Thank you for this video, today makes one week for me,I had a big loss on scale, but I am also doing this to get off blood pressure meds!! I was ecstatic to see a loss on the scale finally after years of not seeing it budge.

Good job 👏🏽

Thank you. I appreciate that you addressed the impacts of behavioral modification. I refuse to count calories. This is my 4th time losing the weight; my 20s was a starvation diet, 30s was Weight Watchers, and 40s was Keto. To be honest, I probably could count the protein and calories in everything I eat, in my head. I remember in my 30s my doctor had me go get a bunch of tests to see where my metabolism was. She was shocked that I was 100lbs overweight cause my metabolism was pretty speedy. My response was "I work really hard at being this overweight.". I spent most of my adult life oscillating from strict regimented diet to all out binges for years. This medication it has really allowed me to quiet the food noise and just concentrate on modifying behaviors for a healthier body. I still apply portion control, prioritizing protein, drinking my water, and moderate exercise(walks and weights). I'm in therapy and trying to modify many of my behavior around food, cause I really want this to work over the long haul. I do weight myself weekly and if I wasn't in the beginning of my journey, I would/will probably push it out further. Now I have my therapist on speed dial when the scale shows I haven't lost weight or even gained weight. I've lost 35lbs the first 12 weeks. Which I honestly think I am gonna stop sharing from here on out. If I had lost less weight and modified my behavior for health, that would be just as successful on my Zepbound journey.

Having a support system is extremely important. One of my promises to myself was to address my inability to maintain a weight loss. Not there yet but once I do, I will be starting therapy.

After watching more of your content , I really wish people starting these medications seen your channel FIRST ! Keep going !!!

Thank you so much!

Thanks Jennell! This was a great video with wonderful tips! I am 22 weeks in and am down 22 pounds. I have had 2 surgeries during this time-- D & C and hysterectomy-- and just cleared for light exercise-- walking or eliptical-- looking forward to swimming and lifting light weights in 2 more weeks. I, too, am hoping to lose about 100 pounds, so this is going to be a long journey, and I am happy to find kind people like you who are willing to share their journey too! I am a new subscriber! ❤

Wow great start. I did some swimming early on to balance with strength training. It’s such a good exercise that I may need to bring it back into my weekly routine!

I’m love this video. Thank you🌻

I’m starting July 1 on the MJ😄🤞🏽50p🙏🏽

Thanks for subscribing! I spend so much time watching and cheering on everyone that will let me on their weight loss journeys! So many deserve the chance to improve their health that have struggled in the past.

👏🏾👏🏾 that's great!! I have 42 in 4 months, and I'm on 5.0 Zepbound. Portion control is my struggle sometimes but the suppression is still there for the majority. Nowhere near my goal.but chipping away at it!!

You got this! It’s crazy how things change on a daily and weekly basis. I’ve had little appetite suppression the past couple of weeks and then bam this week I can only eat half of my dinners. But I am a simple eater and portions for me are not that hard now. In the beginning I was all over the place!

Great tips thanks for sharing ✨✨✨

Thanks for sharing- this was encouraging. 😮 Now- I’m watching again. I really learned from using a food scale. My eyeballs were way off. I make it a game to see if I can get it right and then check… Also, once I make something like a tri-tip roast, or rotisserie chicken, I cut it into 4 oz portions in a storage bag, freeze them, and have been so happy to pull out my exact portion days later, mixing up my protein by how I feel that day.❤🎉

So many people are afraid to use the food scale, which I am not going to judge. We are one and the same, I love to see portions and definitely can’t trust my eyes! 😂

This is the best explanation I've seen so far. Great work.

Glad it was helpful!

I am reminding myself to keep looking at the big picture. Focusing on the week to week is a killer for me too. And yes….the same issue. Had to lose so much to finally fit into the clothes I have been wearing…. before even coming close to wearing the next size down. 😊

I still have issues shopping for clothes! For months I was just adding in a couple staples to my wardrobe as my focus was on losing weight and creating healthy habits.

85lbs. Wowsa. Congrats! What a fantastic accomplishment.

That’s so sweet! Lots of blood sweat and tears to get there but wouldn’t change a thing on my journey. I learned so much about myself.

Slow & steady for me! Almost 10 weeks on Mounjaro (2nd month on 5mg) & I just hit 20lbs lost! Need to increase my activity but I've been making better good choices so far! Appreciate the tips, Jenelle.

Mine happened around 4 months but it was minimal. But I was worried because I did drop a decent amount of weight in the first 3 months but I was proactive and starting tacking some supplements and focused on protein which I believe helped me. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

I’am going on my second week of 🌻

Try to enjoy the journey!

If I have to measure out food, it would totally put me off. I dislike counting calories as it makes the food noise worse. I start thinking about food all the time. That is what I like about Mounjaro is that I reduce my portion sizes without any measuring. Plus, like tonight we had quiche with broccoli and beets in it. My daughter cooked it (she’s home from college for the summer). She would have had to do all the measuring and then figure out potions, nope.

I agree! If I had to try to calculate calories for a big recipe that would not be worth it to me. I don’t always track but there were moments where I stalled for a couple weeks and needed to take a look at my data to day eating habits. But that is why I always preach what works for me may not work for you! How we get to our end goals will be different but the key is hitting our goal!

Thank you for the video. Congrats on your weight loss. Can you please tell me what your starting weight was and how tall are you? I’ve been on Mounjaro for 12 weeks and I lost 26 pounds. I started at 203 pounds and now 177, I’m 5’6. My blood work keeps getting better every month. I’m thrilled. I would love to get down to 145. I also heard but I don’t know for sure that the closer you get to your goal weight it slows down a bit. I don’t know if this is true or not. What is your goal weight also? ✌💙

@JenelleKetcham

My highest weight was 261 but when I started Mounjaro I was at 253 2 months later. I am 5’9”. I would like to reach 153 but ok if I get under 160 and maintain that. It has slowed down drastically over the past 2-3 months but as long as I am not gaining and still building my healthy habits I am fine.

Unclear: are you still on the medication? Plan to get off? Thanks for these helpful tips!

Yes I am still taking Mounjaro. And still chipping away to reach my goal weight. No plans to stop but just decrease the dose over time to find a good maintenance zone.
