I was on 2.5 mg for 4 weeks, now 5 mg for 9 weeks, started my stationary exercise bike two weeks ago everyday for 30 minutes. Have lost 34.3# effective today. I document my food intake and protein. In the very beginning I was slightly nauseated for a couple of days. I make sure to eat foods that’s naturally make keep me regular. No more side effects. The 5 mg is continuing to be very effective and no food chatter, so I will continue it as long as it remains effective. I am also going to start a daily vitamin. Thanks all and good luck 😃
I got the GEM because of you and I love it. I don’t have to worry about stomach pain vitamins make me feel. My GEM is a treat each morning- LOVE THE TASTE AND TEXTURE! Thank you I too do not feel the fatigue anymore. I am not gonna titrate fast. Gonna stay on 5 as long as I can. Am losing slow but steady - very slow but ok with that
🍽️. Was on Mounjaro 2.5mg for 15 weeks. Did really well, loss 38lbs. Moved to 5mg when the food noise was getting hard to handle. 4 weeks on 5mg, total loss 47lbs (19 weeks). Did some exercise this morning, going to do some strength exercise later today.
I am so thankful my doctor is a one stop shop for all of this. Not only is there a doctor, there is a nutritionist to check in with my eating and there is a psychologist I meet with to talk about this major lifestyle change and reframe my thoughts about food. I am a believer of all three in conjunction with each other because they all are related. I would say getting those (even if they are not in the same place) and having regular check ins has really helped with this adjustment. We got this!
🍽️ I watch a lot I just never really comment. But I just had to tell you that you look amazing. I am 20 lbs from my goal weight I have been on zepboumd 5 mg since February ❤
I love every video that you post. I am on my 4th week 2.5ml. Down 10lbs. Thank you for all the information that you share. I greatly appreciate it. A little country boy from VA.
🍽️ thank you again for sharing your journey. I have my second 2.5 injection this Thursday. I was concerned that my DR wrote my 2.5 Rx for 3 months but now I’m excited!
I just injected my first 5mgs today a few hours ago. The last 2 weeks of 2.5 appetite and food noise suppression was, non existent. Four weeks of 2.5 dropped 5lbs. Hoping 5 mgs is the long term sweet shot. Perfect timing for your video. 🍽 Thanks!!
I have been on 5mg Zepbound for 4 weeks, and so was debating moving up to 7.5mg after reading the Zepbound guide. It seems like Lilly is sugesting you titrate up every 4 weeks, so I went back and looked up this older video. Your channel is a wealth of information that i find usefull in conjunction with advice from my doctor and medical literature. My Doctor agrees I should stay on 5mg a while longer. Thank you very much for sharing your insights. :) 🍽 Have you ever thought about writting a book, if you have not already done so?
🍽 I’m on 5mg mounjaro the first time I’ve had nausea really bad yesterday. I was gaining weight why because I wasn’t eating enough food. Now I’m tracking my food and I lost 5 pounds. It’s hard to eat when I’m not hungry.
🍽️ I have made it a priority to track my protein daily and notice how different proteins make my tummy feel. I have been on 5mg Mounjaro for 4 mos now. When I hit a stall, I increase movement… so far it’s working great
🍽🍽🍽 I'm going to go for a walk during my lunch hour...even if it's raining here in the 🇬🇧 absolutely love your videos, they really give me support and encouragement!
🍽 Thanks, Elizabeth!! Your energy and dedication motivate me. Doing light weights while on the vibration plate. So nice the Count is getting more involved! Have a beautiful day!! 🥰
I have taken your advice to heart about not moving to the next strength too quickly. My NP is adamant that I move up to 5.0 zepbound after the first month on 2.5. But she also feels I will be staying on this strength until I am no longer losing at least 4 lbs per month . I have 125 lbs to lose and like you, I'm wanting to do it slow and steady. Thankfully I'm not having any negative side effects. I just want to thank you for sharing your info on this subject. You are truly a blessing.🍽️
I just started set down on Wednesday Thursday Friday. I am not feeling well. I feel very nauseous and constipated and I’m sleeping all the time. I’m on the 5 mg. I’m going to take you up on your suggestions of eating more protein so I’ve been eating Greek yogurt. 🍴 wish me the best. Thank you for all your suggestion.
Love all the great suggestions you have helped me get on tract from day 1. I will be on week 5 starting on next dose 5mg mounjaro Have not weighed myself but am loosing and exercising feel so much better thank you for tge encouragement you're amazing!😂
I don’t think it totally has to do with side effects whether or not to move up - everyone is different :) I had terrible side effects with 5mg when I moved to 7.5 - the side effects went away! - so interesting lol
Well, that can happen… but it seems to be pretty rare. 🤷🏼♂️ IOW, if someone was currently having *bad* side effects on a particular dose, probably the LAST thing their doctor would recommend is to titrate up. 👩⚕️ Just sayin’. But happy it worked out for you. 👍
@@cloakster I totally understand….but it’s kind of a catch 22. Since every dose can have a different effect. You also have to measure the type of side effects - are they manageable? I stood on that dose until I was able to recognize what I needed to do to manage them - then I titrated up. Now they didn’t go away I just made sure to do what I needed to do so I didn’t feel like complete crap. I totally went into 7.5 freaking out - but then I didn’t have the same effects.
I’m so proud of you for taking control of the vitamin intake. I’m just NOW getting to a point where I’m taking it into consideration. You are the MAMA of GLP-1 maintenance.
🍽...great show, Elizabeth! Love the advice & info you've learned! Stayed on 5mg for 2 months & going to start on 7.5mg soon. Planning to stay on 7.5mg for 2-3 months at least, depending on how I do! 👍🏻
🍴You are helping me with every video. I use my Zaaz vibration plate daily to keep me moving. The summer heat is not my friend. But I lost 1.6 lbs this week. A big win! Thanks for all you do!
🍽 thanks as always for sharing what works best for you and your journey. Definitely helps hearing in my first month of my journey. I try to catch your videos daily as they always give me more pep in my step. There are definitely lots of influencers out there, but you just come across with lots of charisma, and your passion for wanting to help people is amazing. You definitely have a besties vibe ❤ Thanks!!
🍽️ 🍴weightlifting this morning and water aerobics this evening. A nice salmon fillet for dinner cooked to perfection in my air fryer. Thanks for all you do.
🍽️ On a business trip but I decided to bike for 30 minutes and walk for 30 minutes. So while I did not get to my 10K in septs I worked out my body and I’m giving myself grace to be ok with that. Countess can you share some recipes for protein shakes? I just got the Biocare. I’m in a business trip but can’t wait to try it.
🍴Thanks for the reminder to get my protein. I also do not like touching raw meat, yuck! My local Kroger has marinated chicken breasts so I can use a tongs to place it on a cooking sheet. It's already flavored, less grossness to cut off, easy to make.
🍽️ great stuff. Went for a run during my lunch hour. Glad to hear the Count is going to help with the website. I’m a web mgr for a large corporation, so I see so much potential in how you can present your amazing content! Protein? I like Red’s eggwiches for breakfast. 😋 😘
🍽 Today I will actually be meeting my protein goals. I met with my provider for the first time yesterday, since starting Zepbound (3 weeks ago) and we decided 75 grams/day is what I need. It seems like so much!! But I got this!
❤❤❤ love your videos. I've learned a lot from them. This is my first week on Zepbound. No side affects yet, praise God! I started on Monday, July 8th. Not really sure what I feel right now but I'm taking it one day at a time. My current weight is 276 pounds. Keep me up lifted as I'll do the same for you and the group.
🍽️I just took my 11th wk of 2.5. (down 30. Didnt gain or lose this past wk) Ill be moving up on wk 13. Food noise is coming back heavy, stomach is starting to grumble. Planning on staying at 5 for as long as possible as well.
🍽️ I’m drinking more water, eating more protein, tracking my weight and just eating more food in general. 5mg has been a huge learning curve for me (stalls and all!) and finding what my body wants most to keep losing. Thanks countess!!😘
🍽️ I’m going to follow-up on protein for my size. I use WW but it shows I only need 80 g per day. I’m losing so slowly….around 1 pound per week. Thanks for this group! It is my lifeline. And….Life IS delicious!
I didn't have side effects until i took 12.5 mg and injected it in my abdomen. Other injection sites haven't really given me side effects. I didn't have side effects with the other doses.
I’m totally convinced that going up every month is a mistake. My healthcare has advised me to stay on the lowest dose for 4 months. Then increase up in the 5th month. So far so good. I’m concerned about getting to the highest dose and then what? Hopefully it will all fall into place.
Yup. I personally didn’t spend enough time at 2.5 or 5, and still regret it. 😢 Finally wised-up/knew more when I got to 7.5, and spent 4 months there. (Which was maybe 1 month too long… but still was a *great* dose overall for me. 😊)
🍽 I also titrated up too quickly, but had to immediately stop completely for a few weeks after hitting10mg and restart at 5mg, although I since I had extra pens because of that, I was able to take 5mg every 5 days. Eventually I started splitting my dose and realized that I didn't have to jump from 5 (too little) straight to 7.5 (too much). It's worked wonders. My health care provider is pleased. I forget to put what I am doing, but basically every day trying to get my water in and gradually eliminating foods down to which ones I know work for me, then will add them back in to test so I know for sure what I personally cannot eat and maintain weight loss.
I am just starting out, and i would LOVE help with high protein recipes to help keep the hunger away ❤❤❤❤. Thank you for all of the information you provide. You are helping me not give up through the side effects. I understand through you exactly what to expect. I love my doctor but he just gave me the meds and told me it would help with my gloucose, but never explained what was normal and what was not.
Hi Elizabeth, got on late good video I’m on 5mg for 3 months and still a 1 and 1/2 pounds a week and still have nausea and constipation plan to stay on it as long as I can 🍽️❤🍽️❤ you’re my bestie hugs 🙏🏼❤️😘
🍽️ started my day with protein and finally hit my 100 Grams ! Planning exercise routines for the week. Purchased a Matt and some resistance bands and ready to try wall Pilates and some strength training ❤🎉
I am currently debating to move up to 7.5. I am still losing weight slowly on 5.0 but am going on vaca the end of August and do not want to be titrating up next month at the beginning of my vacation.
🍽🍴Lots of good information! I'm following along and focusing my day on making sure I have protein, fruit and veggies, and water, before I eat anything else!
Hi Elizabeth, Ive been on Mounjaro 2.5 mg and have lost around 18 pounds in six weeks. I will contine for another month. It's difficult getting in all of the protein. Thank you and God bless❤
🍽️ Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for the Biocare protein shake recommendation. I got their welcome kit to try out both flavors and they are amazing. I used your referral link and discount code snd saved a little money too. Awesome deal on an awesome product. Thanks again.
🍽️ I just started 5.0 2 weeks ago. I was on 2.5 for a month. I didn’t feel like it did anything for me. Being on 5- I still haven’t had much results. I actually have gained a few pounds! I was on Ozempic from last April, by October my gallbladder was causing me pain, by November I had to get it removed. I was also having severe constipation which was also caused severe UTI’s. I stopped taking Ozempic in January. I started Mounjaro in June. The only side affects I have now are the nasty burps and tired all the time. Still have bad constipation. Eating more fiber and stool softener are helping. I eat a lot of chicken and eggs. Don’t eat a lot of beef cause it constipates me. I don’t like seafood either. I guess I should try protein shakes, but not sure what kind I should try. I am diabetic but I can’t have anything with artificial sweeteners because I’m allergic to them and they make my heart murmur. What do you suggest?? Thanks, Lynn
🍽️ I am making a list of questions to focus on with my doctor and tests to ask for at my next appointment to find out my deficiencies. Also focusing on my water and my protein. I’m not eating enough and I am trying to get myself on track. 🫶
🍽 video came good time for me . I have been on Mounjaro since Feb 13 2.5 and then middle of April went to 5. I have lost 27 pounds definitely a turtle lol and was thinking about titrating up. But I still have appetite (for most part) suppression and I am finding 5. So maybe I will wait a bit. Thank you as always! ❤🍽
I find now that I have been on 7.5 for 4 months and next month titrating up, the food chatter is back, but the drug doesn't let me gain weight as fast and I'm still eating better, not the best best but still pretty good therefore I pretty much find myself at a stall at my goal weight so just a little will power and the drug seems to keep me level even with a little food chatter. 🙏 🍽🍽🍽💉🍽🍽🍽 ~ Peter
🍽 I feel absolutely stuffed and sick to my stomach when I eat 120 MG of protein. I watch your videos on my TV and then comment on my phone. They why my time stamp is only 12 seconds. I'm not cheating. 😊
🍽️ haven’t even started MJ yet but my doctor already has me on a T-up schedule for every 4 weeks after I start. Should I say something ? 2.5/4wk. 5/4wk. 7.5/4wk. 10/4wk I’m already nervous to do this.
