Great video. I have only been thinking about when I take the shots in relation to the side effects. Best time for shot is Friday mornings. I work renote on that day and I have the weekend to deal with any side effects🎉. I started on Zepbound in Jan '24 at 2.5 for one month. I was on 5.O for 4 months then due to the shortage was off for one month. I was able to get 5.0 end of May. My doctor wanted me to go to 7.5 which I finally was able to get recentjy and will start soon. I have lost 35 lbs to date. Thank you and God bless you for your videos. I have felt supported through this journey.🥰
On my 5th week of 2.5mg compound tirzepatide. Have lost 8.5lbs so far. I have been taking the shot on Mondays around 1pm. Very few side effects to date. Makes it so much easier to make better food choices! Now to add more activities to my life!⏰️
I take mine on Thursday evenings around 6pm. Fridays are my lightest day work-wise so if I have symptoms its easier to be less productive that day. Also I have the greatest appetite suppression over the weekend when my schedule is less predictable and we tend to eat out more - so it helps me self moderate better. ⏰
You're extremely informative and intelligent. You answered all my questions and curiosities in this one video out of the dozens of videos I have watched. Thank you for providing all this information. I appreciate you.
I've only been on compounded Tirzepatide and the earliest i've taken my dose was maybe 2pm. I'm pretty much a late afternoon to early evening 'doser'. Just took my dose #7 of 2.5 at 5pm. My compounded Tirzepatide is great ... if I never get Zepbound or Mounjaro cost covered I won't break a sweat about it anymore. And if I ever get it and the cost is over $300 i'll just stick to compound. I'm only on 2.5mg and it's actually strong enough I don't plan on moving up until about 5 more weeks and even then probably only up to 3.5mg. Control of your meds in a vial vs a pen is amazing.
⏰I do best at night. When I wake up the next morning the appetite suppression is perfect! Thanks for the conversation on rotating injection sites. It has made a huge difference in side effects and weight loss! Thanks for these videos. I’ve learned so much, tried so many great products and received motivation. Thank you!!
🕛...thx Elizabeth! I take my shot on Saturday at 10-11 am. Still having a lot of nausea on the 5mg, so it gives me the weekend to get through those 1st couple of days! 🙌🏻
⏰ thanks again for a great video. 💜Based on previous videos you remind me to change injection location-I had only done abdominal ‘clock’. Switched to thigh last week and wow!-no fatigue, nausea! Thanks for motivating those of us many months behind you! (Starting Week 8 -15lbs for me). Bless you!!
⏰️ thanks dear. I'm titrating to 5.0 Zepbound starting Monday so I will be keeping track for any side effects. I didn't have any with 2.5. Good job on your weight loss. I pray for your strength to keep sharing with us.
⏰ I completely agree with staying at the lower dose as long as possible and really working on healthy habits. I’m on 5 now and I pray I can stay on it for three more months (supply willing).
Been taking Zepbound since March 29, did 2 months at 2.5, and now on 5.0, I was able to get 5.0, so I'll start my second month on 5.0 tomorrow. So happy I have this medication. I'm down about 18 lbs on Zepbound. I have changed my eating habits a lot but could improve. I have a hard time getting my veggies and protein in.
I’m so glad that you mentioned that you have hypothyroidism, I do too and am under my Drs. care. Zepbound has been so helpful and a i look forward to watching you daily. Thank you for your help and encouragement, and congratulations on your progress! I’ve been looking for your earlier videos to watch from the top, you’re so helpful! This was great to see tonight, Friday’s my day and I’ll pay attention to figure out best timing
Hi, Elizabeth that is exactly my routine in the morning. I prefer to take it Thursday morning and by dinner I am stuffed at half my meal. I go with Thursday so I can get through my weekend easily as weekends are the hardest time to manage food. That is my best routine. ⏲⏲⏲⏲⏲💉⏲⏲⏲⏲⏲~ Best regards Peter
⏰ I just took my shot yesterday and did above my belly button for the first time and the appetite suppression is intense! I usually don’t feel any suppression for a few days but this was immediate. I definitely welcome the suppression and some light nausea but I just don’t have the time for diarrhea 😂
⏰ I’d never even thought about changing the time I take my shot or tracking things to figure out a different time to take it. Thanks for all the great ideas!
⏰ Took my first AM dose this week and the appetite suppression was on point for two full days! It was my first time experiencing appetite suppression like that on these drugs. Definitely my new go-to
🕰️I take my shots in the morning on Wednesday. I do use you side effect tracker and alternate injection sites. Off to low the lawn to get those steps in. 👍🏻
⏰ I’ve been taking mine on Tuesday evenings but after listening to your reasons for taking it in the morning that seems to make a lot of sense to me so I will try that. You are such an inspiration Elizabeth! Thank you
⏰🕐. Played golf today. Currently take on Sundays, just for convenience. Have always administered in/around belly…think I will try thigh to see if more effective
I've been taking mine on Fridays at 3:00 ⏰️, because I wanted to have the highest level of appetite suppression over the weekend as that's when I'm more likely to make unhealthy food choices in social situations.
🕰️ Mondays at 9:30 am. I’m on week 3 of 25 units. I haven’t had any side effects and I’ve lost 13lbs. I have appetite suppression through the week shot to shot so far. I eat chicken and veggies for dinner and usually snack on blueberries and crackers throughout the day but not to excess. Before I started the compound I ate the same except I had a sweet tooth. So far I’ve beeen able to keep that at a moderate level with maybe a bite of something sweet maybe once a week if that.
⏰ love this video. ❤ used to take it in evening to help w side affects. But I’ve had less & less side effects. And I started taking it in morning to have more advantage of appetite suppression too!
⏰️ I usually do my mounjaro injection around 8 am on Saturdays. My reasoning for this is...I will 65 y.o. in November and I watch my 19 month old grandson 2 to 3 days a week. I chose Saturday mornings in hopes of being past any bad side effects by the time I have him with me. So far side effects have been minimal. After having been on metformin for several years in the past, this is nothing by comparison.😁
⏰️ I track in my note file on my phone. I usually take my shot before bed. This last week I took it during the day. I followed intuition. I wanted to see how long the fatigue would last. I got the fatigue an hour after I took It and lasted until I slept. I think I may just keep my bedtime shot routine. :) I work nights, so my shot is usually taken at 4am just before my days off. I don't get too much of the other symptoms so long as I keep my fiber, protein, and water. But I also don't really get the "full" factor much. But I do still have appetite suppression. I can still eat smaller portions but I do have to be mindful of my portions. But I am happy to have this medication to help me get here! I am gonna finish declutterling my bedroom and maybe my kitchen for my movement today. :) --one of your last videos, I was already declutterling prior to that video, but yes!! 😂 Sending love and positivity!
⏰️⏰️good info. today! I'm taking my 4th shot today and just picked up another months worth of 2 .5. I'm down 8.4 lbs. in 3 weeks, so I think I'll stick to this dosage for another month, although I have noticed that I'm a bit more hungry at day 5.
I am in week 3 compound at 3 ml. Thank you so much for all the videos, the free checklists, free meal ideas. Going to track the side effects and appetite suppression.
⏰ I think I’m opposite than some. I don’t like having the side effects on the weekend when I’m cooking for my family and socializing with friends and out to dinner and having a glass of wine. I don’t want to be sick to my stomach. I’m trying to switch to Sunday and see how that works for me. Good video. Thanks.
Newbie’s please track your food. I’m not saying weighing or calories. I’m saying you need to know what you’re eating and drinking and then look at your side effects. I also have woken up to have diarrhea. I have 🤮. But once I started tracking. I saw if you eat that you’re gonna pay for it. For me it processed foods, overly greasy foods and anything carbonated. Good luck. I am almost 9 months in and 75 pounds down. I almost never have side effects. Also I stop eating hours before I do my shot or for me I get nausea
I just read one guy stopped for 2 to 3 months to let his body heal? He said he started all over starting at 5mg and still had over 60 pounds to lose and said it was just like when he started the 1st time on Mounjaro. Something to think about everyone. Continue to get your meds so you will have some extra in the fridge while your off for 1 to 3 month break. You can also see if you can not gain it back. Good luck 25 days Mounjaro is completely iut of your system just figure 30 days your good.
Since the start I’ve always taken mine Friday evenings around 6pm, the main side effect I get is fatigue the first few days and I rather deal with that during the weekend instead of during the week when I’m in the office. ⏰⏰⏰
🏠🏠🏠 I don't know why, but I have not had any problems getting my mounjaro. I am glad that the shortage will come to an end next year for all of you who are having a hard time getting it. I just went up to 10mg, and I didn't have to wait at all. The fear of not getting my medication is still constantly on my mind though!
I want the side effects as well. I’m on MJ and I start my 5th shot tomorrow, I’m doing one more month on 2.5 before going to 5. I’ve lost 13 lbs but I can’t tell yet. I need to buy the smart tape measure lol. I pay out of pocket so my “allowance” is spent. ⏰ I take mine in the morning.
⏰ ... Another great video, I love to watch you each day, it really keeps me motivated and on track 🥰 I do have a question that I'd love to understand a little more, excuse my ignorance. If you no longer feel appetite suppression, why do you continue with the medication? I know there'll be a reason that makes sense, I'm just curious to understand ❤️🇬🇧
⏰🕰️⏰ thank you. I am being successful on 5 and am hoping to stay here as long as I can!! I take my shot in the mornings so I hopefully will start suppression by dinner or the following morning!
I am on 5mg Tirzepitide w/ vit b12 & Glycine, I have not had much side effects. I usually feel super tired and day 2 or 3 and increase belching some days. I saw Onederland this AM for the 1st time! I have been taking injections midday.
🕰⏲I'd like to take my shot earlier in the day -- but I usually end up getting busy and then its 8pm and my alarm goes off for my shot. I don't have side effects so don't think time of day really matters. The appetite suppression does not hit until a day or so later.
⏰My best time is so far noon on a Friday because I sleep through the side effects and don't want to eat for the weekends which is nice. Today is Thursday and I had a Sonic hamburger. I hadn't had one in weeks and weeks and I wanted a treat. I average 5000+ steps every day so I figured I was ok for one treat. Thigh works really well for me and I have two thighs so I can switch them out but I'm starting to get curious about the other injection sites.
So what do u do after u get a higher dose and that stops working? Not trying to be a Debbie downer but I’m thinking about my self as well. I’m on the lowest dose right now and it’s working for me. I’ll be going up on my dose after 3 months. Slow slow slow….hopefully this will get figured out for all of us. Thanks countess, u look beautiful
Not a popular opinion but consider adding a non-GLP appetite suppressant like Tesofensine if you ever max out on Tirz. But the goal is not to race to the highest dose of Tirzepatide. edit: i'm on 2.5mg and it's working for me too....I did #7 of 2.5 on the 20th and will spend 5 more weeks at 2.5mg before I move up and I'm most likely only going to move up to 3.5mg and try to stay there as long as possible before going to 5mg. I love the control of the vial vs a pen.
🕰 Thank you for all the info always! i've learned so much prior to starting and now that I've FINALLY started. I took my first one at 1PM and it treated me well. I may swap sides tomorrow for my next and see what happens.
🕟 I take my shot between 5 and 5:30 on Monday. It keeps me from getting hungry for dinner. I am intermittent fasting 4 to 5 days a week. I eat breakfast at 5 am, a late lunch around 1 pm. The afternoon was my downfall. Now I’m coasting through like I am on cloud 9! I worked in my flower garden today for 30 minutes.
🕰 Thank you so much for all your research. I have been on Tirzeptide since March 1, 2024 and as of June 15th have only lost 10 pounds in 3 1/2 months. I have titrated up to 7.5 now and I am hoping to see the scale move a bit more. I have had 0 side effects so far, although I occasionally get full. Hoping this is the dose that helps me lost a bit more quickly. I understand slow weight loss is the best, but I just dont think I was a a high enough dose for me yet. Thank you for reminding me about the tracker. adn explaining the time to take the shot. I appreciate you and your sweet family. Praying for you all as well. Keep sharing! Oh BTW - I love the BIOptimizers Magnesium breakthrough, my sleep has improved greatly. My bowel movements are normal and no more leg cramps, those were fierce and interrupting my sleep. I really want to try the Protein Breakthrough next.
⏰️ 🕑 HI Elizabeth ,I'm moving more trying to ride my bike and keep counting calories otherwise I feel like I'm stuck in same weight 🙃 but as long as I'm not gaining I'm ok .I put my injection on Monday around 7:30pm to sleep through any bloating 😊
One of the videos I watched of yours had a wonderful high protein, it had chic peas and others things but I can’t remember which video or the complete recipe. If you can post it or send it to me that would be great! Shannon
⏰⏱️🕰️I take my shot 5:30 am every Friday morning. I’ve been doing them in my arm seems more successful for me. My weekends aren’t spent with the food noise. Still positive with Covid right now so everything is on pause for me. Lost 2 pounds this week without even trying. Drinking my LMNT. Keep up the amazing work folks! ⏰⏱️🕰️
Hi Elizabeth. Another great video as usual. My biggest side effect is extreme exhaustion two days in a row after the injection. I take a multivitamin every day and also B12 gummies, but the exhaustion is all too real. I am on Mounjaro 7.5 mg. … Blood sugar numbers are great, exhaustion not so much. Love you by the way. 💕⏰
Friday early evening for me. Just in case now for side effects, but mostly to handle appetite suppression on the weekends. Can also get in more rest because ZB shot makes me a little tired.
The only time I increase my dose is when I can’t control the cravings and head hunger in the early days after injection. I’ve been on 8 months and only half way to maximum dose.⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰
I start my first dose of 5 mg tomorrow after 4 weeks of 2.5 I take mine Friday at 4:30 so far has worked for me. The real test will be after I ti trade up tomorrow, keep good thoughts for me please.
⏰ I'm now considering changing my shot to before bed. I was taking in the afternoon because I have other medications in the morning and at bed time. I know thyroid medication says to wait 4 hours before taking other meds. But my bedtime meds don't have any qualifiers like that. So, it should be OK, right?
Can you change your injection day I started Wednesdays but want to do Fridays is it ok to wait 2 more days & start on Fridays ? Anyone’s advice would be helpful. Thank you
So what is the word on how long will these Mounjaro 2.5 thru 15mg last and still work. They say 4 weeks and i know everyone is diffrent and there not going to tell you Ely Lilly oh yeah 1 to 2 years not. That's why they dont say. I have heard on the higher doses you wìll lose more weight witch depends on the person. One person whas a good reponder and was on 2.5 for a hole year, so go figure
🕰On 2.5mg I had the thought, "Well, if I don't feel like eating, I might as well eat what I know works for me to lose weight." (And was never sustainable before.) I started my injections at night, then read that morning was better. On 2.5 & 5mg, it didn't matter. Then I titrated up too fast & got tachycardia with my 2nd 10mg dose. I'm trying to titrate up now with splitting the dose so I don't have as much hit my system at once (with my PCM's approval). I do still get shaky for a few hours after the shot, even though all my stats are good, so I've started taking the shot at bedtime again
I have another question to ask. Even after you take the injection and you eat when you’re not hungry but when you do eat and you gain like one or 2 pounds back is that bad? Does that mean the medicine isn’t working on you anymore?
I have a question to ask you and I don’t know if or when you will see this. I’m having a little issue with the as far as eating goes… If I’m not hungry, why should I eat? I’m so afraid that if I eat, I’m gonna gain another pound and I’ll go one or 2 pounds backwards Only to wait patiently and walk and do the things I do to go back to the original way I was. So should you eat if you’re not hungry?
For me, balance. And being mindful when too little for too long. I personally ride the wave. Later days after shot, I get hungry then and eat more. But day 1/2 for me, I ride that 🌊 wave!
