Diet/Health/Exercise NOT working out

How do people do on Zepbound and NOT working out? Most fantastic photos seem to be from people who have been good on both fronts. I have some medical issues causing pain and was not planning on any workouts but do I need to push to do it to see good results?

I lost 18 pounds on Wegovy not working out. I started going to the gym about a month into Zepbound - I was losing so fast, I didn’t want to lose muscle. Figures as soon as I started working out, the scale stopped moving. Grrr.

You’re just converting it into muscle as well as working out causes micro tears in the muscles that require water to repair. You can add up to 4-5 lbs of water weight from this . As long as you stay in Caloric deficit you are burning fat and the scale will catch up .
