Love to hear your maintenance journey. The food noice, exercise, etc.

[@MadisonLoethen]

I deff plan to share!

[@user-vh1ti6em9q]

@4cockers Please keep us updated. I feel "maintenance" needs much more attention and research. Best wishes for your success. I have enjoyed your videos.

[@MadisonLoethen]

Thanks so much! I deff plan to keep posting!

[@df3335]

Please do keep us posted. ❤

[@MadisonLoethen]

Will do!

I ordered mine from henry meds should be getting it soon, i also struggle with binging and hunger, 3 years ago my insurance covered semaglutide (wegovy)and i lost 70 pounds. I no longer felt hungry and the urge to binge, the food noise was completely gone. Tirzepatide seems to be better than semaglutide so i cant wait.

[@MadisonLoethen]

yay! Congrats!

I’m on ZB as well. The lowest dose is effective. I also use lumen and it seems I need to be fasted for at least 16 hrs to see a 1 or 2. If I don’t sleep well or have other stress, then my fasted score could be as high as 4. Of course with GLP1s, a score of 4 or 5 after fasting could be due to delayed emptying. I hit the ground running and I’m doing my best to implement all the lifestyle changes so I can potentially wean myself off. Food noise is my main trigger.

[@MadisonLoethen]

amazing! So far the intermittent fasting and the lumen have been my biggest tools for maintaining off the meds. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't gained anything but I'm sure I still have medicine built up in my system.

[@nerdincubator]

@@MadisonLoethen That is wonderful!

[@nikkidull6346]

I have been on it for 8 weeks and lost 17 pounds so far. I have only been on the 2.5. I have 3 weeks left in the bottle and not sure if I want to order another 8 weeks. I am kind of like you. I am scared to get off. Not sure what I am going to do.

[@MadisonLoethen]

Congrats on your journey! And ugh I know the thought of stopping is so scary for some reason.

[@VeronicaEmma]

I have been debating this decision for months, I have a very similar background to yours, after 2nd baby, I just could not lose any weight. I’m not obese, but am over the weight that I personally feel comfortable with. The bloating, puffy face all of it. I’m in my early 40’s so I know hormones are playing a role. I diet, exercise, stopped eating sweets, and even take diet pills or phentermine and nothing has worked. I think after seeing your feedback, I may do this. 🙏🏼♥️

[@MadisonLoethen]

I have no regrets! I'm so incredibly glad I did this if that helps. Best of luck!

[@VeronicaEmma]

@@MadisonLoethen I took the online survey and it wants me to need with a provider 😢 I was trying to avoid that because I figure I’ll get denied.

[@vickielawson9138]

Hey girl😀 5 weeks on compound Tirzepatide ,on 10units! I have NO side effects at all.. still crave food throughout the day.. I don’t get that “full” feeling! I’m doing all the things.. eating clean.. portion control.. working out.. I bet I need to increase my Units I’m sure, but I’m actually really nervous to because I’ve had no side effects! Not losing like I see others doing! Question! Is 10 units the equivalent of the 2.5 I hear about so much? So thinking I’ll increase a few Units in my syringe,, maybe to 12 or 15 units.. I almost feel like I’ve wasted my money for the last five weeks😕 Thoughts??? Thanks!!!

[@MadisonLoethen]

Deff talk to your provider! For me and my pharmacy - 2.5 was 25 units. Different pharmacies have different concentrations though. I got mine from Red Rock and Hallandale if that helps.

[@robinp2039]

Week 4 hit different for me. I didn’t increase the dose, I did I take my dose 5 days instead of 7.

[@bevbot1]

Make sure you are getting in a 100g of protein daily. You have to change your eating habits, not just rely on medication.

[@Aurorafitgirl]

I would love to hear your post glp-1 journey bc if I try someday I would not want to take forever. Almost no one has shared the “post” journey

[@MadisonLoethen]

I deff plan to share how it goes!

[@Aurorafitgirl]

Great thanks! I look forward to hearing about your transition.

[@sharonr2593]

Been on 7.5 using only half dosage for 6 weeks. Slow losing the weight, only 5kg so far but found I’m struggling to eat on that dosage. Will stay on it until my goal loss of 12kg more then I will wean to 1/4 dosage until I’m satisfied I can keep it off. It is scary to think about not taking it now. Love the no cravings plus it won’t let me have sugar as it makes me feel so sick. I’m in Australia by the way! That’s for your journey 🙏❤️

[@MadisonLoethen]

Congrats on your journey! Love that you plan to wean down. It seems like that may be much better than going cold turkey.

[@karenmoctezuma2471]

Hi, just found your channel! I am on Zepbound, 6 pounds to go to goal weight, but all my numbers are in the green zones now, I also use Lumen, i havent blown in it for while so now Im re-charging because Im curious … i plan to be on this medication for life since I have chronic obesity, and I know thatbecause of the constant food chater, binging and constant weight gain…

[@MadisonLoethen]

O so interesting to hear from another Lumen user! Do you do intermittent fasting with it or do you still blow green right when you wake up regardless?

[@karenmoctezuma2471]

@@MadisonLoethen I’ve been doing IF for 5 years now, it just works for my body! I was curious and used it this morning and blew a 1, after breakfast (high protein) blew a 2, I have had a complete mind shift , from a couch potato to high protein diet, walking every day and pilates and strength training 3 times a week for one hour, IF and I feel my body getting stronger and more flexible every day.

[@mybabygirl666]

Thank you for sharing your journey. Did you say you always do it on your thighs? Is it okay just rotate injection sites on your thighs only? I too have more side effects when I am inject on my abdomen.

[@MadisonLoethen]

That's what I do! Just different spots on my thighs.

[@mybabygirl666]

@@MadisonLoethen Thank you! I saw that you injected on your inner thigh. Does it hurt?

[@michaelclanton1152]

Do you get good absorption injecting the inner thigh?I do my shot in the morning

[@MadisonLoethen]

I think I do! It has seemed to work fine for me.

[@michaelclanton1152]

@MadisonLoethen I did the shot in my stomach that is said to have the best absorption. I did it 1 other time in 3 months but I am on higher dose 7.5mg torz.Thank for the reply I will keep it in mind for future shots.

[@michaelclanton1152]

The main artery in your leg is near there so I can see how may be absorbed better.

[@MadisonLoethen]

@@michaelclanton1152 interesting!

[@michaelclanton1152]

@MadisonLoethen the meds get absorbed in the veins,arteries but for safety it is not on a injection site list because people,well you know,make mistakes.

[@PBogho57]

How much does the Trizepatide cost from Join Fridays?

[@MadisonLoethen]

$359 a month

[@PBogho57]

@@MadisonLoethenwhat else is included in that price, any kind of support?

[@jeaniepartlow7931]

Just be willing to consider hormone adjustment may not be a permanent change without the peptide continued influence.

[@MadisonLoethen]

Yeah that’s probably the piece I’m most worried about. I did get an IUD recently which can potentially help. We’ll see how this goes 😬.

[@timamiljus7803]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’ll be back!!! I was on last year, and lost 33lbs on 2.5mg, and gained it all back +2lbs in a year. I have been changed my diet and exercise. Once you start these medication, they increase your fat cells. You can look this up for yourself on any medical journal, and you usually gain back even more weight because now you have more fat cells, even if you died an exercise. You’ll be back 😂❤

[@bevbot1]

They do not increase fat cells, its because you didn't change your habits while on the medication. So when you stop without good habits in place - you will go back to eating excess calories and unhealthy foods. Stop spreading misinformation.

[@edsweeney6843]

Congratulations Madison. You look fantastic. I just started yesterday. I've noticed a decrease in appetite already. A little gas, but no other side effects. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance ( aka metabolic syndrome). I'm hoping this can assist with insulin resistance. I have about 35 lbs to loose. I tried diet changes, walk an hour a day, and do 60-90 minutes of resistance training 6-7 days a week.

[@MadisonLoethen]

Thanks so much! Best of luck on your journey!
