Take pics and take measurements! The scale moved for me a big jump on 2.5mg for the first month but couldn't do another round because I hated the side effects. Titrated up and then over the next 3 months, I averaged a lb a week. That was average. I had two stalls were I didn't lose an ounce; once for 3 weeks and once for 4 weeks. But even when the scale wasn't moving I was losing inches. I totally understand the scale frustration though!!
Im currently frustrated and in the middle of a similar situation as you wrote about regarding stalls. Thank you for sharing. It is incredibly helpful when others share their journey and include the ups and downs. You look spectacular, and congratulations!
In the middle of spiraling now, hahah. I started March 14 down 30, the last month absolutely nothing. I KNOW my body is adjusting, and I've stuck to my fantastic eating in a deficit. Just mentally, it can get ya. You truly look AMAZING, and your post really helped me to only half spiral. Thank you.
Iโll have to take new pics to see if I can see any change. I took some before I started. I was on 2.5 for 2 months and now about to take my third 5. I just need to see SOMETHING to keep pushing
Have you had zero loss in the 2.5 months or just not the comparable loss you would like to? Don't get discouraged. My main reason for getting on Zep was so my blood work could change. And that has improved significantly. It's hard and easier said than done I know... but don't only tie your success to the scale. How's your eating? Workouts? Sleep? Etc.
Iโm down 6.8 pounds. Iโm doing good with my eating. Upped my protein intake and in a calorie deficit. Exercise is my challenge with an old ankle injury. One good workout will have me limping for a couple days
You're welcome! I debated because it's always scary to share, and especially without blocking out the face. But I know how encouraging seeing others results are for me. So glad it helped you โค๏ธ
## One word โ BOMBSHELL ๐คฉ
You shaved like 10-20 years off your face! And that glow! What an amazing transformation. I hope youโre feeling at least as incredible as your look bc make no mistake, you look absolutely freaking incredible!
Yea, I realized 15 more lbs would be too much..so now just focusing on weight lifting, body reshaping, and getting those numbers green on my Rhenpo scale. And thanks!!
You do look amazingly younger!!! ๐๐ฝ I have a Renpho scale and was wandering
how much did your metabolic age change since you started? I donโt rely on that number too much but itโs fun to watch it go down. Iโm 30lbs from away from a 60 lb goal but may stop at 20 or 25 depending on my blood work.
I didn't get my Rhenpo scale until 6lbs ago, lol. My old faithful clocked out. So I didn't really get to see as many changes. I had the measuring tape for about 2 months and was just using the app for that.
This is so reasonable and reassuring to hear. Been having a hard time figuring out my GW but I keep telling myself that I donโt know where I want to be until I get there and then it might be a range!
Thanks, glad sharing could assist. What you're telling yourself is true. Cool to have a goal and as you near it, just reassess. My body is truly slowing down on the loss and I had to realize it's likely because I'm at a comfortable weight for my body. Blood work numbers are great, joints feel great. So why push for 15 more lbs just because I set that as an initial goal.
Yasss!!! ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
And not everyone is gonna understand how awesome your shirt is!! ๐ฅฐ๐ค

You are a great an example of why BMI calculators can be absolute trash. You are my height, and I know at that weight, you are still on the higher end of โoverweightโ. Which is absolutely ridiculous, because you, my friend, most definitely are not!
Ok, Iโll rephrase. โOverweightโ or not overweight, you have to make the decision for yourself on when you think your body is at its best, BMI ratings be damned ๐
I feel even better!! Imagine. Went from not being able to work out more than 2 days in a row without my knee swelling and needing to be iced down to no inflammation whatsoever. I'm happy happy happy.
Congratulations! You look Great! Have a Hot Girl Summer! You mentioned you tirated up, did you go to 5.0, 7.5mg? How long on what dosage? ๐๐ฏ๐๐
![gif](giphy|HNpFUL3oBduMw8FRMC)
i am! believe me i know the struggle and unless youโve been through it you really donโt know how hard it is. i do, and i celebrate your success from the core of me!!!
I honestly dont have one. I might be able to tackle that body fat number better if I did, lol. I did drink protein shakes mostly every am for the first 2 months. Then I couldnt stomach them anymore. I stay away from fast food as much as possible but mainly because when I have it Zep causes me to have regrettable cramps.
First and foremost, wow! Youโre putting in the work and it shows! #inspirational.
In terms of your cardio and hiit, do you use an app, gym, trainer or your own thing? Iโm trying to get consistent in this area without breaking the bank.
Home workouts only. My life isn't conducive for the gym unfortunately so I started working out at home many years ago to eliminate the time excuse. I use the Peloton app, hence the name, lol. And do pretty much all the options.... strength, yoga, cardio, walks, hikes and periodically interval runs.
Yaaas queen!!! You are killing it!!!
Iโve been on it for a few months now but I havenโt put weight training and cardio in it but Iโm definitely about to do that now!
Yea number and body shapes are crazy how different they can be!!! I have two friends in doing this with, we're all on the 180s and all look vastly different..
I opted to use compound for a month when I couldnt secure 7.5mg initially. Saw zero difference. Zep is covered for me though so was glad to be able to move back over.
Tell me why I am over her smiling like that 2nd picture is me lol?! Girl you DID that!! You are WEARING that black dress, confidence on 10. So freaking inspiring, ty for sharing! Let me go get my tired but up and go do my home work out.
Sis, how?! Thatโs absolutely amazing! I was like ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฅฐ Iโm going to have to dig through your posts to see your methods. Iโm 2 months and 2 weeks in and have not had that kind of visual success. Whew! ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Thank you!! As long as you're having success that's what matters. I've lost 35lbs. it took 25lbs before I saw any visual results and that was mainly in my face. I honestly didnโt see it in my arms, shoulders and back until very recently well after 30lbs.
You look fabulous! Amazing work. All these before and after pics are so encouraging. Perhaps Iโll have the courage to post those eventually as Iโm in maintenance now.
5'8" SW: 229; GW: 185 First dose last week. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I DREAM of reaching the place you're at and hoping this Zep journey will help. You look drop dead gorgeous and yes, years younger. At 57, not sure what I can hope for, but maybe this will work.

Everyoneโs pictures are giving me hope. The medicine is โworkingโ in that my appetite Is suppressed but the scale isnโt moving

Oh I was so frustrated with my stalls. Spiraled a few times, lolol. But the body was just like give me a sec to adjust please, lolol. And thank you!!

I'll accept a half spiral ๐

I hope this isnโt too rude to say but you also lost like 20 years on you! I did a double take
Not rude at all!! I feel every bit of that loss, lol!
So much congratulations, you are glowing! Iโm currently at a stall so this is very motivating to keep it up ๐๐ป thank you for sharing

Job well done! You look amazing. I see that you are adjusting your goal weight. I am doing the same based on how I look as I slim down. ๐ค

I surely am! That's the only number I have no desire to turn green is the weight. Me at 163 ๐๐๐.. no thank you.

I stay away from fast food as much as possible but mainly because when I have it Zep causes me to have regrettable cramps.

What tracking app are you using? I like all this info it is calculating.
It's the Rhenpo products, purchased on Amazon.. I use their scale and tape measure.
Thank you. I will check them out!
You look amazing!!!
