Next week marks 13 weeks since I started on semaglutide. Initial weight: 211 lbs. Current weight: 182 lbs. Goal weight: 155 lbs.

I've shed about 29 pounds in almost 3 months! Feeling MUCH better now. I can finally squeeze into my old jeans! It has been ages since I felt good in denim.
 
Thanks for posting in this forum!

Just a reminder about our community rules. We don't allow discussions about compounded or unapproved versions of semaglutide, and selling or offering meds for sale, even in DMs, is prohibited. Don't respond to DMs from anyone offering such things; they are not endorsed by this group.

Wow, our stats are so similar! My first dose arrives this weekend. Current weight: 215, goal: 150. I'm 5'4" and from your pics, our body types seem alike. I'm hoping this med works for me. Not expecting rapid loss, but it would be nice. You look great! Congrats and keep it up; you're getting close! I haven't worn jeans in over a year, living in leggings. I desperately want to wear jeans again. :/

Could you share some details about your experience, like dosages, side effects, and how diet and exercise fit in?

Thanks!
 
Saturday will be week 4 for me. How long until you start to see major changes? The food noise is gone, but that's it.
 
Amazing! Can you please answer some questions? It'll help me avoid errors. YukiWay What did you eat? Did salty foods cause water retention or slow loss? Did you exercise, and what kind? How much did you shed each month? Was loss faster at first? Did you titrate up? Thanks! Any other tips?
 
What was your titration schedule? Like, how long were you on 0.25 before you increased to the next dose? I'm just starting on 0.25.
 
Congrats on 3 months! I'm on a similar timeline and got started using an online telehealth provider. The consistent process adds up!
 
Hi Blair03 and big-mood -- I started at 0.25 for four weeks, then 0.5 for four weeks, and now I'm on 1.0. I'm going to stay here for a bit, as I'm still seeing results. As for diet, I try to focus on protein and veggies. I do feel like salty foods make me retain water. I try to walk 30 minutes a day. The first month I lost about 12 pounds, the second maybe 10, and this month is slowing down.
 
I've been on this for about 5 months now and it's been a wild ride. Started at 225, now I'm hovering around 200. Slow and steady, which is what I wanted. I've had minimal side effects, thankfully.
 
I’m so happy for you.

I lost about 20 pounds since December taking the slow route with zero side effects. Starting weight was 224 and I’m at 203 today.
