It's amazing to see what these meds can do. Someone I know went from being pretty inactive at about 300 pounds to losing fifty pounds in like 5 months. They found they loved hiking and HIIT workouts. A calorie deficit, exercise, and medication changed their entire life!

Likely a side effect from dropping weight that fast. I was dizzy for a year straight but it's settled now.

Before peptides, when I was able to drop a few pounds, exercise was definitely involved. It's weird going to the gym these days just to maintain my health and improve my life instead of trying to lose weight. I don't punish myself at the gym for eating too much anymore, mainly since I'm not...

I've seen people say they didn't lose anything until they got to 1mg. But I lost like 6 pounds the first couple weeks at .25mg. It varies a LOT person to person.

A live look at someone following that chart:

I started at 1mg for a month, and now I'm at 2mg for another month. Then I'll decide if I need to go up to 4mg or stay where I am, depending on how it's going.

This kind of stuff is how people get hurt or worse!!!

Nope.

I went to one WW meeting and all they did was talk about food and try to sell overpriced snacks. So depressing. Ozempic actually helped me listen to my body's hunger cues and improved my blood sugar and cholesterol. No wonder WW is failing.

Agreed. Don't hold your breath.

I'm starting to see the "paper towel effect" people talk about. It really IS a thing! I dropped about 55 lbs and thought I looked exactly the same. Then another 10 came off and BOOM, things look different all over.

I had to keep looking at the before and after pics to believe what I was seeing 👀 lol! You look absolutely gorgeous! You should feel so proud of yourself for committing to turning your life around and choosing to prioritize yourself! I hope the support you're getting from all of us keeps you...

Your face looks so different. Are you using a filter? Congrats on the weight loss!

Yes! Body fat stores hormones. When you lose weight, those hormones get released. Something to be aware of.

Just adding my two cents: resistance training is key to minimize muscle loss while on these meds. Also, make sure you're getting enough protein!

Has anyone been having a hard time getting Ozempic? Getting it consistently is rough. What solutions have you found?

Inspiring transformation, thanks for posting. And your eyelashes are incredible!

My RHR on Sema jumped to 73 from mid 50's! On Reta, it went up to 66 when I first started at 9 mgs, but since then, it's dropped back down - 62 on the first and second day after the shot, then back to the 50's as the week goes on. No change in RHR until I upped it to 9 mgs. I was super nervous...

I think because my inflammation is lower after dropping my A1C, BP, etc., my body is able to fix itself better. It can now do what it's supposed to do, like clear up psoriasis, etc. Eating processed food messes with your skin. You cut out the bad stuff, and you look healthier again without...

Are you still taking 2.5mg each week?
