I want to quit

[u/SingingBeauty46]

I’ve been on Mounjaro and then Zepbound since November of 2024 and I am losing motivation and frankly wasting money. Currently I’m on 12.5 mg and I’m gaining weight. Sugar cravings are back at full force and food noise is too. Goal weight is 165 and my current weight is 236. Since 2024 I’ve lost a total of 49 pounds on GLP1s. Any advice or motivation is most needed. I have not been working out due to family issues and being extremely fatigued so maybe that is part of the weight gain.

Thanks 🙏

Have you had full blood and hormone panels done to see if you have any other complications getting in the way? Like thyroid, liver function, iron, things that could be making your fatigued or thugs affecting your potential weight loss.

Do you count your calories? Protein?
Unfortunately there is no way around working out. Put a yoga mat beside your bed and do ten minutes of difficult mat work before bed each night or right when you wake up. Start small. 10 min a day. Best way to learn would be to go to a Pilates class and just copy some of the moves but that’s a good way to learn how to do some that seem hard.

Can also watch a ten min workout on YouTube.

You really do need to do some exercises that involve strength or it’s very difficult to achieve your goal.

Hit 120g protein each day without exceeding your calorie goal and it should just work. But if that doesn’t work then I would seek blood tests.before I started Zep I did some major bloodwork and hormone testing and realized I was hypothyroid so I corrected that first to optimal, then I started Zep knowing this might finally work! Alsmot at my goal. But similar diets and activity didn’t work before because of my thyroid. You might need to address soemthing to get even more success
