Down 22lbs in 3 months!

[PlateauCrusher]

Hey everyone! So, I was diagnosed with insulin resistance last year and started on metformin. Then my doc switched me to Saxenda, and I was on 1.8mg for about 9 months, but she didn't feel I was progressing enough. Even though I'd already dropped around 13 pounds, she put me on Wegovy. I was 192 lbs in June, and now I'm at 170 lbs! That's a 22 lb loss in only 3 months. I see her again at the end of Sept, so fingers crossed! I did have some side effects at first, like feeling full really quickly and some nausea. The first week, my stomach was a mess and I threw up. It happened one day a week for the next couple weeks, but that's been it. I started at 1.0mg. For Saxenda, I started at 208 lbs and am now 170 lbs. Almost a 40 lb difference!

Keep it up!

Wonderful news!!! Hopefully, the nausea will decrease! Consider consuming more protein. It was helpful for me!

Amazing!

Thanks! It's been almost a year for me. It's been way easier than I thought it would be.

Congrats, PlateauCrusher - that's quite an accomplishment! I'm a nurse, and I'm down about 75 pounds myself. I went from a size 2x to a medium in scrubs! Almost to my 100-pound goal!

Wow, Trail_05, you're an inspiration! I just started, and I'm hoping to see similar results. Any advice for a newbie?

I've lost about 7 stone, which is like 100 pounds! Still have about 35 pounds to go, but I'm getting there. My starting weight was 300 pounds and now I'm down to 200! I'm 5'8". Making healthier habits has helped me tremendously.
