Body comp tracking from day one is the right call here - the data makes the muscle retention case that the scale alone misses.

The scale holding while people notice you shrinking is the classic recomposition pattern - clothes and measurements track it better than the number does.

The sugar reduction tends to lag behind other carb changes on sema - the satiety mechanism hits starch first, and sweet cravings use a slightly different circuit that takes longer to quiet. The Valentine's dinner overage is a one-off; the sugar pattern is the longer adjustment.

It's wild how much easier it is to eat well when you're on it, right? It's like it boosts my own motivation. I still need to make good choices, making sure I get my protein and fiber. I even have to remind myself to drink enough water now. I think it's worth a shot. You won't know about side...

That is a serious transformation, congrats! I'm down around 60lbs, and I'm starting to consider what happens with excess skin. Anyone have experience with that?

Fantastic work!

Stunning transformation!

Yeah, you always have to weigh the risks. I'm sticking with it unless the side effects become unbearable. So far, so good for me too.

I've been paying cash for three years. Current cash price is around $350 for the 1mg pen and 500 for the 2mg pen. Just use a coupon from GoodRx.

Ordering direct from NovoCare is usually the best self-pay rate; no coupons needed: https://www.novocare.com/content/dam/novonordisk/novocare/redesign/pdf/Wegovy_Price_Guide.pdf

I can relate to the poster who said they had bariatric surgery and then gained some back. I didn't have surgery, but I dieted, lost a bunch, then gained some back too. It's so frustrating. Glad to hear Ozempic is helping you maintain the loss!

You look fabulous! Congrats on all your hard work!

Interesting. I'll pay attention for similar cravings. I'm at 2mg Survo (with 15 Tirz) and just now feeling something on my second 2mg shot. Some nausea and less food thoughts, which had gone away with just Tirz alone. But I thought my holiday sweets obsession was the Survo and its glucagon. I...

Wow, that's amazing I am happy to hear the med is really doing what it is supposed to!

Stunning! I hope the side effects weren't too bad! You look fantastic!

ProteinPioneer Sure! I'm currently at 1mg every 10 days. It took some trial and error to find the right spacing, but it seems to be working well for me so far. Definitely chat with your doctor!
