I like your tortoise concept! I have a lot to lose so I’m trying a new lifestyle more than being on a “diet” that will change a lot after I lose weight. It’s not exactly easy but I don’t feel too deprived or can’t wait for my cheat day like some of my past diets. Slow and steady wins the race!

Saying hi, I started 3.5 weeks ago, have around 75 pounds to lose. At one point, via crazy restrictive diets I had got down to only 20 left, and rebounded badly. Also need to treat this as a lifestyle long term change, as I know any major restrictive mindset will ultimately cause me to rebound. I'm on Tirzepatide, only on 2.5 for the first 4 weeks, next week I'm up to 5 but already feel significantly less hungry and have lost 7.5 pounds so far. Would love some friends requests and will request above people. Good luck!

Hi everyone,

I just had my fourth dose of Terzepitide (Mounjaro compound) today so I've been on it about 3 weeks. I've lost about 9 lbs, started out quick (6 lbs the first week) and then slowed a bit, hit a stall this last week or so but next week I'll start an increased dose so I hope that helps a bit. I'm 42 years old 5'6" 255 lbs so I have at least 70 lbs to lose and then I'll re-assess. I've been overweight my entire life so I don't know at what weight I feel and look my best so we'll see.

This medication has drastically changed the amount of food I eat. I have been luckly so far on the initial dose and haven't had any weird reactions other than a bit of constipation and bloating but no food aversions or nausea or anything like that. I still get hungry every 2-3 hours but as soon as I start eating, I am satisfied and feel full very quickly and the amount of food I consume has been halved. I'm trying to concentrate on protein and fiber first but I'm not limiting any foods necessarily but trying to stay around 1200-1400 calories.
