Anybody just starting Wegovy?

[blondebombsite13]

Hi all, been reading some threads with interest but wondering if there’s anybody on Wegovy that would like to share progress? Or any stories / tips etc from people further along.

About me, I am 44 and just not losing the excess weight like I used to and so have finally taken the plunge and started on Wegovy.

I guess I chose Wegovy due to the proposed price increases of Mounjaro, also, I thought Wegovy might be a bit more slow and steady as I only want to lose a few stone. Although I could be wrong about that, but we’ll see.

I have ordered through Juniper and they sent me a set of scales which pair to the app so I don’t need to manually record my weight, it does it for me.

I’m not sure how accurate the scales are though so I will also probably keep an eye on my own scales.

I had thought my starting weight was 12 stone 7 but I weighed on Juniper scales just now and it says 12 stone 10. I think for the purposes of tracking and discussion here I’ll just use 12 stone 10.

This is almost the biggest I have ever been. Following the birth of my third child I was 13 stone and I managed to get down to 11 and a half, but despite my efforts, I’m now back up at 12 stone 10.

I took first jab this evening, seemed straightforward. Don’t feel any different yet. I could eat, but not starving, going to try not to have anything this evening although I think that will probably require sheer will power as probably too soon for the jab to have any effect.

So,
Starting weight: 12 stone 10
Current weight: 12 stone 10
Waist: 30.5 inches
Target weight: 10 stone 9

I have massively plateaued as well, up to 2.4 now and stuck at a 23lb loss but barely any movement on the scales since February. Like @blondebombsite13i’m resetting foodwise and concentrating on protein and fruit for snacks. Really need to build in some weight training but I find it incredibly boring and prefer to do something that involves more movement.

I lost 2lb of my 5lb but then put a 1lb on. I'm back to my - losing and gaining the same pound for weeks, which was the reason I went on WG in January. However, I'm choosing healthy foods, not buying crap to tempt us and have upped my swimming.

As long as I can stay under 12stone I'm happy.

I did look into how I could get another prescription but they want photos etc again and I look far too slim now to pass that check. Plus I can't think about the injections as something you take when you put a few pounds on - that's what willpower is for.
