Progress: 5 months -25.5 lbs
For reference: Age 62, 5’2, started 2.5 mg Zepbound injections on 12/1/25 at 185.5 lbs. size XL leggings. Today 5/9/26: 160.0, size 12 skinny jeans at Walmart. Went to Big Easy compounded 4/1/26 at 5 mg, currently 7.5 mg. Have lost 19.5 inches to date. Other than single life living in a country home with yard chores/active lifestyle- I haven’t used my gym membership. Need to work on arm strength though.
-observations: measure and take photos. I couldn’t tell much progress until comparing stats.
-wished I had titrated up sooner. I stayed at 2.5mg for 4 months and needed to move up sooner after stalling for a month. Once I moved up- weight dropped again. I am self pay- so I had waited to spend less with Big Easy.
- I started counseling on Day 1 and meet monthly. It’s helped reframe my relationship with food as the ‘go to’ for emotional stress.
-enjoy the journey. Soon, I’ll be maintaining and not on the weight loss cycle. 😛
