May 2026 Wegovy starters

[TipsyLaird]

Have done it. Ordered my first 0.25 pen of Wegovy. Current weight 80.2kg and 165 com tall. Want to be more like 70kg. Thanks to whoever posted a 25% off code for Zava.

anyone else joining me as a May 2026 Wegovy start?

@Learningdutch is there a reason you'd stayed on 0.25 for two months if you're not feeling an effect? Although it does work for some people it's only meant to be a starter dose to get your body used to it. I hope you have more success with the next one.

I'm white knuckling a little at the minute. I messed up my dosing schedule and I'm trying to go a bit longer so I can get back to dosing Sunday or Monday. It dont want to have high supression on a weekend because my weekends are a lot more active and it's affected my energy levels too much. The heat is helping me though as salad and fruit is more appealing then usual!

I feel you. I'm 8 weeks in but only 8lbs down. With the tiny amount I'm able to eat I should have lost at least a stone by now!. I actually gained a pound this week...go figure. I'm not sure this stuffs worth the money.
Saying that, I tried mounjaro last year. Side effects were horrendous - almost constant headache, heartburn, sickness, muscle pains, and diarrhoea so bad I had to have a week off work with it. I gave up after the first pen. Weight loss? With all that diarrhoea and sickness? 3 bloody pounds!

@Proteinpudding I had a 2 week holiday abroad in between my first 2 pens so didn't want to increase dose after the gap.

Sorry to hear that a few of you are struggling with side effects and little to no progress weight loss.
I have no advice as I’m only in my 5th week and stayed on starter dose for month 2.
My progress is slow but that’s fine for me as I wanted to keep up my nutrition and not rush the process.
I had given myself a 6month window to make changes to my eating habits and quantities to hopefully lose the excess 20lbs.

Hope someone has some advice that will help those struggling

@Learningdutch ah that makes sense. Hope you have a better result on your next pen

Sorry to hear it's not going as expected for some. I wouldn't throw in the towel yet @Learningdutch if you're still on 0.25mg as that's such a tiny starting dose, It's normal not to feel much on it.

I've just taken my last 0.5mg this morning, and will move up to .75mg next week as per my doctors instructions. She would prefer to ramp up more slowly, so I'm click counting out of a 1mg pen. Seem to have broken through my 2 week plateau and am down a bit again.

SW: 81.9kg
CW: 76.8kg
GW: 60kg

I'm generally losing around .5-1kg per week (other than my 2 week plateau). And I've gotten back to the gym which I'm sure is helping everything.
