Join today! Lets have this group for our own unique issues ( actually the same weight loss issue) while getting the help of the newer weight loss drugs. Don't be "Ozempic shamed" just because you are availing your self of a little or ALOT of Medical help!

Eli Lilly just got a new tirzepatide drug, Zepbound, approved for weightloss use. It is apparently the same or similar to Mounjaro which was approved for Diabetes use, but has excellant weight loss effects. This should help alleviate the Mounjaro shortages.4

Hellooooo I am on Mounjaro starting my 6th week on Monday and I've never been happier! As you said above there is a bit or a lot of quiet shaming like:
I don't like to use drugs to lose weight...my answer "thats great for you!"
It's okay as long as you stay healthy... my answer "I agree"
I have learned that people are either fearful or ignorant to what the drug is and its not up to me to educate them. They usually care about you. I don't get into a debate I just validate their feelings because I have to do what is best for me with the recomendations of my doctor.

Ilene, That's what I feel too. My "drug use" is only for the help in losing while I build good habits for the rest of my life. After all, I don't expect to be on Mounjaro or similar for the rest of my life. I lost 25 - 30 pounds a couple years ago and didn't gain it back, now I just need a good start for the next 50 (20 is done already).

I just got approved for Zepbound, though I haven't started yet. I spent the last holiday week closely looking at foods to determine new meal combos that amp up my protein intake, but keep me in my ultimate calorie goal range 1200-1300. I've also added in a protein drink recommended by my practioner. Holiday week calorie ranges were much better than in the past, but above where I need to be. I'm hoping to drop 25 lbs to my initial GW. When successful, UGW is another 10 after that if that seems wise.2

Is this group still active? Is there an active group for MJ or Zepbound users? Thanks2

I just started looking, but not so familiar with the community stuff yet. Been on Zep since beginning of January, and down 21 lbs as of today.2

Hello all. I'm at 295 days, 42 weeks, and am now down about 50 lbs. All my numbers, No more diabetes, Normal cholesterol ( After having extremely high numbers my whole life ) and Blood pressure averaging 125 -128 over 72 - 74 evevery day for weeks. I've gone from 44 pants size to 36. Nearly at my goal now, I should be there by the next two months or 1 year of Monjaro! I hope you are all doing well also. Keep the faith!
