Hello, now that the quickpen is on the American market how many folks have run the numbers on the cost of click counting vs compounding for maintenance level dosing?

Hello community, I’m hoping for some perspective on my progress and titration schedule.

Starting Weight 239 (lost some weighting for insurance to start)
Current Weight 207.2 45 male 5’11

Week 1 2.5 down 11.3
Week 2 2.5 down 6.2
Week 3 2.5 down 3.7
Week 4 2.5 down 3
Week 5 5 down 3.4
Week 6 5 down 2.2
Week 7 5 down 2.4
Week 8 5 up .04 (just started this shot yesterday)

I have significantly increased my exercise lifting three times a week for the last few weeks, walking more than 10k steps most days. I’m eating a high protein low carb diet averaging more than 160+ protein a day and I am learning about adding more fiber.

Hydrating regularly, thinking about adding some electrolytes to the mix.

I have four weeks of the 5mg already filled and will refill my next dose in just under two weeks.

I would love to do my whole journey at 5 but I am wondering if I need to ask about moving up to 7.5 for my next dose, I’m starting to feel a bit hungrier, mostly the food noise is still controlled though. I have at most three more refills before I lose insurance coverage.

What would you do?

Since I only have my wife and doctor that know I am on Zepbound I thought I would share with this amazing community!

Six weeks and a few days in I have gone from 233 to 211! If my scale is to be believed I am also kicking butt on body fat loss as a percentage of my overall loss.

Seems like I am going as fast as I safely can as my weekly numbers are trending down, lost 2.5 last week!

I wish I started earlier!
