Lost HOW MUCH in 30 Days?! Zepbound Weight Loss 1 month Update
Our summary
Kristen, who posts as Feed Crissy, gives a one-month update on taking Zepbound. She says she started in April at 205 lbs and is now 188 lbs, a result she did not expect. She is still on the 2.5 milligram dose and does not feel the need to move to 5 milligrams yet. She says she would like to stay at 2.5 milligrams if it keeps working, and she is wary of climbing the dose steps too fast and running out of room. She says she plans to continue the medication.

What else the video covers
She describes side effects and mistakes. Her period combined with the medication left her with several days of bad gastrointestinal trouble and fatigue. She reports one night of binge eating pizza, followed by bloating and stomach upset the next day. She says she has not vomited. She also says she aims for 100 g of protein a day but has cut out sweets and fruit, forgets to drink water and food, and thinks her calories are too low. She says she eats about 15 to 16 hundred calories when she could probably manage more, and that some days she has to force herself to eat. On the positive side, she says her IBS symptoms have mostly gone, her knee is less crunchy, and her feet no longer hurt in the morning.
The second half covers her plans and her views. She is going on a cruise and has decided to stay on the medication rather than take a week off. She talks about binge eating disorder, ADHD, and her grandmother's habit of making her finish her plate. She responds to a coworker's negative comments about Ozempic and to a news story about a woman who kept vomiting on the drug. She says she is not giving medical advice. She closes by recommending other creators who share weight loss stories.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Zepbound dosage chart: every tirzepatide dose, the escalation rule, what each rung lost in the trial, and what it costs
Zepbound has six doses, 2.5 to 15 mg, taken once a week. The label's rule is four weeks at 2.5 mg, then 2.5 mg steps with at least four weeks on each, to a maintenance dose of 5, 10 or 15 mg. In SURMOUNT-1 those three doses lost 15.0, 19.5 and 20.9 percent of body weight over 72 weeks. Direct from Lilly each rung has a price, $299 at 2.5 mg rising to $699 at 10 mg and above, so the chart below carries the dose, the rule, the trial result and the bill in one place, plus the vial and KwikPen concentrations for anyone measuring in units.
- Zepbound side effects: the label's table by dose, who actually quits, and how it compares to semaglutide
Zepbound's label puts a number on every common side effect at each of its three maintenance doses. Nausea runs 25 to 29 percent against 8 on placebo, diarrhoea 19 to 23, vomiting 8 to 13, constipation 11 to 17. Across the two approval trials, 4.8 to 6.7 percent of people stopped the drug because of side effects, against 3.4 percent on placebo, and most of those who quit did so in the first months, from gut effects during dose escalation. Below that table are the rarer things the label warns about, with the trial rates where it gives them, and the honest comparison to Ozempic's table.
- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
