higher doses flipped my mood hard. was partly the food quality and not moving enough to keep muscle though. also realized i was eating feelings, you know? on this stuff you can't do that so you sit with it. not ready for meds or therapy but journaling and diet and movement helped tons.

Only 2.5 is amazing! Thanks for sharing the hacks too. I work nights like you, usually eating between 7pm and 2am. When you're ready for maintenance you should come hang out over at the other community for that.

27 lbs a month at your starting weight is normal for the first 1-2 months, mostly water and glycogen. Real metric is lean muscle — need aggressive protein to keep it. After month 2-3 the loss slows to 1-2 lbs/week, that's the med working right.

wegovy slows everything down to a crawl. you HAVE to cut your portions. acidic food before bed? i wake up puking bile. had to swap my whole diet

Don't get discouraged! It's a marathon, not a sprint. Some weeks, my weight barely moves and then *whoosh* a couple pounds disappear!

Your before pic is my goal! Haha.

Wow, I would never have guessed you weighed over 200 in the first pic!

Thanks all for the nice comments! New_Pal, yes I'm lifting weights a couple of times a week. Hoping to increase that as I continue losing.

Finally seeing the results! I tried on a dress I haven't worn in ages. Roughly 5 months on Oz and I've managed to drop about 22 pounds. I'm losing weight fairly slowly, which I think gives me time to incorporate strength training. My ultimate goal is to lose another 35-40 pounds while on 1mg.
