Hello!
I just want to share my story and maybe ask for some advice. I started my weight loss journey in November of 2024 with a SW of 273lb. I finally saw a weight management Dr and he put me on Zepbound. While on the meds, I lost about 56 pounds! My insurance has stopped covering it, so I have not been on it since early December 2025. I've since gained and lost a few pounds and am currently sitting at 5'4" and 221lb (F).
The biggest benefit I had to being on a WLM was the reduced food noise. I definitely took my time on it for granted and did not change my eating habits as I should have. I definitely ate less, but still like shit. My immediate reaction to the meds not being covered anymore was to look for an alternative that would be. My Dr suggested that I go on phentermine to help with the food noise, which has been driving me absolutely crazy.
I'm currently eating in a calorie deficit of about 1600 calories per day, I work out 3-4 times/week, and I walk extra during the day. Starting my deficit is how I lost the aforementioned "few pounds" I gained post-Zepbound. I was religiously tracking calories with a food scale for about a week but found myself quickly becoming obsessive over it. Calorie counting actually made my food noise worse than before. Right now, I'm meal prepping on Sundays for the work week so I know what my lunch calories will be every day, eating the same thing for breakfast, and calculating my snacks and dinner day-to-day.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or any similar experiences! I feel like I'm in over my head here and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.
I don't have a "goal weight" perse, but I'm definitely looking to have a bulkier looks-like-I-lift-weights physique rather than a slim one.
TL;DR: I used to be on a GLP-1, I'm new to this, and I'm worried I'm doing it all wrong pls help
