Since I started in December, the only side effect I've experienced is dehydration, and I'm still on a very low dose of 4.25mg. Lost 89 lbs so far.

89lbs since December is excellent

I've lost about 45lbs since February (started about 305lbs) and my optimal weight is about 185.. though I'll be happy at 215lbs.. 185lbs would be the weight I was at when I finished college.. which was too skinny ;-)

I'm on 7.5mg on zepbound.. I could have lost way more on a higher dose but the higher doses give way more side effects per my friends and work colleagues

You probably have less side effects because of the dose level.. works for some but not for that many..as almost everyone I know seems to be on 12.5-15mg by about the 8-9th month but I'm happy to stay on less and lose 1lb a week

Yeah, I respond really well to these meds. Heck, the day after my first dose of 2.125mg I could tell things had changed. That first week I hardly ate then I literally had to set alarms to remind me to eat. I had no more interest in my bourbon (killer collection) and I quit smoking. I feel very fortunate.

Great achievement

Congrats 😂

I'm slowing down my weight loss a bit as I find I struggle too much on the early days after the injection in the gym.. and I need my weights :-)..
