Has anyone taken ozempic/zepbound to lose weight and still maintained their muscles 💪? What are the watchouts? I need to lose 20 pounds, going to the gym but need some help to control my food habits.

The biggest watch out is that when you go off the drug, the weight bounce back can happen quickly. I was on wegovy for a few months, lost 20 pounds. But since stopping it, my habits haven’t changed and I’m back at my starting weight. The effects are real - it will change your relationship with food. But your body will fight back.

Not saying you shouldn’t take the medicines. Go in eyes wide open

I have but still lost some muscle. The watch out is protein. Get those fair life shakes from Costco and drink as many as you need to. I wish I had done that.

Nice, I already love them! I am scared about the ozempic face.

Drink a lot of water. The symptoms can be unbearable when you don’t have your food habits under control lol (speaking from experience)

20 pounds is all you want to lose? This can be done without a GLP1.

I have been trying for a while, but it’s really hard

Ozempic is bad news, folks. Get off it. They’re already finding terrible side-effects.

What kind of side effects?

What did you end up doing?

I didn’t do anything and still struggling. I asked my primary care and she said I don’t qualify for it since my BMI is 27 and it’s for 30 & above. I am moving to a new place which will help me get out more and be more active. If nothing changes after a few months, I would go with the cash option for procuring the injection and get the help I need.

I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?

It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
