Hey all! 
45-year-old man here, living in the NYC area, and glad to have found this place.
Right now I'm using brand-name Zepbound, and my insurance is picking up the tab (at least for the moment
). The prior authorization runs out when the year ends, so I've begun learning about every option out there in case the coverage goes away. I figured it's smarter to get informed now instead of rushing around later.
So far I've had 6 shots. My starting dose was 2.5 mg, and this past weekend I gave myself the second 5 mg injection. Honestly, the results have been better than I expected—18 pounds are already gone, and I've got roughly 30 left before I hit my goal. I'm doing my best to do the right stuff- racking up steps and lifting weights a few times per week. Hitting my protein target is a struggle when I simply don't feel hungry enough, but on the whole I'm really pleased with how much control I have over my eating these days.
On top of the weight loss, it's been really interesting to go through things like less food noise and to notice how much simpler it is to choose healthier options. I'm still figuring things out as I go, so I can't wait to gather tips, hear what everyone else has been through, and hopefully lend a hand to others too.
Can't wait to meet you all!
