*study* 1 IN 6 On ZEPBOUND & MOUNJARO Are Doing THIS On Tirzepatide Weight Loss // JOIN FRIDAYS

[@nonahb850]

I cannot imagine doing that. It seems like it's promoting the very behaviours that we're trying to counteract. That doesn't mean that I won't have holiday foods, it just means that I have less of them and am strategic about it.

[@TheGammie]

🍗🧀no mac and cheese emoji❤❤❤Not skipping Zepbound and not skipping socializing. Just plan on having a tiny bit of everything. Moderation is the key. This is a new lifestyle, not just a temporary thing so I need to learn how to live in the real world and deal with reality. Graze, don’t chow down.

[@FatGuyNoMore]

Since starting this medication on 9/2/22 I have taken about 12 less shots than HALF of what I should have as prescribed… due to COST! I would *NEVER* skip a shot due to food! Period!

[@CreativeExpressionsArtStudio]

I aint' skipping NOTHING ! cost too much to do all that! 2 months at $881 and finally this month will be $464.. nope that's just money flushed down the toilet w/o a weekly weight loss. Love the videos, Teya

[@marierook4127]

I never skip! I want the appetite suppression even more then 🎉

[@aclaus596]

As I am watching this, I’m making my family Christmas cookies. I am not skipping my shot but I’m moving it by two days. And yep I ate half a Christmas cookie. Why, because I’m not on a diet. This is my real life. Real life outlook is what will make me successful. I’m in month 15 and I’ve lost 93 pounds.

[@aclaus596]

I feel I should say I talked to my doctor about changing my shot day. I wouldn’t mess around without talking to my doctor

[@valerieSMITH-l7e]

You Rock!

[@sybilallen8495]

Staying, no skipping for me. All about being on a journey and super happy the sweets haven't called to me because being on the triz.

[@iLuis_Angel]

I haven’t skipped zepbound not once since I started my journey. During thanksgiving I traveled, took my Zepbound with me on the flight and enjoyed thanksgiving dinner and had my shot that week as usual. Currently down -55 pounds, working out at the gym 4 days a week, going great 💪🏼 currently at 10mg and it’s my 6th month on the medication.

[@LisaMartin-f3y]

🦃 Skipping my shot. Oh heck to the no! On week 3, down 15 lbs and loving appetite suppression and zero desire for sugary sweets, which has always been my weakness. Thanks for keeping it real, Countess! Love that!

[@PepperS72]

I have to this week, I have Covid but I have in the past as well. I call it a break, because truth be told it makes me so very tired at times. When I take a break, it's do I'll have energy to clean or do a home project. It's not to enjoy food more or to give myself a time to pig out. No desire to do that whatsoever. BTW when I do take a break it's usually 5 days or so & I do not become more hungry, I stay about the same.

[@ChelissaMoon]

Same - I didn’t want to take it when I had Covid

[@dawnd72]

🧀❣️🧀 Huge NSV this week. I've been collecting smaller clothes as I find sales. Last night I fit in every size 8/10 top and 10 skirt I tried on. I kept announcing to the dogs (husband was at work) SIZE 10 over and over 😂. Aint no way on Gods green earth I'll be skipping any shots as long as they are available. Food just isn't that important anymore. Today is shot day, taking it easy today cuz that fatigue is real! Love your video as always and go for that awesome deal while you can.

[@pamelafusca421]

🫕 hey there 😊… OMG… the turtle 🐢 😂… I’m glad she made it all the way home from Washington to rural Virginia and a stop in between in Las Vegas 🎉🎉 . It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and some of your amazing friends .. you’re just as sweet and adorable in person. Thank you for everything!! I have to say that I’m surprised that folks are taking a pause with their GLP1 meds for the holidays… I understand that everyone wants to enjoy the holiday meals and goodies but the wonderful part of this journey is we really can do both in moderation and not have set backs with our progress…but this is just my 2 cents. Wishing everyone a very joyous and happy holiday season and New Year’s ❤❤

[@CountessofShopping]

Love ya!!! So wonderful seeing you!

[@pamelafusca421]

@ love ya right back 😃🩷🩷. I hope to see you again someday!! Happy Holidays!

[@jillypooh002]

I’m T2 and will not be skipping. I’m also too excited for the new year and weight loss to come. ❤

[@MaureenSillery]

No skipping for me I’m just keeping next Xmas in my head & how I will look 🙏🙏🎄💕

[@amyb1981]

I track weekly on what I feel after each shot/where. I also track my weight loss. I never skip an injection. I can eat, I just don’t eat like I used to, and that’s perfectly wonderful. I lost a lb over a Thanksgiving, who would have thought? 2hrs and 20 min walking today. My legs are in 🔥. Still drinking my 100oz of water. Have great day. I think all your Vlogs should be after your caffeine is drank. 🙂🍜

[@annarivas2439]

THANK YOU COUNTESS. Still love all💖 your advice and great ideas. Inspired to do more and stay on track with meds and eating. My average walking has increased to 7000 steps a day. Goal is 10k and will keep going no matter what. Broke my plateu this morning on the scale with another pound loss. 🦃🍗 YEHHHH Fellow Turtle here..

[@mariasalinas776]

no skipping at all love your videos

[@ValslifeHealthJourney]

Thanks for being so real. You are so genuine.❤

[@CountessofShopping]

xxoo

[@mtgplnrlisa]

🧀🍝That wouldn’t be me! Not skipping! I take this journey very seriously. I definitely don’t feel like I am sacrificing- I don’t crave things I haven’t eaten. I’m perfectly content with what I eat. If I eat a cookie I’m not going to stress about it. I usually don’t reach my 1400 calories daily so I’m good! I’m not judging, you do you, I do me. I have definitely changed my dining out game… if they don’t have entree salads, I don’t eat there. The only meat that seems to agree with me is ground meat so I don’t eat much. For Mac and cheese, I use a recipe that includes blended cottage cheese and only 1.5 cups of fairlife milk and a lot less shredded cheese and protein pasta.. delicious and fewer calories and awesome protein. I do order a glass of wine when I go out to dinner but drink about half. We usually watch tv in New Year’s Eve and I wake my husband up to kiss him at midnight. ❤ Happy holidays, everyone - all the best to you in the new year! Elizabeth, thank you, as always, for everything you do for this community. You have helped me since day one and still ten months later. Love you, girl! ❤🎉🎄⛄️❄️

[@samizylberberg5652]

Yes Hanukkah starts December 25th evening this year. And I don’t skip at all. I may miss a day if it takes some time to get my medication in but I can’t control that. I do what I can control.

[@kitzawacki5832]

🦃... your videos are great. I'll be taking my shot all season. I want to get to my goal weight sooner than later lol.

[@CountessofShopping]

That is a great way to look at it! I hadn't thought about that

[@rebeccabamford5505]

🍝🧀 well it’s pasta and cheese. 😊 It was as close as I could get. Still eating holiday foods. just having small amounts. A taste and it’s enough ❤❤❤

[@southernbellebeauty3547]

No skipping here!! ❤ I am on a 10-14 Day schedule for maintenance… but will go back to weekly during the holidays for the extra support!

[@skycreatemagic]

I don’t skip & this has helped me decide to completely stop drinking alcohol. I imagine most are skipping so they can drink more alcohol.

[@CountessofShopping]

Interesting! I had not thought about that component but so true!

[@jenniferdonahue7849]

Not skipping here! This is a lifestyle change and if you are skipping so you can eat more you will never keep the weight off

[@karenday7504]

I won't skip Zepbound. I started beginning of Nov on Mondays. I took my normal injection Monday, the same week of Thanksgiving. I wasn't too worried about "missing out" on good food. I still had my plate of cornbread stuffing and other food, but noticed I only ate about a third. I even stayed away from the sweets as I didn't crave the sugar. I was very happy that I was able to push my plate away and not stuff. So, I am planning to do the same thing Christmas

[@blacksquirrel4133]

😂 You are on today, baby!! Love your personality--so funny! 🍜🥣🥘🫕

[@boehmlauren01]

No skipping for me!! I'm trying to make systemic changes, not a pick and choose type of thing. I have only ever delayed 1 shot by 1 day due to a once yearly, full day work event that was landing on the day I get exhausted. I needed to be alert for meetings and presentations, so delayed by just one day. Went back on track and have not skipped and don't plan on it. Even kept same when I had a cold.

[@katniss4670]

Not holiday related, but I pause medication when constipation is severe, and resume when it’s resolved. Haven’t noticed significant weight gain during the break , but weight loss ceases during this time.

[@CandyStickler]

🍲 oh my had no idea people skip, NO I will not be skipping!! So happy I no longer obsess over food and I definitely don’t wanna start that over the holidays!! I will be staying on my plan and like you, Elizabeth I’ll be enjoying some treats small amounts of them and enjoying my holidays continuing to walk and do my strength training and weights trying to live a sustainable lifestyle!!

[@janetboucher4222]

🍜I'm a little late to the game - watching this video New Years Day! I didn't even consider skipping my medication over the holidays. I knew I would do better with the appetite suppression and to me the idea is to change how I eat and how I feel about food - that includes the holidays! It can't be about the food anymore! If I'm going to continue to lose weight and keep it off, I have to QUIT eating everything in sight - holidays or not. I did gain a tiny bit but to me - that's a win! I used to gain several pounds between Christmas and New Years because of all the food around the house!

[@carolchristensen736]

🧀 🍗 walked 3 miles, weight is stalled but I’m ok with that, I know I’m eating now cause of the holidays and spending more time with family & friends but I WOULD NEVER skip a shot! It’s what helps me control my appetite so I don’t overeat and gain weight.

[@MNoelleA]

I started Zepbound the week of my birthday. No way I’m skipping for holidays. This is a lifetime change for me, not something I can take breaks from. Only reason I would stop is surgery or colonoscopies. I schedule weekly dinners with my best friend the night before shot day, so I feel like eating. Socializing helps prevent dementia, so I’m not missing my time with friends. 🦃🧀

[@jacquelineb8778]

🦃🦃🦃 Heck no,I'm not skipping my medication. I would think that would not be very good for your health/body! ! Am injecting a day earlier though because we're hosting Christmas dinner and I don't want to be fatigued and down for the count on Christmas. This is the first year with all my Christmas baking that I haven't fallen off the rails! In fact when I was frosting the cookies the thought of eating some didn't happen!! That's huge for me ❤❤❤

[@angelamorfin4217]

Nope...not me! I lost 3 lbs. the week of Thanksgiving!!!! I was so tired of hearing how everyone who overate on Thanksgiving were miserable for days!🤦🏻‍♀️

[@katnlou2004]

🦃 Nope not skipping any dose and still socializing. I don’t drink and will let everyone know they can drink & eat as they please don’t stop for me. My husband and I have talked about Xmas Eve and he wanted to make sure I was ok since I will be cooking all day. He knows this would be 24hrs after the shot. As long as I drink LMNT constantly throughout the day and take my gem vitamins I will be ok. 🎄

[@ChelissaMoon]

I’ve done that when I got Covid. I was just not feeling it. Sometimes I delay a day or two but I still feel the slow and steady results.

[@WendyNewman-dj9vw]

Never skip a 💉 . Most important to take my 💉 during the holiday season! I want to be in control!!

[@virginiapricemomma]

You make me laugh 😂 I’ll take all the meats too honey!! I’m not skipping doses but for my sisters wedding weekend (multi-day) I used a lower dose I had stashed away since I knew it’d be a up week anyway I just rolled with it.

[@kendraorndorff7642]

No plans to skip for me. No way! I love the way I feel on Zepbound!

[@AnchorMoments]

Mac and Cheese! Merry Christmas! I will be taking my mounjaro shot on Monday! This us the first Christmas season of my adult life that I haven't gained weight! That is a big win for me! ❤

[@melbethel9082]

You're hilarious 😂 This video made me smile. Wasn't able to watch until tonight, but great way to end the day. Happt Holidays!

[@daniellejoy3199]

I am only in my second week, but I will not be skipping Zepbound dosages. I got goals to slay girl! I do still socialize, but am starting to change the way I socialize.

[@Laureatea]

🍗 Nope, no skipping here. In fact, I just took my shot this morning that will take me through Christmas! I literally couldn’t care less about the food. If I see something I want, sure, I might take a bite, but honestly, the thought of a bunch of food is NOT appealing (and I want to keep it that way! ☺️)

[@ericamarks1228]

NO skipping for me. Small taste testing is key. I actually changed my dish size. No more big plates. medium side and it’s perfect. Sometimes still my eyes are bigger than my stomach. So this helps with this.

[@erinstelter]

Staying on!! Not even a question for me!

[@lisad-x9d]

I’ve never skipped on purpose only for surgery. You can still enjoy everything but just in moderation.

[@tamara8349]

I thought in a previous blog you mentioned changing the timing of your shot to avoid feeling bad during holiday parties? That seems understandable. I don't know about skipping, but making sure you don't feel like crap seems like a good idea.

[@lynngordon5901]

🍝 Doing pasta in place of the mac and cheese emoji. I’m walking the dogs in the midst of doing laundry. Heading out to a Christmas open house at the neighbors later - completely not worried about overeating on snacks because I know I won’t be hungry. I get to enjoy the party instead! Definitely not skipping a dose during the holidays. I feel like there would be too many unwanted effects that could happen because of it. 🐢

[@JillyPlot1]

🍗 The idea of skipping for a holiday or vacation is wild to me! I had to skip it one week for surgery, but that was for medical reasons. This year I have big plans for NYE, but that’s because I’m going to a black tie wedding at the Jersey shore!

[@tiffanyloveee91]

No skipping for me. I move the day around for vacation that’s about it.

[@caseylambdin]

💻 and 🧀 Mac + cheese.. it was the best I could do. But WOW u read my mind 🤯! But I have had to stop it in the past for 1 to 2 weeks and did fine so I think I’m gonna skip a week to enjoy Christmas. Will let u know how it goes.

[@southernbellebeauty3547]

I def see the change since I’ve started. I don’t go out much to eat… I don’t know what’s in the food and don’t want an upset stomach due to rich foods that I’ve cut out.

[@tammyholtz4608]

🍝 (that's the best I could find, lol) I might switch a shot to a day prior or later depending on my schedule, but H-To-The-No I'm not skipping! The sooner I'm at goal, the sooner I can get on maintenance and hopefully save some cash. Friends usually invite us over for NYE but I could go there in sweatpants, haha. I plan to lift weights today and try to get my arm/shoulder muscles to show more definition by March (big school event).

[@gaye-leapleiman7593]

🍜Have forgotten to take my shot - but I have always taken it the next morning. Certainly do not plan on skipping a shot on purpose.

[@joanmarion4076]

That’s crazy! I agree, I’d want to increase!!!

[@themachine7236]

Going out to eat I get to have 2 or 3 more meals from that one meal I would have eaten before. Gotta love doggy bags/leftovers!!!!!

[@MARTHALGEORGE]

I am tracking my habits this next year. Already seeing I am more social. Month of January pretty booked for us. I don't skip shots ever!! EVER!! WOW! It is easy to keep old habits and not learn new habits!! I am focused on looking great.. Fun! ... giving lots of attention to others. Enjoying the beautiful season. Church! Baby Jesus. My list is out of order but Food is bottom of my list. Happiness to all! 🧀🧀🧀

[@charliemeadows1168]

🦃🥣 catching up on sleep today and eating protein 🇬🇧 xx

[@KarenDavis-zn8tv]

E, have you heard the news about the FDA ruling? They decided that the shortage is officially over, and the 503 A and B pharmacies will have until Feb/March to stop selling compound tirzepitide medication. This is such terrible news for those on compound meds. No, I do not skip any of my meds no matter what is going on in my life. I am in this for the long haul and skipping meds does not make any sense to me. Best to you and the family during this blessed Christ filled holiday;

[@CountessofShopping]

Just released my video w/ solutions

[@DianaRumsey]

No skipping my Zepbound. It was rough missing it for a week due to surgery earlier this year.

[@traceybarnes7331]

Just my 2 cents here, but those who are skipping shots JUST to be able to eat whatever they want are just manipulating the "system" and most likely not wind up successful in the end. Just my opinion on this. Love the video and your energy today!! 🍗🍗🍗

[@Jacqua8769]

No skipping over here. I was to fit into a 22/24 dress yesterday. Before this journey I was in a size 28...I wish I would skip a shot for food😂

[@nanna182]

🍲🍗I think most people don't take it on a holiday because of the side effects more than wanting to be able to eat everything. I don't need to delay it unless my side effects day falls on a holiday then I'll take it the day after. With parties, i just take smaller servings and I don't finish it because I can't lol.

[@ifiok25]

🧀 I’m not skipping anything. I’ve lost 20 pounds and not going back to my old ways

[@user-Rero_RiRi]

🦃 🍜 & 🧀 no skipping for me . If i did i would gain weight with my luck. MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy Holidays to all!!!

[@Jesses_Nail_Art]

🍗🍗 In the 7 months I've been on Mounjaro I've only missed one dose, and that was because of terrible stomach ache. In that same time I've taken 2 vacations, 4 business trips and several outings with friends. If I go out I focus on eating as healthy as possible. I've lost 55 lbs.

[@annmeyer4525]

🍗🍗🍗...im down & out with my back until my surgery on Monday 🤕😒. I'm sure I'll be binging your past videos, Elizabeth! ❤

🍜Thanks Countess for my smile today 😁

[@jamieduncan9305]

Mac 🖥️ computer and cheese 🧀 😂 I do not skip! I may adjust by a day or two as needed for vacations, but I don’t skip. I leave for a cruise on Saturday and will take my meds Friday night as always! For 2 week, I’ve done it in my arm and do notice differences. I think for cruise week, I will go back to stomach bc I trust the side effects of that more than the arm since it’s new.

[@kimberlyrogers0804]

🍗 No skipping here! I’ll eat the holiday food, just less of it and I’m fine with that.

[@Maile006]

Mac & 🧀 🦃 I'm on my 3rd walk of the day to get in over 12,000 steps almost there! 😊

[@ClareNorman-gt8vh]

🦃🦃🦃🦃 Im definitely not skipping my shot, I am looking forward to being more in control of what i eat this Christmas, and having a healthier holiday. I wonder if skipping a shot has anything to do with wanting to drink more alcohol? As i know since starting mounjaro I have completely stopped alcohol because of potential side effects.... 🇬🇧

[@Sisilane]

🍗 I have skipped just to save on meds!! Im almost to the end of my trizeptuide journey😢

[@Susansnewera]

I like the control yet taste. Just not a big consumption. Post bariatric 2021, so used to eating small and favorites. My life does not surround food.. Food is fuel. Dates post retirement are more vacation centered as to travel on retirement more important than mid week expensive meal. Christmas meals this year are Christmas Eve prime rib we cook with tasty whole food prepared and Christmas Day fresh blueberry waffles with real maple syrup-along with eggs and bacon. The rest of Christmas is leftovers from Christmas Eve dinner. We do like movie on Christmas Day 20 year tradition and that does involve movie popcorn-outrageous expensive but treat

[@AccountantJaime1109]

🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃 I’m focusing on water and protein today

[@AFitCookie]

🍝🧀 (just making my own emojis.. 😂😂 - pasta & cheese) I’m screaming!! How did I just get to this video! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@nicolelakra]

I don't understand why people are skipping medication for food. Everyone can eat all of those foods - just smaller portions. I guess if I had extreme reaction to food, I could imagine delaying. But, not skipping.

[@christiehansard898]

I haven't skipped a shot- I just move my shot date around to minimize side effects if I'm traveling!

[@GingerGoesGLP1]

I’m not skipping BUT…. I am adjusting the day I take it so Christmas Day isn’t day 1 or 2 or I can’t eat anything except a tiny portion. I want to eat a small portion of food to enjoy the day but only the one day I’m not planning going hog wild 😂. I’m doing so well already and I’m very easily able to moderate and my hunger suppression is super strong hence why adjusting.

[@damerault]

🍗I am not skipping for the holidays. I did skip for my vacation to Mexico though!

[@adriannebothwell871]

No skipping here!

[@nanettegirard]

I'm not pausing my meds for the holidays. No way! 🍗

[@kolchak357]

No skipping my Mounjaro for this guy. I might eat more freely on a holiday or special occasion. I’ll eat some stuff I wouldn’t normally eat, and I won’t panic about going over my normal daily calories. But I would never skip my injection. I’m surprised that many people will skip or postpone. BTW - love the pulled pork at Mission BBQ.

[@luadiva]

skip?!? *clutches pearls* and YES, I WILL WALK with you! Me and my 25lb weight vest are always down to walk 5K! I know, it's just 3.11miles, but doesn't the kilometer conversion make it sound more accomplished? lol!

[@leegordon3392]

No way am I skipping. Didn't skip when I went on a cruise or any holiday. Only if doctor required like for a surgery. 🦃

[@yogapants4108]

🍝🍝 Mac and cheese. That’s the closest emoji. 😂😂 love you!!

[@christinecarlisle1883]

Also, you take magnesium supplement. The bio optimizers I started taking optimizer and I stopped taking my stool softener at night because it wasn’t gonna be pretty.

[@Misschrissiemay]

On week 40, have not skipped one single shot! Skipping to enjoy food seems counterintuitive to me.

[@kellydwyer5339]

I skip when I have an event because side effects can ruin whatever event for me. I have done this probably 6 times in the last year.

[@cdubya1]

No way am I skipping. In fact, I take my meds on Friday and Christmas is not until Wednesday so I may need to push back my shot day so I have more appetite suppression around the temptation day.

[@Trish23]

Thank you!

[@nicolelakra]

I DELAYED my Thursday shot on Thanksgiving because I needed to not be hit by the exhaustion train because I was responsible for the ENTIRE dinner. Thanksgiving is my cooking Superbowl (as I think it is for many others). I delayed it for two days until Saturday. But, I have inched my way forward to taking it on Thursday. I will take it tomorrow (Thursday) to get me back on track since Thanksgiving. I technically did not skip, I guess. I just delayed.

[@CountessofShopping]

Love this! Thine own self be true!!

[@sandragallo7827]

No plans on skipping……I look forward to getting holidays in the rearview mirror…and more weight loss ahead

[@PrettyMePrettyEe]

Im a sensitive to the med...im now doing every 10 days. Sometimes i skip..because the meds stay in my system longer..i will have suppression even when skipping

[@Golden.5555]

I just saw the other day that doctors are having people do 3 weeks on 1 week off

Update I had surgery last week. I stopped Zepbound for 2 weeks and 2nd week I just ate same pattern as zepbound and I did really well considering I was in Las Vegas 3 days.

AMAZING!

[@LipstickNTrees]

Yikes....No SKIPPING!!!

[@elainesolomon6606]

🍜 I am one of your JEWISH friends. Hanukah does collide with Christmas this year. Sometimes it is at the end of November. Changes every year because it goes by a different calendar. Some jewish people celebrate Christmas too. I guess they like the season since it is everywhere ya look. Not me. No tree. Never have. Anyways....That was fun! You could be a comedian. I was trying to remember which restaurant you had talked about yesterday when I drove by a flame broiler, which I have never been but my mind was telling me it is Chipotle and you mentioned it in this video, so thank you. Long sentence. Went to The Vitamin Shop near me. They sell the Protein canned drinks. I bought 1 orange flavor and will try it today after 3 cases of blue raz is running low. Also a lot of Quest items there. Bought 2 small bags of chips and 1 cookie. Also bought a coconut cream protein powder clean and simple eats. Now I get an email that my order from a few weeks ago is arriving on Friday. I finally lost another lb this morning. Yay for me. I am just hoping for 4 lbs a month....this my 2nd lb. Last week I almost forgot to take my shot. That has never happened before but my daughter and granddaughter stayed here for a week while she was getting new floors and that messed up the routine in my brain. Ended up taking it in the evening which worked out well. Anyways, will be taking my shot soon...took it out of the frig in my garage and it is on my kitchen counter. My daughter told me last week that my granddaughter asked her about going out to eat with me and she told her that I don't go out to eat anymore. Which is true, but I would for a special occasion. It is just me here and very easy to keep it simple. I don't know how I would do this if I was younger with a husband and my 2 kids making sure they had their meals. I think that would be hard to do. I do take her out for a burger when she is here and I get a small dinner salad. She tells me I eat so slow. Which is true. I was complaining to my therapist yesterday about PT and how achy I was for the next 2 days. She asked me do I want to get stronger? ok...whatever. Just felt like my balloon got popped over the weekend with my achy thighs.

[@CountessofShopping]
