Hey Everyone,

I recently stopped using a GLP1 medication due to an insurance issue and I am looking forward to getting back into the gym. My starting weight was 265lb and now I am 193lb. My goal is to be around 160-150lb. In high school, I used to weight train but that was around 10 years ago. I currently enjoy swimming and I want to get back into the weight room to prevent muscle wasting, to lose more weight and to overall be healthy. I compiled a routine and wanted to get some advice on how I should tweak it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated ❤️💪🏽

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been on Zepbound for a little over a year now and I’ve lost 72lbs since March 2025. When renewing my prescription yesterday, my doctor needed to submit a prior authorization which was denied. Even the appeals were denied. Now I’m wrestling with the fact that I may no longer have access to my prescription. I’m accepting it but I’ve noticed I’ve been experiencing a lot of anxiety surrounding this issue. I’m terrified of gaining weight again and having so much food noise. I started at 265 and now I’m down to 193. The good thing is I have access to a pool and the gym so I can go anytime and maintain my current weight. Has anyone else experienced being petrified and anxious about this? I can’t afford out of pocket every month so the only option would be going back to the gym. The gym as well as maintaining a healthy diet isn’t the issue it’s just trusting that I will be okay after all of this. I’m severely insulin resistant and hopefully I won’t gain the weight back quickly.
