25 lbs in 18 days is fast for Reta - that includes significant water weight and inflammation reduction. The pace usually moderates as the body equilibrates.

Congrats on getting to this point...that's what it's all about. 😃

I think that's it @The_Lady! Like, I'm trying to be healthier, and if this med helps me do that long-term, what's the problem?

It's funny how 4 or 5 decades ago, a huge percentage of Americans lost their willpower at the same time and started gaining weight... What a coincidence!

Congrats! Where'd your rug go?

I've struggled with my weight since middle school. Being on this med for almost half a year has made a huge difference. I was talking to a friend who's always been thin, and she said she thinks it's a good tool to get started, but I shouldn't rely on it forever. It just hit me wrong. It's easy...

Sis. Look at you! Congrats! 🎈🍾

I started Ozempic during the shortage a while back. It was a mess. I ended up having to count clicks for consistent doses. I went from 1 mg to 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, then 2 mg. Never had any side effects, but honestly my A1c and kidney function didn't improve much over that time. Weight loss...
