7+ months in - slow but steady!

[Mix-Good]

Just hit the 7.5-month mark and I'm down 38 pounds. It's been a consistent pound-a-week journey. I've had moments where I questioned if it's worth the expense, seeing others shed weight quicker. But gotta remember, everyone's different, and a pound a week is considered a sustainable rate. It felt great to compare a photo from week one to today; a real visual reminder!

Thanks for posting!

Big congrats! That's great progress!

I'm in the same boat! About a pound each week. I've lost around 30, and nobody seems to notice. Some friends dropped twice as much in the same time. Some are just more sensitive to it. Others might be cutting calories too drastically and losing muscle. Not what I want at all. It's worth the cost for me because it quiets the constant mental chatter about food. I've been heavy since childhood and tried every diet imaginable. I could never lose weight without obsessing over every single thing I ate (or didn't eat). It was exhausting.

We are all unique. I was taking semaglutide for half a year and only got rid of a pound! Consider yourself fortunate!

That's awesome!

What's your dosage?

7+ months is serious dedication. That's usually when everything compounds. Keeping a long-term view helps the most.

You're doing great! And I always say it’s as cheap as groceries cost these days

Did you start losing right away? I'm only down 2 pounds total, and I'm on week 7 (.50 Wegovy).

You're doing such a great job! It's nice when you're feeling good.

Fantastic work!

Looking good! Are you doing the injections? Any side effects?

Awesome!
You look wonderful!
How are you feeling?

I'm only 3 months in, and I'm not confident my scale works, lol.
Seems like I'm maybe 15-20 pounds lighter.
I try to avoid weighing myself too often because the numbers get frustrating.
My jeans fit better. That's positive.

I'm with you, Izzy_76. I only weigh when I visit my doctor. I rely on how my clothes fit. It's less stressful.

Totally agree. Clothes don’t lie. And muscle weighs more than fat, so the scale isn't always the best indicator.

Hey! I am taking shots. Early on I had some nausea if I ate too much or too fast. That's the only ongoing side effect.

I've been thinking about trying semaglutide again. I'm 5'0 and at 165, it's not a good space to be in. I'm pre-diabetic and that's scary. It took me two months to get a referral to a specialist last time.
