I don't track calories. I can only eat healthy stuff anyway because of the GERD I got from this medication.

I totally get this thread. In every other "diet" I've done, I had a cheat day (or meal), felt terrible, and then suffered until the next cheat time. Since starting the injections in April, I don't need to "cheat" because I don't want to. If I want a taste of ice cream, that's all I have. Before...

I started at 340 a year ago, on a dual agonist for 8 months and lost 75 lbs. I had to stop because it was too expensive. I gained back about 35 lbs in just 2 months (mostly inflammation), and it felt like everything I had accomplished was gone. I couldn't go back to living like that, so I...

It's not just about being pretty, it's about being THIN. "Thin privilege" is a better way to put it.

Yeah, the hunger can definitely come back with a vengeance. Planning meals is helpful, as Toni_21 mentioned. It's about managing the cravings, not just starving yourself.

Great job - congrats!

Thanks for posting this. I'm starting to feel hopeless but maybe I need to adjust the dose or something. I'm also dealing with PCOS which makes EVERYTHING harder.

I stopped back in November. I've put about 8 pounds back on, so I'm back to intermittent fasting to get things under control.

Thanks everyone for the awesome suggestions! I'm gonna try mixing up my cardio mostly, because it is the same routine. I should probably track all my calories for a week too, I've gotten a little lazy on that.

I'm honestly envious. I've been on it for about half a year and barely lost 8lbs. Any tips?

Great job to you though !!

Hey everyone, I've been on Ozempic since around summer of '24, and I've dropped about 125 pounds. I went from about 450 to 330. My goal is to be around 220-240. But since spring '25, even with a higher dose, like 2.7 mg, my weight hasn't changed much. I've been trying for over a month and it's...

I'm wondering if anyone has had their hormone levels checked while on these meds? I saw some info about how they might affect testosterone. I'm curious if there's any impact on muscle mass, especially since mentioned that.

So, you're doing a total of 17mg per week? What was your dose increase schedule? I know some people go higher than the max dose, and they're testing 20mg and 25mg, I'm curious about your reasons and process.

I inject every 3.5 days.

My A1C went from 10ish to 6. I haven’t lost any weight though. I think I'm going to ask about a higher dose at my next doctor visit.

My A1c dropped from 7.1 to 5.4 in like, seven months. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a normal A1c reading. It's honestly a fantastic medication.

I saw someone else post about how they're finally liking how they look, even though they still have a ways to go. It's so relatable! I'm down about 35lbs and starting to feel that way too.

Keep it up – you're doing great!

Fantastic progress! I'm a little envious of the weight loss. A little grooming goes a long way!
