[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on semaglutide for a year and lost about 40 lbs. But I was clinically overweight and with high A1C. Your BMI is well within normal ranges and you are exercising and overall sound very healthy. If you are truly eating clean and minimal calories you will literally need to starve yourself to lose the weight. Semaglutides aren't magic, they just make you eat less. Sounds like you don't have room to eat/drink less or exercise more so I doubt it will be very effective and may cause you some health issues if you end up cutting your calories too much.

Ignore the people telling you to exercise more - it sounds like you are already exercising 2 hours a day and walking 4-5 miles a day. How do you find time to work?[/quote]

I don’t work. My exercise pilates class is my social activity with friends and my walk/jog is with my dog. My A1C is 5.1 non fasting. I really don’t know what the issue is with my weight not moving. As you can see, weight loss is tricky and people have different ideas. Many people are not reading the post seeing Im lifting, doing cardio and eating clean. [/quote]

You have plateaued. I get it. You haven’t lost any weight at all after starting a heavy exercise regime and eating right. Just keep doing it. Eventually, the weight will come off. I’m in my late 40s and had a similar experience. I could not lose the ten pounds I’d gained from pregnancy. I exercised and ate well, but got nothing. It took two freaking years, TWO, before I lost a pound. Five years later, all the extra weight is off. It takes longer in our 40s, but it will happen, you have to keep going. Do not take drugs![/quote]
