Finally seeing results!

[DoseReady]

I've always had problems with my weight because of PCOS. Nothing ever seemed to work long-term. I'm so glad I found something that's making a difference. I've gone from 235 lbs to 184 lbs and I'm feeling so much better in general!

I also have PCOS, and next Feb will mark a year since I started on Ozempic. I've managed to lose nearly 45 lbs (aiming for another 50 or so). It's been a slow process, but it's showing me that I can't just eat whatever I want anymore, especially sweets. The side effects are a good reminder that I need to change my eating habits to prevent gaining weight. As a T2D, I might be on this for life, depending.

Fellow PCOS sister here! So proud of your progress! Absolutely amazing!

You are doing remarkably well. Do you mind sharing how long it took you to lose the weight? I started three weeks ago at 232 and I'm now at 220. I'm very pleased with the early results.

Amazing job! You look fantastic!

 

[Thin-Possible]

Really awesome! Great job!

 

[DoseReady]

We started at similar weights. What's your target weight? How's your energy level? You look fantastic.

 

[Ratched_00]

Could you share your timeline, please? You look great! Congratulations!

Impressive! At what dose did you start noticing the biggest changes?

 

[wobbly-regrouping]

Moved from 2.5 to 5mg, now stepping up to 10mg next. Saw someone on reddit mention they hit the real results around 15mg after being stuck at 8mg. At 5mg I'm not dropping weight, just holding steady. My appetite is controlled but the scale's not budging, so upping the dose seems right.

 

[CaffeineQueen79]

As a fellow PCOS sufferer, this is very inspiring. I had my third dose of .25mg today and I'm not seeing a huge change yet, but I'm excited for what's ahead. I hope you continue to see great results!

 

[ReceptorQueen]

You look wonderful! PCOS here as well, and this medication is really effective! I'm nearly 6 feet tall, started at a similar weight to you and I'm about 15 lbs under your current weight.... You look absolutely brilliant!!

 

[GoalWeightBetty]

So happy for you, congratulations!

 

[HungryHippoNoMore]

Amazing, congrats!! Also a PCOS gal here!! How long did the transformation take?

 

[Thin-Possible]

That quiet realization that it's actually making a difference is such a great feeling. Glad you're experiencing it now; that's when Zappy started feeling worthwhile for me too.

 

[Scale_Jail_Break]

I dipped under 200lbs this past week for the first time in a few years! Down just over 30lbs total. Such a great feeling.

Impressive trajectory. This kind of steady progress is what actually lasts long term.

Do you mind sharing how long it took you to lose the weight?

For me, the heaviest losses were between months 3-6, but I've been on it for 9 months now. I'm still losing, just at a slower pace.
