I can second that "Join Fridays" is helpful. Their communication is very, very good and I always receive a personalized response if I have a question. Ok, it's only been a week and I'm on something like 0.25. My challenge is eating anything at all, much less enough protein. I have no nausea or anything, I just really have no appetite. I suspect I'll settle in soon, though! Thanks for the update, and great discount for those who want to get going!

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

Yes i totally agree! I had so many questions when i first started and was sooooo pleased by how quick and kind their responses were 👏🏾👏🏾. But I think it will settle for you! My first 2-3 weeks I had NO appetite and food noise and had to force myself to eat too. Then it leveled out 😊

[@Kiesha81]

I am so grateful for this medication. I’m down 17 pounds so far. I’ve been on the medicine for 12 weeks. I am moving up to 5mg next week. My insurance covers it and I pay $25 out of pocket. My doctor prescribes it three months at a time. Good luck to all who is or will be on this journey.

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

Yes me too! It has been a game changer and life saver! I am moving up next week too! Can’t wait to see what happens. Good luck 💕

[@lenecharles7592]

Great advice 4 sure I actually stop weighing myself I started at 200lbs and I am currently 146lbs and seems like I’m sitting at 146 smh but my measurements are reflecting a lot smaller. So yes the scale can be discouraging. My goal is 135lbs and stay at a healthy bmi i’m 40years old with 7 kids 5-2” ht my oldest is 21. I deserve to self care because I wasn’t and my health was steadily declining I think that’s my healthy weight. I think that would be sufficient enough lol. Amazing content queen❤❤❤❤

All great tips that I follow!! I watched your videos prior to getting my 1st injection 2 weeks ago. I am on compound (semaglutide/pyridoxine injection)...semaglutide with B6 and I get a B12 shot from my doctor. I take my injections on Friday night...thankfully no side effects at this dosage. I am on 0.25 and have absolutely no appetite. I am about 4.4 lbs down (at the start of week 2), but I know it's probably water weight. I pay out of pocket for this medication and have no regrets!! I will add that I had gastric bypass in 2015, and due to menopause have about 15-20 pounds that I'd like to lose; currently 151. My goal weight is 135-140...I'm curvy!! Good Luck to all....because it's truly a JOURNEY!!!

[@LaneyValentine]

I gotta admit , when I first started , I weighed myself throughout the day , tracked everything ! Now , ive relaxed alot more .. mostly because .. Ive had some really great wl where id drop 4-6 in a week and now .. its like 2lbs a week and sometimes it goes up and then back down again before next dose. So , I really try not to stress about it so much now . 9 weeks , Tirz,, 25 lbs down

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

I think a lot of us do the same so i definitely get it! I have been weighing myself wayyyy less now than i did in the beginning. And congrats on your success so far 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Ive lost 16.2 lbs in my first month. I worked hard though. Tomorrow im using tirzepetide to do 3mg and next week 3mg and then 4mg before i start my zepbound 5mg. I just don't want to jump suddenly.

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

That’s great, congrats! And I haven’t heard of anyone doing a new dose every week so I would just consult your doctor first , but other than that good luck!

Hi! Congrats on starting tomorrow 🙌🏾 I am not sure, I would check with your doctor but to be safe it might be good to stop for a few days so you can truly see how your body responds to the injections… in my personal opinion

[@alytheamccoy305]

Hey Miss.Kiesha ❤ I just started this pass Monday I take my next shot this upcoming Monday of course I feel like the 1-3rd day you appetite is suppressed the 4-7 my appetite did increase.

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

Yes that’s completely normal, especially in the beginning because the medication will start to lessen as the days go on. I tried to make my injection day make sense for me for me to have the most effectiveness on the days I would be the most tempted (the weekend) and it also works better for me with my work schedule too

[@sharkbites5472]

Nice video, thank you! Can I please ask you what your starting weight was and what do you weigh now? And how tall are you? I started compounded Mounjaro in March 2024. I’m 5’6, add my starting weight was 203 now I’m down to 167. And I couldn’t take my medication for two weeks because I had upper and lower eye surgery. During that time I didn’t gain any weight. I was never overweight my whole life. But then I had two strokes and after that I started to gain weight. My blood work was bad. My A1c was 6.0, my sugar was really high and I had and under active thyroid. Now my numbers are coming down with this medication. So I’m thrilled! Keep up the great work! God bless✌💙

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

Wow that is amazing! Thank you for sharing . My starting weight was 228 and I’m now 208. I stopped for 2 weeks while I was on vacation. I also have been on the lowest dose this whole time. And I’m 5’7 😊 I have a playlist of videos that go into way more depth if you have a second check them out

[@sharkbites5472]

@@keepingupwithkeisha thank you for answering me! You’re doing great! And I definitely will check out your videos. Consistency is key in my opinion. And even if the scale doesn’t move, we keep pushing on! I hit a stall for two weeks. I was bummed out but I broke through it. I know that a stall is no different than any other person on a weight loss journey. With or without using medication. Your body just has to reset itself! Have a great day and God bless!✌💙

This is the 2nd GLP vid of yours that I watched & I'm really feelin your vibe. I totally identify with a lot of the things u say. Esp in your last vid where u were afraid to inject in the thigh, SAME! 😂 I just did my 7th injection the other day and so far I've only done my abdomen and just once in my arm. IDK either about why the thigh scares me so much lol. Maybe bc lots of people say they don’t get as much appetite suppression so maybe it would be better for someone just doing maintenance. Also I heard it hurts like a b***ch🤣

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

Thank you for the love! And yes all the reasons you said about the thigh for sure lol 😂

Have you ever had any other type of greens before? Because in comparison to other greens these are amazing! But overall they are definitely for functional purposes and not for true enjoyment lol

[@CeeceeD-f3z]

Hiiiiiii it is now August 8th and I just started my first injection of Ozempic on August 1st in my left arm and I did it also at night and so far I have not had any side effects however I do get a little nausea when I’m hungry but nothing I can’t deal with. Also I’m hearing a lot about the protein consumption and I would like to ask how much of protein should I be consuming daily? I heard you say you like the coffee smoothies but I hate coffee and my stomach won’t tolerate smoothies not to mention that the caffeine is not good for my heart soooo I’m going to have to figure out what will be some good protein for me to consume other than meat.

[@keepingupwithkeisha]

Hiiii! Wishing you the best on your journey. Research shows that people on a glp-1 should generally consume at least 1 gram of protein per 2.2 pounds of body weight per day. It’s going to take some trial and error but find things that work for you! I love yogurt, tuna, protein bars and shakes, salmon, chicken , etc
