Scale isn't everything, check the mirror!

The photo alignment tip is genuinely useful and makes a big difference in how clearly the change reads - when starting height, stance, and shoulder angle aren't matched between photos, the comparison reads less dramatically than it actually is. Matching the same fixed reference points in both photos is the quick fix.
 
the shoulder angle and arm positioning change is one of the first visible composition shifts that shows up in photos - the slope-to-right-angle transition in the shoulder line reflects both fat loss and posture improvement from carrying less weight forward. it tends to show up in photographs before the person notices it in the mirror because we see ourselves in real time, not in the before-and-after comparison that makes the change obvious
 
the 2nd or 3rd dose timeline for really feeling the suppression is pretty standard, ya know? the first couple can feel like nothing much is happening and then it clicks. protein and water in the meantime is the whole game - gonna make a difference even when appetite isn't fully online yet.
 
That's exactly why keeping protein intake up and staying active in some form matters so much. Get the steps in however works, right from the start. Muscle comes off way easier on this medication than it goes back on. Currently pretty petite myself. Was aiming to hold at a slightly higher number but kept dropping regardless. Still try to hit a solid daily step count and work out at least a few times weekly, mostly core-focused. Have a bike and an elliptical at home. Nearly fifty and started this for type 2 diabetes. Been on it well over a year and sat steady at one number for months before suddenly dropping fast out of nowhere this month. Skin loses elasticity as we age, guess that's just part of it. But spacing injections out further could be worth trying, or cutting back the amount if that doesn't help, always with a doctor's guidance of course. Good luck.
