I have kept the weight off no issue and eat whatever I want now. I think being on it for 2 months reset my portion sizes too. It’s been a year I was creeping back up to 130 and go a one month supply and have been doing one week every 3 months. That way there are no physical symptoms. I’m on the absolute lowest dose too.

Wow! This is my situation, too. Tried to lose 15 lbs for years and just could not do it. Also went to a medspa for compounded Mounjaro/Zepbound and it has been what I needed. Down 10 lbs in one month. I'm so excited, and I'm also really encouraged by your story of maintaining your weight loss, by and large, after going off the meds. I feel it's resetting my eating habits, too. Whoever invented this drug is a damn genius.

Side effects and future effects be damned.

Such drama! Please site the future effects you are worried about.

I was in the same position of trying to lose ten pounds. I was 145 and now down to 135. My comfortable weight is between 130-135. I have been 145 for the last 5 years. I "tried"to loose the weight and it was not coming off and i blamed my changing hormones. I have to say I had been influenced from social media with all of the talk on protein, counting macros, lifting heavy etc....

I finally took the advice of calories in calories out. For the last 8 weeks I have been tracking everything that I have been eating. I have been eating in a calorie deficit. It has taken will power and sticking to eating in a deficit calorie zone to loose the ten pounds. I will aim to loose 3 more pounds then go to a calorie zone to maintain my happy weight..

I got the Weight watchers app to lose 15 months. But, those points are very little. Like if I have eggs with one table of spoon of olive oil, 8 points are used. And my daily budget is only 23 points. Is weight watchers doable at all?

If you only need to lose 10 lbs, please jump in and share tips.

I lost 10.4 pounds in one week by following a self-designed One Meal A Day keto regimen that would be
bat-shit crazy for anyone else to follow.

After eating all but tons of Pop Corners (corn meal, salt, vegetable oil. flat triangular dopamine traps for salty snack partisans) and my usual 1,000 calories a day in Starbucks,

I determined to eliminate added sugar and most carbs.

I started with 84 grams measured on a kitchen scale of organic active cultures no sugar added plain yogurt--only--and all the water I wanted for 24 hours. Eaten straight out of the container, which was resting on the scale.

I set 18:03 as my "fast break time." Reasoning included for half the time to my next meal I'd be asleep. Began to count the hours in short order.

I'm retired and live alone, so I'm not prey to the temptations of what other people do.

I had done keto/OMAD several times over the years, so I didn't experience the middle-of-the-night hunger pains I did when new to it. One can and must push through those.

Following the above, I lost 2.4 pounds each the first two days. Was vastly encouraged.

Third day, added twelve pecans. One ingredient. Good fat, a little protein, no added sugar, negligible carbs.

Drank 30 ml of a half and half. And that's it.

A few days in, baked and ate some wild-caught salmon. No sauce, no anything added.

For the time being, I don't care about "a balanced diet." I don't care about electrolytes.

This morning I was 173.2, which was a little below the weight I have been for most of twenty years,

with the goal of getting down to 145 on five foot nine, which was my weight most of my adult life.

At around age 55 the metabolism slowed down, or maybe my eating habits got worse, but I slowly gained weight up to 175. Since I was exercising regularly, and healthy, I noticed the weight gain but didn't care.

I'm dedicated to getting down to 145 by April 14th, to honor a departed relative whose discipline and humor always inspired me.

For the next three weeks I"m going to do whatever it takes to get there. If some people want to dismiss it as
"starving oneself" I really don't care what they think.

You probably don't want to be as disciplined as I'm forcing myself to be.

Good luck to you.

It's definitely doable, you just have to focus on zero point food. My breakfast is one point - a smoothie made with yogurt, spinach, and frozen blueberries. The one point comes from the almond milk. Lunch is zero points, usually cottage cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes and chicken. I have a protein shake sometimes in the afternoon, that's 4 points. That way I'm going into dinner with over 15 points to spare. I find the points system much easier than counting calories.
