The cold on Reta is one of the consistent early reports. It usually becomes less pronounced over the first few weeks but tends to stay partially.

For someone starting with T2D at 302, the medication is going to do a lot of work. The main advice from people who have been through it: track your blood sugar more than the scale in the first months. The metabolic shift happens before the weight loss becomes obvious.

60 lbs in 13 months is a strong result. The community knowledge base matters most for people just starting.

Hey O-O-Ozempic, totally get the frustration with the scale. I've been on this journey for a while, and stalled a few times! One thing that helped me was adding some strength training to my routine. It seems like upping the protein intake helps too. Worth a shot!

I actually weigh myself every single day and track it in one app. Then, I keep my measurements and a weekly weight (Mondays) in a different app. I like being able to see the daily trends, but also keep an eye on the bigger picture with the weekly weigh-ins. And yeah, steroids are rough. I have...

Doesn’t it feel incredible?? Congrats!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I had to buy new boxers. My old ones kept sliding down, lol.

Keep going, you're killing it!

It's great to hear success stories like yours! I went from a size 12/14 to a size 3 jeans. Semiglutide is a lifesaver, haha! Shannon

Amazing! You look great! I began close to 235lbs, I'm almost 200lbs now, and I want to reach 165lbs. I've been taking it for 12 weeks. I'm about to start 7.5mg.
