At 55, I Lost 25 Pounds on Zepbound. The Biggest Change Wasn’t the Scale
At 55, I’ve lost 25 pounds on Zepbound, but the biggest change has not been the scale. The biggest change is that weight loss finally stopped feeling like a lifelong battle. In this video, we’re sharing a five-month Zepbound update from both sides of our marriage. I’m talking about my starting weight, current weight, dosage, side effects, food noise, cravings, non-scale victories, traveling with Zepbound, and why this journey feels different from every other weight-loss attempt. Wendell is also sharing what he has noticed as my husband, especially since he is not taking Zepbound. We talk honestly about how my relationship with food has changed, what that looks like on cruises and vacations, and what husbands may need to understand when their wife is taking Zepbound. I also answer some of the questions we received after the first video, including how I travel with Zepbound, how I manage food on vacation, what I order in restaurants, how I think about side effects while traveling, and what my biggest non-scale victories have been so far. Now, five months in, my current dose may be wearing off, my doctor has called in 7.5 mg, and we may be facing changes with insurance coverage. So this is not just a weight-loss update. It is a real conversation about what changed, what still feels uncertain, and why continued access matters. This is my personal experience only and is not medical advice. Please talk to your own doctor or pharmacist about medication, dosage, storage, travel, side effects, and whether Zepbound is right for you.
