So this might be kinda long....if you don't have time that's totally fine...just FYI in advance. Lol. So I have been pretty sick for 6 years since covid pneumonia in 2021 and was on a vent... I have been on oxygen since then full time because I was told my lungs would never heal and I would have respiratory failure for the rest of my life. I started Zep Sept 2025 at 381. I had gained about 100 pounds over several years between not being able to be mobile and not able to go out to being depressed and just giving up on life basically if im being honest. Well as of July I have lost 100 pounds and I had family who wanted me to try and get out and come for a visit in DC which meant first time on an airplane, in airports, around people after lots of isolation, just lots of firsts and lots of things I havent done since I got sick. Guys....it was wonderful. The plane ride was fantastic, I fit totally fine in my seat, I hadn't eaten in a restaurant in 6 years and we went out to dinner every night all 5 nights I was there, I got to dress up and felt amazing, ate healthy but enjoyed being out finally, even went to a party while I was there that had over 50 people and I didnt have my anxiety like normal. The biggest thing is that after the first day of arrival my oxygen levels were normal and I did not wear my oxygen once after that and I have been home now about 6 days and still havent needed it!!! It truly is like a miracle. I havent felt this alive in years and years. I even lost 6 pounds in less than a week! I know this is alot of writing but I mean I was told I'd never breathe without oxygen again and I was told my mobility would forever be limited. I went sightseeing in DC WITHOUT OXYGEN! I felt amazing and beautiful in my new clothes and just cannot begin to say how thankful I am for the new life I have and for the meds that have changed everything for me. If you havent started but wanna....don't wait. Start today, start right now! I am now off tons of meds also...A1C was over 7 and now 4.6 and just couldn't be more happy! I went from ready to be in a grave to now being so happy with life that I cant stop smiling and I'm not even to my goal weight yet but honestly I feel like I am and cant imagine how I will even be when I get there since I am already this happy. Even got asked out this week for the first time in 8 years!!!! Life is good. 90 more pounds to go but I cannot wait for the rest of this journey! Here are some shots of my trip. Just an amazing trip!!! Also since the oxygen is better I joined a gym and I cannot wait to get started!!!!!

Well it has been a full year since I started my weightloss journey. However my year with Zep doesnt begin until September...I started in the beginning with semaglutide compound. It worked a little and then the doc changed me once I was approved. I honestly can't believe it has been a year since the beginning. I feel like it has taken so long to get where I am but then I also feel it has flown by. Im nervous that I wont make it to my goal weight because I have been stuck at the same 6 to 10 pounds now for like 2 months. I am worried its stopped working even though I am doing everything perfectly. I have one more dose I can go up but then thats it and I really want my 12 to start working. Hoping my body just needs a break. I am very proud of how far I've come and couldn't have done it without this group! I still have 80 to 90 pounds atleast to go. Just going to keep going and pray the stall ends soon and I can start going down again and actually stay down. Ive lost 98 pounds and I have so many NSV's....I seem to have new ones daily. This medicine has changed my life and changed how I see food and everything that goes along with this journey. I am just so so thankful. I will never go back to the old me. I love that version of me and appreciate that I didnt give up but I've learned so much and come so far....I wouldn't trade anything for all the changes and growth and my new life! 🫶😊 I hope this next year brings me to my goals and many new chapters!🎉💪🎉

Woke up this morning and I have finally hit my first giant goal. Finally in the 100 pound loss club! Been so so close for 2 months...I am just so grateful for all this medicine has done to give me my life back. Actually helped me take it back.... cause I definitely have put in the work.

Definitely celebrating this win and perfect timing with celebrating since we celebrate America tomorrow! 🎉🎉💪🫶❤️🇺🇲🥳🎉🎉381 to 278! 200 here we come!

Yay! I woke up today and finally hit my 100 pounds loss! So excited and just grateful for all this medicine has given me back. I still have like 80 more pounds to go but I know I can do it! Definitely celebrating this first big goal and the day before our celebration for America!!! 🎉🎉🇺🇲🫶🥳❤️💪🎉🎉

I was feeling a bit down about being stalled still but then I remembered I had made a couple pic collages of my progress and then measured today and I wasnt down anymore....still have a long way to go but very proud of all I've accomplished!

Started using Zozofit to measure in January 2026 and weighed 325 but I started Zep in September of 2025 and weighed 381.....

Total Measurements since January 2026.....
Chest- 5.9 inches
Upper arms- left 2.1 inches and right 2.2 inches
Forearm- 2 inches on both arms
Upper waist- 9.4 inches
Lower waist- 10.6 inches
Hips- 7.1 inches
Thighs- 4.1 inches on each one

Total Body Fat was 87.7% and now is at 74.2% which is 13.5% down.
BMI was 59.4 and now it is 53
Starting weight in September was 381.
Starting weight in January when I started using this to measure was 325. I had already lost 56 pounds before my first inches were ever taken.
I wish I could have known about this app and had my starting measurements to see truly how far I have come, but honestly I think even this amount of loss just since January is pretty dang good lol.
I'm stalled currently at 290 but just started 12.5mg 2 weeks ago and I know it will get rolling down again soon. Thanks everyone for being on this journey with me. Here are a couple pics to show my face and body shots from heaviest to now.... all I can say when I look at them is WOW because I honestly didn't see that person at 381. I see her now and I see me now..doesn't even seem like the same person....never will I be that heavy again. 8 months of Zep has changed my life. Can't wait to see the next 8 months!❤️

So I still have 10 pounds till I hit 100 pounds lost. Ive done great but also had some slowing down the last month....and been so impatient. I wanna get there so badly and even after that I still have about 90 more pounds to go which is ALOT....and I am starting 12.5mg in a couple weeks(fingers crossed)... BUT....I had to share something good.🎉😊..great to me...One...I walked in a store for the first time in over 10 years and I bought clothes off the rack!!!!! Best feeling ever.🤗 The second thing was about the size. I was all the way at 4 to 5x in shirts and like 26/28 in shorts....and even though I still have alot of weight to loose, somehow the way its proportioned on my body is making my clothes sizes drop way more than I expected so when I bought off the rack and even some really cute girlie stuff from a boutique (which I have never in my life been able to do boutiques🤯😍) I was able to buy LARGES!!!!🥹 So 4/5x to a large! That means way more than that scale sitting still or moving slowly.... It means I'm getting my life back....it means EVERYTHING!❤️I just wanted to share with everyone who has helped me and is still helping now....I will never give up on this journey and I will make it to my goals....slow or fast I will get there.I am just so grateful for this new life❤️😊.....🫶to you all! #wearechampions
