The Truth About Weight Loss in Your 60s

I have been on maintenance now for 2 months after 1 year of a 68 pound weight loss with Emerge and the guidance of my primary!

Little things that have become a big deal for me since losing weight. 


Some of my non scale victories:

  • Being able to get up and down in the bath tub easily

  • A comfortable seat belt

  • More energy

  • Happy to pick out my work outfit

  • Complete satisfaction, not willpower torture, after eating a meal



Health benefits

  • Lower LDL cholesterol

  • Lower blood pressure

  • Lower blood glucose

  • Lower triglycerides

  • Improvement in my Inflammatory Osteoarthritis pain

  • Less knee, ankle and hip pain

  • Happier mental state


To be honest, there are some cons for me

  • At 63 yrs old, my skin is now more wrinkled despite hyaluronic acid and moisturizing, which makes me look older

  • 'Crepe paper skin' is really a problem on my abdomen, upper arms and inner thighs, but it is a tradeoff that I will accept

 

My loss has been from 165 pounds - 123 pounds with Emerge compounded Tirzepatide from mid July 2024 to Jan 2025. My initial weight loss was with insurance covered Mounjaro (188-165 lbs.; May 15, 2024- June 1st 2024) but then my employer switched healthcare plans and insurance no longer covered the Rx.  My doctor recommended looking for an online plan, and I found Emerge and switched to compounded Tirzepatide (which I noticed no difference from the name-branded).
