[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, I appreciate it. I mainly shared because I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about these medications. Zepbound has been an incredibly helpful tool for controlling hunger and making better habits sustainable, but it is definitely not just taking a shot and doing nothing.
At first my goal was simply losing weight and improving my health markers. As I got closer to my goal, the focus changed more toward preserving muscle, strength, mobility, and being healthier long-term. Losing 35 pounds has been great, but improving my bloodwork, dropping visceral fat, almost eliminating snoring, and actually getting stronger have probably been the bigger wins.
I’m also realistic that I’m still taking the medication, and I do worry about what happens if/when I eventually stop. I know maintaining the loss is often the hardest part, which is one reason I’ve focused so much on building habits I can hopefully continue.
I lift weights 5–6 days a week now, walk regularly, and focus heavily on protein. I usually have a protein shake every day and most days do a version of intermittent fasting where I stop eating around 8 p.m. and don’t eat again until about 11 a.m. the next morning (not counting an evening drink).
It’s not perfection—I still enjoy some things like a vodka seltzer—but the medication has helped me make better choices consistently. My biggest takeaway is that Zepbound helped me lose weight, but strength training, protein, and changing daily routines are what I’m hoping will help me keep the benefits.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing and really impressive to hear how much hard work you are putting in to build on zepbound jumpstart. 5-6 times a week of resistance training is crazy work.
