[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just assume everyone who lost drastic weight quickly is paying $550 /month for wegbound and telling them elegies they’ll start lifting weights soon…. And stop overeating once off the injectables… [/quote]

It's only $299 monthly, and I lost the 20 lbs I wanted to lose in 2.5 months. While losing weight, I continued lifting weights and eating a high-protein diet.  I tried so hard for so long to lose the weight without assistance, but after my last baby, it wouldn't budge.  I've always exercised five days a week and eaten a healthy diet and taking semaglutide didn't change it.  [/quote]

So you lost 20 lbs but now what? You have to be on meds for your lifetime to maintain it? What happens when you go off them? [/quote]

I’m working with a dietician and NP in a medical weight loss practice on Wegovy. They have told me that I need to stay at goal weight for a year, then gradually reduce the dose. Meanwhile, I’m working on healthy eating and exercise. The goal is to allow your body time to adapt to the new weight and develop good habits, so eventually you can go off the drug, or just take a low dose intermittently.

It’s all paid for by my insurance. (And I am not diabetic).  Also my goal weight is not super skinny — the NP helped me set it at a reasonable weight within my normal BMI.[/quote]

Zepbound, fully covered by insurance. Same advice/long term plan from the bariatric specialist MD I’m seeing locally.

I’m down 20 lbs in 9 months with 5 more lbs to go. Lost the first 10 through changing my diet and exercise, second 10 by maintaining that plus adding Zepbound (first month with a half dose, second month with full dose because that’s what insurance requires 🙄 but adding more time between injections).

I feel great - no side effects. Will take maintenance a month at a time after losing the last bit. In the meantime, I’m
being omdful of (and enjoying) my new approach to food and my simple exercise routine. [/quote]
