I've been morbidly obese for YEARS and was wearing a size 28... sometimes higher! Yesterday, at the urging of my sister, I tried on a pair of size 18 jeans and could fit them! I nearly cried because I haven't worn that size in almost 30 years! Moral of the story: I couldn't care LESS what people think about those of us who take these medications! ONLY I know how long and hard my weight loss and health struggles have exhausted me, so they can say whatever they want! I'm "coming back to life" and doing things that I never thought I'd be able to do! So, let's CELEBRATE our successes and ignore the haters! 🎉🎈👗🥳👏♥️🙏🔥
⚡ I'm a type 2 diabetic who just hit a year on Mounjaro. I've lost 45 pounds so far but the exciting part is that my A1c went from 12 to 5.7. Very happy to be a part of this community.
⚡️⚡️⚡️I am wearing a dress that I bought 8 years ago, could never wear it. Well today is that day. I feel so pretty, but my self esteem is so low and it is hard for me to say that I do feel pretty! You are amazing Elizabeth and I appreciate you!
I’m so happy for you! I think all women are beautiful. So sorry it took you so long to have a “Pretty.” God bless. Stay positive. You’re perfect just the way you are.
I knew when we saw friends from my Sweetie's side last weekend ...if I told them I would be shredded. My Sweetheart and I came up with a game plan and worked it out ahead of time. I am very careful who I tell. This is for me. Hands off. Oh..and don't tell me I took the easy way out. This is not easy. My life is precious and it is mine!! Elizabeth I so respect you. I pray for you and your family. 🙏🏻 🔩🔩🔩
⚡️I don’t worry so much about social situations. It is what it is. I eat what is served (within limits of course) but not a lot. I too bring my own beverage (Simple Modern 40oz) just not into restaurants. I’ll just order tea or water with lemon. I don’t drink alcohol so not issue there! I am high protein focused for sure. As far as whatever people think about me, I don’t care, that’s their problem not mine. Life is too short and getting shorter as I am 66 yrs young 😂 I care about what the good Lord thinks, cuz that’s all that matters. I love your videos and like I’ve mentioned before, will pick and choose what sounds like it might work for me and try it. I appreciate your time and all your tips Elizabeth. ❤⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️👍🏼🇺🇸
⚡️I have found that majority of people eithe neighbors friends and acquaintances are mostly very negative about my weight loss and the use of mounjaro. Even when I say I’m diabetic I need the med to control my blood sugar, or I need to lose the weight to get knee replacement surgery so I don’t end up in a wheelchair they say negative things. It bothers me but I don’t dwell on it. I just found it to be so surprising. It won’t stop me. I’ll never give up.
It says way more about these folks than you. I think people resent other people who "get a hand up" .The mentality that you don't deserve what you don't "work for" is so prevalent these days (little do they understand how much work obese people put in to their health, and with no payback/results!) . People need to care more for their neighbors and frankly mind their own business if they don't have empathy. ❤
⚡️⚡️I can fit into my size 14 jeans again!! I haven’t worn them for almost 10 years! Still have 25# to go, but that was a major NSV! Thanks for your tips, this will be my first holiday on Mounjaro, and I really appreciate being fore-armed with some techniques & tips to deal with them.
⚡️Excellent, as always. Just back from a week long Cabo vaca... was worried about weight gain, but my husband said to relax and enjoy. My adult son and his wife were with us, so food and drinks at the pool were in abundance. I was able to enjoy a few water aerobics classes in the pool by the ocean...so awesome! I came home with ONLY 1.5 lbs up, which is a miracle for me. So happy to get back home and in my routine again Today's healty choice - Silver Sneakers 50 minute aerobic class and a one hour water aerobics class right after. Winning! All the best to you Countess and fellow warriors!! God bless!
💜Brave are the ones who share their GLP to the world! I cannot go there yet-just my “hot husband” knows. Let them talk behind my back and speculate. Bravo to you and others for sharing this and shielding the haters. You’re an inspo to thousands!!!
⚡️Just broke through a stall 🎉 changed up the workout and added strength, added more protein and watched 3 of your videos on stalling. Grilling and freezing chicken today so that my protein is readily available! Thank you for your prayers! As you pray for me, I will pray for you. 💜
Great video! I needed this because I have a wedding this weekend. Where several family members whom have said not nice things to me over the past year. I need to have my head right when I go to this. For me, it never crosses my mind to be that way towards someone. But many people just feel the need to tell you their opinion on you.
⚡️⚡️⚡️I'm with ya girl on the drinks. I need more cup holders in my truck. Having those leafy greens today for lunch. Not my favorite, but we gotta do what we gotta do. 🥴
⚡️I made the possible mistake of telling everyone that I was taking mounjaro and I have recieved a ton of grief. It’s been rude comments & you have taken the easy way. I’ve really focused on spending time with people who support or lift me up after my 80lb lost , I am now below my BMI weight but my doctor thinks this is the best option to treat and keep type 2 manageable. I get the your too skinny now or your using this medicine for vanity now. I am so great for you countess and this community you have created. Many times during my 15 month journey I’ve felt alone then I see everyone on fb , who makes me feel better than anyone in real life. Thanks for tackling this topic even though you receive so much backlash. 😊
⚡❤I enjoy the holidays also have purchased a few Christmas items! Until then working on finding a ballerina outfit for Halloween! Lol my grandson is five he told me thats what I needed to dress-up as! Lol He is gonna be batman and 2yr old is spiderman! I can't wait! Losing 70lbs has given me my life back being able to enjoy life! Today I am counting my steps and drinking as much water as I can shot day isn't until thursday! Happy Monday!🎉
🌩️🌩️ Today I’m incorporating chia seeds into my diet. Pinterest has so many delicious looking recipes made with chia seeds, and they have so many health benefits, who knew!! If I’m going to be in a social setting, I drink a protein shake before I go, so that I will eat a smaller portion. When I get to talking I’m not nearly as mindful of how much I’m eating and how fast I’m eating. With the protein shake, I’m already pretty full, so I don’t want as much food and I always ask for a to go tray, if I eating out, to put 1/2 of my 1/2 portion of food in. Putting my fork down between bites and savoring what I’m eating has been by far the hardest lifestyle change I have made. For as long as I could remember, I shoveled food in, not allowing my brain time to catch up with my stomach or my tastes time to taste my food. It’s an intentional decision I make with every bite I take.
I LOVE my beverages too!!! I am currently obsessed with Olipop Cream Soda. I treat myself to one a day. I've tried a few other flavors, but cream soda is the bomb! It has prebiotics and it helps with the constipation too. It has 9 grams of fiber! ⚡
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ I have found myself worrying about social events, but then actually finding once I am there, they have not been as hard as I have thought. In terms of not drinking alcohol I have found that driving is the perfect excuse to not drink... and nobody questions it, so it is an easy option. To get closer to my goal today, I went swimming after work 🇬🇧
⚡️⚡️ Girl! Thank you SO much for this because I've been stressing over this exact thing lately! I have a social function coming up in a couple weeks for a birthday gathering and I get so nervous about the questions about my weight and why I'm not eating etc. One of my family members even straight up asked me if I was taking a diet med! I'm not one to lie but I did in this case because that's my private information I choose to only share with a select few people who I am very close with and trust. These tips will help me at the holiday gatherings too. Thanks so much girl! ❤
⚡️Ive only told my son and daughter-in-law and my niece that im using semaglutide. I just knew the comments from random people would be too discouraging for me to deal with. Now that im down 50 lbs, I know I made the right choice. I am a little concerned with the holidays coming, but I think it's good to start making a plan now to help me control my eating. What a joy to have this tool!!
⚡️ Yusssss!!!! I am totally already playing Christmas music too! It's my favorite!! 😂 I'm in San Diego & it was 110 degrees yesterday. Christmas music lets my mind pretend it's cold outside lol
⚡️ most of our family gathering are based around food as we are a family of foodies! I'll have to really focus on avoiding appetizers and pre-meal snacks otherwise I will be full before dinner. I have only told people I know will be supportive. I don't really care what people think, but I just don't have time or energy to deal with negative comments or invasive questions. I just tell people I'm working out daily and focusing on protein - which are both true.
I’m one them who also listen to you while walking.❤ Yes is so sad family are the first to criticize while trying to loose weight! Just like the one’s who sits next to you and gives nice compliments to other family members but won’t give them to you! Meanwhile you down 20 + pounds🤦🏾♀️ down.
⚡️ The social thing is so difficult! Friends can be total food pushers!!! Not to be mean but still trying to get you to taste this or try this….its really difficult sometimes! Thanks for the LMNT offer, I just placed my first order today! 😊
⚡️⚡️⚡️ Thx for the scenarios, Elizabeth! Fully agree...this has NOT been an "easy way out"! It's been a hard but exciting journey. It always surprises me how many people have an opinion about my weight now that I'm down 38lbs on my 7.5mg of Mounjaro! (Luckily, most are good but not all 😔)...love beverages as well! ❤...great video! I encourage others to decide how much would like to share with others BEFORE the topic arises bc it will 😜
⚡️ I have not told everyone. And there are people I did tell that I wish I hadn’t. People have a lot of opinions about what we should or should not do. I have fought through a lot to get to where I am and I am going to keep going.
Christmas is the best! 🎄 I need at least 6 weeks of Christmas, and usually decorate before thanksgiving. Hehe! Also, I just love the cold months. Decorate for fall and Christmas l! Lol!
*Sidenote:* Fridays just changed their pricing. Some things are higher, some lower… but anyone on 7.5 or higher compounded Tirzepatide will probably be happy. 😊
⚡ The most I will tell (only close family and friends) is that I'm losing weight through Zepbound, a ton of work, and serious lifestyle changes.I rarely answer follow up questions chosing instead to change the subject. It works! Perhaps it's because I make it short, sweet, and to the point in an authoritative manner and then quickly move on.
⚡️ Today is the day after shot day so will be resting. Thanks for the helpful advice. I only shared I was on the meds to loose weight with my 4 closest friends who have been very supportive.
⚡⚡ I am about to start the journey. I got some fruits, vegetables and protein so that I'm ready for after I take my shot. I'm trying to change some lifestyle things right now so I'm totally ready when the time comes. Thank you for your encouragement
⚡️⚡️ - pilates and a long dog walk. This is an area I think about too...other people's attitude regarding knowing I'm on mounjaro. I tend not to share - I pretty much know the people who'll have an 'opinion' already 🤣 - sad isn't it 😋
⚡️Going into my third month with Mounjaro,down 17 lbs, still trying to figure out all the side effects ect,thank you so much for your wonderful information. I definitely think I need electrolytes!
⚡⚡ Great advice. I'm with you girl! I love beverages too! I do enjoy the occasional cocktail or glass of wine, although it does go right to my head. LOL
⚡️⚡️I’m going on a beach vacation in a couple of weeks with my dad, sister, and best friend. My best friend is also overweight and I’ve shared my journey with her. She’s always been supportive but she made a comment or two that definitely didn’t sit well with me about how she didn’t want me to be exhausted and not eating on vacation. The day after shot day is pretty tiring for me and I usually have huge appetite suppression for 1-3 days. She implied I should consider skipping my shot that week. Well, that’s NOT happening. I know she truly didn’t mean to upset me but I’ve been really thinking about how to do what’s best for me and not worry about how it may or may not affect her. I’m sure we’ll have a great time but this new lifestyle does bring some extra thought and planning to social situations.
Good for you; it sounds like you're handling well your friend's criticism of you because some of what you're doing (taking care of your health!) is not serving her anymore. Carry on! 👏🏾
My current weird food struggle is having no interest in preparing food. I just don’t care. Nothing sounds good. I’m going to buy some beef sticks to see if that’s easier for me to eat than a meal. I am too often defaulting to having a protein shake or protein bar. I’m trying to find real foods, whole foods, that I can tolerate. I have a potluck to go to and can’t figure out what to make for it. I think I’m going to take hummus and baby carrots. I can stand to eat that. And, any leftovers won’t go to waste. I can’t believe how much food languishes in my fridge and goes bad before I can get any interest in eating it. I used to never throw away food.
I have the same issue. I buy Wonderslim meals for when I just can't bring myself to eat but know I need to not put my body in starvation mode. Wonderslim is low carb, high protein. I like the Mac and cheese, fettuccine Alfredo, and sloppy Joe meals. I add chicken or beef (Keystone canned meats are really really tasty, healthy, and easy peasy) and that is much easier to prepare and eat than cooking chicken thighs, etc.
Knowing your not offering medical advice (and that’s not what I asking for here), do you ever or did you ever find yourself getting lightheaded throughout this process.? I find myself lightheaded whenever I’m on the floor with my puppies or bent over and stand up. The doctor kinda blew it off without being rude or dismissive but it happens a lot. I was just wondering if there’s something you think I’m missing that I could control this or if I should push the issue with the doctor? ⚡️
⚡️⚡️I just hit my 4 month mark and 26 pounds down!! But the constipation has hit me bad lately. Eeek! Salads, fruit, 100 oz water and Metamucil gummies aren’t helping much anymore. Suggestions? When people ask me how I have managed to lose this weight, I usually just simply say that I’m being very careful with my food choices and leave it at that. Lots of people don’t or won’t understand and can be very judgmental so I keep my explanation short and sweet!!
Metamucill gummies stopped working for me too. I have started fiber capsules with psyllium husk and that has helped a bunch. I take it about 1 hour after dinner. Elizabeth also has videos on constipation and some other suggestions. Constipation is my worst side effect. Good luck!
🌩🌩 So sad 😢 No one knows I'm on a glp. I use to privately email you when I first started. I do IF so that's what everyone knows about me. Why do we chose to live in shame instead of stand up to what we feel is best for us🤷🏽♀️
⚡️⚡️⚡️…. I also chose not to tell outside family members. I learned from having gastric bypass 21 years ago who were supportive and who were not. My sister “ the skinny one” never asked me about my bypass surgery, never came to visit me in the hospital and never spoke a word about it after. I never understood why. Now with family starting to see some weight loss again I have an aunt who always has to ask me if I’m on the pen or tell me about who is and how much they have lost. Never has she asked me about being on metformin because of being pre diabetic. I just say I am going back to my bariatric roots and concentrating on high protein and jumping on the bandwagon of proffee’s, which I am. It has been a lot of work along with having the tools. I think people who make ignorant comments think with the tool we can just eat anything. I find it’s the uneducated who make the most remarks. I find now compared to 21 years ago I don’t have to explain anything to anyone anymore. It just may be that I am older and wiser now. Love you my friend! ❤
I never hear anything about being on mounjaro and being on insulin. For me I am on 15 now and blood sugars are great but I bottom out like 43/45 so doctor decreased my insulin just want to know if anyone struggles with this issue Cause I am not eating much not hungry So any suggestions on this issue???
I've been morbidly obese for YEARS and was wearing a size 28... sometimes higher! Yesterday, at the urging of my sister, I tried on a pair of size 18 jeans and could fit them! I nearly cried because I haven't worn that size in almost 30 years! Moral of the story: I couldn't care LESS what people think about those of us who take these medications!

hi Elizabeth
⚡️⚡️ - pilates and a long dog walk.
This is an area I think about too...other people's attitude regarding knowing I'm on mounjaro. I tend not to share - I pretty much know the people who'll have an 'opinion' already 🤣 - sad isn't it 😋
⚡️ I love your videos!
⚡️Going into my third month with Mounjaro,down 17 lbs, still trying to figure out all the side effects ect,thank you so much for your wonderful information. I definitely think I need electrolytes!
⚡⚡ Great advice. I'm with you girl! I love beverages too! I do enjoy the occasional cocktail or glass of wine, although it does go right to my head. LOL
Loving your nails today.
⚡️Did a standing abs workout before 5am. Also drank 40oz LMNT and surprisingly I drank it all before 9a. ☺️

⚡️⚡️I’m going on a beach vacation in a couple of weeks with my dad, sister, and best friend. My best friend is also overweight and I’ve shared my journey with her. She’s always been supportive but she made a comment or two that definitely didn’t sit well with me about how she didn’t want me to be exhausted and not eating on vacation. The day after shot day is pretty tiring for me and I usually have huge appetite suppression for 1-3 days. She implied I should consider skipping my shot that week. Well, that’s NOT happening. I know she truly didn’t mean to upset me but I’ve been really thinking about how to do what’s best for me and not worry about how it may or may not affect her. I’m sure we’ll have a great time but this new lifestyle does bring some extra thought and planning to social situations.
Good for you; it sounds like you're handling well your friend's criticism of you because some of what you're doing (taking care of your health!) is not serving her anymore. Carry on! 👏🏾
⚡Walking today - On 3 weeks of mile or more a day with dogs
⚡️ just ordered some electrolytes, excited to try them
⚡️Thank you
My current weird food struggle is having no interest in preparing food. I just don’t care. Nothing sounds good. I’m going to buy some beef sticks to see if that’s easier for me to eat than a meal. I am too often defaulting to having a protein shake or protein bar. I’m trying to find real foods, whole foods, that I can tolerate. I have a potluck to go to and can’t figure out what to make for it. I think I’m going to take hummus and baby carrots. I can stand to eat that. And, any leftovers won’t go to waste. I can’t believe how much food languishes in my fridge and goes bad before I can get any interest in eating it. I used to never throw away food.
I'm encountering this somewhat as well! I keep telling myself it is due to the Phoenix heat, and the effort can seem too much. I go back and forth 😅
I have the same issue. I buy Wonderslim meals for when I just can't bring myself to eat but know I need to not put my body in starvation mode. Wonderslim is low carb, high protein. I like the Mac and cheese, fettuccine Alfredo, and sloppy Joe meals. I add chicken or beef (Keystone canned meats are really really tasty, healthy, and easy peasy) and that is much easier to prepare and eat than cooking chicken thighs, etc.
@@lmktacwa thanks for the tip
Knowing your not offering medical advice (and that’s not what I asking for here), do you ever or did you ever find yourself getting lightheaded throughout this process.? I find myself lightheaded whenever I’m on the floor with my puppies or bent over and stand up. The doctor kinda blew it off without being rude or dismissive but it happens a lot. I was just wondering if there’s something you think I’m missing that I could control this or if I should push the issue with the doctor? ⚡️
⚡️⚡️thank you⚡️⚡️drinking lots of water and getting my protien in⚡️⚡️

Lighting bolt! I do not have an emoji. Lol
⚡️ The people who ask me about my loss are usually people who need help too. Other people don’t say anything to me.
⚡️⚡️I just hit my 4 month mark and 26 pounds down!! But the constipation has hit me bad lately. Eeek! Salads, fruit, 100 oz water and Metamucil gummies aren’t helping much anymore. Suggestions?
When people ask me how I have managed to lose this weight, I usually just simply say that I’m being very careful with my food choices and leave it at that. Lots of people don’t or won’t understand and can be very judgmental so I keep my explanation short and sweet!!
Metamucill gummies stopped working for me too. I have started fiber capsules with psyllium husk and that has helped a bunch. I take it about 1 hour after dinner. Elizabeth also has videos on constipation and some other suggestions. Constipation is my worst side effect. Good luck!
🌩🌩 So sad 😢 No one knows I'm on a glp. I use to privately email you when I first started. I do IF so that's what everyone knows about me. Why do we chose to live in shame instead of stand up to what we feel is best for us🤷🏽♀️
⚡️⚡️⚡️…. I also chose not to tell outside family members. I learned from having gastric bypass 21 years ago who were supportive and who were not. My sister “ the skinny one” never asked me about my bypass surgery, never came to visit me in the hospital and never spoke a word about it after. I never understood why. Now with family starting to see some weight loss again I have an aunt who always has to ask me if I’m on the pen or tell me about who is and how much they have lost. Never has she asked me about being on metformin because of being pre diabetic. I just say I am going back to my bariatric roots and concentrating on high protein and jumping on the bandwagon of proffee’s, which I am. It has been a lot of work along with having the tools. I think people who make ignorant comments think with the tool we can just eat anything. I find it’s the uneducated who make the most remarks. I find now compared to 21 years ago I don’t have to explain anything to anyone anymore. It just may be that I am older and wiser now. Love you my friend! ❤
I never hear anything about being on mounjaro and being on insulin. For me I am on 15 now and blood sugars are great but I bottom out like 43/45 so doctor decreased my insulin just want to know if anyone struggles with this issue Cause I am not eating much not hungry So any suggestions on this issue???
Is alcohol a no go? I know limiting due to weight loss.
