Weygovy April 26 starters

[lechatnoir]

I’ve finally taken the plunge and just ordered Wegovy from Asda pharmacy. All been well it should be ready for collection on Tuesday so it would be great to hear from anyone else who has just started or is about start their WLI/Weygovy journey.
I’m very nervous and haven’t told anyone, but I’ve just failed at my 3rd diet attempt this year and feeling horribly self-conscious about my weight and dreading the summer so just thought fuck it, I’m going to give it a go.

SW 12st 2
TW: 9st 2

I'm new here and am in awe of everyone's stories . I started my journey mid February and was 170 pounds . Had wegovy 0:25 for the first 4 weeks and been on 0:5 since then . I've been lucky and not had any side effects . Occasional headaches and slight indigestion but that's it . I'm now down to 145 pounds and feel fab. Not sure how long I'm going to remain on the injection...maybe one more month after this pen. I am daunted to go alone I think but I've upped my exercise and have got into better eating habits and not deprived myself if I've fancied some chocolate or vodka or two .

I'm with numan and have a referral code if anyone wants to pm me for £80 off their order . I get £100 off . You'll then get a code to pass on .💪🏻
Good luck everyone.

@hoodiemassive I have moved up to 0.5 - take my first one on Wednesday- I’ve had no side effects and am down a stone in the first 3 weeks.

i am in awe of these losses. I honestly haven’t felt any different on this first week of 0.25. Maybe from being on Mounjaro those months back.

@RaelImperialAerosolKidthat’s an amazing loss well done! I lost 6lb in my first 4 weeks which is why I wanted to move up in the hope I can lose a bit more.

Morning all!
1.5 lbs down today. Not bad for 4 days!

I’m 2.5 kg down in a month, and jumped up to .5 2 weeks ago. Have cut out alcohol, am exercising, eating well.

I am feeling a little frustrated. Maybe it’s not working for me? Anyone else had this? I’m thrilled for everyone else’s losses but wish I was losing too.

1lb off this week which I’m a bit disappointed by as really haven’t gone off track at all this week. I’m happy with 9lb in total in 3 weeks but had hoped for at least 2 this week

@itsallabouttobegin I always find you have to even it out over the weeks, especially at the beginning. 9lb in total is great.

I have been on wegovy for a week. I have felt no suppression and no side effects. On MJ I had crazy nausea and diarrhoea and sulphur burps. I did start my monthly last night so not sure how that plays into things but I normally put on 6lb or something in the week around my period. I am
also so hungry on the week before my period. Anyone else? I will take my wegovy tonight and weigh tomorrow morning.

@itsallabouttobegin my weight has been stable for 7 or so days despite careful intake.
HOWEVER, my scale shows increased muscle, decreased fat, and still woefully dehydrated.
As mentioned, I delayed my 3rd injection by 2 days, no noticeable increase in appetite on day 8-9. I’ve slightly increased my apple settings (move and exercise) and adjusted my water settings.
would I love to see the scale drop yes but I’ll remain on track. My lower calorie meals will eventually make a difference.

@BreakingBroken which scales do you have please?

@Ibwah dh/I have a Nokia/Withings smart body scale. It’s older now I could use an upgrade, but all sync’d to Apple phones Apple Watch etc.
It’s times like this when the scale doesn’t reflect the effort that seeing the body composition helps.

Thanks all 😊 I’m sure I’ll see a better loss next week and still feeling pretty motivated

How is everyone getting on? The last 2 days I’ve deff found myself eating more and feeling picky & giving into the temptation. Trying to refocus now today and get back on track. I’ve 4 weeks until a big occasion/ event and would love to be down another half a stone or close enough.
we have holidays 2 weeks after that so would ideally love to fit into some of my old summer clothes 🙏🏽🤞🏽
has anyone been on holiday or going on holiday and how did u manage with injections? (We’ll be away for nearly 3 weeks so don’t want to take that long of a break from it)

@JumpingJacks11 wegovy can be kept at room temperature below 30 degrees so it will be fine for you to take away with you.

Having the same thought! I didn’t feel like I was seeing any effect at 0.25 but this week finally feel like maybe I am as noticeably less snacking. I think I’m going to do a second round at 0.25 for now but continue tracking food and running 2-3 times a week

I did my second week injection last night. Had my normal breakfast. I do feel quite full. I’m just surprised at how little side effects I’m having as Mounjaro kicked my butt with how terrible I felt. If this can help me stop snacking then hopefully it’ll be better all
round

I'm due my third jab on .25 tomorrow. I've had a massive drop in weight in these 2 weeks but I'm putting the blame for that on being post period topped by loss of post holiday bloat, so I'm expecting it to go up again.

Haven't had any side effects but definitely noticing less greediness, for want of a better word. I had muffins in the house during the week which would usually not get much beyond the front door jamb but I ate one and couldn't even look at the rest of them. Whether it be psychosomatic or the medication, I'll take it and run!!

I have started cycling which hurts like hell but feels great. Hopefully the arse and hands will toughen up soon...

Reading the widely different experiences with interest. I am due my third jab this week and have minimal weight loss (1.5 lbs) which is a bit demoralising. Since my 40s I have really struggled to lose weight and hoped WLI would give me more of a boost.

As for suppression I can’t really tell - I can still eat a normal size meal and I don’t tend to snack anyway. I’m finding it less tempting to drink, but that’s the only effect I’ve noticed. I wanted to stay on 0.25 for month two but given how little I am losing I think I’ll probably move up.

Hey @Pairymoppinssnap ! I too had planned to stay on 0.25 for a good couple of months but really not feeling the effects so will do my fourth 0.25mg jab on Tuesday but then thinking if that doesn’t kick in, I will have to go up to 0.5mg.

@lechatnoir Good to know you’re in a similiar boat and interested to know what you decide.

@lechatnoir @lechatnoir I don’t think I need to even wait to see- I am definitely going to go up to 0.5
I have made so much dal, it has filled a three
litre tub. Not sure what I was thinking!?

@Ibwah I’m a bit like that when I make a big batch of bean & veg soup - just watch you don’t get too bloated!!

I was due my 4th jab today but going to wait till tomorrow as still feeling ok. I have ate badly today pizza lunch although only had 1 slice and just had McDonald’s nuggets and chips but was easily full. I think sometimes when I’m too on it the loss does slow and I need a bit of a blow out to kick start my metabolism. I’m still really undecided whether to go up a dose but need to make up my mind in next few days.

@lechatnoir bloated is the least of mine and my colleagues problems 💨

@itsallabouttobegin i went out with the kids and had chicken nuggets (4) and small fries at bowling at lunch. I could not eat all of my dinner though (dal). Am totally stuffed. Maybe it is working…?
I have prepped this dal for the week and boiled 9 eggs to take to work.
