TomFromTexas — that is really helpful context on Starting Zepbound my. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?
I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Want to share my personal experience related to Starting Zepbound my first 8 since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 289 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 79 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Starting Zepbound aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this Starting Zepbound thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
