Thank you so much for writing all of this. I am 56 and just started last month and already dealing with the "isn't that cheating" comments. I needed to read that. I have been overweight since puberty and menopause made it worse. I am only on my starting dose and losing slowly. Is slow loss...

I gained 15 pounds in 2 months when I stopped. I'm back on it now!

This is awesome to see, congrats!!!

I've been on it for about 4 months and haven't lost a single pound. Beginning to think it might not do anything for me.

Awesome!

Love your new profile pic!

It is probably because you took Ozempic. What was the last dose you got? I moved from Mounjaro 5 mg weekly to Reta 2 mg weekly. It took maybe 6 weeks and I felt nothing for 2 weeks, then tried pinning once every 5 days. Started to notice it and lost a couple pounds. Proceed slowly.

Amazing, can you please answer some very important questions? What did you eat the entire time? Did you find that salty foods made you retain water, or slow down weight loss? Did you exercise? What exercise? How much did you lose each month? Did you lose more weight at the start? And did you...

You look wonderful! What happened between August and September? You lost so much weight then.

My doc actually took me OFF metformin when I started Ozempic. So it really does depend! Everyone is different.

I have heard RUI is good quality, but you pay more. I heard some others are not consistent. So it's a gamble?

So you're new to GLP-1s and already want to inject yourself with a bunch of stuff? Maybe slow down a bit. How will you know what's causing any bad side effects if you throw everything in at once?

I'm with you on the 20-50 units. It's just a mental thing! Does the math work and are the meds injected? Absolutely. Does a drop from the sink faucet feel like enough? Nope. It’s all in our heads! 🤣

I have a question about GLP-1s sort of related to this thread. I've been on a low dose of a sema-like medication for about a month and a half and I've already dropped about 9 pounds! I had some stomach issues at first, but now I don't seem to have any side effects. My doctor wanted me to stay on...

You look amazing! Seriously inspiring.

How long did it take you to drop that weight?

Thanks for posting! A quick reminder about the rules. We don't allow discussion of semaglutide that's not FDA-approved, and no selling meds, not even in DMs. Don't answer DMs from anyone offering those. If you're new, check out the FAQ.

Congrats! That’s like losing the weight of a whole person! 🙌🎉

Wow, congrats! Could you share what dosages and timeframes you used, if you don't mind?

Insurance didn't touch it. I paid out of pocket. Pricey but worth it!
