First off congratulations! My question is did you force yourself to eat daily, or did you do a lot of fasting because for me this stuff can easily have me miss several meals?
@manskimix Many many days I just forgot to eat. Then started to force myself to at least drink a high protein shake. Gradually started to up my food intake so that made it an easy transition to maintaining my weight.
@@nancyricks7738 ok thank you!! So I will definitely have a slower loss and that’s ok. I need something sustainable and that doesn’t work for me. I’m glad it works for you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🍾🥂I am on Zep and took my 4th shot of 2.5 today. So far I've lost 10 lbs. I am looking forward to the new year with a different attitude towards food and my health and I'm blessed to have the group and you on this journey with me!
I’m starting Tuesday on zepbound. I would have never had the courage to do this without watching your videos and reading the comments and encouragement on the FB page. I’ve never even taken a flu shot, so the whole shot thing really scared me. I’ve always thought determination and will power was the only way to do anything, but after years of trying I finally see that medical help is not a bad thing. We all need help and there is no shame in admitting that. Happy New Year to you!
I understand everything you just wrote… Once menopause hit me my weight just was not moving down . So I started Zepbound on 12/25 … So as of today 1/1/24 I have lost 5 pounds and 1 inch off my waist … So I’m praying this works for me and now you …. Happy New Year 🎉
Timely information as I just scheduled with my dr to discuss bumping up to 5mg! Thank you! Cheers 🥂 to a beautiful and Happy New Year for us all! Together we got this and I will pray for you too.
I'm starting my journey today! New year and hopes for an end to my lifelong weight issues. My insurance does not cover Zepbound, but I did access the discount thru Eli Lilly and paid $550. I'm hoping that my current insurance company as well as Medicare (3 years and I'm there!) re-evaluates their coverage. Being a nurse, I've read the research on these meds and know the ultimate costs of obesity.
I love my primary care provider, she is also on mounjaro (she is type 2 diabetic). She is amazing, I go see her and I feel I am talking to a friend.. She really cares! Took first 2.5mg dose of mounjaro a few days ago (sample from my PCP). Have 5mg zepbound in my fridge already. 3 more doses of mounjaro 2.5mg then I will move up to 5 mg zepbound for 3 months. However, if I feel I need to move up sooner, I only need to call my PCP
🥂 your content has made me realize that I have a doctor who truly doesn’t care about me as a person. I’m just another in and out pt who they want to just throw medications at. I’ve been seeing a hormone replacement specialist whom has helped drastically as my own doctor told me I wasn’t in menopause when I’m actually post menopausal and suffered for almost a year and a half. My hormone replacement doc was a pulmonologist for many years prior to branching out his current practice many years ago which also offers all things regarding bio-identical hormone replacement, Botox, all the things to also include compounds etc but no insurance coverage for any of his patients so I’m thinking about reaching out to your recommended Fridays to see what they can offer me going further. Thank you so much for all the info thus far as I’ve been bingeing your content and seeing your progress has been truly uplifting and inspiring. Btw…I’ll always take the positive prayers 🙏🏻 and uplifts because they are much needed and always wanted 🥰
OMG I am on 5mg and it takes me a bulldozer to get out of bed, I am so tired I recently went got a b12 inj which definitely helped. Thanks for the video
🍷 just took my 2nd shot of 2.5 today. Hoping this week goes better. Last week i ate heathly drank all my water and gained 2 pounds 😢 this will be a better week!!❤
Try incorporating intermittent fasting, lightweights, and cardio. This will definitely help you lose a lot of weight if you stay focused and not eat the way you used to eat. My doctor put me on a detailed diet where I cut out all sugar and starchy carbs and I lost 18 lb my first month and today I start 5 mg. It's just one day at a time. You got this.
🥂Happy New Year!!!! In 6 weeks it will be the anniversary of my daughter passing. In the past October thru April I didn’t care about anything (I did but taking care of myself was not a priority) Food noise has to be the most horrible thing I’ve ever had to combat. Like you I’m so successful in every area of my Life however the food noise never ever went away my whole life after I lost my daughter. Thankfully now it’s completely gone BUT I have to change my relationship with food drastically. Thankful for your videos, your prayers, your group ❤
Would love to hear more about your experience w weight watchers new GLP1 program. I loved the Oprah panel discussion about GLP1s and was jaw dropping to hear weight watchers apologize! An amazing start for obesity awareness.
Thank you as always for the great info. I am starting on Zepbound 5 MG this week. I have been nervous to titrate up. I have gotten the scale and the smart tape measure. I have also followed your links and purchased GEM, LMNT, & 0:06 so I feel like I am now better prepared. I am working on my protein intake so that I can steadily increase and had no idea how little protein I was eating until I actually started tracking. I am also excited to now be able to track my injection and side effects with your tracker. Appreciate you times ten my friend.
🥂. Tommorow is my last day of 2.25. I have the choice to stay or go up to 5mg next week. I'll probably go up 5mg. Scared (not scared maybe worried) about side effects. I have insomnia already & mounjaro isn't helping. Maybe on 5mg I'll get tired at the right time, I'd love to sleep through the nite. Thanks for your prayers & info it's helpful.😊
Hi, how did you do on 5mg? I start today, (well, this evening). I'm reading comments about side effects on 5mg and I admit that I'm a little nervous since I haven't had any side effects on 2.5.
Hi! I love your videos. So helpful! I’m starting Semaglutide next Friday. My first goal is 60 lbs and then I will assess if I want to lose more. I’m wondering if there’s a TH-cam community for specifically Semaglutide that has videos just like yours? Will the shot I’m taking most likely be very similar to your express on monjauro? So far, through my research, I’m seeing the difference is that folks on Monjauro just lose more weight rapidly where Semaglutide is a slower response
I just started 2.5 Mournjaro this week. I’m still hungry..idk if it’s bc my period (which is totally out of sink just two weeks ago. I had a period. Took my shot this Monday. It’s back on.) I will drink more water today.
🥂 Thank you for all the information you put out. I have my check in with my PCP on the 11th, right after my 2nd Zep injection (and 4 weeks into my journey) and I’m curious how the convo will go. How would it work switching to Join Friday after I’m already on the medication? I’m curious, as weight has already been coming off, if they’ll take my starting bloodwork and stats, or if the new round would end up possibly excluding me from coverage…
Well thank you for this info! Did my 3rd 5.0 injection this past Thursday and have been so sick. I have been rotating injection sites on arm only, now I know that I need to rotate to all three sites. I have been sick for 3 days, no vomiting but nausea, so tired, cannot eat at all. I know that is not good for me. In 3 days I do another injection and I am terrified of being so sick. Also my injection site was swollen and red and sore, so so confused of what is happening. II always clean injection site before injections. I start the 7.5 next week and need all your help of what to do. I am visiting with my Dr on Wed, but wondering if any of you are having of these problems? Or any info how to get through this?
And yes! Agree w you I’m very interested in our options post medication. I’m a sensitive type on medications and can’t imagine living this way forever. So I’m eager to learn ways to stay off.
Such great info. I talk to my NP. But remember they might not think to ask you certain things. Don’t take it for granted. I was asked if I was rotating and I’m like yes. But I wasn’t rotating in all 3 sights.
I am on week 3 of 5mg and am feeling discouraged :( I keep gaining and losing the same 3 lbs all while exercising, staying hydrated, and balancing a healthy diet. Did great on the 2.5mg though and was able to lose 13 lbs in the first month.
I did my 2nd week off 2.5 and used my left leg for the injection spot and either it's not working from that spot or I didn't get a good injection. Has anyone else experienced something similar???
For some ppl, it takes awhile to kick in. I didn’t lose any weight until my third week on the 2.5mg. That said, there’s also some ppl won’t really see much benefit until they get to higher doses, like the 5 or 7.5mg. T2D ppl or ppl who are severely metabolically disregulated (usually through *lots* of yo-yo dieting/weight-cycling) tend to need higher doses in order to lose. AND often have to better about the lifestyle changes than most. ☑️
The first week I did my stomach and it worked fine, but the second week I said well let me rotate my injection spots and chose my left thigh and noticed in about two days the effects of the medication wasn’t the same
@@hotlatte3230Thank you for this comment! I’ve lost almost 100 pounds on my own and I have 80 more to go. One of my goals is to start my weight training this year. I’m nervous but if I don’t start I’ll be 80 pounds down and no muscle.
I started Mounjaro 2.5 three weeks ago and I've lost 10 pounds already which is great but, the headaches and nauseas are bothering me every day. Today my doctor was happy to see how great this medication is working and decided to increase to 5mg now. I'm a little skeptical about this adjustment because of the side effects I'm having with the low dose of 2.5mg.. I know my body needs to get used to Mounjaro. I'm super excited because my blood sugar have dropped from 300 fasting to 107🎉🎉🎉. I have a question, I'm eating very little carbs... Do you recommend I don't do this since I'm having these unpleasant nauseas and headaches?

Congratulations!!!!! Are you following a specific diet?
First off congratulations!
My question is did you force yourself to eat daily, or did you do a lot of fasting because for me this stuff can easily have me miss several meals?
@vanessafinlay5278 high protein low carb.
@manskimix Many many days I just forgot to eat. Then started to force myself to at least drink a high protein shake. Gradually started to up my food intake so that made it an easy transition to maintaining my weight.

Can you tell me when/how you decide to go to a higher doseage?
I am on week 3 of 5mg and am feeling discouraged :( I keep gaining and losing the same 3 lbs all while exercising, staying hydrated, and balancing a healthy diet. Did great on the 2.5mg though and was able to lose 13 lbs in the first month.
Hows it going?
How are you doing today? I start 5mg today. I did awesome on 2.5 losing 18lbs my 1st month.
Love Mr Freddy. And you! X
Isn't he great?! He's so crazy and we love him so much
How do you know when to you should increase the dosage?
For the first several seconds I thought Mr. Freddy was a stuffed dog. He did not move.
Well he’s cute like a stuffed animal. 🥰
Bwhahhah he was in hunting mode! He did looked stuffed 🙌
I did my 2nd week off 2.5 and used my left leg for the injection spot and either it's not working from that spot or I didn't get a good injection. Has anyone else experienced something similar???
I just said the same thing I’m getting ready to do my second shot Tuesday and so far nothing I think I need a higher dose
For some ppl, it takes awhile to kick in. I didn’t lose any weight until my third week on the 2.5mg.
That said, there’s also some ppl won’t really see much benefit until they get to higher doses, like the 5 or 7.5mg.
T2D ppl or ppl who are severely metabolically disregulated (usually through *lots* of yo-yo dieting/weight-cycling) tend to need higher doses in order to lose.
AND often have to better about the lifestyle changes than most. ☑️
Try doing your stomach instead. I stall on legs.
The first week I did my stomach and it worked fine, but the second week I said well let me rotate my injection spots and chose my left thigh and noticed in about two days the effects of the medication wasn’t the same
🍸Where is the link for WW? I'm tired today - lol - so I probably just can't see it. Thanks!
Holy chips Marcia! Thank you for pointing out.
I started on 2.5 and it’s not really doing anything
Cheers, first week and my stool is clay color…looked it up.. any one have this happen…
Happy New Year 🥂
Happy New Year Keisha!
Are you experiencing any stretched skin? I need to lose 100+ pounds and have heard that some people have skin reduction surgery.
Strength training will help!
@@hotlatte3230Thank you for this comment! I’ve lost almost 100 pounds on my own and I have 80 more to go. One of my goals is to start my weight training this year. I’m nervous but if I don’t start I’ll be 80 pounds down and no muscle.

2nd shot of 5mg mounjaro. I don't feel any lighter. Haven't lost anything 😢
20 pounds down 8 weeks 🎉
I get insomnia for the first night or two. Definitely constipated. 😅
So I do something weird for constipation. Blow threw a straw really slowly..I'm in the bathroom about 5 minutes after
I dont want to barf!!!Lol!! I am in first week of 5... I love LMNT too
Are you able to inject back of arm yourself? Doesn’t seem to hard ?
Eli Lilly in literature says not to
On week 2 and no weight loss on 2.5 Tirepiside (not sure how to spell)
Cheers!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Elizabeth

I started Mounjaro 2.5 three weeks ago and I've lost 10 pounds already which is great but, the headaches and nauseas are bothering me every day.
Today my doctor was happy to see how great this medication is working and decided to increase to 5mg now.
I'm a little skeptical about this adjustment because of the side effects I'm having with the low dose of 2.5mg..
I know my body needs to get used to Mounjaro.
I'm super excited because my blood sugar have dropped from 300 fasting to 107🎉🎉🎉.
I have a question, I'm eating very little carbs... Do you recommend I don't do this since I'm having these unpleasant nauseas and headaches?
🎉 cheers
How are you getting mounjaro covered by your insurance for weight loss ?
I self pay...for insurance, did you appeal a decline?
