Wegovy

[tryingtocarpediem]

Hi, new here. I took my first injection of wegovy on Thursday and wondered if there was anyone else who's just started it?

I'm feeling fine so far. Tiny head ache yesterday but otherwise no other side effects yet.

@AHouseInTheForestI'm on 1.7mg. I should go up to the 2.4, I know, but it was just SO expensive. I'm worried the higher dose won't make any difference. I do give in to the craving unfortunately and I do seem to be able to eat a fair bit of it. It's really so depressing. I really must sort it out.🥺

How is everyone? So after 9 months since my first dose of Wegovy I finally weighed myself. (Hubby has been on a health kick and so replaced the batteries in the scale!). I was curious so weighed myself for the first time since January 2024..
I’ve lost 2.5 stone! I’m just a few pounds off my lowest ever weight which is when I was breastfeeding twins in 2017. I’m shocked as I really didn’t think I’d lost so much.
I heard a really interesting podcast the other day about micro-dosing GLP-1s. I have stayed on 0.5 mostly this whole time and with the occasional break for holidays. The podcast was promoting this method of small doses with breaks to allow it to build up again so you don’t habituate to it and flood your system with large doses. Dunno if it’s just coincidence but it’s definitely worked for me.

Hi, I started taking wegovy on 5th January this year starting obviously on 0.5 I’m now taking 1mg but so disappointed as I’ve only lost a few lbs. Inwardly I feel better but I started taking it purely to lose weight. My pharmacist is telling me to believe in the process and stay positive but I’m finding it very difficult. Has anyone else been in this position? any advice would be really helpful

Hi there. I started wegovy a similar time to you. I started on 0.25mg for the first 4 weeks, I thought that was standard. Im surprised yiu were able to start on .5mg. Were you switching from another wli? I have stayed on 0.5mg for the 2nd and 3rd months, and intend to keep there again next month as im now losing a steady approx 0.5kg per week, with an overall loss of 12.5kg since jan 7th.
I have achieved this loss by sticking to below 1200 cals per day with adequate levels of protein, and regular intensive exercise. Are you limiting your cals and exercising regularly?
