❤ Thank you. I moderate for a lot of TT old school GLP1 advocates. The ones who essentially said all the things you said today.

And this is not the easy way out, it is a tool in your journey. Thank you for being relatable and for doing the research.
I really enjoy your videos! You are relatable and down to earth. There is a particular TH-cam personality I try to watch for info but she is constantly selling something. Which is annoying. You are doing awesome and I know your viewership will grow! Thanks for your videos!
❤ Thank you Brittany for your encouragement and most importantly your honesty. Starting my mounjaro journey as a diabetic and 7 weeks on 2.5 and 9lbs down. Slow and steady wins the race. 🤞 Thanks again for all your videos and sharing your journey with all of us! 😘
That’s my dream lol the only thing I worry and dread is the attention I’ll get because I do a lot of biking/walking and I was constantly harassed in the 90s.

Thank you one month on muonjaro and have lost 11 pounds. It’s magic 🪄 when nothing else works this is a game changer for me ❤ stayed on 2.5 mg as 5mg made me really unwell nauseated 🤢 and vomiting 🤮 my sweet spot is 3.5mg
❤ thanks for being so honest and not shoving many products to us. Obviously is how most content creators make their money but on this topic is so important to hear the truth. Again thank you for all these videos and sharing your experience.
Just on 3rd week at 2.5mg. Thank god I saw this as I was starting to wonder when I would start losing weight. Thought I’d been scammed into paying a lot of money for something that doesn’t work. Now that Ive seen this, I will keep the faith and wait for my dose increase. ❤❤❤
❤ only one month in and I’m pleased with my 8 lbs down. I’m sticking to 2.5 Zepbound if I can finds some, I like the way I feel the will power and the fullness feeling, I don’t want to push it? I heard what you said and 5 is the first therapeutic dose, but I’m gonna go slow.
♥I've started on the 2.5 Zepbound and the non-scale benefits have already been enough for me: better breathing, less inflammation...I could cry. This medication has been so helpful for me!
Hi ya, I've been on mounjaro for a month, and I feel no different. I was worried it wasn't working and was getting discouraged. I'm starting 5mg on sunday and can't wait. I'm going to watch all your videos. Love how you present information and not talk about irrelevant topics. Thank you ❤😊
❤❤ I lost 15.8 lbs on my first four weeks of 2.5mg Zepbound. But I did pair that with stressing protein and cutting carbs and 12/12 (8pm-8am) intermittent fasting. Now I am on 5.0 mg Zepbound. Weight loss continues.
Thank you for this video! I just started Zepbound last week, and I found an influencer with a ton of videos in which she touts a ton of "necessary" products. I was exhausted just watching her! I'm never going to be a person who mixes up protein powder and flax seeds and makes a complicated smoothie every day. But, eating more protein, drinking lots of water and getting enough fiber - I can do that!
This video was great. I am lucky that my doctor did explain not to expect a lot of weight loss my first month. I noticed severe appetite suppression from my 1st shot which made me eat much less. I did lose 10.8 lbs but I was also eating low carb so I am sure that factored in as well. Yesterday was my 2nd dose of 2.5mg and today I have no appetite and feel super tired. I need to work it so I take my shots on Friday so I have the weekends to recover. I am still trying to balance out an eating plan but as for now I am just focusing on protein and low carb.
♥Thanks for this video. Best one I have seen on the subject. I am on my second dose of 2.5 and no one has told me anything of what to expect. Can't tell you how much this helped me. Good on you!
I know the material indicates it is not a therapeutic dose, but I hear a lot of people and I am in that group have managed to lose over 30 pounds being on 2.5 mg and my sugars are controlled as I am a diabetic. I have been able to get off two of my other diabetic medication‘s, 5 mg with other blood sugar medications have multiple low sugars which is not a good thing so I am staying with 2.5 and have been at my maintenance weight since January.
Thank you for posting this. I am in my first month and have not lost that much and I am doing everything right, including working out, eating more protein and drinking plenty of water. I was starting to think perimenopause was also making this difficult for me.
❤ I'm on my first week of 2.5mg. Minimal appetite suppression and I'm scared to check the scales at the end of week 1 😩 but watching this video has given me hope. ❤
♥- Thank you Brittany for Sharing all your knowledge. With the shortage issue upon us all I have contacted and set up with Orderly this evening. I used the link in this video and hopefully you will get credit for my account creation. Having been on Zepbound since Feb of this year I have lost 15 pounds and seeing changes in my body mass. I needed to do something (Compounding) to keep from losing my progress. Again thank you for you inspirational Vlogs on these GLP-1's
This is true . I must have missed this video earlier before starting . I am starting the next dose in a week . The 2.5 I had no weight loss but no weight gain ! Looking forward to the next steps . But this month has been good for rethinking food and the relationship Thank you ❤
I was extremely edgy and irritable for 2-3 days following my very first dose of Mounjaro 2.5mg I haven't had symptoms of PMS for many, many years.... I'm 58 and had total hysterectomy in 2016, no HRT after surgery. I'm like a mood swing virgin again! 💜💜💜💜
Thanks for keeping it real! You are refreshing to watch. I just started week one but went into it doing tons of research. I hate the stigma that we are “taking the easy way out”. Lifestyle changes that you are not used to is NOT easy so I’m proud of myself for doing the walking, making smarter food choices, water drinking, and not ordering the pizza! Emptying out my bedside chocolate stash was difficult too! Anyway, I believe our prescribing providers should educate their pts on the importance of lifestyle modifications necessary for success on these meds. It takes a lot of work. There simply is no “magic shot”.
Hi…I’m a brand new subscriber… I started after COVID after teaching from home at 253… dropped to 185 at my lowest after Bariatric surgery ( the sleeve)… spent the past few years about at 190… decided with my weight loss doctor to try Zepbound… started in November? Last weigh in…178.8… I’m happy but still figuring out what I’m doing… I love your straight forward honest advice and manner. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks! 🎉🎉💕
Thanks for the video! I just picked up my first dosage and am ready to start my journey. I just need to now decide when to start! Looking forward to this! ❤
❤ I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and prescribed 2.5 mounjaro. I’ve been afraid to pick up the prescription because of possible side effects, but your video makes it seem less intimidating.
I did 2.5 starting out. Went to 3 after a month. Not much weight loss in the beginning. Then it started to slowly come off. Then went to 3.5. Meh… 4 put me in the bed for 3 days with nausea and complete fatigue!!!! Went back to 3.5 for a couple weeks. Then 3 for a month. Back to 2.5 for a couple months. Still losing weight! I’m at my goal weight now and doing 1.5 a week. If that goes good, I’d like to do 1.0 a week. If the voices come back, I’ll up it again. But what sticks out during my journey is being sooooo tired all the time!!!!! Muscle loss and severe fatigue! But I started getting my energy back when I went down to 1.5 and I’m lifting weights again!! Yayyyy!!!! I’ve been on this journey 8 months and I’ve lost 30 pounds and I’m no longer pre diabetic!🙏👏
Week 3 of 2.5 mg! Worried about shortages as I’ll be asking my dr about moving to 5 mg next. I’ve definitely felt the effects of the appetite suppressants. Ive been eating healthier and walking 3-4 times/ week for 45mins- 1 hour. Only con /side effect is that I’ve noticed that I’ll have digestion issues after drinking alcohol/ mixed drinks.
I started on 2.5mg Mounjaro August 26th and lost 30 lbs. the first month. Now I'm down from 208 to 165 and it's still under 2 months since I started. It's amazing stuff. I am on the compounded version since insurance doesn't cover it, but it is definitely working!! I've had some nausea and weakness, but they kept me on 2.5mg since I'm losing weight so quick. I'm also doing Ruthless, which is a 20 minute workout program similar to Insanity with intense circuit training.
@@AZNGoSu I just got moved up to 5mg yesterday. So, since August 26th I've lost 45 lbs. now. I felt kind of weak losing the weight so quick, but I'm also on Phentermine twice a day which gives me some energy. I am on the super combo I guess you could say lol. I'm working out everyday for 20 minutes of intense interval circuit training. All bodyweight exercises. It's a program called Ruthless which is similar to Insanity. I'm eating around 1200 calories a day and keeping protein high. I only want to lose 20 more pounds and then maintain. I will probably try just taking the phentermine when I get to where I want to be as it is cheaper.
I am so happy to have found this video. I am getting ready to be on week four of my first month with mounjaro. You are explaining the very things I have been curious about being a newbie. Thank you for making it understandable. I may ask a bunch of questions so please bear with me. I would be grateful to you and your followers in answering what may be dumb questions to y’all. Thank you, thank all of you in advance and God Bless.
I was newly diagnosed with diabetes and am taking Mounjaro to lower my A1C. I am trying not to weigh myself or have expectations of weight loss because I've spent 60 years of diet-weight insanity and I'm getting off that train i will be surprised or not the next time I have to get on a scale.
Taking 1st dose today. Goal weight 128. Starting Gym this evening. Need to up water intake. I agree Dr told me the first 4 weeks is to get body use to it. She stresses I might lose 3 lbs. Trusting the process.
I started Mournjaro at 2.5mg, ti lower my A1c. I have taken 5 injectables, 5 weeks. I started at 176lbs I am now 155lbs. Appetite NONE. Nausea is only side effect. One hour before taking the injectable I take a Dramamine tablet(Nausea). I do not crave. sweets. If I try to eat something sweet it seems inedible to me. The sweetness is gross and nauseauating. It works well for me.❤
Im on week one @ 2.5 on Zepbound and sadly so far I havent noticed a change in appetite and/or "food noise". I did start to diet regardless. I suspect I will need to increase BUT! Id rather start low and get my body used to it and then slowly increase. Hopefully something will kick on soon enough
❤Brittany, Thank you for your posts. I have learned more info about using Zepbound as a weight loss tool. From you then I have from my Doctor. I’ve watched 3 of your videos and am much better informed to start taking my 5 mg dose tomorrow. I have behaved well all month and lost only 5 lbs. Now I know why. So now I am motived to tackle month two. ❤ FYI your to the point commentary is much appreciated. I have watched other people’s videos and quit because their whiny approach just turned me off. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks Beverly
❤ Thank you so much for this video! I’m now on week 2. I lost 4 pounds my first week!🎊🎉 I started out 224 I’m 5’2 and 50ish in age. I did start working out along with the shot. For the first week the first few days the appetite suppression was extreme! I wondered if I would want to eat ever again. 😂Then it tapered off days 4 - 7. However, I was then able to eat a normal meal and I didn’t want anything else. I agree with you. Take things slow, don’t expect to lose a bunch of weight in a month. Also, everyone is different. I’ve always hated the scale because it can be temperamental. I suggest weighing one a week and that’s all. Again thanks for sharing!❤
❤ Thanks for sharing this realistic info on mounjaro. I'm strongly considering this option to control my A1c and weight loss. I'm in research mode and this was very helpful.
❤ I'm just transitioning from Wegovy to Zepbound. I really like your video. It's just the right amount of info. I look forward to watching your other videos along my journey.
I'm in week one but I think my case is a little different since I had bariatric surgery five years ago this stuff is working amazing I'm not hungry and even when I get the hunger pains, I can look at food and not be interested. I'm actually eating back at the same portion size I used to eatwhen I first had my surgery and I'm loving it because I'm focused on other things besides but I can't wait to go to the higher doses.
❤ Glad I found you! You talk sense! I was watching someone else but wasn't long in discovering she was just all about selling etc! I just took my 4th injection of Mounjaro on Monday 9th September and so far I have lost 1 stone! I lost it by my second week but nothing since then 😪. I was planning on staying on 2.5 Mounjaro for as long as possible as I have many saying that's the best thing to do? , I already have my next month's 2.5 injections so I'll see how it goes for the next month.
❤ Im a new subscriber and really loving your videos. I’m on my 2nd week of Wegovy and really find your videos so helpful and informative. Keep up the good work!
❤Thank you for the info, my doctor wants me to go to 5mg of Zepbound and I want to stay with the 2.5mg Zepbound I feel good and I like the idea of slowly losing my weight and I don’t have any side effects… but she keeps telling me I have to go up to 5 mg Zepbound..
I would stay on the low dose. Some people are “super -responders” or very sensitive to medication and low doses work for a year plus. I start next week and I will start with about 1/2 of the small dose for a while.
I’ve been on 2.5mg of Tirzepatide for three weeks with 1000mg of Metformin. I’ve shed 9lbs, already! My appetite is pretty much nonexistent and the amount of food that I find myself full at, is that of a toddler. I have also been struggling with some nausea after the first meal of the day. My doc prescribed Zofrane to help me work through it. 2.5mg is MORE than enough for me. I won’t be moving up in dose until my weightloss stalls or my appetite increases.
Pathetically for me, it was the only way I could lose weight, not having an appetite. That was the late 80s when diet pills flooded the market. I barely had an appetite and looked FANTASTIC 😂 but they took them all off the market due to ppl dying on them. I didn’t gain weight til I moved for someone and had a sit down job, I was in my early 30s, and once I gained it I was never able to lose that weight.
❤This is my first day starting this journey. I saw 1 video before this one, thanks for your advice I'm not going to go watch a million more videos and get stressed out. Also I'm interested in joining the facebook group. Where is the link for that?
Excellent video on my second week and I dropped 7 pounds already drink plenty of water. Make sure it's Luke warm or better off tea walk at least 10,000 steps a day.❤️❤️
im 61 a woman tried losing weight witin 3 yrs weight never shifted went to doctor 3 wks ago she told me im diabetic i asked for ozempic this is my 2nd wk on it i felt super hungry the other day ate a lot of food i didnt do it again i dont have breakfast only lunch and sometimes dinner doc told me after 4 wks i go to 1 mg im exercising eating healthy though feel a bit better too i have 5 repeats gonna stick to it til i reach my goal weight started at 123kg 3 yrs ago weighed myself 3 wks ago 120 kg was disappointed so ozempic is my last hope im a size 22/20 in clothes id be happy if i get down to a 16 i,l go off ozempic if i hit that and keep eating healthy walking an exercising so wish me luck
❤❤❤❤❤❤ so thankful for you! I just started this week and as you said…I was stressing out and driving myself crazy reading everything and trying to implement it all…I’m going to just take the simple route and keep doing keto and addressing anything as it comes. Thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it,y appreciate you.
Hi ! I’ve stopped mounjaro dor almost a month and I want to start again and I dont know if I should start with the 2.5 mg or to continue from where I were last month ! Thank you 🙏🏽
❤ I've just switched to Mounjaro from Ozempic after being on Ozempic for a couple of years. I've had a 2 week gap and am nervous that I will get GI distress from kind of starting over. Anyway, thanks for the information!!
Been on moanjaro for a month no ill effects not lost any weight . sleight loss of appetite ,some constipation but not serious but on 2.5% dose . Diabetic count is down to 13.5 was19.5 hope the 5% works a bit more.
So, what are you trying to say? 2.5mg is a starter dose, and is NOT theraputic? I don't think you made that quite clear! LOL. Just picking.....So far im on day 6, and i have lost 6.6 lbs and my blood glucose is amazing now! I could not get my numbers under control before. I was taking 150 units of Humulin r u500 in the am meal, and 130 in the pm meal. My sugar was down a lot from the original insulin i was taking, but still very bad and my sugars stayed up for hours after meals. It was crazy. right now about 2 hrs after dinner, my sugar is 138! Yay!
❤brand new here. Hi from Scotland. Going to catch up on your journey from start to finish. Very helpful. I start munjaro on Thursday . (31st October 2024) wish me luck 🎉
@ perfect!! Just did my first shot!! Thank you so much for responding your awesome! I’m going to try and chart any pointers Like when I start feeling any side affects ? Any appetite suppression ? But I do remember u saying I shouldn’t feel really much of them. I love your videos Very helpful!
I just got a 15 mg vial of tirzeptide and a bottle of bacteriostatic water. How much of the water do I put in the vial for 2.5 dosing? Thank you your video was great!
Same here my doctor started me on Zepbound and phentermine. I'm going on my third month taking phentermine. I just took my second injection of Zepbound 5 mg. Expecting my doctor to take me off the phentermine when I go back to see him the first of May.
❤ I've gone from 194 to 152 in 9 mos on the 2.5. I haven't had to titrate up, thankfully and now I'm doing a shot every month to lose the last 2 lbs and stay around 150-ish.
I find the 2.5 very effective for myself. Did you take the shot weekly?
@@cameliaminoiu967 I did for a month until I realized it was still working after 7 days and then I started doing the shot when the food noise started coming back and that worked like a charm.
Wow. Great!!
Stay on 2.5 as long as you can because 5.mg is not the best. I wish I stayed on 2.5mg because I had no appetite At All! But the 5mg I'm doing meditation, prayer, affirmations, etc to stay on course and fight the head hunger. Uggh. Just walking walking walking.
Do u not feel u could have not done the same thing with clean eating and exercise
❤ Been on 2.5 MG for 15 months and have gone from 225 to 140. I have been lucky that the dose does give me appetite suppression so far. I'm now more maintenance by taking shots further apart. Thank you!!
Do you rotate your injection spots ?
@@Lookwhostalk I do rotate, but don't keep track very well even though I should. I try to move it so that it has a better chance of working.
@@jennifertaylor4327I wonder if staying on the low dose means no risk of gastropariesis?
How do you your maintenance?
Do you have any sagging skin on the face or neck?

I was extremely edgy and irritable for 2-3 days following my very first dose of Mounjaro 2.5mg
I haven't had symptoms of PMS for many, many years.... I'm 58 and had total hysterectomy in 2016, no HRT after surgery.
I'm like a mood swing virgin again!
💜💜💜💜
Omg, that sounds scary, I already deal with pms.
Thanks for keeping it real! You are refreshing to watch. I just started week one but went into it doing tons of research. I hate the stigma that we are “taking the easy way out”. Lifestyle changes that you are not used to is NOT easy so I’m proud of myself for doing the walking, making smarter food choices, water drinking, and not ordering the pizza! Emptying out my bedside chocolate stash was difficult too! Anyway, I believe our prescribing providers should educate their pts on the importance of lifestyle modifications necessary for success on these meds. It takes a lot of work. There simply is no “magic shot”.
Hi…I’m a brand new subscriber… I started after COVID after teaching from home at 253… dropped to 185 at my lowest after Bariatric surgery ( the sleeve)… spent the past few years about at 190… decided with my weight loss doctor to try Zepbound… started in November? Last weigh in…178.8… I’m happy but still figuring out what I’m doing… I love your straight forward honest advice and manner. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks! 🎉🎉💕
Thanks for the video! I just picked up my first dosage and am ready to start my journey. I just need to now decide when to start! Looking forward to this! ❤
Thank you for sharing info on 2.5mg cause I haven't loss anything yet.
❤ I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and prescribed 2.5 mounjaro. I’ve been afraid to pick up the prescription because of possible side effects, but your video makes it seem less intimidating.
Thank you so much for explaining this. My doctor's office failed to explain.. Thanks again for sharing you're a dream saver.😊❤❤
I did 2.5 starting out. Went to 3 after a month. Not much weight loss in the beginning. Then it started to slowly come off. Then went to 3.5. Meh… 4 put me in the bed for 3 days with nausea and complete fatigue!!!! Went back to 3.5 for a couple weeks. Then 3 for a month. Back to 2.5 for a couple months. Still losing weight! I’m at my goal weight now and doing 1.5 a week. If that goes good, I’d like to do 1.0 a week. If the voices come back, I’ll up it again. But what sticks out during my journey is being sooooo tired all the time!!!!! Muscle loss and severe fatigue! But I started getting my energy back when I went down to 1.5 and I’m lifting weights again!! Yayyyy!!!! I’ve been on this journey 8 months and I’ve lost 30 pounds and I’m no longer pre diabetic!🙏👏
Week 3 of 2.5 mg! Worried about shortages as I’ll be asking my dr about moving to 5 mg next. I’ve definitely felt the effects of the appetite suppressants. Ive been eating healthier and walking 3-4 times/ week for 45mins- 1 hour. Only con /side effect is that I’ve noticed that I’ll have digestion issues after drinking alcohol/ mixed drinks.
How much weight have u lost so far?
I started on 2.5mg Mounjaro August 26th and lost 30 lbs. the first month. Now I'm down from 208 to 165 and it's still under 2 months since I started. It's amazing stuff. I am on the compounded version since insurance doesn't cover it, but it is definitely working!! I've had some nausea and weakness, but they kept me on 2.5mg since I'm losing weight so quick. I'm also doing Ruthless, which is a 20 minute workout program similar to Insanity with intense circuit training.
This is both my SW and GW. Did you stick on 2.5 the whole time? How did it feel losing what looks to be almost 5 pounds a week?
@@AZNGoSu I just got moved up to 5mg yesterday. So, since August 26th I've lost 45 lbs. now. I felt kind of weak losing the weight so quick, but I'm also on Phentermine twice a day which gives me some energy. I am on the super combo I guess you could say lol. I'm working out everyday for 20 minutes of intense interval circuit training. All bodyweight exercises. It's a program called Ruthless which is similar to Insanity. I'm eating around 1200 calories a day and keeping protein high. I only want to lose 20 more pounds and then maintain. I will probably try just taking the phentermine when I get to where I want to be as it is cheaper.
I am so happy to have found this video. I am getting ready to be on week four of my first month with mounjaro. You are explaining the very things I have been curious about being a newbie. Thank you for making it understandable. I may ask a bunch of questions so please bear with me. I would be grateful to you and your followers in answering what may be dumb questions to y’all. Thank you, thank all of you in advance and God Bless.
❤ I started 2.5 today
How you getting on with it I start Thursday 👍
Starting my first dose on Friday of 2.5 thanks for sharing
You’re going to do great!!
I will be starting Mounjaro soon. Thank you for this video ! ❤
♥️ I just took my last 2.5 shot of Zepbound. This was very helpful! Thanks!
❤ will you still be doing updates on your journey videos? Like how you are feeling, what you are eating and all that?
Yes! I’ll have an update on that this Friday
I was newly diagnosed with diabetes and am taking Mounjaro to lower my A1C. I am trying not to weigh myself or have expectations of weight loss because I've spent 60 years of diet-weight insanity and I'm getting off that train i will be surprised or not the next time I have to get on a scale.
Taking 1st dose today. Goal weight 128. Starting Gym this evening. Need to up water intake. I agree Dr told me the first 4 weeks is to get body use to it. She stresses I might lose 3 lbs. Trusting the process.
I started Mournjaro at 2.5mg, ti lower my A1c. I have taken 5 injectables, 5 weeks. I started at 176lbs I am now 155lbs. Appetite NONE. Nausea is only side effect. One hour before taking the injectable I take a Dramamine tablet(Nausea). I do not crave. sweets. If I try to eat something sweet it seems inedible to me. The sweetness is gross and nauseauating. It works well for me.❤
❤ insurance finally approved Zepbound for me and I will start soon. I am so thankful I found you and your channel ❤️
I’m so happy for you! Let us know if you’re able to get it filled easily!
Wow! What ins do you have. Mine won’t cover it at all
@@maryd7081 I have Cigna, they started coverage July 1st
Im on week one @ 2.5 on Zepbound and sadly so far I havent noticed a change in appetite and/or "food noise". I did start to diet regardless. I suspect I will need to increase BUT! Id rather start low and get my body used to it and then slowly increase. Hopefully something will kick on soon enough
❤ I’m in my second week of my Mounjaro journey and this video has been so helpful! Thank you so much xx
❤Brittany, Thank you for your posts. I have learned more info about using Zepbound as a weight loss tool. From you then I have from my Doctor. I’ve watched 3 of your videos and am much better informed to start taking my 5 mg dose tomorrow. I have behaved well all month and lost only 5 lbs. Now I know why. So now I am motived to tackle month two. ❤
FYI your to the point commentary is much appreciated. I have watched other people’s videos and quit because their whiny approach just turned me off. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks Beverly
❤ i just had my first jag yesterday- your videos are SO HELPFUL! Thank you ❤
❤ Thank you so much for this video! I’m now on week 2. I lost 4 pounds my first week!🎊🎉 I started out 224 I’m 5’2 and 50ish in age. I did start working out along with the shot. For the first week the first few days the appetite suppression was extreme! I wondered if I would want to eat ever again. 😂Then it tapered off days 4 - 7. However, I was then able to eat a normal meal and I didn’t want anything else. I agree with you. Take things slow, don’t expect to lose a bunch of weight in a month. Also, everyone is different. I’ve always hated the scale because it can be temperamental. I suggest weighing one a week and that’s all. Again thanks for sharing!❤
❤ Very helpful video - thank you. I just started ZepBound today hoping to lose between 40-50lbs. I appreciate your video
❤ Thanks for sharing this realistic info on mounjaro. I'm strongly considering this option to control my A1c and weight loss. I'm in research mode and this was very helpful.
❤ thank you for your positive encouragement!
❤ I'm just transitioning from Wegovy to Zepbound. I really like your video. It's just the right amount of info. I look forward to watching your other videos along my journey.
I'm in week one but I think my case is a little different since I had bariatric surgery five years ago this stuff is working amazing I'm not hungry and even when I get the hunger pains, I can look at food and not be interested. I'm actually eating back at the same portion size I used to eatwhen I first had my surgery and I'm loving it because I'm focused on other things besides but I can't wait to go to the higher doses.
Thanks for being honest and encouraging us!
❤️ just getting started so I’m really nervous. I’ve been the big guy pretty much my whole life.
You’re the best at keeping it real - thank you so much❤
❤ Glad I found you! You talk sense! I was watching someone else but wasn't long in discovering she was just all about selling etc! I just took my 4th injection of Mounjaro on Monday 9th September and so far I have lost 1 stone! I lost it by my second week but nothing since then 😪. I was planning on staying on 2.5 Mounjaro for as long as possible as I have many saying that's the best thing to do? , I already have my next month's 2.5 injections so I'll see how it goes for the next month.
❤️ just getting started. Your channel is awesome!!
I’ve watched nearly every one of ur videos… love them! ❤
❤❤thank u for info- straight up info that is helpful and real. I appreciate u❤
Stating today! Thank you for all the info! ❤
❤❤❤thankyou for your practical help. Just started my journey
❤ Im a new subscriber and really loving your videos. I’m on my 2nd week of Wegovy and really find your videos so helpful and informative. Keep up the good work!
❤Thank you for the info, my doctor wants me to go to 5mg of Zepbound and I want to stay with the 2.5mg Zepbound I feel good and I like the idea of slowly losing my weight and I don’t have any side effects… but she keeps telling me I have to go up to 5 mg Zepbound..
You dont have to go up. It can be low all the way thru grom what my doctor said.
I would stay on the low dose. Some people are “super -responders” or very sensitive to medication and low doses work for a year plus. I start next week and I will start with about 1/2 of the small dose for a while.
I’ve been on 2.5mg of Tirzepatide for three weeks with 1000mg of Metformin. I’ve shed 9lbs, already! My appetite is pretty much nonexistent and the amount of food that I find myself full at, is that of a toddler. I have also been struggling with some nausea after the first meal of the day. My doc prescribed Zofrane to help me work through it. 2.5mg is MORE than enough for me. I won’t be moving up in dose until my weightloss stalls or my appetite increases.
Pathetically for me, it was the only way I could lose weight, not having an appetite. That was the late 80s when diet pills flooded the market. I barely had an appetite and looked FANTASTIC 😂 but they took them all off the market due to ppl dying on them. I didn’t gain weight til I moved for someone and had a sit down job, I was in my early 30s, and once I gained it I was never able to lose that weight.
Love you! So inspiring! ❤
❤This is my first day starting this journey. I saw 1 video before this one, thanks for your advice I'm not going to go watch a million more videos and get stressed out. Also I'm interested in joining the facebook group. Where is the link for that?
Excellent video on my second week and I dropped 7 pounds already drink plenty of water. Make sure it's Luke warm or better off tea walk at least 10,000 steps a day.❤️❤️
Is tiredness normal in the first week. I’m only second day. 2.5mg . Extremely tired unusually for me. I’m never a napper.
Yes it’s normal..you’re adjusting to the meds
Yes, I was tired for sure.
I was exhausted and tired sleepy all day. Day 3 on 2.5 mg muonjaro
I’m on my 3rd week of 2.5. Good to know. Felt results are a little slow
I just finished one month at 2.5 and haven’t noticed anything. So they increased it to 5
Just got my first prescription today. Doctor first prescribed March 19th!!!!! Thank you for this!♥
I’m glad you were able to get your hands on in!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ so thankful for you! I just started this week and as you said…I was stressing out and driving myself crazy reading everything and trying to implement it all…I’m going to just take the simple route and keep doing keto and addressing anything as it comes. Thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it,y appreciate you.
Thank you so much for this video I just started my second week and needed to hear this. ❤
The low dose is working fine for me. I am using it as a too though as part of making positive diet and exercise changes.
You are so right about all the videos out there, they become very comercialized. Most of them want to sell something.
Great info!♥♥♥
Hi ! I’ve stopped mounjaro dor almost a month and I want to start again and I dont know if I should start with the 2.5 mg or to continue from where I were last month ! Thank you 🙏🏽
❤ I've just switched to Mounjaro from Ozempic after being on Ozempic for a couple of years. I've had a 2 week gap and am nervous that I will get GI distress from kind of starting over. Anyway, thanks for the information!!
Question....just started zepbound at 5mg. I am tired, had insomnia last night and mild consfant headache. Should i have started on 2.5mg?
Thank you for your honest information.
❤
Just began my journey. Will keep you updated.
Been on moanjaro for a month no ill effects not lost any weight . sleight loss of appetite ,some constipation but not serious but on 2.5% dose . Diabetic count is down to 13.5 was19.5 hope the 5% works a bit more.
So, what are you trying to say? 2.5mg is a starter dose, and is NOT theraputic? I don't think you made that quite clear! LOL. Just picking.....So far im on day 6, and i have lost 6.6 lbs and my blood glucose is amazing now! I could not get my numbers under control before. I was taking 150 units of Humulin r u500 in the am meal, and 130 in the pm meal. My sugar was down a lot from the original insulin i was taking, but still very bad and my sugars stayed up for hours after meals. It was crazy. right now about 2 hrs after dinner, my sugar is 138! Yay!
❤brand new here. Hi from Scotland. Going to catch up on your journey from start to finish. Very helpful. I start munjaro on Thursday . (31st October 2024) wish me luck 🎉
❤ starting my journey today!!! Just curious what time of day I should start today ??? Any tips
In the beginning of my journey I took my shots at night, to help “avoid” side effects by sleeping through them
@ perfect!! Just did my first shot!! Thank you so much for responding your awesome!
I’m going to try and chart any pointers
Like when I start feeling any side affects ?
Any appetite suppression ? But I do remember u saying I shouldn’t feel really much of them. I love your videos
Very helpful!
I just got a 15 mg vial of tirzeptide and a bottle of bacteriostatic water. How much of the water do I put in the vial for 2.5 dosing? Thank you your video was great!
❤ great info, I'm starting Zepbound soon.
Same here my doctor started me on Zepbound and phentermine. I'm going on my third month taking phentermine. I just took my second injection of Zepbound 5 mg. Expecting my doctor to take me off the phentermine when I go back to see him the first of May.
