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.

Definitely reduced suppression for me now too. Counted a few more clicks this week. Will do a 6 day gap for next few , then increase more after holidays... and try and me sensible!

Well I am up a pound this week, first this has happened since I started. Due period in next day or 2 so could be that but it does give a bit of a feeling of ‘oh god what if it stopped working and I just gradually put it all back on’ 😫 I had good enough suppression and deff not eating any more but I am doing more weights and running so could be putting back on a bit of muscle. Who knows
i Do need to focus back on protein and water, that’s not anywhere as good as it was the first few months

i fully get that @JumpingJacks11
i've pretty much stalled on the scale, and motivation totally gone since dh had his health scare.
yesterday i spoke to the pharmacist to double check when my prescription runs out...next month (6 weeks) i'll need to review this with the doctor and I do wonder why i've not gone up to the 5 (or midway 3.75) as maybe coming off and keeping the weight off will be impossible.
lots on my mind and still lots to loose, i tried on a fitness bra and the back roll and belly look was not a good one.

Holidays somewhere warm is helping as definitely only having 1 meal a day, though with a yoghurt pot and fruit for breakfast and the pre-dinner beer/ wine may offset that benefit, who knows?!

Great thanks. I'll have a look and order it tonight 😃

How’s everyone going? I completely messed up my last pen and thinking I had a dose left when I didn’t meant I’ve had a week off which included a holiday. The good news is I’ve not gained anything however I have pretty much stalled this past month so decided to go up to the 1mg and that arrives tomorrow. I’m determined to get to target (19lbs/8.5kg) before we go away again at half term so hoping the increased dose will get me there.

so i'm pleasantly surprised with my am weight 157.3
down 1.5 from last week with ZERO effort, focus or exercise.
still using .25 and even if slow i'm too lazy to increase that this pen.
still no exercise mojo but with the weather improving and fingers cross some mojo might come back.

Well pharmacist has declined my reorder of 0.5 and suggesting I go back to 0.25 as it’s been 7 weeks since my order so they obviously know I’m using it for 0.25 🙄 so frustrating because the 0.25 and 0.5 pen are exact same price for me but I obviously get 2 months out of the 0.5 pen

@JumpingJacks11 thanks for warning. I'm possibly into that situation too. Who is your provider?

back from 10 days hols 1lb up but not too despondent. Day off thinking about food today as off out for gcse celebration dinner with DC - and exh. Wearing my size 12 jeans!!

@VividDeer im not in the uk so different providers here. I’ve replied just saying I was on holiday for 2 weeks so hadn’t brought it away with me so that was the delay in reordering but she hasn’t replied and just has the order ‘on hold’ such a torture. How many weeks since u have reordered?

@jabsahoy congrats on the jeans, great feeling and I hope u enjoyed the celebratory meal 😁

@VividDeer well it’s been approved but with a lot of back and forth. I will just reorder around the 4 week mark next month and by then hopefully I’ll be at goal weight please god as that’ll give me 16 weeks.
it makes me wonder how they manage maintenance though or are they ok with u having longer periods between orders when it’s for maintenance maybe.
id hope 0.5 pen would do me even longer if just at maintenance (as in do 0.25 injection every 10-12 days at that point 🤷🏼‍♀️)

anyways lesson learned here

@JumpingJacks11 thanks. I've been ordering at 4 weeks so have a stockpile. So this time looking to push it a bit longer.
Think I'm having to go up to 0.5 anyway as I'm putting on weight over summer holidays!
I did 25 clicks this time on day 6. As away again tomorrow

I gained four pounds during a three week break in July. After four weeks back on 1mg I’ve only lost two of those pounds back. So in total I think 16 pounds overall after four months.

I get a lot of GLP1 content on my social media feeds and I am noticing a bit of a shift in emphasis that moderate/ fairly unimpressive weight loss such as mine is actually the norm. Most people plateau or stop taking the meds for various reasons. We see the really dramatic weight loss stories but not the really average ones. I obviously had much higher expectations when I started but now am realising that I may not get to where I wanted to.

@Pairymoppins i'm pleased with my initial drop and am tolerating this slow drawn out phase mainly because i've (still) lost my mojo and am not following through with; water, protein, exercise and calorie counting.
i'm loosing very slowly with zero effort so i can't complain but know that IF i put in SOME work i would be getting better results.

I’m 9.7kg down since mid April. I’ve gone up the doses slowly, and I’m on .75 now. It’s good to read that most people have a slower trajectory - the media would have us all think loss should be faster than that. I’d love to lose another 10kg but I’m in no hurry.

Have a good week, everyone 😘

Yes similar loss for me 19lb/8.5kg in 5 months so equally slow. I have just gone up to 0.75kg to try and shift things a bit more over the next few weeks as I’m still a way off my target.

Good to hear where others are at. I’ve reordered 1mg and will keep going for the moment. Like you @BreakingBroken I know I can do better with protein, fibre etc . I’m relying just on the moderate appetite suppression which I really only notice at dinner.

@Pairymoppins @lechatnoir @cafenoirbiscuit @BreakingBroken In fairness I think slow and steady, 1-2 pounds a week, is the ideal way to lose it, they say it’s not as easy to put back on when lost in that way.
it’s weird the way it works so strongly for some and not for others though. I do think we are prob pushed the big transformations on social media to encourage ppl into using it.

over the last 2 weeks I’ve had a good few comments on losing weight and what am I doing etc.. finding it a little awkward to know what to say. ‘Been a busy summer on the go or sure the kids never let me sit down etc.. ‘ what are others saying…
Ive hit the 30 pounds mark and deff notice a difference myself so it’s prob only normal for ppl to mention it.

@JumpingJacks11 when i sought help for my weight (reflux and cholesterol) i was at a very high weight for me. although I had seen 186+ a couple other times in my life, it was not where my weight "usually was".
for the past 25+ years my weight is closer to what my current weight is now 150-160 zone with me only reaching 140 or less a few times over the same 25 years.
so i've not had any comments.
CW 157.5
although i still complain at 150 i'm usually much more comfortable in my skin at that weight.
still being 5'3" a weight of 140 is much healthier IF i can reach it and IF i can maintain it.

Weekly weigh in for me down another 2lbs so I’m really pleased the higher dose has obviously paid off. I did 0.8mg today so still not at the 1mg and if I can keep at this level the 1mg pen will give me an extra dose which is great.
