I'm curious about how much weight you're talking about. You lose "all" the weight in a couple months and gain it "all" back in about the same amount of time. From what I've researched, you have to stay on a maintenance dose unless you're super strict when you go off it.

I read a post where someone said they're happy about being 'overweight'! I feel that. I'm aiming for normal BMI for the first time since the 90s. I have PCOS and insulin resistance so it's tough.

If I don't eat, I don't lose. The key is nutrients, not starvation. Eat smaller portions of healthier food. That's why I think people regain the weight; they don't learn how to eat correctly. Just my opinion. I'm on my second week of Ozempic, and I think a couple of pounds a week is a great rate.

Nice work! Mine is taking a while to get approved.

And it's not just about weight sometimes. I saw someone else online say their inflammation went way down, and their PCOS is better now. It's so much more than just a number on the scale.

You honestly look fantastic!

When someone's told not to expect too much weight loss with these meds (which isn't right!), show them this post. Anything's possible!

It's so important to celebrate these victories! Weight loss journeys are tough, and acknowledging your hard work is crucial for staying motivated. Great job!

INCREDIBLE!!!! So happy for your success!

lol sorry but I saw "same shirt, different you!"

Makes sense about the pens. I mean, they tell you to toss them after 56 days, but people are using them for months! As long as it's clear and refrigerated, it's probably fine. I've heard of people doing that with insulin too. I bet they put that date on there to be safe, but it's probably good...

Agree 100%. I've had to open a 7.5mg pen to get a 7.2mg dose, but it's a pain.

I agree with keeping up strength training! It really does make a difference, not just for weight, but for overall health as not-today-scale mentioned.

I always assumed the official dosage increases had more to do with the limitations of the injector pens? It'd be a pain to make a pen for every 0.5mg step. I bet going slower would be better.

You look incredible! After stopping sema, eating lots of protein and sticking to a mostly clean diet (like a relaxed paleo) helped me a lot. Avoiding processed foods, sugary drinks, and too much junk is key.

Congrats on reaching your goal! It's definitely a process. Since the holidays are here, I'd suggest staying on your current dose for a bit longer, especially with all the temptations around. After the new year, you could consider tapering down slowly, staying at your current dose, or even...

It's amazing how much losing weight can impact your appearance, isn't it? A friend of mine is a teacher and she had some pics taken at concerts for back to back semesters. The difference was super obvious!

Amazing! How do you feel now?

I get a gag reflex when I drink too much coffee. 🙄

You should take Frankie's comment to heart. They are usually very cautious about peptides, /s.
