4 month progress update- met goal!

I’ve been on Tirzepatide 2.5 mg weekly for 16 weeks now and officially met my goal of 130 yesterday. That’s 27# down! I’m 48, 5’4”, starting weight 157#, perimenopause. I lift 5 days a week with the ladder app. I used to be a big cardio queen but don’t do much anymore (besides walking at work as a nurse, and walking my dog at home). My originally goal was 130-135. Then when I got to 135 I thought maybe if should be 125-130. I’m going to work on sticking with 130 but building muscle. Will need to decrease the med at some points since my appetite is still so low it’s hard to meet my protein and calories.

Zofran?

Does PMD prescribe Zofran for nausea? I still have some, but wanted to know before I make the switch. I don’t take it often now, but like to have it on hand for the times I do need it.

11 week programs on 2.5 mg Tirzepatide. Down 19.8#. Tracking macros in the Lose It app. Using the Ladder workout app 5-6 days/week for lifting. Maybe 1 day a week of spin class, otherwise I get lots of steps at work. Feel so much better!

Loving Thrive

13 weeks in, down 15#. I usually skip the Saturday Metcon due to plantar fasciitis and I’m not jumping around or running… sometimes I replace it with a spin class or stairmill. Otherwise I don’t do much cardio (I used to be the cardio queen!) I was so swollen in my before pic, and so uncomfortable. Down 15#. 7-12# to go…

6 weeks, down 15#

Super happy with my progress so far. I’ve been at 2.5 mg the whole time (tonight will be my 7th shot) and will probably continue at that dose since I still have 0 food noise and very little appetite. I try to get at least 100-120 grams of protein. Calories range from 1150-1400 depending on the day. I track in the Lose It app. I was so bloated and swollen in my before pics, and so uncomfortable with my body. I have about 7-12 lbs left to get to my goal.

Bloating/GI

When does the bloating go down? I took my first shot on Saturday. I have had 0 appetite starting the very next day. I already deal with GERD (2 different Rx meds) and constipation (although I had the constipation part figured out with Magnesium at night). But the GERD and constipation have been horrible this week. I feel so bloated. Down 2#, but I feel like I look like I’m up 10#. I’m drinking 80+ oz water (with an electrolyte in 1 of the glasses). Urinating 1-2x/night, so might have to cut liquids back after dinner. Working on fiber, I’m around 20 g right now.

Pricing

I bought a month for $5, which ends in June. It keeps popping up that I can get next month for $15. I’m thinking about it, but if I keep declining it I’m hoping that the $99 deal pops up. I’ve seen it twice in the past but didn’t want to commit to a year without knowing how I’d like the workouts at that time. Has anyone noticed when it usually pops up again?

I’m “lifetime” but 15# above goal (or 20# above personal goal). Thinking of rejoining. Trying to decide if I should do the 3 month for $18/month to see if I can lose quickly enough to regain lifetime with a weigh in, or if I should just do the $10/10 month deal that I found online. I want to be realistic, but also don’t want to spend more than in need to.
