What else the video covers
She says exercise is going well. She and a family member have been doing 15-minute walks, and she has been doing her own short routine a few days a week. The night before filming, she and her best friend went to a dance class in Mobile without knowing the steps, and she says she laughed hard enough that she felt nauseated. She says she then started taking Zofran because the nausea was bad enough that she was dry heaving. Her main struggle is water intake: even with cucumber or lemon, she says she falls short of her goal every day. She and her sister also added a stool softener to their routine.
She stresses that she believes the weight will come back if she stops the medication without changing her lifestyle. For that reason she says she is focused on adding exercise and eating fresh fruits and vegetables, with mostly grilled food. On days when eating is hard, she says they supplement with Boost and extra vitamins. She closes by asking viewers to share what they are adding or removing, and says her approach is based on viewer suggestions.

- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
- Who qualifies for Wegovy and Zepbound? The BMI rules, the conditions, and what your plan adds
You qualify for Wegovy or Zepbound for weight loss as an adult with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Wegovy also treats adults with heart disease at BMI 27 and up, and a liver disease called MASH; Zepbound also treats sleep apnea at BMI 30 and up. Insurers often ask for more: Aetna's 2026 policy wants BMI 35 and six months in a weight program, and Medicare's Bridge wants BMI 35, or 30 or 27 with specific conditions.
- What is Zepbound? Tirzepatide explained: what it treats, how it works, and what it costs
Zepbound is Eli Lilly's brand of tirzepatide, a once-weekly injection that acts on two hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1. The FDA label approves it, with diet and exercise, for weight reduction in adults with obesity or overweight plus a weight-related condition, and for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity. In the SURMOUNT-5 trial it produced 20.2% average weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7% for semaglutide. Lilly sells it self-pay from $299 a month.
