Don't get discouraged by plateaus. Make sure you're getting enough protein, staying hydrated, and tracking your calories carefully. Sometimes a small adjustment to your diet or exercise routine can break through a stall.

I've seen weight loss everywhere. My abdomen seemed to be the last to go, but eventually, it did shrink too.

Congrats! Your commitment is showing results; consistency is key!

Yeah, that sounds about right... Face usually shows it first.

I've noticed shoe size changes too. I've lost about 0.2 inches on each ankle and the widest part of my foot after losing about 12 pounds over 3 months.

Excellent work. These drugs are modern marvels, and your progress is a testament to that. Your dedication also plays a huge role, of course.

Hey there! It sounds like the medication is working differently than you expected it to. Some people notice appetite suppression, others only notice they don't binge eat and their hunger is more controlled. Weight gain and increased appetite can happen for many reasons, even without tolerance...

From my experience, about 8-12 lbs equals one size difference when you're in the slightly overweight range. If you're noticing your clothes are looser after 16lbs, that sounds right on target! And losing that much since December is a solid pace.

I agree. I started at a low dose, and lost a quick 5 pounds at first but then nothing for months. It wasn't until I got up to 1mg that I saw consistent progress of 1-3 pounds a week. Don't give up yet. You might just need a higher dose.

Physician perspective here. This is a very balanced post. The documentation issue is less about "punishment" and more about liability and clinical accuracy. If a medication affects gastric emptying, blood sugar, or cardiovascular parameters, we need that information. Especially...

Congratulations!!🎉

Important reminder: Weight loss impacts bone density! Consider adding a second day of strength training to your routine, if you can. It's great for your bones!

Try adding even just a little walking, like a block or two each day. That can become more, and before you know it, you're walking a mile or two. It's also therapeutic, honestly. That's what helped me the most when I dropped 120 pounds. It kept the weight loss happening, and it's the only...

Online consignment shops, and occasionally department stores, and direct from European brands. Enjoy the journey! Last year I refreshed most of my wardrobe, from shoes to a watch.

What are "units"? That's not usually how it's prescribed. It's usually in mg, or maybe ml if it's regular injections and not a pen. So, I can't say anything about your dose. But, in general, if a dose is working, you can definitely stay on it. Some people just need less. And if it's just...

I agree with Ant_Road - DEXA scan can be quite insightful. Also, track your waist, hip and bust. Sometimes the scale lies. Body recomp is real.

The most important rule in medicine is to use the smallest dose that is effective, so yes, you absolutely can stay at a lower dose if it's working for you.

Are you also tracking your body measurements? I'm in my second week of 0.5mg (after four weeks at 0.25mg), and my weight isn't changing much either. However, I'm consistently losing inches, which is encouraging.

I totally get this. It's been ages since I've been able to wear boots.
