Go Twaun! 🥰Go Twaun! 🥰You are doing well. Don't feel guilty about being human. This a lifestyle change and it takes time change from a lifestyle many of us have been living most our lives. As you said, you are tracking and conscious of everything you are doing. You are honest with yourself and holding yourself accountable. I never want to deprive myself of anything. So on days I feel I want something I have it. Most other days I'm strict about staying on goal. You are doing phenomenal! Relish in that.💫💫💫
@@purple_bellflower yes so true. I was having a real moment and wanted to be honest about it. My body probably needed the extra carbs because I’ve increased my workouts.
Twaun, I think some times the effectiveness of a specific shot spot can just be a coincidence. That being said, I have my preferred spots. But, when I feel like they aren’t doing as well, I switch it up. I hate to see you say you felt guilty for eating a few more calories. I know you’re kind of kidding, but you ate because you were hungry. Feeling guilty is old diet culture, and we don’t do that anymore, ma’am! It’s great that you got an extra workout in, but we also don’t have to earn our food by exercising anymore. Huge congrats on the weight loss. You are doing fantastic! I LOVE you in that red! You look ah-mazing!
Heyyyyyy Mindy, you know I was really in my feelings and having a moment at that time. So I thought I’d be transparent. Honestly I wasn’t expecting to eat as much on Zepbound. I guess because so many people are saying they can’t eat on it. You’re absolutely right though. It is what it is. If I’m hungry I should eat. After thinking hard about it, I actually over ate with healthier foods. So that’s a win. Right?
Gotta luv it. 🧑🎄 Twaun’s like, “I ain’t half-azzin’ it. I am goin’ FULL-ON CHRISTMAS!” 😃 🎄 And yeah, shot location is interesting. TOTALLY matters for some ppl, for others, not so much. Great example of “Everybody’s different.” ✅ And geez, Twaun… 3.2 lbs?! Even w/the app suppression being a bit lite last 2 days? Damb gurl, you’re crushing it on the workouts. AND the Zep be (mostly) zeppin’. 😮 There’s gotta be a bad week comin’ up somewhere (‘the body moves in mysterious ways, even when in a deep calorie deficit’), but it kinda don’t matter, your fundamentals (tracking, workouts) are so good that any stops/slows should be temporary. So long as Twaun keeps Twauning and the Zep keeps zeppin’. 👌
@@cloakster Heyyyyyyy I like that! Twaun be Twaunning and Zep be Zepping 😂🤗. Sounds like a winner for me. Yes I love to decorate for Christmas Thanks so much!
I get over the top suppression with the back of my arm. I have to force the food if I can, which makes me gag. Stomach injections gives suppression but nothing like the back of my arm. You are doing wonderful. So happy for your journey.
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Like you I have notice less suppression on my left side , in my arm and thigh. I just continue to rotate. At one point my thighs were my sweet spot, but I have since returned to my stomach and it's been great!
Mounjaro recommends rotating injection sites. So one month I do both sides of the abdomen, one month both thighs, one month both arms. I find the least suppression is thighs. The most is arms. A little more on my right. Also if you are a little more active some days. You tend to be hungrier. Your body wants fuel. As my trainer says, sometimes let your body tell you. As long as we are feeding the hungry stomach and not heart it is fine. Hey it's the holidays and you lost! Big win there. I also suggest staying on a dose as long as possible. As long as it is working, don't titrate up. Because you will have nowhere to go. I have been on 12.5 for 6 months, and it is still working! I should have stayed at 10 because it was working but my blood sugars were too high. 12.5 seems to be my sweet spot! Great job girl!
@@moni9192 thanks so much for the information and sharing your experience. I plan to stay on the 7.5mg another month to allow my body to get use to the medication. I think titrating up every month while on Wegovy was too fast but that’s how the med was intended to be used. Now they’re seeing it’s best not to titrate up so fast. Thanks so much for all of your support. I appreciate you. ☀️♥️
Hello beautiful FL friend. I'm sorry I've been missing in your comments for a bit - my dad has been recovering from a pretty substantial surgery and that along with work has left me with very little free time. I am catching up now and enjoying it all. Congratulations on your TREMENDOUS accomplishment...you are such an inspiration! ❤ 🏆 🙏 - Brandon (from VA)
Hi!!! Ok, so I know they say it doesn’t matter which injection site you use because you’re using the “fatty tissue” and not muscle but I absolutely noticed a difference when I injected in my thighs and my arms. I had absolutely no appetite suppression in either of those areas. It was like I injected a placebo. I consistently gained weight when I began the Zepbound and I injected in the arms and thighs. My provider advised me to go back to rotations in the abdominal area. I followed her instructions and I’m back on the decline again.
You look good in Red Twaun!! Thats your color! You are losing that weight honey! Go Twaun Go! Go Twaun, Go Twaun 💃🏾💃🏾 😂 Im ready for this journey. I did get a little discouraged with Wegovy because it gave me more side effects than help, but I think Zepbound will work. I will try my arm other than my stomach. Have a good day!!
@@TracesofTwaunsLifeHey Twaun, I have a question. When you take the shot do you usually do it before meals, after or same time. Sorry if I missed it in a previous video?
You look soooo beautiful in that red. Have a nice party today. Congratulations on the 3.2lbs for this week. You are taking off!!!! Go Twaun Go! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations on your weight loss . You are doing it! Go Twaun, Go! I need to be more consistent on tracking my food. I have noticed when I track & weight the food, I have success. You look beautiful in the red! ❤
On Mounjaro for 25 mos. My left side doesnt work for me for appetite suppression. It did on 2.5 and 5mg but after that nope and I tried with every dose. The belly also didnt work for me on any lower dose and now on 15mg its my favorite spot, but again only my right side. Im on my 10th box of 15mg. I say try every spot on every dose cause I feel things can change with the doses. Dont beat yourself up for eating 1800 you were eating really low for so many days your body needed it. Its good to have a high calorie day once a week I feel, thats what I do anyway. Down 165 using MJ as a tool and putting in the work like you 💪🏼💪🏼 and though the weight loss has been slow the 2nd year its still working and Im 15lbs to goal 💃🏻💃🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I think I’m going to do just that to see which location works best for me on different dosages. I have been working out really hard so my body needed the extra calories. I’m ok now but I felt bad at the time.
Good morning, Twaun! You look so pretty. Arm injections are no jokes. That's what I talked about on my youtube channel. I try really hard to get protein in or food. Always forcing the food. I am injecting it in my stomach now. Don't like the thigh. Sometimes, it hurt. You are really getting your protein in and fiber.
You had a busy morning!!! It seems like the extra calories some came from your carb increase. But give yourself some grace you don’t eat that way and you workout so your body used it for fuel to handle your workouts. And look you still lost weight 🎉 ❤
The arm was not good for me. I had no suppression. I love the stomach, but couldn’t handle the stomach after 7.5 the side effects were to strong. Now I only do the thighs since I’m on the high dosages.
I love your outfit! Super cute! Try not to feel guilty about going over calories. Guilt is not helpful in this journey. Just do a little better as you can. It’s about progress, not perfection. 🩷💙
Go Twaun go 💃💃💃 🎉🎉

For some reason my right arm gives the worst suppression. Belly gives the strongest.
