Ozempic weight loss, how fast?

Nothing is a miracle boo. There will be repercussions

Are you concerned that there are going to be long-term side effects?

20 pounds in 9 months but I haven’t been actively dieting, just relying on decreased appetite. I’ve also been sick a lot so I haven’t been exercising like I used to.

I lost 6 lbs the first month, 10 the second, 8 the third and now it's been 2-3 lbs/month. I've lost 35 lbs and have a few more to go.

Those first 3 months were all at low doses - .25 and .5. Then went to 1.0. I am now starting to go back down and hope to be off it in about 3 months for at least a little while.

No, she is not. She couldn't care less about that. She is just mad she can't get the drug and do it as well.

I’m on wegovy and on team miracle drug. Started at 185, perimenopause and some terrible eating habits had me weighing more than when I was 9 months pregnant.
July- .25 dose, 9 pounds
August- .5 dose, 9 pounds
September- .5 dose, 4 pounds
October-.5 dose, 3 pounds
November- .5 dose, 5 pounds
December- .5 dose, tbd but probably 2 pounds

I’m going to stay on this dose for the foreseeable future. I wanted to lose 30 and couldn’t conceive 40, but now that’s my goal even it it takes a long time.

I'm on Wegovy. 18 shots so far, so 4.5 months. I'm on 1mg now and will not go higher-I started losing right away on .25, and have continued to lose at the same rate.

I've lost 30 lb exactly. So, 1-2 lb per week, which I am very happy with. I don't have skin sagging or 'ozempic face' or any of that. It wasn't even noticable until recently. I was not seeking 'fast' weight loss. I already was physically active so that has been good. I'm getting my high cholesterol re-tested next week and I can't wait to see if it's gone down since before Wegovy!

I was 5 am 195 and it took 7 months to get to 175. I have plateued here for the next six months but I was hampered by a knee injury preventing cardio and with Halloween candy etc so I can’t complain. My goal is 155

Do I just ask my doctor about getting some? I’m 5’5 and 193. Workout frequently but can’t lose, definitely toned. I’d like to get back down to 150-160.

Do you still have muscle tone or does it make you skinny-fat?

I don’t get it. You are using an expensive injectable drug, yet you can’t manage to avoid “Halloween candy etc..”?

I have muscle tone. I work a physical job, walking and lifting. I'm never going to be svelte-I'm 52, short and had some kids. I'm just less fat, which I'm happy with.

Yes. Just ask your doctor.
