Mounjaro / Zepbound Journey

  So the plateau finally broke!!  Today I am at 281.6 pounds which is 76.4 pounds less than the day I started Mounjaro (21.3% weight loss!) … which is so crazy exciting!!  I added the total day number Day #160 to my title since my mounjaro weeks are not all 7 days.    I finally did get a box of 15mg Mounjaro after I could not find any 10mg nor 12.5mg boxes available anywhere in my area.  I had two shots of the 10mg dose left but because of the plateau I have been having this past month I decided to alternate between the two doses for these 4 weeks …. I am kind of curious to see how that goes. So in the photo above from this past weekend my clothes are looking loose and a bit oversized which is exciting because these are all smaller clothes than what I was wearing when I started in January! I think I mentioned in a previous post that I have lowered my goal weight since my original goal weight which seemed so unlikely to ever reach is actually approaching and the impossible now seems ver

  WAIT!!!   I think I see some Mounjaro over THERE!!! So complete supply chain FAIL for this month’s refill!   No Mounjaro 10mg (nor 7.5 mg nor 12.5mg!) available for at least 100+ mile radius with no expected availability time frame … Crazy!!! I found one pharmacy who says they have access to the 15mg dose so I contacted my doctor and he wrote a prescription for that dose … he did it quickly but I hope the dose is still available when the pharmacy processes the prescription! I still have two more doses of 10 mg in my present box of mounjaro in the frig but I am getting my refill boxes started early enough to account for the supply chain issues which have not been smooth locally. My weight on the scale has been basically in plateau mode for three weeks but my waist line is still getting thinner … maybe the working out is building muscle?  I ordered a new smaller belt again … I was not excited to have to physically add new holes to this newer belt too!  My original belt that I added 4 h

Nothing special to report weight loss wise … Holding the course as I am on another plateau … but I feel good so there is that.   I have also started working out in earnest which is good.   And as an added bonus I get unsolicited compliments on my losing weight which has been nice.   So with regards to the working out.   I have committed to working out three times per week and I have opted for a gym machine centered workout.    So my dilemma was that I used to workout a lot when I was young but that has been a really really long time ago.   Ego will only get me hurt.   I have to suck it up and do the work to get back into a regular work out shape.   I am 58 and have been mostly sedentary for that last few years with my bad knees and being very very overweight … the last thing I need is to it hurt myself in anyway which would set me way way back. Here is my progressive “work into it slowly” workout.  Day 1:      Elliptical at lowest setting for 1 minute                    Machine workout
