Down 40 in 9 weeks on Wegovy!

[Hawkxx]

Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update on my progress! Started at 270, now at 230. Just took my first 1mg dose today! Been doing about an hour of strength training, plus 30-60 minutes of cardio. Cut out milk products and added a calcium supplement because of some… digestive issues. Otherwise, things are going smoothly.

Congrats!!! Now, I'm going to be that person... Losing over 4lb a week might be too fast for most folks. There's a higher risk of gallstones, hair thinning, vitamin deficiencies, and saggy skin if you lose weight too quickly. A safe rate is about 1-2 pounds per week. Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone reading.

Wow, 40lbs in a little over 2 months is amazing!! Great job!

It's taken me almost a year to lose that much weight! You're crushing it.

First off, @Hawkxx, congrats! That's fast progress! For the newer folks reading: Don't assume this is the norm! It can take half a year, maybe a whole year, to get these kinds of results. Don't get discouraged if you're not seeing the same speed. Only about 20% are what we'd call 'super responders.' Keep it up!

That is incredible. Congrats!

Dude, same! People think I'm starving myself, but I just wrapped up 8 weeks on Reta and some growth hormone, and I'm down almost 40 while actually gaining muscle.

 

[Hawkxx]

9 weeks flew by!

Losing weight fast can be great, but remember to build good habits for the long term so it stays off! Slow and steady is still the best way. Congrats!

 

[VialGains]

A HUGE congrats!!! What type of sema are you using to get to this point? Also what dosage amount are you taking? BTW you are stunning in both pics!

I'm down 34 pounds after 8 doses. Starting 1mL this week. Feeling great, but anticipating the slowdown. Started at 345, now at 311. Goal is 220-230.

 

[Calorie_Hustle]

I'm only down 18 pounds in 17 weeks. Keep crushing it. You look great!

 

[Tirz_Chick614]

Amazing!

 

[Hawkxx]

I've been lifting weights for years, so I think that's helped. Plus, I'm really watching what I eat. Lots of protein!

Absolutely! It's not just about the medication, but making lifestyle changes.

I saw a pic of someone in their wedding dress a year later, and the difference was unbelievable! I'm hoping to have that kind of progress to share eventually.

You totally will! Just keep working hard, and listen to your body. Slow and steady wins the race, even if @Hawkxx is blazing the trail!

I get it - tracking CGM data and labs every six weeks gives me confidence too. Taking a break from Wegovy just makes sense if you're managing side effects well and staying on top of your numbers.

i started running every morning just to spite my doctor when she said i couldn't reverse my type 2 alone. got myself from near 300 down to 265 with diet and running but was stuck, so started tirz and it made recovery so much easier.
