Down 100+ pounds thanks to Sema!

[Jordan_23]

I used to be around 350. Now I'm at 242! It's not all due to semaglutide, but I'm really happy with the progress it's helped me make. I'm on 1.5mg now, but I'm thinking of dropping down to 1.25mg for a little bit.

Wow, you look amazing!

That's amazing progress! How long have you been on it?

 

[Old_Great]

242? No way! You look much lighter, like in the 160s!

Fantastic job! Please share any tips that aren't semaglutide-related. It's great to hear success stories like this, not just what you read in magazines. I agree with Old_Great, you look like you weigh much less than that. Thanks for sharing!

Way to go!!!

Thanks, everyone! Hawkxx, I've been on and off for a little over a year. The longest stretch consecutively was about 7 months, I think?

For anyone just starting, don't be alarmed if you see a big drop at first. I've seen people lose about 10 pounds in the initial weeks, then it slows down.

That's good to know, Old_Great. I'm only down a handful of pounds after a couple of weeks, and I was starting to wonder if it was working!

I used to be around 350. Now I'm at 242!

That's such an accomplishment! How has your diet changed, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Jordan_23]

L_M_B_Life, mostly smaller portions and more protein. I try to get at least 80g of protein a day. The semaglutide really helps with the cravings, so it's easier to stick to it.

I'm on my second dose and haven't lost anything yet. Is that normal?
