Down 37 pounds in 4 months!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
My first two months were slower - just 4 pounds - but the body shape shift was huge. More protein made all the difference for me.
 
Took it on doctor orders for years but the final bump totally wrecked my stomach so I had to quit. Packed on 10 pounds in two months after stopping, which led me to check out GLPs.
 
PCOS and IR together blunt early response - insulin resistance reduces the initial signal. 10kg in three months is meaningful. Titration for PCOS usually runs slower to manage the hormonal side.
 
37 in 4 months at 3.5mg while the person next to you is down 140 over 15 months - different timelines, both strong responses. The A1c improvement alongside the weight is the marker that's harder to fake and more important for long-term metabolic health.
 
30 months without missing a day is the kind of baseline that makes GLP-1 weight loss compound differently - you're not adding exercise, you're already exercising and the drug removes the metabolic ceiling. 37 pounds in 4 months with that activity foundation is ahead of the typical response curve.
 
Snoring stopping is one of the more life-changing side effects nobody talks about going in - the sleep quality shift is its own reward separate from the scale. Another 30 to goal is close enough to see.
 
37 lbs in 4 months at 64 on 3.5mg is genuinely strong progress - the pace is faster than most people see at that starting weight and age. The next 28 lbs to target tends to come more gradually as you get closer, which is the normal pattern; the rate slows but doesn't stop.

Protein tracking at this stage matters more than it did early on - the lower appetite makes it easy to miss the intake that protects lean mass at 64. Most men in this range find 140-160g/day needs active effort to hit when appetite is suppressed. The 3.5mg staying effective without needing bumps is a good sign.
 
27 lbs since March at low doses is really solid and it sounds like 3mg is doing good work. 252 to 215 in 4 months with 28 more to go on 3.5mg - the momentum is there. Keep it rolling!
 
9mg with a 500-800 calorie deficit and within 15 lbs of goal is a strong position. The OP's 28 lbs to go at 3.5mg has a lot of headroom to work with if needed. Body adapting at higher doses is normal and sometimes a slight dose bump rather than a bigger deficit is the easier lever at that stage.
 
1.6-2 lbs per week with zero plateaus on the gradual 2.5mg every 4 weeks protocol is a clean progression. The OP at 3.5mg and 28 to go has plenty of room to titrate further if the pace slows down. Consistent steady movement beats the fast start and stall pattern.
 
Personally I'd probably hold at 1mg for now.
3 pounds and the month's still got days left. Maybe give it another couple weeks and really nail down the fundamentals.
Recheck your calorie count. Actually log every single bite.
How's your water intake?
Are your lifting weights climbing?
 
Lost maybe two or three pounds the first two months. Third month at a moderate amount brought a much bigger total, it all came off pretty suddenly.
 
Don't know your stats exactly, but dropping 4 pounds in a single month sounds great!

Eleven months in for me now, currently at 10mg, and I've only managed about 5 pounds over the last quarter (roughly 18% total gone, still chasing another 15%). After that opening month, the target's usually framed as 2% monthly, not raw pounds or kilos. Mine's barely hitting 1.4%, but since the overall line keeps heading down I really can't complain much. Worth checking with your provider on realistic timelines.
 
Just starting, on 4 mg. Medication rarely affects me strongly, so I began at the 4mg dose, will hold 4 mg weekly for a month, then 6 next month. I was already losing 2-3 pounds a week before this, yet I'm after that stubborn visceral fat.
