Trusting the process through the plateau months is the real work. The noise from other people tends to peak right around when the scale goes quiet - which is usually when things are still happening below the surface.
The band dropping while the cup holds is the common pattern - the chest wall and ribcage slim first. Most people eventually see the cup follow later as overall composition changes. Still, 40JJ to 34JJ is a meaningful shift.
got some loose skin, bit of thigh jiggle & belly jelly but i'm down 40 lbs at 5'2", 140. been on ozempic 2.5 years at 1mg twice a week now. insurance covers it, $60 copay every 3 months. only real downside is some diarrhea & some days i just forget to eat.
Just started week four and I’m stunned by how amazing this is. Shuts off the food noise (or food screaming?) almost completely.
Alcohol use down a lot.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I started my first dose today, just the starter one. I don't really feel anything yet. My doc put me on it because my hormones are a mess and I can't drop weight. Hoping this helps with cravings and maybe some weight loss too!
Just a little encouragement for everyone! The side effects do mellow out. I went from 250 lbs to 140 lbs, and I'm a shortie at 5'3". I've been on Wegovy nearly two years, currently on the 1.7 mg dose.
Thanks, Dog_Beer, for bringing that possible link to cancer with TB-500 to my attention. I think I will steer clear of that one! I might try the PEA that Ozempic_Oracle mentioned though. It's good to know there are some clinical studies backing it.
KLOW and TB500 as well any of the Cu peptides may light you up so go slow and low . It caused some significant inflammation for me. I suggest 5A1MQ , MOTs-C and cartalax.
