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!
How do you determine your weight loss goal? I was obese most of my adult life until losing 120lbs through Atkins 20 years ago. I maintained until hormones (thyroid and menopause) plus the closed gym of Covid aided my gain of 50lbs. I've been losing well on semaglutide and am down 43lbs. My original Goal was to get to…
I like the premise of this group very much but I wish there was greater participation!!!! Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of negativity and judgement in the fitness world regarding the use of GIP/GLP-1 and GLP-1. This could be a great place (and a safe place) to chat about our ups and downs on this journey.…
I recently had my dosage increased from 2.5 to 5 on Zepbound. While the amount of food I can consume remains lower than before I noticed that the food noise has returned. Before I was not interested in food and had to force myself to eat. Now I’m interested in everything I see but the amount I can eat is still greatly…
Good morning! I am about to head in and take my very first dose, and I am nervous! I have never really taken meds other than pain and some depression meds. I feel hopeful and understand there is a long road but here we go! If anyone has information, advise or ideas, I am open to hearing you. Wishing you all the best and a…
I’m struggling to meet my protein and my calorie goals. I would absolutely love some high protein snack ideas. My current go-to’s are yogurt with added fruit (activia with blueberries) or mixed nuts (almond, cashew and walnut pieces with raisins) which is good but I’m getting lacking in variety, no imagination!
I am a 63 year old female struggling with obesity since 2015. Having a desk job is no joke when I did not change eating habits! I am taking my second dose of Zepbound today. Constipation has been my only side effect. Not sure if I am losing to fast because of the medication or because of the drastic change in eating…
Hi all! I’m looking for some friends to help me on this journey. I am on my 6th week using oral semaglutide through Henry Meds. So far, no side effects and 11.6 pounds down. I do get some food noise but I’m pushing through it. I would love to lose without some hunger but I’m not wanting side effects so I think I will stay…
Official response from TSA: Injectable meds are allowed in carry-on bags. Pls watch: https://bit.ly/3bBJCQG Ice packs used to keep food cold are also allowed in carry-on bags but must be frozen solid when presented for screening. If not, they must follow our liquids rule of 3.4 ounces or less. They must be placed in one…
Hi--I joined MFP at a friend's suggestion, as I picked up my first-ever Zepbound prescription this afternoon. Will take first dose tonight, 2.5mg. Am nervous about side effects but have been reading up on keeping water/liquid going as well as protein to counteract them. Anyone have tips for how to start and limit/stave off…
I’m curious about anyone’s experience with online weight loss providers. I’m currently seeing a clinic that offers compounded tirzepatide, but they are increasing prices soon. It’s already very expensive and it’s about to be even more expensive, so I’ve been considering an online provider. Ro, Hers, Readymed, Mochi,…
