👱🏼♀️ so I’m in the 8 th month. And let me tell y’all. I wish I hadn’t told anyone I was taking it. For me theirs some uneducated family members who think they are educated and have extremely strong opinions that they feel they should continue to tell you. It’s just not nice and not good to engage. So if you’re new, just keep it to yourself.?
Yeah I had to do the same thing. I tried to tell a couple people and I would ease in the convo to gauge their response and everyone who seemed to be unhappy with their own life had a HUGE opinion on it and that’s where I would just end the convo and not tell them I was taking it. It’s just not worth it .
It’s a shame people can’t support us. I’m an adult. I can make choices that I feel are right for me. But no way am I telling my mom!! Don’t need to be judged and lectured. Everyone here has obviously totally researched it and is doing what they believe is best for their help.
💁🏽♀️ I watch you EVERY SINGLE DAY!! I just picked up my 5mg Tirzepatide Compound today!! I lost 8 lbs on 2.5mg the first 4 weeks so I’m excited to see what the next 4 weeks bring 💯💪🏽
Thank you for revisiting the beginning of your journey. I am on Day 12 (Wk2). I lost 5 lbs my first week and 1lb so far this week but have been stagnant for 3 days. Same walking regiment. I will say the day I ate about 80-90g of protein (so closest to 100-120g) goal, I lost the lb. I am a little disappointed to have ‘only’ lost a pound this week, but am being kind to myself. Also, despite it ‘only’ being a 6 lb loss, my body has already drastically changed. I need to measure again but probably 1-2” off chest and waist. This video is a reminder…keep at it!!! Thank you!!!
@@ontherunjgdaily weighings are important to me because it is accountability and allows me to see if something I ate or lack of activity put the lbs on. The difference is I don’t get frustrated if the scale goes up 1-2 lbs. We all have to do what works for ourselves.
I have been on MJ since January and down 62 lbs. I am feeling so blessed to be having such amazing results and building supportive relationships with like minded people. I have a goal this week to work out 3 times. 👱♀️
💇 I had a great visit with my PCP and she was so pleased with my labs and weight loss. 11 months on GLP -1 and 54 pounds loss. She is very supportive of going the compound route and has heard great things from the pharmacies that Join Fridays uses. Also told me she will check for my dose of Zepbound in the hospital pharmacy network for me. Love the support so much.
So I love this video. I’m starting my journey zoom. Waiting for the zepbound to get here ( a little afraid of the needle and poking myself but we gotta do it) this video barely in is so helpful.
Hello @xbree, I can relate to your being anxious about the needle. I was too! I’m in my 2nd week and want you to know the 2nd time is easier as you become more relaxed. You’ve got this. Praying for great success on your journey! Be encouraged!🙏🏽🥰
👩🦳 Hi, Elizabeth. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging us! Week 9 and down 17 lbs. Need to exercise more but eating very healthy and small portions. I use a vegetarian/vegan meal prep company for dinner and it helps me stay on track with my busy schedule! I went kayaking over the weekend for exercise with my rescue dog and he loved it. 😊
Im about to start this medication for my weight loss. Today at the doctors, I weighed 204.6. I told him how I was struggling to lose weight . I pray that i dont get really bad side effects. Thank you for some helpful tips. I will keep my portions small. I will have to take out my sauser plates and force myself to put small portions on the plate.
💇🏽♀️ End of week two and I am down 10 pounds. I am focusing on being consistent with life style changes such as being physical every day no matter how small and the effort ❤
Thanks for continued support. Yes hungry before shot day. I’m trying to get 5mg but, can’t get it. So I guess I’ll have to stay 2.5. I’m starting week 3.
I love ❤️ your confidence - you can see your old pic it wasn’t there in the way you hold yourself in picture and now you are just glowing🎉 - you have no loose skin - I see this in practice with patients I have who are on it ( I’m not treating them for weight loss - but I am definitely referring them to weight loss clinics ) - I think it’s the slow minute weight loss over time … you look amazing- good for you !! I’m starting Zepbound tonight - was on Saxenda and Wegovy and lost 41 lbs a so far but had side effects with those so hopeful this one may have less - I am open and honest with my patients - when they ask about my weight loss I tell them - I just share my experience with them - thanks for the tips !!
💇♀️ Week 3/ 2.5 Zepbound - Started back into my exercise routine this morning 🎉 Last year, not on any meds, consistently worked out 6+ days weekly for 9 months straight and just couldn't lose the weight (beyond a few pounds) Also had lapband surgery in 2011 and lost almost 100 pounds... I am currently about 40lbs heavier than my lowest weight. Have been overweight/obese/morbidly obese my whole life
💇🏼I’m getting ready to wash my hair then give myself a trim when finished here. How long have you been on these vitamins, when could you notice a change in energy? This is shot day & my energy is lacking. I had a protein smoothie this morning was full before half way through it. I have no appetite now so im allowing my body rest it needs. I’m kinda in awe how easy preparing & giving the injections has become. My sister has now joined the compound group, she had gastric bypass few yrs back lost the weight over a year then sadly gained it all plus again. I’m happy she is trying it this way & im able to help her it’s nice to have a buddy in the fam. I still haven’t told anyone but her and waited awhile before I told her she’s my little sis only 4’ 10” I’m 5’ 1” that weight destroys your body & spirit. Our 60s are gonna be a new beginning for us.
😊 hi! Gave my first shot last night, this is my second day and I feel a little nauseous and tired. I hope this is just common. I would like to lose at least 50 pounds. I’m going to get on daily to receive the vitamins !!
About to start on Zepbound. I’m curious to find out how much is everyone working out under this medication and what type of exercise are you guys doing?
Great video! Thank you. Has anyone experienced abdominal pain / discomfort on ZepBound ? I’m on day 4 and been feeling not hungry at all but lots of discomfort.
👩🦰 I am back! On my fourth month of 5 mg, only one more injection left of 5mg. Then I will be moving up to 7.5mg. I am scared to move up, because I don’t ever feel hungry. I eat because I know my body needs food. Only thing I notice toward day 6 and 7 I do eat chocolate. I went for a walk; and tracked all my food today. And Finished all my chores. Heading back to work tomorrow. (My Mom passed away 1 week ago).
Hi, I just met with my PCP same pooping issues. I was on two magnesium supplements. It was so so for me. She put me on colace and suddenly I going like clockwork. Not a lot, but it's regular.
💇🏾♀️ I’m in week 1 with Join Fridays - as always protein is my constant struggle, also water and sleep. So working on hitting my protein goal today - starting with 1 thing to focus on rather than all 3.
👩🦱👩🦱 chasing two feral toddlers, does that count as exercise? Thank you for the encouragement!! I’ve had to go from 7.5 down to 5mg and I’ve seen a stall in my weight loss since. But, I’m sooooo thankful and feel sooooo to have gotten my 3 month supply of 5mg!! At least I can stay on it and maybe tweak a few meals to help over the hump.
@@louisethompson8689I’m sorry to hear you have had this reaction. I had a headache the first shot as well. I recommend ginger (ginger ale helps me quickly for nausea). Trader Joe’s has bite size dried fruit that are good for ingesting it quickly (for me). If you are worried about the sugar, rinse it off before eating. Also, make sure you are hydrated both with water and a sports drink. This is vital, otherwise expect cramping, headaches, etc. And take at least 330 mg of Mg (Magnesium). A soak in a Mg bath (aka epsom salts) may help you with the headache, it definitely helped me. But again, drink plenty of liquids!
Thank you for your support. I appreciate your comments. I am feeling much better today, apetitie has suppressed drastically, nausea and gas has calmed down. Drinking 3 lts but I think I need more electrolytes. Going to look into sugar free sports drinks and Chewing ginger. Also trying to get more sleep in. Thank you again x
@@louisethompson8689hey there!! Glad to hear things have improved for you! It sounds like you have a good plan moving forward! This process may not be fun at times, but hopefully we will all feel better on the other side of it! Hang in there, you got this!!!
💇♀️ hi Countess I’ve been ff and watching your videos for research purpose. My doc recommend me to take ozempic and I said no bec I’m scared of the side effects. I will say yes to it then when I see him next appointment. Thanks for sharing your journey. I appreciate it and thankful I have someone to look up to. I just now also asked to join your group. Hope I get accepted. I did answer the questions. The other thing that made me change my mind is bec my sister is just starting her Mounjaro journey. So I love to get in a group that’s like minded.
I can’t wait to start this medication. I’ve worked out 5 days a week for the past 3.5 years and I’ve not had any weight loss. In fact I’ve gained weight. I think it’s because of the weight training, but I’m ready to lose this weight. I hear a lot of talk about the losing muscle mass but I wonder about the validity of those claims especially for folks like me who exercise and strength train regularly and eat an adequate amount of protein in their diet. Either way I’m willing to lose a little muscle if it means I get to lose weight. I’m currently 250 pounds which is my highest weight ever and I would do anything to get below 200
💇♀️Love your post! I’m an RN/and educator. I wish I would have seen your videos before-rushing to get my 2nd month filled! I filled my 5mg but could have really stayed at 2.5. I am down 11 pounds. I am considering going back to 2.5 -after 5 or I’ll go to the compounded 5 with your recommended company! Any experience in your group of people going back down. I also have some other ideas I’d like to share-in an email as I’m an RN. :)
I’m traveling for work in a week and not sure I should titrate up… I’m dealing with side effects great at 2.5 and losing on this dose. What are your thoughts?
Ginger can do wonders! I buy the Trader Joe’s Ginger Pieces (near nuts/dried fruit). Just 1-2 pieces usually battles nausea. They do have sugar on them, but you can wash this off if you are avoiding sugar. Of course the ginger root itself is also an option that could be better for you. Sorry you are feeling nausea. :/
My doctor prescribed Kepbound 2.5 mg for me. He sent a letter to my insurance company to have it approved and they denied me😢😢I can’t afford to pay over $1,000 every month. Do any of you know of a discount drug card that can help me?? Thank you all in advance for your help.🙏🏼
👧 I messaged you about a month ago .. since our stories are very similar. I started Semaglutide April 1st it's May 7th and I am down 18lbs. I am trying to get my water in. 80 to 100ozs is a struggle ... feel like I'm drowning. Got the sample pack of the electrolytes... BAD CRAMPING!!! My main issue is cooking for the fam ... hard to cook when you're not hungry. I did Keto and it wasn't too hard .. but I'm struggling this go round only because I want to be normal. Yes I know this MUST be a lifestyle change for me ... but I want to still fix (not all the time) the foods that we like. I'm trying not to stress. I am making better choices .. and I am losing weight.
💇🏾♀️ during the weekday I switch up my workout schedule. I will be getting up at 10pm and going to the gym then back home in time to reset for work at 0100.
Hair 💇♀️ just took my last pen of Zepbound 5.0 and will be backtracking to 2.5 for the near future because 5.0 not available in my area of Maryland. I’m not comfortable with the idea of compounds so will stick with Lilly even though I have to pay 100% out of my own pocket$$$$$$. 😢 Discussed moving up to 7.5 with my doctor but decided not to because of my side effects (headache and constipation) on 5.0. I had absolutely NO side effects on 2.5 and moderate success with weight loss so I’m hoping that backtracking will be okay for me or at least prevent me gaining the weight back. My family knows I am taking Z but I haven’t announced it to friends. If asked, I plan to answer truthfully. I’m 5’ 2” and I’ve lost 15.8 pounds in 7 weeks. 30 more to go 😊
@@lahall4942 I had to backtrack to 2.5 for two weeks but then the pharmacy was able to get 5.0 for me and I haven’t had a problem getting it since then. It is still working for me with no side effects now. I do go through stalls then see-saw up and down but overall I’ve averaged about 1.5 pound loss a week. Been on 5.0 now for 6 months. Total down 44 pounds. 11 more to go.
💇funny that I was doing my hair while watching. My sister and I exercised this morning, had a light lunch and off to dinner theater (Footloose) to celebrate her retirement. God is good to me as I live with her and share my journey with her.
👩🦱 blessings Elizabeth, thanks for the tips . I'm moving more keeping busy I usually walk 10,000 steps at work .I also know that people said that's doesn't count .but my feet feel it😂.so I'm trying to incorporate more exercises ❤😊
👱🏼♀️ so I’m in the 8 th month. And let me tell y’all. I wish I hadn’t told anyone I was taking it. For me theirs some uneducated family members who think they are educated and have extremely strong opinions that they feel they should continue to tell you. It’s just not nice and not good to engage. So if you’re new, just keep it to yourself.?
Thank you for the heads up! Only my spouse and Dr. knows.
I totally agree!!

I tried to tell a couple people and I would ease in the convo to gauge their response and everyone who seemed to be unhappy with their own life had a HUGE opinion on it and that’s where I would just end the convo and not tell them I was taking it. It’s just not worth it .
I think I am going to not tell my family. I think they’ll be like you say. I’m sorry for you, I think I get how you feel.
It’s a shame people can’t support us. I’m an adult. I can make choices that I feel are right for me. But no way am I telling my mom!! Don’t need to be judged and lectured. Everyone here has obviously totally researched it and is doing what they believe is best for their help.

💁🏽♀️ I watch you EVERY SINGLE DAY!! I just picked up my 5mg Tirzepatide Compound today!! I lost 8 lbs on 2.5mg the first 4 weeks so I’m excited to see what the next 4 weeks bring 💯💪🏽

My family knows I am taking Z but I haven’t announced it to friends. If asked, I plan to answer truthfully. I’m 5’ 2” and I’ve lost 15.8 pounds in 7 weeks. 30 more to go 😊
Did u stay on 2.5 or 5mg
@@lahall4942 I had to backtrack to 2.5 for two weeks but then the pharmacy was able to get 5.0 for me and I haven’t had a problem getting it since then. It is still working for me with no side effects now. I do go through stalls then see-saw up and down but overall I’ve averaged about 1.5 pound loss a week. Been on 5.0 now for 6 months. Total down 44 pounds. 11 more to go.

💇funny that I was doing my hair while watching. My sister and I exercised this morning, had a light lunch and off to dinner theater (Footloose) to celebrate her retirement. God is good to me as I live with her and share my journey with her.
