It's inspiring to see such consistent progress. I need to remember that it's okay if it takes time. I saw someone on Reddit say they lost 100 pounds after 17 months. That's a great reminder that everyone's journey is different.
Thanks for sharing your experience. The fact that you immediately gained back 8 lbs highlights the importance of using Ozempic as a tool to revamp your lifestyle with a healthy diet and consistent exercise.
Thanks for posting! Just a reminder: no discussion of non-approved meds, and no selling anything. Don't respond to private messages offering meds, they aren't endorsed here. Newbies, check out the FAQ. This is just to help, not to discourage you.

That is such an awesome achievement. Good for you! I've found that a good hair care routine can also help manage side effects. I use a mix of aloe vera, castor oil, and rosemary oil once a week.
It usually takes approximately four weeks at a specific dosage to experience its complete effectiveness. In my case, dosages between 10 and 15mg yielded the optimal outcomes.
For those of you titrating up, are you counting clicks or using a syringe? I've been using click counts but I'm exploring if using a syringe for more accuracy is better.
It's probably best to avoid suppliers where the amounts vary a lot between vials from the same batch. Slight differences are expected and probably not a big deal, like if you're off by 0.15mg or so.

This person said they had an 80+lbs difference in their before/after pics and have been in maintenance with a stable weight for 4 months. They're 5'8", starting around 250lbs and now at 169. They...
