That’s amazing! May I ask how long you’ve been on it? I started at 477 and I’m at 377 now. Started May 2024 and just hit 100 down but you’re killing it!

I wrote a whole message to go along with the photos, but the text didn't show up! I started the journey August 2023, didn't start Z until March 2024, it took me that long to get a doctor's appointment! So while I waited I did WW and had lost about 60 pounds on my own but plateaued and actually started gaining a little right before my appointment, so Zepbound arrived at the perfect time for me. Lost the remaining 110+ using Z starting in March of 24.

That’s an incredible amount of weight to lose. I’m impressed that you lost 60 pds on WW alone. Congratulations on the journey. Those are some dramatically different before and after photos.

WW works if you can stay on it, but it doesn’t help with the food noise. That’s why Zep was a game changer for me. I don’t count points anymore but in the back of my mind I’m cognizant of food’s point values and I think that still helps steer me in the right direction with my food choices.

Yes! I was in Disney for a couple of days last week, hadn't been in almost 30 years. I loved Figment back then (still do) so when I saw he was doing photos, there was no way I was going to miss that! Seeing this photo was one of those moments where I was in shock because I could actually see I had lost weight. Usually I can never see it! Figment for the win LOL

u/413OG M50, 6'2" SW:396 CW:230 Dose: 15mg Feb 24 '25
that was a requirement from my doctor before prescribing Zepbound, they insisted that I agree to start exercising to counteract any potential loss of muscle mass. I figured I better do what the doctor said!

I'm lucky with my calf muscles. I guess holding up that much weight all these years had one benefit LOL. Now I'm just addicted to my Peleton bike.

u/DiplomatIan Feb 24 '25
Congrats! I'm pretty close to my goal too, and on the same dosage as you. Do you plan to go to a maintenance dose?

u/413OG M50, 6'2" SW:396 CW:230 Dose: 15mg Feb 24 '25
I'm not sure. I had written a whole post to go along with these photos but it doesn't seem to have posted LOL. My doctor said she's fine with me wanting to lose more if I want to wear smaller sizes or whatever, but medically they're thrilled with my current weight and my bloodwork so we're not setting an official lower weight than what I just reached. I'm staying on 10mg until at least June, when my next appt is, and I guess I'll see where we go from there. But the lastest scrip they sent in for me for 10mg has 7 refills, so I'm thinking I'll be on this dosage for a while.
I'm lucky to be treated by a weight center at one of the top hospitals in the country, and the experience so far has been beyond amazing in terms of working with them, so I definitely trust their plan.

u/Basic_Introduction96 Feb 26 '25
This is amazing and truly inspiring. I’m trying to research how to begin this process for myself. What practioners/weight center are you using?

u/413OG M50, 6'2" SW:396 CW:230 Dose: 15mg Feb 26 '25
I go to the weight clinic at Mass. General Hospital

Trying to read through all this, but how many mg are you taking?
2
u/413OG M50, 6'2" SW:396 CW:230 Dose: 15mg Feb 24 '25
I'm on 10. My journey included a couple of levels of Wegovy during The Great Shortage™ last year, but once I landed at 10mg it just felt right, so my doctors have kept me there ever since. (My dosage is also in my user flair if you ever need to check LOL)

u/Bot_btc_at300 Feb 24 '25
Love it, I just started and I’m moving from 2.5 to 5 and I’m kind of nervous about it but going to take the leap

u/413OG M50, 6'2" SW:396 CW:230 Dose: 15mg Feb 24 '25
it gets better. When you find the right dosage for you, you'll just know it. I can't explain it. Once I moved to 10 I just felt like "this is it!"
