My 1-year, ~90 lb transformation on Zepbound
“Not keto — GLP-1, food, and exercise.”
Lauren (This Alaska Life — mom of six) shares a year on Zepbound inside a real household: hunting, fishing, kids, and friends who ask what she’s doing. If you want a lifestyle telling rather than a pure “GLP-1 channel” highlight reel, her honesty about pace and dose may help.

Phase
Considering
She describes weight that piled on through pregnancies and stress, and a doctor-advised path onto Zepbound. She’s clear when people assume keto or a secret diet.
Phase
Starting & titration
She started at 2.5, moved to 5 after a few months, then 7.5, and stayed there much of the year. Side effects were few; overeating tended to make the next day feel sick. Loss showed up early enough to keep her going.
Phase
Building through the year
Incremental weeks, thrifting new sizes, Alaska family life in the background. She used the scale often as her compass; the point for you is finding measurements that keep you honest without crushing morale.
Phase
Near the year mark
Around the one-year mark she talks about settling near 145–148, considering a lower dose, and living in clothes that finally fit the life she’s in now.

Questions for a clinician
- How should titration look for my side-effect tolerance?
- What should we track besides the scale?
- Near goal, what’s a sensible hold, space, or step-down plan?
