I don't seem to be losing numbers but inches
Thank you so much for this.
I've learned just going to bed does wonders for the late night 'hunger'. If I'm really nuts mixing protein powder into milk with some vanilla helps. Then going to bed. I'm not a regular viewer (sorry, but being honest...) why did you go down in dose? I've lost almost 100 pounds and have another 60 to go to get myself into the middle of normal BMI. My glucose control is good, but I wish it were a little better. Yes, I'm T2D.
New sub! I would love to have some of these recipes you have found along the way
Hi there! Congratulations on your weight loss! I wanted to recommend trying pineapple with cottage cheese. I love that combination.
I took something called OMAD ( 23 hours of no kcal intake ) and lost 39 lbs / 18 kgs, 60% fat ( key to keep hunger at bay ) and 20% from Carbs and Protein. Nice dessert is to freeze cottage cheese for 2 hours - then whip it up to make it creamy and add to it whatever you like.
My ins stopped paying for any weightloss meds July 1, 24 what to do i will have no option but to go to compound trizepatide....ideas welcome
Great advice! Thanks!
For me having enough protein spaced out though out the day keeps the hunger at bay. I take a protein supplement one hour before bedtime and that keeps me from waking up hungry. I have some sort of protein with each meal and if I have planned for a snack it will include some sort of protein. I started off using Mounjaro but quickly switched to compound because I could not be bothered with the whole shortage/insurance circus. Losing weight is challenging enough with all that added drama.
Hopefully your insurer will see the light before too long. Meanwhile, you should have better luck going the route of compound pharmaceuticals. Fortunately, I'm approved through my insurer for at least 3 years with a $25.00 co-pay (Type 2 Diabetes), & much in need of weight loss as well. I'm not even sure I could afford the compound pharmacy prices . I mean to maintain the minimum dosage necessary to lower blood sugar levels & manage my recent Diabetes diagnosis with the help of exercise, and especially through a better diet. Good luck to you and to everyone on their respective journeys! 👍🏽💯😊
...I'm on 2.5 mg. Mounjaro for Type 2 Diabetes, 2nd week, $25.00 co-pay, approved for 3 years, in need of weight loss as well. I'm glad for folks like you Jenelle because my P.A. gave me precious little guidance in prescribing Mounjaro, although admittedly it's my own fault for not watching my weight and eating habits more carefully in the past. I've lost 11 lbs. (first week) thus far, only weighing once per week. My shot day/time is 6am Saturday, moved back from Sunday. I work at night & cope fairly well with my symptoms kicking in between 8pm & 10pm M-Thur. nights at work. I'm staying with Sat. morning because I'd rather not deal with symptoms of mild to moderate nausea in the mornings after work, or at home on weekends besides some moderate fatigue. Experiencing some insomnia, although when I sleep, I sleep better than before & need less sleep. Mild fatigue and nausea, and enjoying making better food choices and a suppressed appetite. Cravings are moderate and limited mostly to moderately unhealthy foods once closer to my next shot date. Even then, I seldom give in to my cravings and the yearning for sweets has all but disappeared. I admit to indulging in a bowl of cheese grits with butter this morning though. Good Luck on your journey everyone! 👍🏽💯🤗🙏🏽
Avocado chocolate mousse w/protein like peanut butter
I used to take mine every Wednesday and loved it. Felt so good by Friday and enjoyed the weekend. However- I got a new job and went back to a physical office vs. remote work. I have switched to Friday morning to have a better feeling work week. 🎉 thanks for a great vid!
I am changing my shot day from Monday to Friday- I want more help during my weekends and also deal with side effects over the weekend.
Saturdays are my shot day too
Thank you! This was helpful. I just started taking Mounjaro this past Satuday. I am a teacher, so this makes the most sense for my schedule. I thought about changing it, but your points were good. I would rather deal with most of symptoms during the weekend when I am free.
Great appetite suppression tips! The water tip really works. I find that an ice cold Topo Chico (or any sparkling mineral water) works like a charm. Also, just distracting yourself by doing a task or taking a walk is a great idea. Also! I love hearing you say it’s not a reason to panic. Too many people get panicked at the first sign of hunger. But that’s the magic moment when your body starts burning its own fat. So it’s a good thing (to a point).
Hope you all enjoy my new video! Let me know if you have changed your shot day since starting mounjaro or zepbound!
Good tips.✨ Thank you.
I just increased to 7.5 from 5 last week. Ugh I feel like I’m not even on it!!! Thinking about food all day every day and HUNGRY. I was on 5 mg for 5 months and was doing pretty good. Almost wish I didn’t go up!!
that happened to me when i went from 7.5 to 10 the first time! i upped my protein and just focused on a routine. But i feel you, its hard after weeks of no food noise!
@@JenelleKetcham did it get better on 10 for you after some time? I hate to admit just took my 2nd 7.5 and the suppression is back HARD CORE! Guess I was just antsy lol
I believe this is the first video I’ve seen of yours! I appreciate your tips especially since I’m a pm snacker and trying to g to break habit. Hope you see this as I’d like to ask a question.. I’m on 5 mg terzepitide compound. I was thinking I need to go up to 7.5 but I may just need to try better to control my late eating and work with the 5mg longer ? Mindful protein / calories etc
That a tough question for me to answer because my approach to this medicine and my weight loss journey is a tad different than most. I like to focus more on my eating habits and the medicine second. But that is only if it is still providing some appetite suppression and little side effects. And if you are still seeing weight loss I would stay and if you are in a stalling maybe try to tweak a couple things and if the scale is still not moving then go up!
Love that you do the dumb down approach - just up my alley
I know at times I overthink things or complicate it but when I started this medicine last year, I said if I was going to have long term success then I need to get back to basics and take advice from others but tweak it to fit my lifestyle.
New sub here! Thanks for the appetite suppression tips! Very useful ❤
Thanks for subbing!
I had Zepbound for a few weeks and before I was getting ready to fill my second box, the savings card system was hacked. I ended up finding a compound pharmacy that I loved and have unlimited contact with my provider and nutritionist. So I’ve been on compound since March.
I am hearing about so many benefits of using a compound service! I have a feeling I will be reaching out to one next month.
@@JenelleKetcham it’s definitely worth checking out. I love I can talk to my provider/nutritionist any time.
compound route all the way. It was such a headache to even try to get prior authorization for mounjaro approved. i didnt wanna keep appealing or all of a sudden not have coverage. Been on tirzepatide 7 weeks now, and on 5mg. glad to be able to stay at this dose ( i just refilled) and plan to titrate slowly which is a great benefit of compound.
Thanks for commenting! I am hearing so many positive things about the compound route and if I hit even the smallest snag getting this medicine I will be going that route.
I do compound- I love that I don’t have to worry about insurance. I just started second month and I’m definitely seeing many many changes in appetite and satiety is incredible.
That appetite suppression and food noise reduction caught me so off guard in the beginning, in a good way. I felt like I could make the healthy decisions without the constant thought of eating all the time.
Video is too long. Calories are irrelevant if you are eating proper food. Maybe bullet point your tips at the end so I don't have to watch 25 minutes of this.
Great feedback. Thank you!
Not losing yet Hope I do. 5 weeks in
Each person can have success at different strengths. Just hang in there!
I literally just took my 1st dose of the compound this Tuesday and I would say it is working. I started at 2.5 and I have had some side effects. My RX was $195.
Compared to prescription costs without insurance, $195 is a great price!
🧡🧡
I just took my 4th shot of compound Tirzapatide. So far so good, I have had decent to good appetite suppression. I’ve lost about 7 pounds in three weeks -that follows having lost 13 pounds on my own since May 5th prior to going onto the medication. For me, compounds are the only choice as I am on a Medicare D HMO plan and it will not cover any type of weight loss medication for me.
Sounds similar to how I started. I did an 8 week challenge and saw about 8 lbs loss and then I started mounjaro. And I wish there was a way for the insurance companies to get on board and cover this life changing medication.
I was on mounjaro for 3 months then zepbound for 4 and now tirzeptide for 4 months due to shortage. I find no change since going to compound. My insurance has never covered my meds.
Reading so many positive compound experiences gives me so much confidence if I have to make the switch.
I started out with the brand name Zepbound. Was paying out of pocket. It was just too expensive to maintain. I switched to compounded tirzepatide and love it! I can titrate slowly, taking my time if necessary. I’ve had great results with minimal side effects
Yes to minimal side effects!
Where did you get your medication from?
@@LAVERNECLARKE-ri8mf I use Ivim Heallth
I’m on both compound and Name brand zepbound depending on if I can get my prescription filled. I’ve done everything from just compound to recently doing 5mg of compound with a 2.5mg pen of Zep to get to my dose 7.5mg. When we get to December I will most likely have to go fully to compound due to cost.
I've been using Eden since day 1. Been on Tirzepatide compound for 2 months, down 30lbs and have never gone past 2.5. Start 228 and now 198. 35 to go. The compound route has been my choice to not deal with insurance drama. It's been well worth it and I'm really pleased
yea, i consider myself very lucky to have not been impacted with shortage issues or having it covered by insurance but i know my insurance may be changing and will probably go down the compound route.
How do you make your protein coffee? Like your videos, just found you.
I use a ninja coffee maker, over ice setting and then I just add a serving of vital proteins collagen peptides and a whole bottle of Fairlife nutrition chocolate shake. Add ice and stir. It is so refreshing and filling in the morning!
Wow too much thinking I don’t do anything like what you do but I do the protein route and staying away from the sugar junk cause I’m also a Diabetic I’m on Mounjaro 15mg. and my A1C has gone done so far so good but stop worrying you’re doing fine!!!
I definitely at times overthink things! Haha. But thankfully my craziness has taught me so much about what does and does not work for me!
Great tips!
I can't find your starting video. I love seeing the before and afters.
I started well into my weight loss journey but next month I will be releasing a video going over my entire journey from day 1 and also prior which lead me to taking this medicine.
Janelle - I'm new to your channel and I love it. I'm on week 1 with Semaglutide and lost .50 lbs. I did lose 11 lbs. following Noom 7 weeks prior & before taking the medicine. I was hoping it would be at least 1-2 lbs. I don't want to get discouraged. When my doctor suggested I Zepbound (but my insurance won't cover it) I never thought of it and she gave me so much HOPE. As I was listening to you, you were watching what you ate, not just what you wanted. So thank you for a great video.
Great info. Thank you.
Fabulous video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Love from Texas ❤
Thanks for this video. It is really helpful to me. I'm struggling right now. I did Zepbound for 3 months, lost 30 pounds. On June 21st I took my 12th shot. Ever since then I've been struggling to get more medication. My terrible insurance and the shortage have made me nuts. so I switched to Mochi Health to do compounded Tirzepitide. That went fine except my med wont arrive for 2 more weeks. I am determined to NOT fall apart waiting for the med to get here. Ive beem counting my calories and protien grams, drinking 80 ounces of water exactly as I did for 12 weeks on Zepbound. I've got to hang in here until I get the med.
You’ve got this! Don’t stress and just try to keep the momentum.
You're talking real life !! I appreciate you.
Thank you for talking about everything I'm going through on my Mounjaro journey! Almost everything you shared, are my struggles. Thank you!
Sugar and processed foods are one of the most addictive drugs in the US. Im reallt trying while on this to use this peptide to detox from the foods and processed sugars. I have replaced the sugar for pure dark chocolate, Ice cream for yogurt mixed with organic raisin bran and just implementing natural sugars and healthy carbs. It really helps to replace and not buy it. in one sense or another our foods have made us addicts. This realization angered me and makes me want to invest in my own choices of what goes into my body. Good luck on kicking the addiction!!❤
Thanks! I started a challenge in July to cut out all “high sugar” snacks that keep popping in and out of my life! Haha it’s going a lot better than I thought. And I fell less bloated and overall more energy. But I know this will be a life long battle but I am ready to face it every day. Thanks for the kind words.
what is a fairlife shake?
They are called Fairlife nutrition shakes aka protein shakes. I get from sams club in a chocolate flavor but you can get them at other stores as well. It’s one of the few premade protein shakes that tastes like chocolate milk.
