Ozempic face is real!

[LeanStrong]

I started on semaglutide in June '23, but I hit my highest weight around March '23. I also started weight lifting around August '24, which has been a MASSIVE help. I never noticed the change until people commented on how I looked. Total, I've dropped about 115 pounds and I'm still going!

You're like a completely different person, that's awesome!

I've been taking Ozempic for almost 4 months now:

8 weeks @ 0.25mg
6 weeks @ 0.5mg
1 week @ 1.0mg

Plus exercise classes 5-6 times weekly, lifting weights at home about 4 times a week, and walking 40 minutes to and from class. I'm eating around 1200-1400 calories, and I've only lost about 2 pounds so far... Feeling discouraged.

Congrats!! I've also started strength training recently, and it's a total game changer. It took me a while to figure out a routine, but thankfully this forum helped me out with suggestions. You got this!

I appreciate you sharing the photos. It's motivating to move forward towards a healthier weight. Thank you.

Thanks, everyone! It's been a long road, but definitely worth it. Seeing your own progress (and other people's!) helps so much.

Wow LeanStrong, you're doing amazing! How long did it take you to see the *biggest* difference?

How long did it take you to see the *biggest* difference?

Honestly, the first 6 months were the fastest. Then it slowed down a bit, but that's when I really started focusing on strength training and building muscle. That made a huge difference, both in how I looked and how I felt.

Seeing before and after pics is so inspiring! Found this on Reddit: Same pair of shorts, huge difference a year later! It's all about trusting the process! Reddit Link
