🐢🐢🐢 only 16 pounds left to go after losing almost 70 lb . I’m in this for the long haul. I now believe being healthy is a skill we can learn. There is no real end point. Enjoying the journey ❤

Congratulations! That’s an Accomplishment!! 🎉

1 pound is 4 butter sticks. That always makes me feel better😀

🐢 Turtles unite🙋🏻‍♀️. I am definitely a turtle and I’m working hard on being ok with that. Today was my second Saturday back at water aerobics (only day my work schedule allows) and I’m proud to be back at it. I have fibromyalgia and it’s been a workout that my body can handle that doesn’t cause a flare. I’m the youngest one in the group but I love all the senior ladies there. They make me feel so welcome and are so kind.

🐢 I am a turtle too. It's frustrating at times but then I remind myself "I'm still going in the right direction" ❤

🐢🩷🐕🩵 im creeping along lately at 1/2 lb a week, but I celebrate it! Almost 6 mos and 37 lbs down. About 1/2 way to goal. It’s. Marathon not a sprint! Love to you!

🐢🐢🐢 I started this journey April 22 2024 after watching all your video’s Countess of shopping. I took in as much as possible and your tips have been very helpful. I love this group such kindness and support. I remember looking 👀 at myself in the mirror 🪞 and “thinking who are you “. Now I feel hopeful for a happier heather me. My 29 year old daughter said she was excited to see me like she’s never seen me before. She is engaged to be married and I am looking forward to having those special pictures with my daughter. I have hidden myself from pictures but not anymore. I’m going to be in the pictures. Thank you for all you do Countess of Shopping 🛒 Blessings to you and your family 🙏

🐢perfect emoji for me. I’ve got so much to lose and I’ve basically been stalled for 6 weeks despite a dose increase.

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🙋🏽‍♀️Turtle here! Hi Queen 👸🏽 it’s my second week back on MJ 2.5! Today was my shot day and I’m not really hungry at all which is a switch for me! Having lean protein has been my savior! Having shrimp 🍤 and lots of other fish and veggies is really helping ❤ Love you as always 💖💖💖🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

🐢 I’ve increased my steps by 1000 per day. Thank you Elizabeth

Today I had my first telehealth appointment with Fridays- Tirzepatide will be on its way soon and I will start this Glp1 journey on June 29th once my school year ends. 🐢

I’m down 20 lbs in 3 1/2 months- been on the 5 for the last two due to shortages, but I’m staying at 198… I’m gonna keep on keeping on because these habits are for life not just to make the numbers move 🐢

🐢 Love your content! Thank you!

🐢 thank you for your encouragement and energy!

🐢 I feel like the only turtle sometimes. But some folks in the FB group do mention their slow loss. The weight loss photos of before and after of so many successful queens is also very inspirational 🎉❤

🐢 New to Mounjaro and starting my second month. Staying at 2.5 another month because the 5mg dose isn’t available. Seems to be working for me and my goals, and I’m thrilled. Definitely feel that slow and steady wins this race. Can’t wait to see what my blood sugar levels show in a couple of weeks. Thank you for all of your videos. My husband laughs at my information “overload”, but I find it interesting and inspirational.❤

🐢 badly needed this, thanks!!!

🐢 Re-watched this video because I feeling my weight loss is slow, thank you for the encouragement that going slow is good too!

🐢 love your content. On zepbound for 6 months and lost 28 pounds. Currently on 10mg for last month. I workout 4 times a week and generally eat healthy. Hopefully will lose another 15 pounds. Current weight 147 goal weight 130. God bless you Countess!!🙏🦋💕

Turtle. I just wanted you to know that I look forward to your videos each day🌸keep up the good work:)

🐢You always have the best information! Thank you!

🐢 Love the positivity and encouragement!

Turtle. For sure... Today? Focusing on protein and getting my water in. Just about to go on a walk. Thinking about hitting the gym for some weight training.

🐢 Thanks for your video xx

Yay! Hi Elizabeth love to see you! I bought the optimizer magnesium and the chia collagen and arrae bloated supplements and Gem vitamins 😊I’m bad with my protein ugh need too up it! Sending hugs ❤ I get hungry at times too🐢❤🐢🐢

🐢🐢very informative information. Thank you!!!

🐢 you’re doing great!!

Turtle. Thank you for prayers. Love watching you

🐢 Thanks, Countess!

🐢🐢🐢 watching from the UK, love your videos! I've just started (week 2 on 2.5mg) your tips and recommendations have been a huge help! X

🐢 I just started my second week yesterday and I’m not hungry at all and for me it’s been amazing and helpful to not overeat. I need to get more water in and I started to workout. I absolutely thank God that I found you. ❤

🐢 I look forward to your videos SO much. Your personal stories and experiences are incredibly helpful. I plan to push my protein and water up past the minimums. Wish me luck getting past my weight stall! 🍀

🐢 Taking my bioptimizer magnesium, sleeping and going so much better!! Just finished mowing my yard and cleaning up! Pooped! Had a protein shake and lmnt water, breaking watching your video so refreshing!! Thank you! ❤

🐢🐢🐢 thank you again! Will get tracking properly as I’ve been slack with this, love your videos, Charlotte 🇬🇧 xx

I just gave myself my first shot of zepbound 2.5. I am now following you. Thank you

🐢 I definitely find that when in a stall, I eat more and it whooshes. I am a whoosher like you 😂 since I’ve found that out, it’s not quite as frustrating so I’m good with it!

🐢Middle of week 2 on T for me. Still trying to navigate how much to eat, how to get my veggies/fruits in and when to stop and today I felt off. However, my plan is to get back to the gym real soon. Thanks for all of your content. Very, very helpful!!🙏

🐢 I love your videos! I also just joined your group and it is amazing! I just started my mounjaro journey about three weeks ago. I didn't think the 2.5 was doing much for me because I switched over from Rybelsus( I'm type 2), but it turns out that I actually lost 7 lbs! Yay!! I will titrate up to 5mg ( it's already in my fridge😊) next week. I'm planning to slow down and stay at 5mg for a few months. The last couple of weeks I've also went low carb and started following weight watchers! Thanks again for all that you do for us!

🐢🐢 I need to work harder on my tracking and I thank you sooo much for inspiring us!

love your shirt, can you share where you bought it?

🐢slow and working hard. Will find a new PT place and go to the gym. Thanks E. You inspire and challenge me.

Not losing need to redo my fitness pal. Thank you Countress again for the information.

🐢 thanks for helpful info 🎉

🐢 Feeling much better today,thank you for praying. I walked today was up early this morning. Took my shot in the afternoon so that was a change.

🐢 Thank you for the Prayers

🐢 great info. I am one of those people who can have days/times where I don’t eat enough and it’s not necessarily from the appetite suppression but just out of habit from diet mentally. Hitting my protein numbers helps the most. For the entire month of June I am doing a running/walking challenges where you have to run or walk at least a mile a day - so I’ll be running later this afternoon

🐢🐢 needed this one today. Had to be honest with myself and think about my protein goals. I haven’t been as focused as I was and it’s slowing my weight loss. This week I am going to be laser focused on hitting my 110-130 grams of protein a day, and always try to move more!

I seriously watch all of these videos over and over again for motivation!!! 🐢🐢🐢

So grateful to be apart of your journey Ashley ❤️. Big hugs friend!!

🐢Hi! You’re looking fabulous. So happy you have a positive attitude as you push through towards your weight goal. I’m walking and working arm weights today.

🐢🐢🐢 I did 63 minutes of exercise today. Did cardio (walked 1.14 miles) and did strength training for arms. 💪🏽

🐢 staying positive…started with Mounjaro 12/4/23. As of this week, down 52 pounds…slight stall, but finally got my Zep prescription after a very long wait due to the shortage. I think I’m lucky I’ve never needed to go higher than 5mg. I do track everything I eat via the WW app…and yes, some days it’s hard to eat enough.

🐢🐢 slow and steady wins the race. Walking and listening ❤

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 Thank you for the information about Fridays! I was doing well on Zepbound but then it was unable unavailable as you know. Got my compound and took it today. I am an RN so I don't have a problem with needles. I would love some prayers! I want to stay on my weight loss journey and be successful!

Praying it goes well for you! I’m on Fridays too. They are great! I was on Zepbound too and now on the compound and it’s going very well. You will do great! God bless.

🐢🐢🐢… making sure to wear my sunblock and a hat before mowing the lawn, keeping up with my electrolytes while out in the sun, taking care of my moms yard too. Protein intake always and wishing you a very happy weekend. 😎☀️🩷

♥️🐢♥️ cleaning & decluttering

🐢 taking a long walk while listening!

🐢 🐢 🐢 I walked 1.1 miles this morning. My hip has been bothering me this week, so I had to start doing less. Doctor appointment with orthopedic doctor on Thursday. I started adding veggies and fruit to my everyday eating. (Something I have never done). I use Apple fitness plus for lifting weights and try to do one class 3 days a week. I have an Oura ring too, love the insight I get from it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

🐢 hey new here been on mounjaro for 5 mos. Have lost 32 lb but have staled the last two weeks . Trying to stay positive!!

I love my Oura ring, too.

🐢🐢 Today I did yard work. not that much of a work out but at least I was moving. B4 I would have been sitting in the house watching TV and sleeping. 🤭. Thank you for another Awesome video! ❤

🐢 lost almost 30lbs. Back and forth with the Wegovy shortage. You look great by the way! ❤

I love turtles 🐢 They r wonderful so I don't mind that I am one. My stall has been rough but you have a video right when I need it . Thank-you!! 🐢🐢🐢🐢

🐢 I needed this video! Been off my game the past 2 weeks and had a 2lb regain. I'm trying the viral ckn crust pizza tonight but using lite Alfredo sauce, sun dried toms, real bacon bits and lite ital cheese 🤌

🐢 I'm going on 3 weeks of 2.5 mg of zepbound with no major side effects... not a ton of appetite suppressant either. hmmm! still eating well... trying to increase my protein intake for sure. will up the exercise once I get my peloton set up again .. miss cycling!

Lol love it I’m a turtle 🐢 😅thank you for being so supportive and caring!!❤

🐢🐢🐢 Another informative video Elizabeth 😊 question about the bioptimizer magnesium supplement with regards to sleep; how many hours before bed do you take it for the best rest? I'm hoping that this can take the place of melatonin, but I just need to know when to take it for the best results. I can't wait to receive my order. Thanks!

🐢 🐢 I agree that everything has changed from house cleaning/organizing, cooking, exercise and I want to keep moving I rarely sit on the couch. Life changing medication!

Thanks for all the tips. I took my 4th injection last night 2.5 I'm down 11 lbs 🐢🐢

🐢 getting steps today

Luv your Gucci blouse ❤

🐢 🐢 I'm finishing my 2nd week on tirzepatide. I have lost 3.1 lbs. I've started increasing my walking to boost my weight loss journey.

🐢 always look forward to watching your videos - helps to know others are at turtle speed too 😄 - "slow and steady" my fellow turtles - we can do this!

🐢 definitely think I am in the turtle group but I think that makes it more realistic for me!!

🐢 Slow and steady wins the race. 20 lbs in 9 weeks on MJ. 15-mile bike ride, 1 mile kayak, and 3-mile run/walk this weekend! Loving the Magnesium, btw. Sleeping like a princess. 👸 😘

🐢🐢🐢When I first started on MJ last September, I was losing about 2 to 3lbs per week. After losing 65 pounds in 10mth, I now lose about half a pound a week. I'm good with that as long as I'm still going down. And with the Renpho scale (that you recommended 😊), I can see my BMI and Body Fat % continuing to go down. So that's a good motivator.

(Zepbound) 2mths in...still on 2.5mg because 5mg was not available. Currently stalled for this week. Starting pilates reformer classes tomorrow. 🐢

🐢🐢Elizabeth you continually make it okay to be a turtle and help me realize it’s okay I’m moving slow and steady !!! Trying to find physical activity I love !!

Thank you so much for this comment. I needed it today. Youve motivated me, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

🐢🐢🐢. I’m stalled , but since April 1 I’ve had some issues that have prevented me from getting any activity in my daily life. That has improved and I hope to get started walking soon. Hopefully that will get me losing again.

🐢@CountessofShopping I wanted to share a recipe from Eating Well that we love for turkey burgers with spinach, feta & tzatziki. So good! And small changes like fat free feta and low calorie buns help too. Our favorite tzatziki is from Walmart, their Marketside brand in the produce section.

🐢🙏 Bioptimizers magnesium really does help me sleep too!

I don't see a link for the free wall pilates, can you please DM with it? Thanks. 🐢

🐢 Thanks

Turtle-slow n steady goes the journey. Lost 3lbs over a get away mid week trip where I wasn’t eating same same home food?? Maybe “long walks on the beach” did the trick? No matter how it comes off, I’ll take it

🐢 Weight is in a stall pattern. Really working on increasing my water intake.

🐢 I'm going to get 20 minutes indoor walking done today! Yes2Next is my favorite YT channel for workouts.

I was 200lbs In May of 2023 when i started the mounjaro I’m at 158lb and I’m at the 15mm. I have 18 more lbs to go but I’ve been stuck for 3 months at this weight and can’t seem to loose more. I walk and exercise and my diet is good. So it can be so frustrating at times

🐢🐢Slow and steady wins the race

🐢The Bioptimizers sleep breakthrough is the only thing that has helped my constipation. A total game changer. My goal for this week is consistent sleep.

🐢 Adding in exercise for the next 35 lb loss. I've made it to 50 lb loss.

🐢🐢🐢 Focusing on water and steps this week!

My doctor wants me to stay on the same dose for 2 months. Slow and steady…don’t push the dosage up till I really need to.

I’m definitely a 🐢 this month. 🙏🏼

🐢🐢🐢thank you!

Upping protein & water intake

🐢 This was a great video. I’ve been loosing and gaining the same 2.5 pounds for a month now, and it’s getting increasingly more frustrating.

If you are only losing 3 pounds per month and therefore not losing muscle most likely do we still need to eat 109 grams of protein?

i was on wegovy and lost and now on zepbound but i want to eat at night ,im not losing weight. I need help i was 154 and now 172

🐢 I had a great meeting with my trainer, and she talked about the laws of diminishing returns. She said everyone stalls at some point. So she has me increasing calories and eating more maintenance for a month. Then going into a deficit. The body isn't meant to be in a constant deficit. I struggle with great appetite suppression for a while ironically when due to the shortage I went from 12.5 to 10. My body seems to like 10. On 15 I would be halfway through the day and no desire to eat. It us amazing the different reactions to these meds. But one thing I can say I haven't gained a lot like in the past. Maintenance isn't bad either. But it is hard for my mind to comprehend!

@CountessofShopping my pleasure I am blessed to have a trainer with a Masters in exercise science , and her husband is dietician with his Masters as well. She is well versed in glp 1s. But her telling me that sometimes the body needs a break from calorie deficit was refreshing.

🐢🐢🐢🐢 Thanks for the information.

🐢🐢🐢 every one wish lose 30lb in 1 month, but we need to learn it is not the best for us. I WISH it too, but rather be slow and have my body in his place lol 😆 😂🎉 so committed to do it the best for me ❤❤❤ thank you Elizabeth for your awesome help. Love your fb group as well. Can't imagine how or where I'll be with out you.... ❤

🐢🐢🐢🐢 Lost 30 pounds and on 160 units of long acting insulin daily still. I seriously saw appetite suppression this week. I guess I am going to be one of the slow losers due to insulin resistance still. Good news A1c is not 14 it’s around 6. My average glucose this week was around 110. Anything under 150 is a good biometric measurement. Right now chopping cauliflower to roast . Rest of family wants corn and potatoes.. so I might chop radishes next and make radish puff with cheese and egg. Might even try the cottage cheese and egg flatbread hack
