So I have to jump in on this one, I turn 60 in two weeks, post menopause, and Hashimoto's aka Hypothyroidism. All the cards are stacked against me, but I take one day at a time and the scale bounces all over the place. An obesity specialist and dietician, have me at 1500 calories per day, 120g of protein and 150 g of carbs per day - I do strength training 3x per week, average 8,000 steps, and drink 80 oz of water a day - you have to eat - your body will absolutely shut down and conserve energy if it is not getting enough calories - I have been on Zepbound for 3 months and down 30 lbs+. Ali well done!!!

I feel like people see the celebrities in size 2's and expect that this medication will work overnight to get the same results. What they don't take into consideration is those celebrities have personal chefs, trainers, and can commit a large amount of their time to working out, and not to mention any cosmetic procedures they get to help them along (not knocking it, just saying, it happens). I will take my one day at a time, slowpoke successes because I'm SO much better off than I was when I started this. I often wonder if their doctors are giving them proper education on these medications.

So sorry for this person! I am 66 and I am losing slower. About 1-2 lbs a week. I even gained 3 lbs one week! But I am just happy I am losing and learning how to eat to live instead of living to eat! Count your blessings instead of the shortcomings and you will find a happier you who believes in themselves. Thanking God for you Ally! You make it all better!

I am 70. Started on 4 weeks of 2.5 compound Tirzepatide. Just started 5.0 I have lost 12 pounds. The lack of food noise and the satiety factor is the miracle for me. Protein, electrolytes, lots of water, is what I am doing. I want the fast loss but this reinforces my journey. Thank you.

I’m 67 yo and I’ve been on Ozempic since Jan 1, have lost 32#. Healthy loss of 1.3# weekly. Am Diabetic T2, happy with improved A1C. No alcohol for me, limited carbs, 96 oz of water, 60 mins daily of walking, strength training, 75-90 grams of protein. Slow process but it works!

I am 62. Mounjaro for 3 months. Have lost 17 pounds 🎉happy with that❤

Great video. I am 10 weeks in, a lot heavier than this poster at SW of 240.8 . As of this morning, I have lost 14 lbs on the nose and I couldn't be happier. I don't lose every week but I know it's relative and neither you body nor the scale cares that it's shot day 😂. It's gonna do what it's gonna do. I can just do my part and see where it takes me. Control what you can control, accept what you can't control and keep going.

Thanks Ali. Yes I am 63 I lost 25 pounds in three months it is slower plus I have Thyroid but I will take any weight loss.the 1 milligrams of ozempic works.❤

You did a great job with this. I had Gastric Bypass 9 years ago and I can relate to having expectation that were not realistic. I lost 50lbs in the first 5 months but my head was saying something different. I currently suffer with low iron and B12 due to malnutrition and eating enough food and protein. My husband is starting Mounjaro today and my hope is to learn from everyone how to help him best. And maybe in helping him I can follow the same guidelines.

Ali help! I am taking my 6 th shot of Zephound losing slowly 69 year old woman. I eat no carbs unless they are in my yogurt etc. I need to discover this thing called complex carbs not stupid just uneducated when it comes to my well being. Spent my whole life tending to others children, spouse, grandchildren and my dogs which I have always had at least 2 more if they needed me. BTW, love Kevin. Please help me learn to incorporate some healthy carbs into my routine with some suggestions! I do not now or have ever drank alcohol. I am morbidly obese and am so blessed to see these wonderful tools in my lifetime, what a blessing. I will listen to any and all of your and this wonderful group of people you have surrounded yourself with. Thank you sooo much in advance. Love from Vegas Deb

Thank you for this video! I’ve been on tirzepitide 15 1/2 weeks and my weight loss is sporadic from week to week but over all I’ve lost an average of 1.6 pounds a week. I’ve moved up a little too fast (from 2.5, 5. To 7.5) because I wanted to speed up weight loss, but what you’re saying makes perfect sense and I’m going to keep pushing forward and stay at 7.5 as long as it’s effective. BTW I was seriously injured almost 2 years ago and can’t do exercises that put weight on my feet but I have begun chair yoga and light weight training. The shots are doing their thing, I’m so happy since I don’t think I could’ve lost the weight after my injury. Keep bringing us your wonderful videos, I enjoy them so much. 😊👏👏👏

I’m starting July 1 on the MJ🙌🏽☝🏽🙏🤞🤞🤞🤞

You are so smart. Really enjoy listening to you. Love you much. Be safe.

My goodness this video is going to help so many Great content information thanks Allie so much

Wow, I think that person is doing great and needs to give themselves some grace. They are losing st s healthy rate. I hope they didn't expect to lose all the weight in one month. That would be unhealthy. I just started my Semiglutide compound on Tuesday and have lost 3lbs do far. I realize it's just water weight and I'm good with that.

I’m 60 and been on Zepbound for 17 weeks. I am down 30.4 pounds. I am averaging 1.78 per week. Some weeks are higher and some just .5. I incorporate complex carbs at least once a week. The boost does help with the loss. I am doing low carb by choice. I feel better not eating breads and pasta but I will have them occasionally. This person should not be stressing. Love your response. Keep up the good work.

You're spot on!

You really know what you are talking about and I love hearing your perspective and advice! Thanks!

Great video!! I agree with your response!! ❤

Wow, thank you for the info re: alcoholic drinks (even just 1!) can set us back 1-3 days! 🤯 I hadn’t heard it put that way before. I’m not much of a drinker (maybe 1-2 drinks in a whole year, if that). But just realized that since starting MJ in March 2024, I’ve had an alcoholic drink more often than usual. While out to dinner from April to mid-June, had 1 drink for my bday & maybe 3 other nights have had 1 single drink w/dinner, just for the heck of it. I’ve already stopped that (simply to keep my restaurant cost down! Lol). That makes sense, so thank you for mentioning that. Going right now to look for the vid you mentioned about the calorie intake & calorie deficit, if that’s the one you said you’d make a video about for me (to help me better understand calorie deficit, etc). Thanks so much!! 💖

Good job

I totally agree with what you are saying. I'm 58, started at 204, and have lost 11 lbs in 8 weeks on .25 Wegovy. I'm only going up to .5 because I haven't lost in 3 weeks. I track everything I eat and drink. If this person isn't tracking, they might be eating more than they think. We all have portion distorted

Thanks ❤

I listen to your videos just because I love listening to you talk. You have just a likeable and charismatic personality 🙂🩵🍸😃. Please never stop making videos 🎉

Very sensible as usual.

Great video! Very well done!

Allie, you are kind, smart and brave to respond to this. I appreciate you!

Nailed it. 🌟

excellent video!

I cannot stomach coffee since starting semaglutide. I drink lots of herbal tea instead.

This is a great and very informative video as are all of yours. Started this drug for my diabetes and really did not have a lot of expectations for weight loss notice mentally when I started to lose the weight, I wanted it to be more aggressive. 😂 my doctor brought me down to reality! 1. I am diabetic, and my weight loss will tend to be slower.2. I don’t have as much to lose as people that way more so my weight loss will be slower so I have been taking that in stride. Patience and perseverance has been my mantra.

I have seen doctors use a low dose antidepressant, bio identical hormone replacement and talk therapy to help kick alcohol while on a GLP-1.

Also..my weight loss ebbs and flows..pur bodies are in constant change. I just make sure to consume whole plant based foods..although not a lt as my appetite is almost nil. I started out at 185....now 146. A few more pounds to go! My NP is going to titrate me off slowly this time as I stopped it in Nov cold turkey which msde my appetite go off the charts. We are all unique

Lol ive lost 16lbs in under 4wks on 2.5mg i still have 2 days left before wk 5 starts Tuesday on 5mg. I was frustrated bc i know a month on IF i can lose 19lbs. Everyone's different and their own WL journey. I have also paid out my pocket though as a diabetic i should have got it free but all the obese individual took it. So i brought 4m supply privately and yes it was hard being disabled on benefit and a single mother. I have to look after my own health the gov country nobody cares, its ur life, take care of it, u only have 1 life. Im excited to see what the next 12wks bring on 5mg. Once i get pass this stage, i will probably move onto 7.5mg for 2months more. Lets see bc my GW is 48kg, im at 68.5kg. 20.5kg to go, mind u i was 105kg end of my pregnancy and lost 29.2kg with D, E n IF.

Thank you for sharing this video with us. Very helpful and informative to me. You are amazing ❤😊

Great info!

Thank you for the information. I am curious to hear more about how alcohol sets us back for days. Is that because of the extra calories or something else?

💯👍🏽

You look great!

Good video

Make sure you eat right drink water, and walk if you can🤷🏽‍♀️

God im losing 1.4 pounds a week and I thought i was doing well. This poster is cutting down calories far too low of course she will be tired? Also she is only on this 8 weeks? I didn't feel the full effects of 5mg until the 7th week steady and slow is so much better

I walked 2 miles a day😊

I have been on the meds since May 22 2024 and have lost 4 lbs and am taking 2.5 tirzepatide. I am also in my 60s. I would take the 13 lbs weight loss joyfully.

🧡🧡

Great video!

13 lbs down in 8 weeks is awful and ‘devastating’ somehow? Really? Wow. 😒 You’ll seldom see a clearer victim of diet-culture and the wrong kind of social media influencer than this poor woman. Hope she frees her mind. I understand that when you do that, the rest will follow. 🎵

I want to lose 50 pounds🙏🙋🏽‍♀️💪🏽👊🏽✊🏼

I just started 2 weeks ago ,next dose is Saturday which is my 3rd vial, out of a box of 4. I have the next set of 4 ,which is the 5mg ones ,I kinda want to stay on the 2.5 is that something anyone else wants to do, so far no side effect that are bad. Lost 7 lbs so far which I know is water , can I loose real weight staying on the 2.5? Or should I just keep on the schedule of progression

you have to eat to loose weigh.t

Listening to this makes me angry and annoyed. Not your side, Ali. Le sigh
