+6LB ZEPBOUND WEIGH IN?! Zepbound Weight Loss Journey

[@deb628]

Update: I’ve never felt the need for support groups before now. I’ve always thought they were great for others who need them. I was wrong. I started to follow others for the tips and tricks of GLP medications. I’m down two pounds today from two days ago. Two to go. This encouragement video calmed my heart and gave me the control back that I needed to continue on my journey. This is my first Christmas on maintenance and I have to admit I didn’t know it would mess with my head as much as it did. Thank you Countess of shopping!❤️ I needed this video. I’m freaked out thinking I will gain all my weight back. I’ll be so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Listening to this video and realizing that I couldn’t have gained four pounds in four days. We have traveled all over visiting our kids and grandkids. I know I’ve not been in full control of food choices but I’ve done well with portion size however. We have had to eat out while driving. I feel bloated. I am up two pounds over night. I know I had treats, more carbs than usual, salty holiday foods. Tomorrow back to my new normal I’ve learned since starting Mounjaro. Thanks again for the encouragement video.

[@MindyMikami]

💅🏻 Thanks for sharing your weight gain. It’s helpful to see that this is not a linear journey. Unless you ate 21,000 extra calories, a lot of that 6 lbs is probably inflammation from extra carbs. It’ll be gone quickly. I’m doing a core/cycling workout today, drinking all the water, and hitting my protein goals! 😘

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@MindyMikami Mindy I gained 5 lbs too but I’m ok with it

[@tnez2009]

I like how you put that.. I gained 6 over Christmas too.. but I’m already all the way down again and back on track

[@ladybugauntiep]

You are helping me so much to stay on track … your excitement going into the new year is contagious.💅

[@virginiapricemomma]

💅 Love the stress-free sharing about the holiday eating. It’s so key to breaking out of these mental prisons around food that so many of us have had to have in order to get by. I didn’t weigh myself until about 3 days after just so I didn’t have to see some of the artificial inflation on the scale. Thankfully by the time I weighed back in I was only 2-3 pounds up and happy to keep drinking my water and making better choices and allowing myself the time to enjoy the holiday break with the family.

[@donnaengelbardt]

yes! i allowed myself a few cookies, bread, and a couple of cocktails. I felt normal and not depeived. I did so without guilt. I had no desire to binge! I kept up my exercise and walking. I was easily able to pass up most of the sweets and desserts! However, i did notice eating sugar caused some achiness and inflamation that has been gone since starting Zep. grateful for the support of your channel and FB grouo! Happy New Year Elizabeth!

[@ChristyAnn0213]

💅 when I started this journey Mar 2024, I decided I would weigh every Saturday except Saturdays following major holidays. This has worked well for me. No feelings of guilt or self-reproach for eating what I want on holidays, I don’t have to see the faux weight gain on the scale, and then I get back to my regular Zep eating and weekly weigh-in pattern. Thank you for sharing a very normal weight gain pattern. ❤ I know you will keep going forward to that next goal🎉

[@maribethclark2798]

💅Going into (Wednesday shot) week 19 compounded tirzepitide Reached my goal of 130!!🎉 PCP wants 125 ish. That's okay. Today is walking. Doing all the things. Concerned about New Year finances to continue to afford. SS only....plenty of crunchy veggies vs. Sweets. 🤞🤞 for new meds and changes! 🙃

[@suzannedunlap701]

Today was deep cleaning day, ready to start the new year organized. I didn’t gain from Christmas and I am 3lbs away from 199. Can’t wait!

[@jennifert3845]

I've been pretty off and on plan since Thanksgiving. And in years past I would've stressed so hard over it. This year I maintained weight and just enjoyed it. Learning to give myself grace has been amazing with these meds and your encouragement group. 💅

[@terryweibye2434]

I’m so grateful I found your videos, I’m on my second week of Zepboud and love all your helpful tips ❣️💅

[@genawilson3436]

I have gained 4 but lost 3, so I am back on track and ready for the New Year!

[@amyb1981]

I gained 2lbs last week, I’m moving forward. Walked 90 min today, drinking my 100oz of water. My 12.5, I’m titrating up, should be delivered by Wednesday. Looking forward to my first of my new mg shot this Sunday. I lost a lb over Thanksgiving, but last week obviously was different. It’s ok…looking forward to the New Year, and all the hubbub to be over. I live in Hershey, I wish I knew you were up this way! Next time you’re here, let’s meet for coffee! NSV, I bought boots that have a small heel, and go above my knees, they would never have fit me before this weight loss. I want to show my hubby and see what he thinks, they are quite “Special”. lol. 💅

[@camilleiglesias752]

💅 thanks for normalizing the holidays. I did Christmas day eating anything I wanted for 24hrs... then right back on the wagon... and you're right, in the past I wouldn't have been able to stop and it's so amazing that it was only 1 day and then right back to eating healthy. ❤

[@JennyDee8876]

💅 If you’re interested in traveling to Scottsdale, Dr. Malek is the absolute best. I just had some of the procedures you talked about performed by him, and my results are beyond amazing. I plan to have a tummy tuck and thigh lift as well by him this summer. He’s fabulous. You go girl! It’s exciting no matter which surgeon you choose. Hard work pays off. 🥰

[@hayatwahob]

I'm on my 4th week of semiglutide. I have lost 3.5lbs. It has really helped with the food noise during this month. Thank you for sharing your journey. Always enjoy watching. Many blessings in the new year. 💅

[@tammyholtz4608]

💅 Between my schedule and the warm/cold weather and my post-surgery dog, nothing lols "normal" at this house. I'm just enjoying all my kids together for now!

[@wendysolem2372]

Isn't that wonderful! I did the same, I ate what I wanted but kept it in moderation and didn't feel the need to eat everything in front of me! It feels great! Congratulations on your journey, I'm hoping that I'm ending mine, I am actually a bit lower in weight than I wanted (My weight gain was from COVID-19) Now, I'm going down in dosage and no longer use every 7 days, I'm trying every 10. Fingers are crossed for everyone here to continue to progress!

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@wendysolem2372 Wendy me too I got down to 142 and I look too boney

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@wendysolem2372 I have titrated down from 10 to 7.5 and this week I went down to 5 mg

[@traceykenny2887]

I gained too over Christmas but I’m getting back on the horse from tomorrow for sure 👌🏼 Happy New Year 🥳 💅

[@melissamabry5927]

Elizabeth! Your nails are too cute! I love them. Thank you for being honest and real in your videos. I watch for the uplifting vibe and your honesty. It also doesn't hurt that you are hilarious too! Rock on sister!

[@trsimms]

💅 Thank you for your honesty/sharing. I gained 5.3 lbs and was very down. Returned home late Saturday and I have walked Sunday and Monday and today up to my water and tracking my protein again so I hope that I can get this off in the next two weeks and then start back to down a good path.

[@Mel2Wojo]

💅 Thanks for the encouragement and knowing holidays with family and yes delish dishes is OK and is going to happen. Its on to getting back on track and moving forward to better!!!

[@dellabrown7515]

💅🏾 . I’m so glad I found your channel. 2nd injection was on yesterday and down 3.8, even with the Christmas holiday.

[@rebeccabamford5505]

I love how real you are. It’s good to hear this could happen. I am still early on in my weight loss journey that I would be so angry at myself. But you put it in perspective. 💅💅💅❤️❤️❤️

[@megannemartinez7621]

💅 haven’t lost or gained weight this week. So good. Gym and walking my dog.

[@MARTHALGEORGE]

Love hearing you enjoyed your holidays.💅💅💅

[@lisaprouty5608]

💅 Love! Love! Love!... "That's who I am now!" ... I'm looking forward to saying that too. I see so many new habits locking in and know one day I will be able to say, "that's who I am"too. For today, I'm heading to the mall and am going to circle for a mile or two before shopping!

[@angiejameson7598]

💅🏾. Girl….. you were wound up today! Lol. Back to basics for us all! 💪🏼

[@annarivas2439]

Looking fabulous & you shine. Feel so grateful 🎉to be on this journey with you. I’m feeling better than I have in years. Nails

[@lynngordon5901]

Good for you. I’m the same way. I’m not even stressed about bothering to weigh in. Today was the day I started to refocus on my healthy eating and exercise. I feel so much better at the end of the day than I have for about the last ten days and that tells me SO much. ❤

[@IvetteBrantome]

💅🏻 yes your nails look great. I did smth similar as well. As for what am I doing today I am going to my Zumba class this evening after eating healthy meals today 😅

[@MargaretMelton-dl5il]

Nails. I have learned so much from you about weight loss on Zipbound. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@shakeehuntington9917]

💅protein, water, food prep & moving my body is my focus

[@AFitCookie]

💅 I gained 5 lbs over this holiday and it’s ok; I enjoyed my food and my family so I am not worrying about it. I know it will come right back off; and I didn’t want to go into the holidays feeling deprived; I think when you are deprived it makes it hard to stick to stuff; so I’ll accept the weight gain and keep it pushing. I just got the oura ring 4 for Christmas and so far I am loving it. I wear an Apple Watch and I also love that but I love the additional data that the oura ring gives me. Also I’ve been making chicken wraps for my kid cause he hates tuna but these have been an awesome way to get more protein in him.

[@QuirkyGirlie]

💅I loved walking, chatting with you, and meeting sweet Wilma- you are so lovely❤ yummy, I love tuna wraps- isn’t it funny how we crave healthier foods on this medicine?! I lost 3 pounds over the holidays and could NOT believe it! My insurance had denied my move up because I had not reached their threshold to go up - I’m a turtle losing verrrrryyy slowly-but at my weigh in this am I hit it! Your snack weight will fall RIGHT off and your body may get a little reset from the increased carbs. PS IGK is great- the charcoal dry shampoo is a life saver on days when you cannot wash and dry in the am. 😘😘😘 Have a great evening! And I loooove the nails!!

[@AliciaA2456]

💅💅 thank you for another video Countess!

[@diannefejarang1885]

💅💅💅 great job on accountability and redirection to your goals

[@annmeyer4525]

💅💅💅 You look amazing, Elizabeth! Don't have to justify the 6lbs...its a journey & you're knocking it out of the park! With back surgery a week ago, I still can't even walk well so I'm focused on my food choices today...lots of protein & fresh fruits & vegetables! Im still on 10mg Zepbound & in 8 mo have hit 75lbs lost!...20 to go ❤

[@traceybarnes7331]

💅 You will knock that gain out of the park, I have complete faith in that! For the first time in ages I not only lost the week of thanksgiving but also the week of Christmas too! I couldn't be happier, Thank you Mounjaro for helping me to be able to do what I've always hoped to be able to do.

[@reneallison2336]

100% agree. I've gained 4lbs, but instead of thinking screw it and going buck wild, I'm not worried. We are staying home and having yummy munchies for New Year's Eve. The next day is back to normal. This is not a New Year's resolution, it's just the new normal for eating and using Zepbound.

[@AngieBaxter-t6p]

💅 Your nails are FIRE!! Thanks for always being so open and honest... you'll lose that weight in no time girl! I didn't gain or lose this week after the holiday so I'll take that as a win I guess... I also haven't been able to workout since I've been recovering from surgery but this morning was my first time back at the gym since surgery and it felt so amazing to get back on the grind!!! ❤

[@karenmaggio3206]

Happy New Year!! You have done amazing!🎉love watching these videos so helpful. Thank you!!

[@jeannedrone9146]

💅Bike riding and lifting today. Trying to get back into the groove. Thanks for all you do for us!

[@jennsamasocialmediamanager4225]

Girl I have to say- you look great!!! Happy looks good on u!

[@karina_liveoutlout9065]

💅🏽Well, I ended up seeing the scale pop up a couple of pounds the day after hitting a milestone. No regrets! Just like you, I know that’s not real weight gain. I don’t have to talk myself off the ledge about it, which I’ll take as a win. I have a couple more special days to enjoy before my holiday season is officially done. New Year’s Eve and my birthday which is on 1/3. I have a basic plan for both and will enjoy both with a smile! I’m back to Apple Fitness + workouts this week and continuing to walk the dog twice a day while I’m still off from work. Feeling good! Wishing you the best as you round out the year and head back towards your regular routine and dropping that six lbs. You got this!

[@AntJen23]

💅 from North Dakota. Just took my niece to get her nails done a few days ago...she got Ferrari Red ❤

[@monica3376]

💅💅💅 As always, thanks for your transparency and encouragement

[@Chucknorris-c9f]

Holidays are rough. I was just happy to break wven at the weigh in. You are really pretty without make up.

[@charlottewilliams807]

💅💅💅Glad you are not worrying about the weight. You know how to get it off. That’s your win. You have the know how and have done the actions and put in the work. You got this. I gained a couple during a 2 days cheating and because of zepbound I did not eat half of what I would normally eat and could only eat 2 Christmas cookies. We thank God for this medicine. I am glad you know you are still doing great. 👍

[@aclaus596]

That spf is amazing. I have used it for 3 years. Today I went to Costco and now I have to meal prep. Then I’m gonna do my walk pad and my vibration plate. I found a KZbin video for a 10 minute workout on the plate. I’m typing while watching so my emoji is ❤for you

[@carmyopteryx]

💅 I ate better than any Christmas ever, normally it's a massive binge. We have loads of candy we got as gifts and I've only had a few pieces. Didnt lose or gain this week and I'm happy with that. I'm fighting a cold from my 3 year old so I'm just trying to rest and let my body heal over the next few days and Im getting ready to kick butt into this New Year!

[@courteneyarmstrong]

💅 Thank you for the video and prayers!

[@DianaMarie23051]

I gained too. But it’s the holidays so I’m not worried about it. I’ll get back on track now that it’s over. lol.

[@melodie9109]

I maintained through the holidays. So thankful

[@kimtedwards]

💅I love how you do your makeup!

[@elizabethbagwell3795]

I took a break (not from the meds) from my daughter is wedding in November through the holidays lol I gained 3-4 pounds. I love that I've created habits that still really keep me on track when I'm not actually on track 🤣 excited to get back in the gym, walking and eating better. 🎉

[@Kelly-gt5wc]

💅 Great video and yep i gained 3 pounds over the Holidays, but giving myself grace. I did a pantry purge today which was long over due. Needed to since i went to costco to get my healthy options to get back on track.

[@dianaspears4569]

I gained 2.5 over the holidays, but like you, I can STOP, which I wasn’t able to do in years past. 💅

💅 Walking during my lunch break listening to your new video.

[@Avoid_Low_Frequency]

Water and electrolytes!!! Moving more this week!!!💅💅💅💅💅

[@alexisg7360]

So this is currently happening to me. I took a short skript of prednisone for my asthma and out of nowhere gained 5 pounds of bloat in 3 days. I about lost my mind then realized it was the meds. Back at it today to drop the bloat and not freak out too much :) it’s been a wake up call for me though that I haven’t fully dealt with my years of trauma regarding weight loss/ gain. Trying to do what’s right and getting on the elliptical and speak kind to myself .

[@Zane_E_Zane]

💅 love the bling on the nails

[@ChelissaMoon]

It’s the holidays and there are fluctuations. You’re good!

[@michellesharpe5976]

💅 watching the calories today. I didn’t track yesterday thinking I could do it in my own. I was way over so I learned I’m not ready to go rogue

[@Motowndonna8]

I bake dozens of cookies for friends and clients each holiday season. I ate probably 2 dozen over about a months. I regained all 8 pounds I lost in November. A lot of that loss is water weight because I had a bad case of diarrhea for several weeks in November, which probably counts for half of the weight loss then. Plus because my diarrhea was so bad. I reduced my zitzepatide dose. I’ve now increased the dose a little bit .Time to get back on the diet. But you are right I do not feel defeated. And by increasing the dosage now that food noise has gone away.

[@ConnieKress-z2m]

Walked 5 miles. I have a Garmin Vivo Active watch, mid price range, and I love it! I lost 2 more pounds, trying to figure out maintenance and not lose more. Chipotle today. Get my first Territory order on Wednesday. Making sourdough bread. 💅

[@amymizell1349]

💅 My Boxer girl's name is Marlee Jean!! I lost weight over the holidays, and I'm so thankful! I have less than 20 lbs to go to my goal, and I'm going to steam roll it!!

[@CandyStickler]

💅🏼 so I am up 2 pounds but I am not worried. I figured it’s due to you having a few treats but like you I ate what I wanted I enjoyed my holiday and today I was back on plan. No regrets felt good to lift today and walk and elots of fiber and fruits and vegetables and healthy proteins

[@annarivas2439]

Yes thank you for keeping it real

[@LasVegasExplorer]

I hit “onederland” on Nov 21st and have been teeter-tottering around 200 since (mostly 199.x numbers). I’ve been disappointed, but also ok with that with this being the holiday season. I haven’t been under 200 for at least 10 years, so I have much to celebrate. Ironically, this week, between Christmas and New Years, I think I’ve broken my stall and I’m at 197.6. I just need to hang on to that loss and be mindful of my choices and activity this week.

[@kimberlyrogers0804]

💅 Getting ready to get on the treadmill since it’s too dark outside to walk. I need to refocus on water intake. I have a hard time in the winter because I only like ice cold water.

[@cecilibaldauf3615]

I gained 2.5 lbs last week. Im so frustrated, but this makes me feel a little better

[@lindylou961]

💅 My back went out and spent a LOT of time in bed and eating various fast foods and easy stuff which led to gaining 3 lbs. I'm okay with that, just happy to be moving again even though it still takes a couple of hours every morning to loosen my back up and stand up straight.😂

[@CarrieCooper-r5d]

💅 Walking in the treadmill!!!

[@melissathompson9518]

Your skin looks wonderful! What are you using as your skin care routine?

[@CountessofShopping]

Full disclosure - Lasers recently! That has made huge difference. I stopped retinols....doing medical grade skincare and also Amazon products

[@kendraorndorff7642]

💅 I ate what I wanted but, so much less than last year. I weighed myself the day before Christmas then again this morning and I lost 1/2 a pound. Last year not on this amazing medicine I gained 10. So, I know this is working for me. I have been in zepbound for exactly 1 year now! 55 pounds down and my goal next year is to lose 12 more pounds. Just took my first 15mg on Saturday evening and I have no appetite. And I feel a nap in my near future!

[@dawnd72]

💅🩵💅 Lost 1.5 lbs last week, but i usually go up and down 2-3 every single week. I never notice your "messy" home until you point it out. Always just focused on what you're saying. Another long shift today, so water and protein.

[@genawilson3436]

I love you! You're so down to Earth

[@cindyburbick9554]

Down total 92

[@LasVegasExplorer]

Can you share which hair cream you used? I scanned your Amazon beauty list, but maybe I scanned past it? Thank you!

[@joanne8084]

I totally relate. If I lost any weight back in the day I’d think I’ve ruined it if I gained anything back & then I’d binge eat & think there’s no point in trying anymore. I definitely gained a few pounds this past few weeks but I didn’t even bother weighing myself because I’m back on it now & I did enjoy myself this holiday season 😅

[@sbarcus1]

💅🏻💅🏻 today I'm sick in bed. but at weigh in today i was officially down over 55 pounds!

[@joleneharper9036]

💅 shot day focused on water!!! Also only up 3 pounds with the holidays

[@heatherjohnson2940]

💅 - thanks for content and prayer!

[@MariaRM89]

I gained 4 so far 😅 but Ive really been enjoying myself with all the good food 😋

[@yessicaplascencia2389]

💅🏻 I gain 2lbs but I got a stomach bug and I lost 4lbs lol 😂 so those extra lbs we gain just needs to come out TMI. Thank God for those LMNT Electrolytes, I am back on the wagon eating healthy 😄 today I'm cleaning my house with Lysol so my family can come over tomorrow for New Year's Eve 🎉

[@nancyj4918]

I want plastic surgery, but I’m scared as well. Can we get some recommendations or does anybody know of a great surgeon on the West Coast? Preferably in the northwest?

[@StaceyHudson-n6d]

Just because I started on December 7th that did not slow the flowing treats and celebrations; my son came home for a visit, 2 birthdays, college graduation, Christmas Eve and Christmas. Even though it was my very first month I did not lose the usual weight but I am hoping to be down 10# this month. No matter it is not the usual gain and I loved not having those cravings. 💅 I am not wanting to do any movement at 233#. I can do some weights for my arms and back and some stretching before bed.

[@Ashley-k3s]

💅💅 Same. Ready to get back on track!

[@missyonmounjaro]

I went to Aqua fitness class this morning.💅

[@LO-gp3bv]

I gained but I am off my Zepbound because I’m fighting to get it covered again from Highmark BCBS because they changed my criteria. Trying hard not to gain anymore. But I am so hungry all the time. So I need to find a better outlet to keep myself busy and not eat.

[@Happy2ndtimearound]

💅 so need to get back on track…. I have officially gained weight after losing 20 lbs

[@Maile006]

💅 💅💅 On an evening walk taking the doggies for a walk to get in my 10,000 steps 😊
