UPDATE: One Week After the Tolerance Break

When I finally got my Zepbound prescription on Thursday, October 30, I didn’t take it until Friday, October 31. At that point, my weight was 254.4 lbs.

One week later — November 6 — I stepped on the scale and saw 246.2 lbs.

Yep. You read that right.

After all the waiting, all the frustration, all the back-and-forth with CVS, it turns out that the unplanned 1.5-week break might have been exactly what I needed.

Before this, I’d been hovering between 252 and 254 for what felt like forever. But after restarting my shots, the numbers started moving fast:

It’s wild. I lost more in the week after my break than I’d gained during it.
Maybe my body just needed a reset — or maybe the universe was reminding me to chill out and trust the process.

Either way, I’m taking this as proof that:

1. A small pause doesn’t undo progress.

2. Sometimes the “setback” is actually your system recalibrating.

3. I’m definitely keeping notes in case this pattern shows up again.

So, the moral of the story?

The power of Zepbound still compels me — but maybe a tiny break helps it work harder, too.
