4 weeks in and 11.5lb off. Not bad considering that included a week on holiday! Now time for 5mg
I promise (from personal experience!) things change as you move up doses.First week of Wegovy 0.25 and I’ve definitely felt less hungry and stayed in my calorie deficit but no weight loss and I’m not managing to go to the toilet. I believe it’s all quite normal and common but I’m so disappointed, I was desperate to lose even a pound.
You will not regret it! And you will still be able to eat chocolate, just not a lot of it. The difference is, you can choose whether you want to eat it rather than feel you need to eat it.I got my MJ delivery today. I’m going to take weight and measurements tonight and then inject.
I had a wobble earlier thinking that I will never be able to eat chocolate again and whether I can do it. I had to remind myself that this is part of the food noise I experience and what has stopped me from successfully dieting or losing weight before. I really hope it’s going to dull those voices in my head about food!
On Oz you are on loading doses at the beginning. Weight loss may not happen till higher doses. My doctor said the weight didn't go on overnight and will not come off overnight so give it a decent whack of time.Well I think I'm one of those people Wegovy doesn't work for. I took my second dose yesterday and still nothing. I have lost a pound but I've also cut snacks (which is how I planned to eat alongside the jab anyway). I'm drinking lots of water. I feel exactly the same. I think I'll carry on with the last two jabs and a month on 0.5 to give it a proper go but it is quite disappointing to hear of others having a markedly reduced appetite.
Thanks for the advice, I'm just waiting for my order to be confirmed so will hopefully have my first MJ pen on Wednesday and a million more questions for you all xTo all the newbies starting take photos. I didn't and am a camera avoided. Saw a photo of me caught unawares full length and couldn't believe it was me. I leave a normal figure. First time ever.
On my lower doses it seemed like the drug was more ‘effective’ when I injected into my stomach? But that’s very much anecdotal! Not sure of the science. These days I just alternate thighs as I find it easier to do.3rd injection of 1.7mg wegovy yesterday. Lost 2lbs in two and a half weeks so feeling a bit deflated 🥲
does anyone know if there’s a reason for changing location each week other than not injecting the same spot? I’ve been doing my left thigh but doing different spots each week- hadn’t realised it was meant to be different location rather than just avoid the last injection site since I started- wondering if I need to actually swap for a specific reason![]()
Hi there, my thoughts:Hi all, new to the thread but finding it really informative, thank you!
I have a BMI of 39 so a lot to lose. I’m so close to pulling the trigger and ordering Mounjaro but I still have a couple of concerns.
- side effects. Has anyone found them debilitating?
- loose skin ?
- I really love food, cooking, baking etc. It’s a big part of who I am. Obviously I’d rather not be so obese, but I don’t actually want to lose my love and enjoyment of food. Will it disappear completely? Or will I still enjoy it but just in more sensible moderation?
- what is the current thinking about coming off it in the end? Are you almost guaranteed to put all the weight back on?
thanks so much in advance if anyone can help. Also, I’ve done lots of research but what are you all finding the best place to get MJ?
I'm not on any injections but read here often as it is very tempting to start!I also saw this thread on Reddit, may be useful to those on here too trying to hit/maximise their protein intake![]()
the hunger is switched off but you still need to eat xx try boiled eggs, chicken, cheese, be careful about constipation so drink plenty of water. I'm week 3, my appetite has returned so I'm having to work at it now. Keep goingSo I’m on day 4 I’ve had to force myself to eat. I’ve managed a bit of toast with marmalade, not going to weigh myself again now until Thursday now but impressed so far with the lack of side effects.
