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!

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

Not PP but I've lost 35 lbs and have not lost muscle tone according the the InBody scan. I've always been pretty solid though. And I will say that dropping the extra weight makes running MUCH easier. I don't get winded and have increased my speed.

I lost 11 lbs. in the first month on 0.25mg/wk
.
I lost 8 lbs. in the second month on 0.5mg/wk.

I stayed at .5mg/wk. a few weeks into month 3 and my rate of weight loss had tapered off. That was when I titrated up to 1.0mg/wk.

By the end of month 4, I had lost a total of 32 lbs. Having lost an average of 8 lbs./month I set out to continue, if possible, to lose at or near that rate as long as I needed to keep losing. It was at that time that I titrated up to 1.7mg/wk.

By the end of month 7, I had lost 55 lbs and I felt good about staying in that range.

It has now been 10 months since I started compounded semaglutide. For the past few months, I have not been actively trying to lose but still, I have lost another 5 lbs down to a total loss of 60 lbs. A few weeks ago, I titrated from 1.7mg/wk. down to 1.5mg/wk. My long-term plan is not to wean off semaglutide completely but to continue to titrate down until I get dialed in on a dosage required for me to stay in the range I am at now... 55 to 60 lbs. lower than my starting weight.

Yes.
