Thank you for this video, today makes one week for me,I had a big loss on scale, but I am also doing this to get off blood pressure meds!! I was ecstatic to see a loss on the scale finally after years of not seeing it budge.
Congratulations 🎉 I’ve lost 32 pounds in 90 days/first 3 months on Zepbound 2.5. I’m thrilled allows me to focus on building health, walking, weight lifting, clean OMAD eating. What a blessing this drug is. I have 30 pounds to go. I’m now at 5mg and can barely eat. I don’t want to titrate up anymore. Whether we are a tortoise or a hare keep going!
Slow & steady for me! Almost 10 weeks on Mounjaro (2nd month on 5mg) & I just hit 20lbs lost! Need to increase my activity but I've been making better good choices so far! Appreciate the tips, Jenelle.
I am down 34 pounds in 2 1/2 months. 4 weeks 2.5mg, 8 weeks 5mg. I start 7.5mg upcoming week 9. I lost most that weight in the first 6 weeks and has slowed but never put weight on. I feel so good and have so much energy. Zepbound has been a life changer for me.
Janelle - I'm new to your channel and I love it. I'm on week 1 with Semaglutide and lost .50 lbs. I did lose 11 lbs. following Noom 7 weeks prior & before taking the medicine. I was hoping it would be at least 1-2 lbs. I don't want to get discouraged. When my doctor suggested I Zepbound (but my insurance won't cover it) I never thought of it and she gave me so much HOPE. As I was listening to you, you were watching what you ate, not just what you wanted. So thank you for a great video.
Thank you. I appreciate that you addressed the impacts of behavioral modification. I refuse to count calories. This is my 4th time losing the weight; my 20s was a starvation diet, 30s was Weight Watchers, and 40s was Keto. To be honest, I probably could count the protein and calories in everything I eat, in my head. I remember in my 30s my doctor had me go get a bunch of tests to see where my metabolism was. She was shocked that I was 100lbs overweight cause my metabolism was pretty speedy. My response was "I work really hard at being this overweight.". I spent most of my adult life oscillating from strict regimented diet to all out binges for years. This medication it has really allowed me to quiet the food noise and just concentrate on modifying behaviors for a healthier body. I still apply portion control, prioritizing protein, drinking my water, and moderate exercise(walks and weights). I'm in therapy and trying to modify many of my behavior around food, cause I really want this to work over the long haul. I do weight myself weekly and if I wasn't in the beginning of my journey, I would/will probably push it out further. Now I have my therapist on speed dial when the scale shows I haven't lost weight or even gained weight. I've lost 35lbs the first 12 weeks. Which I honestly think I am gonna stop sharing from here on out. If I had lost less weight and modified my behavior for health, that would be just as successful on my Zepbound journey.
Having a support system is extremely important. One of my promises to myself was to address my inability to maintain a weight loss. Not there yet but once I do, I will be starting therapy.
I’m your 500th sub! Wishing you the best to 1k and beyond. I’ve been obsessed with all videos on this topic and in the process have learned the importance of subscribing especially for new creators. Congrats on your health success!
Thanks for subscribing! I spend so much time watching and cheering on everyone that will let me on their weight loss journeys! So many deserve the chance to improve their health that have struggled in the past.
👏🏾👏🏾 that's great!! I have 42 in 4 months, and I'm on 5.0 Zepbound. Portion control is my struggle sometimes but the suppression is still there for the majority. Nowhere near my goal.but chipping away at it!!
You got this! It’s crazy how things change on a daily and weekly basis. I’ve had little appetite suppression the past couple of weeks and then bam this week I can only eat half of my dinners. But I am a simple eater and portions for me are not that hard now. In the beginning I was all over the place!
Thanks Jennell! This was a great video with wonderful tips! I am 22 weeks in and am down 22 pounds. I have had 2 surgeries during this time-- D & C and hysterectomy-- and just cleared for light exercise-- walking or eliptical-- looking forward to swimming and lifting light weights in 2 more weeks. I, too, am hoping to lose about 100 pounds, so this is going to be a long journey, and I am happy to find kind people like you who are willing to share their journey too! I am a new subscriber! ❤
Wow great start. I did some swimming early on to balance with strength training. It’s such a good exercise that I may need to bring it back into my weekly routine!
I am on this journey & the voice in my head tells me to give in at times ! To be honest without the injections I would have no control ,! Its a snails pace & your video reassures me ! Congratulations on your weight loss x
It’s a struggle at times but you have to remember the “why”. For me, I was tired of feeling sick all the time bc of high blood pressure and I lacked energy to do the things I love. Now I am finally able to live the way I have always hoped but still have a ways to go.
No weighing my food is definitely my problem. Don't each a lot but it's what I eat. I found out my morning muffin was 500 calories!!! I was thinking 150-200... my portions were twice the size than it should be. These are portions I've had since I was a kid so it's normal to me.
Yea I am careful when I talk about tracking or weighing your food because I think we all think “this isn’t sustainable” for the rest of my life. But doing it every so often, can be eye opening. I am back to weighing my food this month and couldn’t believe how much I was putting in my smoothie in the morning. 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks for sharing- this was encouraging. 😮 Now- I’m watching again. I really learned from using a food scale. My eyeballs were way off. I make it a game to see if I can get it right and then check… Also, once I make something like a tri-tip roast, or rotisserie chicken, I cut it into 4 oz portions in a storage bag, freeze them, and have been so happy to pull out my exact portion days later, mixing up my protein by how I feel that day.❤🎉
So many people are afraid to use the food scale, which I am not going to judge. We are one and the same, I love to see portions and definitely can’t trust my eyes! 😂
Hi Jen! So glad I found your channel. I would love to see some recipe videos: how you make your protein coffee, what you make in your Ninja Creami, easy meal prep, and whatever else you would like to share. Thanks so much!
I am reminding myself to keep looking at the big picture. Focusing on the week to week is a killer for me too. And yes….the same issue. Had to lose so much to finally fit into the clothes I have been wearing…. before even coming close to wearing the next size down. 😊
I still have issues shopping for clothes! For months I was just adding in a couple staples to my wardrobe as my focus was on losing weight and creating healthy habits.
I weigh daily and what I found is I can drop weight but then I’ll pop back up by two or 3 pounds and drop and pop back up. So it’s a constant zigzag, but I’m always continuously trending down so I don’t worry about the daily weight pop-ups.
Absolutely…I’ve done the same in the last 5 months….only have 3# to goal so I’m fine with it…just my body letting me know who’s in charge (ha ha). Excellent information!!
Love love love your channel ! Just found it ! Im starting Tiraziptide this week after losing over 100lbs and regaining it all back ! I suggest alot people take Biotine for hair loss ! Hair loss didnt creep up on me till about a year after weight loss . Cant wait for more videos!
Mine happened around 4 months but it was minimal. But I was worried because I did drop a decent amount of weight in the first 3 months but I was proactive and starting tacking some supplements and focused on protein which I believe helped me. Good luck on your weight loss journey!
If I have to measure out food, it would totally put me off. I dislike counting calories as it makes the food noise worse. I start thinking about food all the time. That is what I like about Mounjaro is that I reduce my portion sizes without any measuring. Plus, like tonight we had quiche with broccoli and beets in it. My daughter cooked it (she’s home from college for the summer). She would have had to do all the measuring and then figure out potions, nope.
I agree! If I had to try to calculate calories for a big recipe that would not be worth it to me. I don’t always track but there were moments where I stalled for a couple weeks and needed to take a look at my data to day eating habits. But that is why I always preach what works for me may not work for you! How we get to our end goals will be different but the key is hitting our goal!
I did not but I was very concerned that it could happen so I put vital proteins collagen peptides in my coffee or smoothie in the morning and took Nutrafol for the first year and then tapered off. And was introduced to a hair renew kit from innersense. I use very clean hair care products from them as well.
I just started measuring myself at the start of July bc I can feel clothes getting loser but number has not changed. It’s hard for me to realize there is more then the number on the scale but I am working on it!
Day one on my journey. Going to see my diabetic nurse so she can talk me through how to inject etc. can I please ask, you or one of your subscribers what is the tracking app your using, I have Fitness Pal but I think I want to start a new because that app has all my old food added and the weight I started at and it will not allow me to change it. Any help would be greatly be appreciated especially what not to eat. And how to deal with side effects. Many thanks to an old lady in England 🇬🇧
My biggest advice is to just take it day by day. And try to incorporate some movement even if it’s a couple thousand steps a day to start. Make little changes and remember that (just my opinion) the side effects are worse if you eat too little, not drink enough water or eat too much “fattier foods”.
Thank you for the video. Congrats on your weight loss. Can you please tell me what your starting weight was and how tall are you? I’ve been on Mounjaro for 12 weeks and I lost 26 pounds. I started at 203 pounds and now 177, I’m 5’6. My blood work keeps getting better every month. I’m thrilled. I would love to get down to 145. I also heard but I don’t know for sure that the closer you get to your goal weight it slows down a bit. I don’t know if this is true or not. What is your goal weight also? ✌💙
My highest weight was 261 but when I started Mounjaro I was at 253 2 months later. I am 5’9”. I would like to reach 153 but ok if I get under 160 and maintain that. It has slowed down drastically over the past 2-3 months but as long as I am not gaining and still building my healthy habits I am fine.
You are doing very well. Your hight in cm would be 170.68 and normal weight for this hight would be either, 65Kg, or 70kg or 75Kg. In other words, your hight in cm minus 100 would be the core, then either plus or minus 5kg. Good luck
Yes I am still taking Mounjaro. And still chipping away to reach my goal weight. No plans to stop but just decrease the dose over time to find a good maintenance zone.
Video is too long. Calories are irrelevant if you are eating proper food. Maybe bullet point your tips at the end so I don't have to watch 25 minutes of this.

Hi!! Congratulations on your weight loss. Did you have any side effects from 5mg?
@@maryd7081 a bit of headache day after injection and dry mouth on the 5mg now down 50 pounds in 5 months

Great job! 20lbs in 10 weeks. I bet you feel amazing!
Only 25lbs after 3 Mos for me... a little disappointed but keeping on.

How is it going?
I’m so discouraged… the people here sharing that they “only” lost 20-25 lbs in 3 months - meanwhile I have lost only 12 pounds in the same time… 😢😢😢

I don't seem to be losing numbers but inches

Not losing yet
Hope I do. 5 weeks in
Each person can have success at different strengths. Just hang in there!
I haven’t lost anything 6 weeks in at 0.5
