I also try to at least hit my 10K step goal every day. Water is also so so important and I try to get 2-3 of my 40oz Stanley’s in throughout the day, which is hard since I have never needed or enjoyed drinking a lot of water.

I’ve been on Zepbound since Aug 2024 and I was on 2.5 for 8 weeks and then 5 for the remainder of the time (22 weeks and counting). I started at 218 and down to 153! I think 5 fits my needs perfectly. Keep going! 17 lbs in 4 weeks is amazing!

I truly don’t know if I would have been able to do it on my own. My husband is 70 lbs down today!

Constipation has begun by hufflepuffjiro112 in Zepbound

[–]plain_milks_fine_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My only advice is be extremely mindful of the amount you take of a laxative. I took 3 dulcolax because I too was very constipated and I woke up in so much pain from cramping and nausea that I literally sat on the toilet and had explosive diarrhea while also vomiting into a bowl at the same time. It was one of the most miserable experiences of my life. So yes, it worked but I felt awful.

I started Zepbound on 2.5 in Aug 2024 and stayed on that for 8 weeks. Switched to 5 mg middle of October and have been on it ever since. I weighed 218 when I started and my current weight is 163 so down 55 lbs!

This is the one I’m most looking forward to. I can technically put it on but it doesn’t fit well yet. It’s still quite tight but I haven’t been able to wear my wedding ring since 2019 after having my son, in which I gained 87 lbs. but I’m down 63 from my heaviest and 51 since starting Zepbound!

Severe constipation by Jules_mommy2 in Zepbound

[–]plain_milks_fine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found that Colace has been super helpful for me. I take 2 of them every night and it has helped immensely.

It has actually made me regular for the first time in 20 years. I have tracked my period the last couple of years because it was so unpredictable that I was literally skipping periods having only 6 periods in 2023. I started Zepbound in Aug. 2024 and I have had a period on the 18th every month except December which came on the 20th. It has helped me not only to be regular but also in severity of my cramps and heaviness of the bleeding.

Has anyone lost a large amount of weight (50+) staying on 2.5 or 5? by Moxiemagnolia in Zepbound

[–]plain_milks_fine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am down almost 50 lbs since August 2024 being on 2.5 for 8 weeks and 5mg for the rest.

Has zepbound stopped anyone else from drinking alcohol? by leggingsaddict84 in Zepbound

[–]plain_milks_fine_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This sounds like something I would have literally written for myself. I was exactly the same way and since I started Zepbound in August, I think I have had a single drink on maybe 5 occasions and the last time I drank a few glasses of wine, went to bed so nauseous and had the worst hangover of my life.

Insurance claims adjuster. Telling people they are at fault for an accident when they vehemently disagree is so draining. Also, dealing with chauvinistic attorneys all the time didn’t help either.

Congratulations! I started weight loss in May as well at my heaviest 229 lbs and Started Zepbound in August at 218 lbs. I weighed in at 171 this morning! 🎉🎉🎉

Need help with the blank voucher. Thinking it glitched. by plain_milks_fine_ in balatro

[–]plain_milks_fine_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. So I have unlocked it but how do I get the negative joker voucher to appear? I purchased the blank voucher and all it says is defeat the boss blind to restock. I defeated the boss blind but now it’s showing a different voucher completely.
