Totally false. If the drug targeted muscle no one would take it. When you lose weight you lose some muscle! And so many people on the drugs are working out more than they ever did. [/quote]

Mid-50s here. I’ve been on Zepbound for about 7 months and went from 230 to 195, mostly on the 7.5 dose. BMI dropped from 32.5 to 27, and body fat from 34% to 24%.

Recently I’ve been spacing doses out to about every 10 days without any noticeable increase in hunger.

Other changes: I now lift heavy 4–5x per week and take creatine daily (both new). My body scans show no muscle loss so far. I don’t track calories anymore but consistently get 8,000+ steps/day.

Still drink vodka seltzers most nights. One unexpected benefit: a driving-related anxiety (bridges/highway trucks) that started during COVID has resolved.

GI-wise, things are much more normal/consistent now compared to pre-Zepbound. I do have to stay on top of hydration and fiber (Metamucil).
