Wegovy July starters

Hello! Can’t see a thread for this! I injected for the first time yesterday and am spending today wondering if I feel sick, if I am hungry or if I need to drink more, if this headache is a side effect or a need to drink more and all sorts of other things!

I’m 82 kilos. I would like to be about 67….

Hi there I've just ordered my first lot of MJ but I'm away from home so can't get started until Sunday at the earliest. I didn't expect the delivery to be so quick!

I was thinking about waiting until next Friday or so to get the maximum benefit over the weekends but I'm not sure if it really matters.

I'm a bit nervous tbh. My start weight is around 18st 10 - I have lost 3 st myself but am struggling to keep it going hence the MJ.

82kg is unimaginable to me as an end weight never mind a start weight! I've completely lost sight of what is 'normal'.

Hello! Just found this thread. I took my second 2.5mg dose yesterday. I have 2 stone to lose but I’m taking Wegoby more for the ADHD benefits my friend experienced on it — fewer negative thoughts, less pessimism, more oomph. Am feeling good so far but have dry eyes. Not lost any weight.

This thread doesn't seem to have gone anywhere somekindofmeh and I see that you, like OP, are on Wegovy while I have ordered MJ (still haven't started!). I was just reading a few other threads which are really interesting and supportive but I didn't want to just ignore the fact that you had commented.

OP there is a June 25 Wegovy thread which is quiet as well. Maybe we could combine with July as well as we are all new in the journey!

Thank you @inmyheadimthequeen— good luck with your MJ! I might switch to that next month. I like Wegovy but I still think about food more often than I expected.

Signing in! 3 jabs into Wegovy.

I lost 3 kgs in the first week and haven’t weighed since then as am on holiday. Feeling far less suppression in these recent weeks but also harder to have complete control over food given the local eaterie options, so would’ve be surprised if I’ve put those 3kgs back on.

The plan for when I get home is to ask my gym for a weights programme and focus on going 2 if not 3 times per week. Losing weight is one thing but I want to look toned as well as slimmer and not the dreaded skinny fat. I don’t love calorie counting either as just can’t be arsed after a few days.

Also interested in ADHD impact as suspect I’m mildly at least ADHD.

I joined the June starter thread but it’s mainly Mounjaro over there. They are a lovely bunch so will post here and there. Nice to chat to Wegovy folk specifically.

How’s everyone doing?

Hi!
Taking my first wegovy dose tomorrow (big day out with kids today so didnt want to risk side effects). Starting at bmi 30.5. Always used to be really into my fitness and healthy eating but after some trauma gained gained tried lots of ways to lose weight but little long term success. Really impacted my self esteem and emotions the past 4 years. My thinking is if I can use this to lose the weight maintaining will be easier purely from a fact maintenance calories are alot higher and I intend to up my swimming and walking (bought a walking pad 3 days ago).

Starting on a 0.25 dose.
