How long did it take you to lose that 15%?1) I told mine after I started
2) the thyroid risk was identified in mice also being overweight is a cancer risk
3) stay on, I would say. I just checked and I’ve lost over 16% of my starting weight
This is exactly what keeps me going. It's such a relief and a freedom not to be thinking and guilt-tripping about food.Not a medical professional, but a common theme a lot of us seem to have commented on is it takes away the hunger feeling and helps break those patterns of: eating because you’re bored, eating because you need some comfort, basically eating for any reason other than you’re hungry. It helped re-shape my relationship with food, and with my body, so yes I think it should help with the willpower. Good luck
This is why I’ve decided to not continue with Oz. I’ve only done a weekThis is exactly what keeps me going. It's such a relief and a freedom not to be thinking and guilt-tripping about food.
However, I'm 9 weeks in on ozempic and since moving to 0.5g I'm killed with reflux and nausea. Does it get any better? I take the injection on a Thursday and have been sick for most weekends. I've even missed work because of it. I don't think I've figured out the right foods for me yet.
Can anyone relate? Or advise? Thank you x
thank you so much. That’s such a good way of looking at it! Excited to get started!1. I’ve told mine but if I hadn’t they’d have no clue
2. The risks of being overweight far outweighed the risk of cancer for me.
3. Stay on it. It’s not a diet, it’s a medication. You wouldn’t have cheat days or weeks off if you were taking heart medication or antidepressants etc, this should be treated the same. There are countless stories of people who stop taking it for a holiday and then it doesn’t work for them again.
I think the 15% is you’re supposed to lose that much in the first 12 weeks or it’s not working as it should for you? Unsure. I’ve lost around 30% of my starting weight now and have no issues getting prescribed (other than I’m v.close to target weight so I occasionally get extra questions).
£199 a month (£50 off the first month with code FRIEND50 from www.myjuniper.co.uk).Those who buy this themselves, how much are you paying and how long does a pen last?
I assume I'd need to consult my dr first, I have high blood pressure but no other health issues, but do not qualify for any help with weight loss on the NHS and feel this may be of some help?!
Thank you for the info!! Can I ask how you're eating/exercising? I have around 60lb to lose. My aim is to lower my bp and just feel better. I've lost weight before (10 stone to be exact) but gained it back through pregnancy and divorce stress and I am struggling to shift it again. I see so many people using this and feel it could benefit me£199 a month (£50 off the first month with code FRIEND50 from www.myjuniper.co.uk).
No GP consult needed (I’m in the UK).
I’m not technically obese, so wouldn’t have qualified, but if you’re creative with what you submit as your starting weight when you complete the online consultation you’ll be fine.
The pen contains 4 doses, so one a week for 4 weeks. I only anticipate needing it for one month. Two at a push. (I’ve averaging 4 pounds loss a week)
If you log your calories on MFP and use an Apple Watch you can see exactly what your deficit is each day. As soon as your deficit reaches 3600 Cals that one pound of fat loss. So if you do the maths you can figure out a good rate of weight loss. Keep in mind very rapid weight loss can lead to muscle wastage which won’t benefit your appearance or health. If you’re able to do them, strength workouts will help retain muscle and try hitting your protein targetThank you for the info!! Can I ask how you're eating/exercising? I have around 60lb to lose.

I’ve had no symptoms with ozempic other than tiredness either. And didn’t get many with Saxenda other than one dose increase which was awful and sickness that would come out of nowhere.I feel like the odd one out for having barely any symptoms. I feel really tired about 48 hrs after taking the jab, which lasts for about a day, but aside from that it’s all good
I’ve lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks and if I lose another 7, I’ll be where I want to be.
Sorry to be that smug person, I’m just so surprised at how effective Ozempic is, and how the stone I’ve been trying to lose for a year has literally just come off 🫣
You’re welcome. I walk our dog (slowlyThank you for the info!! Can I ask how you're eating/exercising? I have around 60lb to lose. My aim is to lower my bp and just feel better.

Are you based in Ireland? I can't get Saxenda either and I run out tomorrow. I tried calling chemist warehouse a few times so see if in stock but no answer.I am 5 weeks without a full dose now. The shortages are killing me. I felt like I had a sh*tty weekend food wise too. Picking and mindless eating. Grrrr. No weight up but maybe I need to track.
Just rang my pharmacy and still no straight answer.
I am going to cry while waiting the last months cript is gone out of date and I cannot get an appointment for new script until 23/05. FML veering between panic and you've got this. yes in Ireland.Are you based in Ireland? I can't get Saxenda either and I run out tomorrow.

I bet as soon as Wegovy is available here (per this Men's Health article below , it should be soon) it will be easier to get it as a prescription from the GP.Has anyone managed to get it on prescription from their gp ?
