   Keep logging this week, make time for it, stay on track with protein and water and make sure i get enough calories in.

2. Belle member

   My goal this week is to survive my peptide restrictions until my colonoscopy next Monday. I know it’s not quite in the spirit of Goal Setting but I do have to stop everything for 7 days. 😳😄😄

3. Belle member

   @member Lange I did mine earlier this year. Drink alot of water, make meals ahead to be ready if hunger hits. Have healthy snacks available. It went by fast for me, hope it flys for you. I started my tirzepatide the same day of my colonoscopy, but every doctor is different. Good luck.

4. Belle member

   Focus more on protein and drink more water

   Continue to improve blood sugar and metabolic health. Considering the Hume band to track sleep and metabolism. Getting blood panels this week. Final stretch to goal weight. Excited

6. Belle member

   @member congratulations on your final stretch, hope you get there soon.

7. Belle member

   @member thank you friend! I am concerned the food noise will come roaring back. Unfortunately, due to family history I have had to do this every 5 years since I turned 40. A long time ago 😄

   Complete a minimum of 2 strength training sessions including ab exercises. I’ve had trouble motivating myself to do strength training since my personal trainer changed jobs a couple months ago. I’m trying to do it on my own either at home or the Y. I have good intentions but have trouble following through. I actually did an arm and ab workout yesterday. I feel it’s the only piece of the puzzle I’m missing right now. Want to lose fat and not muscle. 💪 😊

   @member Lange yes me as well, I have a sister that died from cancer. I do one every year since turning 50. Im kind of use to it now. I keep myself busy during this week, it was easier then I thought it would be. Stay strong.

10. Belle member

    @member I’m very sorry for your loss. I will get through it - just grumbling about it today 🙄

11. Belle member

    @member Lange Best of luck as you move through the week. I recently completed my first colonoscopy and was pleasantly surprised to not experience excessive appetite even though I had to go 16 days between shots. You can do it, take one day at the week should pass quickly.

12. Belle member

    My goal for this week is to monitor how I feel regularly. I'm titrating up to 7.5 mg today and want to be mindful of how I'm feeling. Given previous dose experiences I'm not expecting to feel any different really.

13. Belle member

    @member holy cow! 16 days? Did you have to start back up at a lower dose? You are a rock star!! I want the week to go fast until I think about the holidays coming up 😂😂. Okay, I can do this - thank you!!

14. Belle member

    @member how long did you stay at the lower doses?

15. Belle member

    @member Lange No, my doctor said given my lack of side effects and length of time of that dose so far, that I needn't worry. What she told me was generally if someone has acclimated to a dose with little to no side effects she doesn't worry about titrating them unless they are off for more than a month. Of course, I think each provider is a little different, and each patient is different in terms of what they experience. For me, I've never had a side effect with Zepbound (so far) other than weight loss and constipation.

16. Belle member

    @member Lange thats ok, this is a safe place to do just that.

17. Belle member

    @member I’m the same - and actually the constipation is a whole lot better than when I started. I have had to reduce taking Miralax because it was going the opposite way. It sounds like you have a doctor who knows what she’s talking about. Good for you!

18. Belle member

    @member you are so right! It’s times like this when I appreciate this community so much!

19. Belle member

    My goal is to get back in the gym (2 strength training and walking a mile 5 days/7) and up my protein intake at lunch.

20. Belle member

    @member Lange I was on 2.5 mg for 3 months and 5 mg for 6 months.

21. Belle member

    @member I’m sure you’ll do great at 7.5!

22. Belle member

    Plenty of exercise/activity, continue making best choices available, packing for trip, keeping FOCUS…… 😃

23. Belle member

    @member to go completing arms and abs yesterday. 💪🎉

24. Belle member

    @member ❤️😉

25. Belle member

    @member Lange oh my goodness! Looks like some great advice here. If anyone can do it, you can!

26. Belle member

    @member aww thank you dear friend!

27. Belle member

    LESS reliance on protein bars….even though barebells are so freaking delicious

28. Belle member

    @member that’s a big one

29. Belle member

    @member bradberry you go!

30. Belle member

    @member Lange PS: I was without GLP-1 for nearly 2 weeks during the hyalo process-replacement. It wasn’t as scary as I imagined. It’s doable!

31. Belle member

    My goal for the week is to eat 85% Whole Foods. This shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for me. The biggest challenge will be the protein shakes and bars I use to stay on track with daily protein. It’s on!!!

32. Belle member

    @member you go! You will do it!

33. Belle member

    @member okay - I have to go without and I will survive it! I’m trusting all of you! 😄😄

34. Belle member

    @member will have to channel my inner Niya!!! Hahaha
