One Year on the Starter Dose — 87 Pounds Lost, Zero Dose Increases | Zepbound GLP-1

After 55 years of failed diets, I started Zepbound at 2.5 mg — the starter dose. Most people move up every month. I stayed right there. One year later, I'm down 87 pounds. This is the full story: the timeline, the food, the mental struggles, the loose skin, the identity shift, and the last 20 pounds I'm still working on. No sugar-coating, no highlight reel — just real life at 56. If you're over 50, on a GLP-1, or just starting your own journey, I hope this makes you feel less alone. Put your questions and your own story in the comments — I read every single one. 📌 I'm 56 years old, on 2.5mg Zepbound (tirzepatide), and sharing the real story — not the perfect one.
