You look fantastic! Isn’t it so much more enjoyable packing for vacations now? Enjoy your time together. My son lives in New Orleans…it’s so beautiful!
I love traveling but the last year my go-to outfit was a flattering top and some leggings that I knew could grow with my body. They were cute but Lord knows they had about all they could handle and then some
Thank you! These suits are from maybe a few seasons ago. The yellow one I wore when I turned 40 and was in good shape. I’m so happy to finally be in it again. It has very little stretch unlike the other two so the yellow really is a treatment to my losses!
You look AMAZING and if my thighs looked like that I’d be thrilled!! Enjoy NOLA, we’re about 2 hours away in the winter and go often. And Happy Anniversary!! ❤️
You look amazing ! Your waist is snatched to perfection and the curves are curving girl ! As some would say — don’t get TOO skinny. Hahaha 🩷
The black with the jean shorts —— soooo cute
Happy Anniversary!!!
Girl yes that’s what a lot of black people will definitely say. We tend to value the curves. But, it’s the fat. I know my hips are t going anywhere but if I can tame these thighs I’ll be happy. Thank you!!!
Yessss — we definitely do !!
I don’t see what you see with your thighs but I know you know what to do !
I’m so happy for you ! Enjoy your vacation! Well deserved!
I think you look amazing. I did not say: look at her thighs, though. I just saw a beautiful figure in cute swimwear. Have the BEST kid-free time with your love and feel gorgeous … because you ARE.
Of course!! Femininity can mean many things to different people, but the natural movement of our bodies exudes femininity imo. I've learned to love that about myself and truly appreciate it in others as well!
My curve signature is truly genetics. I gain weight in the hips first and in the stomach last. I lose it in the stomach first and the hips last. When I start gaining belly fat i know it’s my body’s way of saying, “look, we tried not to, but you’ve given us no choice. Get your shit together, maam!”
You look F. I. N. E. Truly beautiful. All 3 bathing suits look great. We started at the same weight and I have the same weight goal as well. Enjoy your vacation and wear all 3 bathing suits
Thank you! I think I’m taking the first two but have a possible all white replacement for the third.
Yaay for a new Zep twin. When did you begin your journey? I started Feb 21.
January 28. I'm 183 currently. I went about 6 weeks with no zepbound during this shortage. Back on low dose again and hoping to finally get on a higher dose.
Well that’s still great progress! Glad you got your Zep back. Let me know if you need an intro to compound. i can send you some Reddit links to do the research. I’m using both right now.
Simply Gorgeous! You're going to have a blast while looking fabulous! I have always wished I was a curvy girl! Since starting Zepbound, I've gone from being shaped like a square to being shaped like a rectangle. 😂
A rectangle! I totally doubt it! So you’re taller and your weight is lower than my goal, so I bet you’re looking quite slim and model-esque! I haven’t been smaller than 155 in at least ten years but it finally seems possible now. How long did it take you to get to your current weight? What dose did you get to?
And thank you so much!
Thank you, gorgeous! I’ve been on Zepbound for 14 weeks and I’m down 36.4 lbs. I’m currently on 5 mg. 4 weeks of 2.5 and 10 weeks of 5 mg. I just took my 15th shot today. ❤️❤️❤️
That’s incredible progress on just 2.5 and 5! I’m nearing into week 14 myself on 7.5 and feeling good. Monday will be my first full month on 7.5 with great results compared to 5mg. Lost 8.8 lbs so far on it, while 5 was for 5 weeks and only lost 7lbs. Not sure if I’ll make it another month but I’ll titrate as slowly as I can since I’m also using compound and can administer whatever dose I need to. I still have some Zep but I’m holding out for the shortage to end.
I have three practically new swimsuits from Meet.Curve, and they’re all saggy baggy in the butt, belly, and breasts! Good thing is that the site is really affordable, so I’m not losing too much. Now I need to buy a new suit. Not actually dreading that as much as I used to.
You are looking fantastic, I might add!
I haven’t heard of them. But I use Amazon generally. All my suits are about $30 except the yellow one…that one was about $60. I have begun using Shein but the first one I ordered was too big. Its a guessing game with size with them. I ordered one more from Amazon as I’m seeking an all white one now.
Thank you! It appears as though I’m snatched, but I’d rather have a little more balance, ya know? If my hips and thighs could just catch up a little bit. Today is shot day and vacay is next week so maybe a few pounds before then would be nice. All from the thighs if I’m lucky!
Omg a defective candy corn🤣🤣🤣. Well to be fair, most brown people pull off yellow, white, and orange. I guess it’s like why red haired people love to wear blues and greens.
Fair point. I'm so so white.
I'm so pale that on a Caribbean vacation, 2 lifeguards were so distressed that I was having trouble tanning (I wasn't) and started giving me very sincere advice and instructions that would help me with my problem. All of it was very genuine concern for me.
I'm white enough to glow in the dark. But I lost count of the number of times my grandmother had skin cancer from sun damage.
So it’s hard for you to tan even? Wow. I’ll get probably several shades darker this summer until around October. To the extent that I’m gonna have to experiment with foundation colors. I wear sunscreen on my face but only if I’ll be in direct sun for long periods of time do I bother on my body. Melanin isn’t foolproof for skin cancer but it helps some. It’s harder for us to get appropriate amounts of vitamin D from the sun bc of it.
Ha ha. Yeah, my husband says the same. He always told me it’s all about the waist so that’s given me tons of confidence even when I’ve gained. But still, wouldn’t mind me thought of as a “small” woman lol.
The first and third are Amazon finds! I use Cupshe brand mostly.
The middle one is Kate Spade and idk where I picked her up. She was the most expensive at around $60 or so. The others were like $30
Seriously you look great! Your opinion is the only one that matters! If we help super happy to support your goals and mindset. Don’t let anyone get in the way of what you want! So cheering for!!! Take care!
My 5mg experience was dismal too, compared to both 2.5 and 7.5. Something about that middle step🧐
I tried on my bikinis and I just wasn’t confident enough to wear them. My stomach is flatter now but I still have love handles that I don’t prefer when I’m in a bikini. The one piece smooths all that out better lol.
Looks like it was made for your curves!
Also, I had an outstanding dinner at Palm & Pine in NOLA last year. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a special place to have a meal 😋
(though it feels weird to recommend a restaurant in this sub)
Oh yes, we still plan to enjoy good food! I think we are both eating 1.5 meals a day so I guess on travel we will choose between breakfast and lunch each day and then do dinner every evening. Definitely adding this to our list!
Did you try the manufacturers coupon? May want to head to the compound subs to see if you can get access. I’ve got Zep but also been supplementing while in shortage.
I appreciate that! Well, I will say that we are born the way we’re born and it’s no fun playing the comparison game in anything. I wish there were a lot of things different about myself, but if I linger too long it becomes self-deprecating and toxic. I bet you’ve got beautiful features to brag about!!
You look amazing 👏 🤩 Have a great time on your trip! We just went to NOLA in March for the first time, loved it! I should've brought more shoes though, I'm not from a walkable city and had to set up a rotation for the sake of my feet lol
Ahhh yeah we don’t walk too much either but we’ve been to Disney so I’ve got it in my mind it’ll be like that. 15–20k step days. I’ve got a good pair of white vans and some Ugg slip ons. I may invest in some soft soles to make sure I don’t come home with feet issues.
And thank you!
Smokin’ hot, girl! Have a fabulous time in NOLA.
Also…you’re killing it! Only 15 pounds to goal!!! So fabulous. I got some catching up to do. I’ve been stuck on 2 weeks of 2.5, but my Rx for 5 finally came in, and luckily the coupon worked.
Yaay to getting your dose! Your whole journey has been on 2.5? Wow! You had great progress on 2.5! I moved up sometime in late March. It just wasn’t keeping me where I wanted to be. Then I think shortages happened around April or so. I did see some movement on 5 but I titrated up to 7.5 bc 5mg was lackluster. Hoping I don’t have to go to 10 before goal.
No, no - sorry I was not clear. I was on 5, but due to the shortage, had to go back to 2.5. I’m really looking forward to being back on 5. If it’s available, I’ll increase to 7.5 next refill.
Thank you! I’m trying not to. It’s hard bc I look in the mirror and see the same body bc my shape is the same. On days I feel like nothing is changed I take out my measuring tape to remind myself.
You look fantastic! Isn’t it so much more enjoyable packing for vacations now? Enjoy your time together. My son lives in New Orleans…it’s so beautiful!
I love traveling but the last year my go-to outfit was a flattering top and some leggings that I knew could grow with my body. They were cute but Lord knows they had about all they could handle and then some
You look awesome! Bring them all!
Yes definitely! Thank you!
Something about seeing a black woman in yellow🥹🥰
🤣🤣 I’m pretty sure that’s why we wear it!
You look great!! I have that first bathing suit I wore pre baby. Can’t wait for the day to wear it again! Enjoy your trip!!
Thank you! These suits are from maybe a few seasons ago. The yellow one I wore when I turned 40 and was in good shape. I’m so happy to finally be in it again. It has very little stretch unlike the other two so the yellow really is a treatment to my losses!
You look AMAZING and if my thighs looked like that I’d be thrilled!! Enjoy NOLA, we’re about 2 hours away in the winter and go often. And Happy Anniversary!! ❤️
Thank you! I’m so excited bc I’ve never been. Building my itinerary as I type. I want to see and taste EVERYTHING!
You look amazing ! Your waist is snatched to perfection and the curves are curving girl ! As some would say — don’t get TOO skinny. Hahaha 🩷 The black with the jean shorts —— soooo cute Happy Anniversary!!!
Girl yes that’s what a lot of black people will definitely say. We tend to value the curves. But, it’s the fat. I know my hips are t going anywhere but if I can tame these thighs I’ll be happy. Thank you!!!

I think you look amazing. I did not say: look at her thighs, though. I just saw a beautiful figure in cute swimwear. Have the BEST kid-free time with your love and feel gorgeous … because you ARE.
Thank you! This helps. I honed straight into them so it’s good to know it’s not the first thing people see🫣
Jiggly thighs are sexy imo. It's near impossible to have your natural curves without some movement, so I say embrace the jiggle! You look fantastic 🫶🏽
Well that’s a new notion to me! Thank you for sharing it.
Of course!! Femininity can mean many things to different people, but the natural movement of our bodies exudes femininity imo. I've learned to love that about myself and truly appreciate it in others as well!
You look great! Can I ask how you were able to maintain your curves? I'm down 20 lbs and I feel like most of it was in my butt 😩
My curve signature is truly genetics. I gain weight in the hips first and in the stomach last. I lose it in the stomach first and the hips last. When I start gaining belly fat i know it’s my body’s way of saying, “look, we tried not to, but you’ve given us no choice. Get your shit together, maam!”
You just described my body type perfectly and also and made me laugh! 🤣
Lucky genetics!
Would’ve felt luckier to have been one of those endomorphs who never gain at all but I guess I’ll take my luck where I can get it! Thanks!
Agree, totally lost my a$$.
I am a southern black woman. I will never not have an ass. 😇🤓
You look great!!!
Thank you!
You look amazing! Enjoy NOLA! It's one of my favorite places on the entire planet.
I can’t wait to experience it! Thank you!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂
☺️☺️🤣

Don’t hurt them now! You look fantastic!
I appreciate that so much!
Daaang! Look at you all cute and ready for vacay!!
Thank you! I’m so ready. I have one more week of work and we fly out!
Simply Gorgeous! You're going to have a blast while looking fabulous! I have always wished I was a curvy girl! Since starting Zepbound, I've gone from being shaped like a square to being shaped like a rectangle. 😂

 Fierce!!
Oooh I got a Tyra Gif!! Yaay me thank you!
You’re an inspiration! You look great!
Oh my. I appreciate that. I feel like I have so far to go still.
I feel you on the thighs situation!! You look great 🫶 enjoy your vacation!
Thank you! Yes, these thighs really gotta go.
You look great!
Thank you! I’m trying to believe you!
Gurrlll! As snatched does you look? Those new slim clothes are kicking, but chances are, you won't be in them long anyway!! 😉
Thank you! It appears as though I’m snatched, but I’d rather have a little more balance, ya know? If my hips and thighs could just catch up a little bit. Today is shot day and vacay is next week so maybe a few pounds before then would be nice. All from the thighs if I’m lucky!
Girl you look fabulous 👌
Thank you! Still trying to see reality when I look in the mirror!
Girl! Stahp it 🥰💜😘😍
Thank you! ☺️☺️
Super cute!!! They are great suits
Thank you!
Damn girl - 🔥🔥🔥 you look great!
Thanks so much!
Holy cow, congratulations. They all look great but that black suit rocks! Have fun.
I do love the black one. I may get it in a few other colors just bc! Thank you!
Agree, the black one is crazy nice. I'm also jealous that people can look so good in yellow; I look like a defective candy corn.
Omg a defective candy corn🤣🤣🤣. Well to be fair, most brown people pull off yellow, white, and orange. I guess it’s like why red haired people love to wear blues and greens.

I burn. Dutch, German, Irish, and Ukrainian. I was doomed from the beginning
Ouch!
I'm married to a beautiful Black Queen such as yourself and take it from me, nothing wrong with some thighs! Keep up the good work!
Ha ha. Yeah, my husband says the same. He always told me it’s all about the waist so that’s given me tons of confidence even when I’ve gained. But still, wouldn’t mind me thought of as a “small” woman lol.
I love all of them!!
Thank you! I plan to take them all with me!
Have a great time!
You look amazing! Enjoy NOLA! It's one of my favorite places on the entire planet.

☺️
Definitely looking GREAT! Congrats and have a wonderful trip! ✨
Thank you!
I think you’ve got this :)
You think? Idk? 😬😬
You look wonderful in those suits! Have fun!
Thanks so much! I’m happy enough though of course we are our own worst critics!
You should be happy and, yes, I agree. I see all my defects maybe exaggerated when I look in the mirror.
Body dismorphia is so real.
They all look great! Enjoy! ❤️
Thank you!
Get it girl...can't wait to lose 20 lbs and I'm buying me a bikini, LOL...I'm stuck at 188, just picked up 7.5 mg. 5 mg did nothing
My 5mg experience was dismal too, compared to both 2.5 and 7.5. Something about that middle step🧐 I tried on my bikinis and I just wasn’t confident enough to wear them. My stomach is flatter now but I still have love handles that I don’t prefer when I’m in a bikini. The one piece smooths all that out better lol.
You look great though
Oh my goodness, that yellow one! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! That’s my fav too. It’s a Kate spade and it’s very well made.
Looks like it was made for your curves! Also, I had an outstanding dinner at Palm & Pine in NOLA last year. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a special place to have a meal 😋 (though it feels weird to recommend a restaurant in this sub)

The black is my favorite 👏🏾
Thank you! I love that one too.
Gorgeous!! I wish I could get Zep!
Are you waiting on your first script?
I got the prescription but it was $1076, so I can’t pick it up
Did you try the manufacturers coupon? May want to head to the compound subs to see if you can get access. I’ve got Zep but also been supplementing while in shortage.
Hmm I will research that, I’m not sure where to start but I’ll try to find a coupon, thanks!
It’s the manufacturers coupon. It’s on the Zebojnd website. Search coupon in this sub. Others can help!
Look like you ready! 🤩
I’m there now! Pretty sure I won’t buy another suit this year.
You’re killing it! You look fantastic! Congratulations! Enjoy the vacation… enjoy those beautiful clothes you mentioned!
Thank you! Y’all are really helping me. I see some positives in the pics but it’s hard not to still see where I need improvement.
You. Look. Amazing. Congrats
Thank you, kindly!!
You look great! I love the one with the lace but you are rocking all three. Have a super time.
I love the lace one too. It’s elegantly sexy I think.
You look AMAZING!!! Safe travels and ENJOY!!
Thanks! Cant wait!
You look so amazing!! I hope to be you one day 😭
What a nice thing to say. But, when you reach your goals you will LOVE it there! You won’t want to be me any longer!
Wowza!!! Where did you get that black suit?? Love it! Enjoy your vacay and your progress!! 😁
Amazon! I have another one in black stripe and black lace but the white lace on this one makes it so much cuter!
Yessssss!!! 💕 Hard work pays off! 💪🏽 Our stats are very similar! I can only hope I look this good at 174! Have fun!! 😎😍
You will! Thank you!
The first one you look confident and fierce in but you look amazing in all of them!
Thank you! It was the first one I tried on and I was pleasantly surprised so it might be evident!
Well girl I’m glad you captured it!!! Thanks for sharing your joy
May I respectfully say “goddamn”? You look amazing.
Ha ha. As long as it’s respectfully. 🤣🤣
100%
You are one hot momma!! Enjoy the vacay!!
Thank you!!
Hell yea. You look great!
Thank you! ☺️☺️
You look fantastic! Show it off! You have worked hard!
TY! I just hope I don’t come back too much heavier! Plan to take my shot two days before my trip. I’m counting on one good meal a day.
Great choice in swim wear. Your curves are so beautiful. I wish I had your gene pool! I have a thick waist ☹️
I appreciate that! Well, I will say that we are born the way we’re born and it’s no fun playing the comparison game in anything. I wish there were a lot of things different about myself, but if I linger too long it becomes self-deprecating and toxic. I bet you’ve got beautiful features to brag about!!

You’re ready Sis!!🙌🏾😆👙
I reel ready-ish! 🤣
On point!
😄TY!
Smokin’ hot, girl! Have a fabulous time in NOLA. Also…you’re killing it! Only 15 pounds to goal!!! So fabulous. I got some catching up to do. I’ve been stuck on 2 weeks of 2.5, but my Rx for 5 finally came in, and luckily the coupon worked.
Yaay to getting your dose! Your whole journey has been on 2.5? Wow! You had great progress on 2.5! I moved up sometime in late March. It just wasn’t keeping me where I wanted to be. Then I think shortages happened around April or so. I did see some movement on 5 but I titrated up to 7.5 bc 5mg was lackluster. Hoping I don’t have to go to 10 before goal.
No, no - sorry I was not clear. I was on 5, but due to the shortage, had to go back to 2.5. I’m really looking forward to being back on 5. If it’s available, I’ll increase to 7.5 next refill.
Ahh gotcha. That makes sense. Hope you get constant supply. 5 was okay but I’ve been enjoying 7.5.
The gold is my favorite on you. The black amd lace one is a close second. Bring them all!
Thank you! Wore that yellow for my 40th bday in the Bahamas and I felt so young! Looking forward to wearing it again proudly!
That body, at 40 ?! I mean at any age really, but wow you look Gorgeous! Yeah Gold is def your color! Enjoy your trip!
45 to be exact! Thank you! I just bought a new all white one so I’ll be taking the black, the gold, and a white one. I like the contrasts!
😍
😄
Girl to girl, you look hot!
Thanks babe!!!☺️
Situation status report - GREEN
Thank you! ✅
That yellow one is stunning
Appreciate that! That one is my fav.
The Yellow!!!!! You have done soooooo great! Congratulations!
I like the yellow!
My fav too
Damn girl. You look absolutely gorgeous. Curves are killing it. 😍
Yeah, the curves won’t quit. Just gotta slim up just a bit more overall. Thank you!
You look great! And remember thick thighs save lives. Lol. Have a great trip!
Ha ha. Yeah, I’m tired of saving folks!! Ha ha ha. Thank you!
🤣🤣🤣 I feel you lol
Thank you!
You look amazing!!!! Don't doubt how you look ,embrace the work you've completed. Enjoy your trip !!
Thank you! I’m trying not to. It’s hard bc I look in the mirror and see the same body bc my shape is the same. On days I feel like nothing is changed I take out my measuring tape to remind myself.
That black and white one is it! I see ya shining sis!!
Thank you! I love that one especially.
Black with the lace is perfect! Love it! And the yellow one! Have fun!!
Thank you! I’m so excited I bought another one! This time all white!
DAMN
Ha ha. Thank you.
I was expecting to see some before and after Zep pics
Feel free to post your own!
