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...

Congrats, you look great! Check out the community for tips on managing without the meds. Good luck!

I didn’t see a big difference until 1.0 and then I didn’t lose weight consistently until 1.7

I've only been on .25 for a little over a week and I've already dropped like, 6 pounds!

Mine started right before my next dose. Guess weight loss is off the table this week. 😂😭

Okay, so I wasn't crazy. My anxiety dropped too! I thought it was just me getting used to not obsessing over food all the time, but maybe it's actually a side effect of stopping the meds. Whoa.

Pms is undefeated lol

It's the delayed gastric emptying that causes that. Same reason my ADHD meds don't hit like they used to. I don't drink anymore, so I'd just say smoke some weed instead! I mean, that's my advice either way. Drinking's overrated. You have fun, don't get a DUI, skip the downer effect, and no...

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...

CONGRATULATIONS! You look AMAZING!!!

Try 1.5mg first, slowly.

I think I saw someone say that they have overnight shipping for an extra charge.

CICO gone wrong: "How little can I eat today?" CICO done right: A baked potato is more filling than potato chips (per calorie). GLPs: "Am I eating enough to keep my energy up and prevent muscle loss?"

Hey @The-AF, that's an interesting point. I hadn't thought about "food noise" before, but I think that's what I was experiencing too! It's so much quieter now, except for these morning hunger pangs lol.
