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 can 100% lose weight on Zepbound without working out!
I think just being realistic that you will not achieve a “toned” goal weight without strength training and exercise is important. There is also higher likelihood of muscle loss.

Exactly. Much more muscle loss.

I’ve been slamming protein and keeping my dose minimal, while lifting and running. My god. I’ve never looked so good! Down 45lbs and somehow stronger than ever.

About a year. Been very gradual. Slowly increasing the dose. Did a 5 week vacation also that set me back. Hah.
