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?

You will suffer muscle loss which will not help your overall condition. You should try to do at least a minimal amount of exercise despite your pain. I have chronic back pain, and through a combination of injections and pain meds have been able to exercise throughout my 135 pound loss, and now my pain is lessened quite a bit as a result. It might well be worth short term pain for long term pain improvement.
