Tirzepatide Compound
I started 2.5mg tirzepatide compound on May 28. At that time, I weighed 209lbs. This morning, I weighed 195lbs. 14 lbs weight loss in 2 weeks! I think it’s so much because I’ve cut out pepsi (I’d drink 3-4 a day), increased my water intake and cut down on my sodium. I’m eating around 1400-1500 calories a day and light…

So glad I found this group!
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…

Goals
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…

Let’s chat!
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.…

Dosage increase
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…

High protein/low fat snack ideas
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!

Hello
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…

Providers of Compounded Tirzepatide/Semiglutide
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,…

4th week in Semaglutide
Hi. 4th week on semaglutide. No major side effects- mostly tired. Lost a few pounds. I have over 100 pounds to lose. Not following a strict diet or I think I will fail. I am treating this like a life style change not a diet. Smaller meals, fewer snacks and increased exercise. Less carbs more quality protein. I am not as…

Hi! Last night was my first shot of compounded semaglutide. I did it in my belly, and as of now I have no side effects. I need to lose about 60-70lbs.

Started taking compound Tirzepatide on 5/3/24 ~ 0.125 mil
5/3/24 started compound Tirzepatide at 0.125 mil. I move up to 5 mil on 5/31/24. I am trying 16 hours fasting with 8 hours of eating as well. I noticed the meds make me get up to go pee a lot. I try to quit drinking large quantities of water after 7 pm. High fat definitely makes me have uncomfortable consequences. I didn't…

strugging to eat enough
Hi all- I'm new to Zepbound, only on day 4 of my first 2.5 injection. And my word, it's working. No interest in snacking, can only eat very small portions. After (many) years of yo-yo dieting, this is the first time I can say that I'm struggling to eat enough food. I've used MFP for years off and on while trying to lose…

Rick's info
I've been on Mounjaro for about 3 and a half months and have lost a steady couple pounds a week. 20 pounds total. I came to the conclusion I needed to exercise more to continue, but that came to a temporary halt when I got Covid for a week. I lost 3 pounds but gained back 5 or 6 from not doing anything that week. In spite…
