These posts mean a lot. Really appreciate you sharing your journey! Looks like you went up in dosage monthly until reaching 15mg where the real drop happened?

Been on this for blood pressure control, not anything else. Among the meds for hypertension, it stands out - most of them pack on weight but this one actually doesn't. Plus it triggers AMPK activity which is metabolically helpful.

You look incredible and that dress is stunning! I switched from Ozempic (only lost 15, then gained it back) to Zepbound last week. Your before and afters actually make me feel optimistic about my own shot.
