I'm just feeling pleased with progress and wanted to share with y'all! 16 weeks into tirzepatide and I've lost 21.4 lbs, and my weight starts with a 2 for the first time in quite a while!!! 4 weeks on 2.5mg, 8 on 5.0mg, and 7.5mg for the past 4 weeks. It has felt slow at times because I'm impatient, but I think I've finally dialed in my nutrition, exercise, and meds, and can see a difference not just in the scale but on my body as well. Very excited to see all the hard work and patience paying off 😊
My story: I started with the official Zepbound pens because my insurance covered it. The entire process of dealing with an online doctor and getting my refills at the right time was annoying; everyone was dropping the ball and I was the one that had to scramble to make sure I had my meds on time - they re-prescribed the initial dose, 2.5mg, twice, because I had lost a couple pounds - even after I told them my insurance wouldn't cover another box at the initial dose and I was still struggling with hunger. I found out in November that my insurance would stop covering Zepbound for obesity in January anyway, so I started looking for other options. In the end, as we all have, I switched over to grey for 1. price and 2. the ability to manage it myself. Being able to increase my dose without justifying it to someone over email, or take it every 6 days instead of 7 to reduce the end of week hunger spike, has made all of this so much easier. Without grey I'm sure I would have been so discouraged over the whole process that I would have given up, so I'm very glad I found it and I'm grateful to everyone who has shared their stories and advice to make that possible.
