Zepbound stronger than Wegovy?

[Bobby2005]

I tried WeGovy for about a year and a half, from late summer '23 to the end of '24. The insurance stopped covering the 1mg dose for upkeep, but they DO cover 10mg of ZepBound. It feels much more effective than WeGovy; so much so that I'm using it every other week.

Great job!

Amazing results! What's really striking is how much younger you appear.

That's fantastic! I'm just beginning my journey and also in the 250s. I'd be thrilled to just lose 40-50 pounds.

I was secretly hoping your 'after' photo would be a re-enactment of the first one, standing by that grill! Haha!

You're aging backwards! Well done!

You're a true inspiration! Enjoy your healthier life!

I imagine your knees and feet are feeling a lot better now, too!

 

[FoodStrong153]

You look so much happier! Big congrats on shedding the weight!

 

[Vegas_Slim]

How tall are you? Awesome work man. Congrats again.

 

[A1C-Slayer]

Way to go!

 

[Ratched77]

Wow! You seriously look like you've knocked off 15-20 years! Huge congrats!

It really feels more potent, huh? In what ways? I'm asking because I feel like the semaglutide is losing its effectiveness after quite a while, even though I'm just on a maintenance dose. I don't want to keep having to bump it up and up.

 

[JAX-Viking]

Any side effects?

I hear you. That's what happened to me with Ozempic. Switched to Mounjaro a month ago and it's working great!

Any side effects?

For me, the side effects are similar but milder than with Wegovy. Mostly just occasional nausea if I eat too much fatty food.

I've definitely noticed some changes in how I feel, even just after a few weeks. Clothes are already fitting looser, and I'm not as winded when I'm moving around. It's encouraging!
