90 pounds lost and a decade reversed - that's the whole case right there.

First dose and already getting the signal - that's the response this medication is designed for.

Red spots after consistent technique usually mean needle blunting or local site accumulation. Fresh needle each time and rotating sites by an inch fixes most cases.

get the wegovy 2.4mg pen and count clicks for 1mg weekly. same semaglutide as ozempic but like $297 at costco with savings card. nine doses at that rate. way better deal.

i'm 42, five feet, was 150 and aiming for 120. ten weeks in at just 0.5 and i'm at 129 already. not sure what maintenance will be but really happy.

I'm glad this is helping some of you! Just wanted everyone to know you're not alone.

Thanks everyone! I'm staying the course!

I wanted to post this to encourage those of us who aren't seeing rapid weight loss or aren't considered 'super-responders' on these meds. There have been times on this journey where I've felt discouraged because I wasn't shedding pounds quickly enough. I read about folks losing upwards of 80lbs...

I'm curious about that too. I've been trying to up my exercise, but it's hard to find the time (and energy!) sometimes.
