SW: 152 (I'm very short with very high BP) CW: 134 GW: 125 134 finally put me into normal BMI. I'm using compounded tirzepatide on the lowest dose since 2/1. I'm averaging a little over a lb a week with few side affects and since I only had 30ish to lose I'm okay with that. Not sure what my maintenance plan is yet. Losing more slowly as I get closer to the goal. |
No. Rybelsus is not anywhere near as effective. I tried it. |

Correction: SW was 146. I was originally 155 and lost the first 10 pounds on my own through diet and exercise over a year, but then stagnated. Started compounded Ozempic in February 2024 and am down about 10 pounds. Slow and steady. |
please tell me these are trolls who say they are taking it to lose 20 lbs. |
Not a troll. I would love to get down to 110 (I’m the 5’1” poster who lost 10 pounds in the past 3 months with compounded ozempic) but I’m trying to be realistic and aiming for 120 or 125. There is nothing wrong with overweight (nearly obese) people using these drugs. |

5’6” SW: 198 CW: 183 GW: 150 Started Mourjano/Zephound on March 5. Still at 2.5 due to shortages. I work out 5-6 days a week and had lost 30 lbs three years ago after cutting out dairy/gluten due to sensitivities. Never lost again. (Had put on a lot of weight after taking prednisone for a year to help with my RA.) |

Heaviest weight: 205 I lost 20 lbs using phentermine, but I was unable to lose any more; however, I stayed at 185 for two years before I started Wegovy SW (with Wegovy): 185 CW: 137 GW: 130 I've been on Wegovy for about 10 months |

SW: 191 GW: 135-140 CW:189 I have posted around here before: tried to lose weight starting at the start of this year, found I am insulin resistant and am the heaviest I’ve been in my adult life. (I developed GD and this is a downstream effect of that.) I did a telemedicine visit in a fit of frustration last weekend and got a prescription for compounded semaglutide. I took my first shot on Thursday. I have lost TWO pounds and my stomach already looks smaller. The increased/enhanced satiety is real and I understand that sema decreases inflammation. My blood sugar was also at a normal level this morning whereas I’d been experiencing the dawn effect previously despite cutting out sugar, gluten, etc. I’m brand new to this but from where I’m sitting this is a miracle drug. |
Start 185
Current 130 Goal 125 Age 63 Took me 2 years. Started on Ozempic and went over to Wegovy when it came out. Same drug: semaglutide. Feel great. |
Start: 165
Current: 144 Have been on the medication since last September. Currently on 5 mg of Monjaro every two weeks. Goal is the stay on this medication long term. I love the lack of food noise and am so much more productive and content. It is better than any anti depressant I ever tried. I pay $650 for four shots, so it ends up being $325 a month. I probably save that at least in not buying unhealthy food on a whim. |
I love how my brain chatter about food is GONE. I eat food to nourish my body. That’s it and I can focus on things that really make me happy. |
Does anyone know if One Medical prescribes wegovy or ozempic? |
