Join me on my Weight loss Journey (2025) initiated with tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)
I have started a new weight-loss journey and have decided to use tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) as an adjunct. I have previously used semaglutide. I will generally be eating fewer carbs and processed food and higher amounts of protein. I am eating twice daily with no snacking. Follow along or start your own journey. You can also schedule a weight-loss appointment if needed. Here are my updated weekly weigh-ins with my comments about what I am doing and how I am feeling along the way if you are interested in seeing my progress.
