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?

Weekly update
I’m yet to take my 12th dose (0.5 mg ) have stretched it out a couple of extra days was going to jab this morning but the heat lack of sleep and a dicky stomach this morning has delayed me.
so week 12
Height 5ft 7
Sw 12st 7lb
Cw 11st 2lb
week loss 1lb
Gw 11st

Have reordered and received next pen another 0.5mg this time I used new health and paid £75 as new customer.
Had an issue with last supplier Bolt who took a reoccurring payment from my bank after I’d cancelled subscription and without reviewing my progress which I’m still waiting on a refund for.
This week I’ve felt I’m eating regularly still the odd treat ( biscuit or3) ! But I must be in calorie deficit ( I don’t track but am mindful of nutrition) Eating evening meal much later at the moment so going to bed rather full feeling and that usually carries me until late morning /midday the following day so I’m fasting without necessarily trying to.

Hope everyone is doing well this week and keeping well hydrated.
I’m a summer sun lover but I’m so over these crazy hot temperatures!

Progress update
12th jab 0.5mg
I ended up stretching this dose out and completely missed a week so I was 15 days between 11th and 12th dose. No particular reason for it apart from I felt I was keeping on track and last weeks heat seemed to curb appetite anyway. I’ve done some long walks and more activity this week.
so Sw 12st 7lb
Cw 11st 2.5lb
half pound gain in the 2 week period.
happy where I’m at but will continue to try drop to 11st

Have 4th pen ready 0.5 mg again for next week.

hope everyone is doing ok
can we hear some updates please

1 dose left of 4th month whuch is due today. Last 2 on .5 but hardly any suppression on last werk and found myself snacking. Still 4lb from goal of 10 stone and started on 11 stone. Have ordered next dose up but that will have to be my last one.

Been here since the start.
Just finished 4th pen of 2.5
Started at 14st 5lb
This week 12st 4lb
I want another half stone then I'll be happy I've gone from a size 18-14.
I'm scared of upping the dose and it's still working so will stick at it and order another one I think 🤔

Not doing brill here. Started mid may, down around 4-5kg overall (which is proportionate for my size) but had some longer spaces between jabs as I was feeling a bit under the weather, and now my head doesn't feel in the game. Appetite supression is minor, I wouldn't say it's gone completely as I'm sure I'd be hungrier without the jabs, but I'm reaching for chocolate whereas previously I'd find it easy to say no.
I think it's just feeling a bit flat and wanting a 'treat'! Trying to focus more on exercise for the endorphin boost and to find my motivation again!

Good to hear the updates well done all.
I must admit as the weeks go by my head is less focused and I’m letting temptations take over. Trouble is that’s how most dieting and weight control goes for me eventually. Guess that’s why I’ve yo-yoed my whole adult life. Thankfully for me that yo-yo has only been a max of 2 stone up and down over the years so never got too out of control to pull back. I’m pretty happy now to be comfortable in my oldest summer clothes but I’ll never be what I consider thin/skinny or even at mid healthy bmi.
I envy those who can manage to stay a constant weight I’m sure it must take willpower and control.
For all of us trying on this thread keep going.

@Proteinpudding
i totally get how you’re feeling
good luck getting back on track

Thanks @dodgeThePot , I have been to an exercise class tonight so I'm glad I've done something towards it today! I think a bit like you, my enthusiasm has waned, though I have to remind myself I'm 3 months in and that's far longer than I've managed a calorie deficit before. I think the change in weather hasn't helped, somehow it's so much easier to want strawberries, and chicken salads, when it's sunny!
On the plus side I haven't gained, so I'm going to keep trying to make little shifts and hope they add up.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the quietness, we’ve had one of those survival weeks where I had food poisoning whilst both kids are sick and have been home full time so not good 😂

SW: 81.9kg
CW: 72.6kg
GW: 60kg

i am alllllmost 10kgs down, and almost halfway. I’m on 1mg now (just taken my 2nd jab), and I’m happy with the effects I’m feeling again now. It was wearing off at .75 a bit. Hoping things will keep going and I can get back to the gym next week.

Can I ask how you felt going from .75 to 1mg? I'm about to go up and feeling a bit wobbly about it.

I’ve noticed more appetite surpression but other than that no changes. I have been incredibly lucky with side effects though in that I haven’t had any negative ones the whole time. Think I had a tiny bit of heartburn in the first couple of weeks when I first started but that was it. I’ve also gone up v slowly since the beginning, 0.25mg each time

Back from hols. I’ll do a weigh in when the plane bloat subsides.
I've noticed that I need to ‘use’ Wegovy more. As in if I choose to I can override its effects. I need to get back to my earlier focus on watching what I eat. Interesting a couple of you have said similar.
Still on 0.5mg and although side effects aren’t bad I’m really reluctant to go up to 0.75. Will see how I feel over next two jabs.

Next dose up from 0.5 is 1 not 0.75 or are you planning to coout clicks. I've just got my 1mg pen but worried it might be too much of an increase. On the other hand barely any suppression now on 0.5.

I'm going up to 1mg from Monday and also a bit worried about doubling my current dose. I guess we'll see how it goes.

I managed to squirt some of mine on my leg before I got the needle in so no idea how much of the 1mg dose I actually injected!

I posted upthread about stalling and losing my focus a bit. I did my second jab of 0.5 at the weekend and it hit me like a brick, which is nice to know the the drug still works but a bit unfortunate the effect was at the start of a city break! I didn't have side effects, just felt so full that eating anything was tough, and if I'd been on my own I probably would have skipped some meals but that hasn't really been an option. I've been nibbling at my food and trying to focus on meat and salad (not that I'm trying to do low carb just trying to get nutrients and it doesn't appeal anyway)
Today was a little easier, managed my hotel breakfast. Im hoping I get a good effect next week where I won't be dependant on restaurant food, as I doubt I'll have lost anything this week (due to how everything is cooked) though I have been getting lots of steps in at least!

Hope those of you going up to 1mg do well on it.

Must have had a reasonable dose as feel a bit nauseous and full very quickly.

Wow, everybody still seems to be sticking with the lower doses and going well? I’ve just gone up to 2.4 which I think is the maximum? I have increased every four weeks, and in total have lost 12 lb over 16 weeks. I still want to lose just over a stone and am happy to do so slowly and steadily.

@aaahshoot I found i had quite a strong effect from the initial dose so stayed on it for a few weeks longer. Everyone reacts differently, you've got to do what's right for you.

I’ve been increasing every 4 weeks so far, but I think I’m going to stay on 1.7 when my next pen is due - I’m experiencing quite a lot of nausea and fatigue but no increased suppression on 1.7. I don’t want to go up to 2.4 and find it just increases side effects with no benefits. You have to listen to your own body though and do what’s right for you!

Decided to stick with 0.5mg for my next order. I’m feeling a bit more focused now I’ve given myself a talking to. I just don’t want to feel sick again with a dose increase!
SW 82.5kg (beginning May)
CW 70.2kg ish I think the plane bloat has settled!
GW 63kg

so only 1.5kg this month BUT seeing as I plateaued for a good week or so I’ll take that…. Back to consistent food logging. Which I didn’t do at all today 🙄

I'm going to moan! I've been on this since may and, despite counting everything, drinking lots of water and increasing exercise, I've only lost 13lbs. Saying that, I love reading about all your successes and seeing you all doing so well, although it's a little disheartening. I'm not sure what's going (or not going) on.
Ive gone up to 1mg this week and took my jab on Tuesday. So far the suppression is nil - I can't stay out of the fridge! Has anyone else experienced this when going up a dose where it takes a few days to feel the suppression? I don't remember this being the case with previous dose increases. I'm just feeling as though im doing all the right things, and spending all this money, but nothings happening. I've been the same weight for 3 weeks - fed up now! Cheer me up girls!

@MrsO2b I don't know what your starting point was, but I think losing a stone in three months is bloody good going! I've lost a similar amount and I don't think it's a slow weight loss? Remember if you lose weight very quickly it's more likely to be a lot of water weight and muscle loss as well as fat loss, and although that can seem nice on the scale, losing muscle isn't very flattering looks wise, and importantly affects your health and your likelihood of keeping weight off in the longer term.

Update
Sw 12st 7lb started 21/05/26
CW 11st 2.5
no weight change from last update however I’ve also not jabbed since 19/08
Happy to have maintained and done lots of uphill walking miles this week and regular eating pattern though perhaps more carb heavy than my usual diet while I was away.

I am intending to get back to regular weekly dosing for the month ahead and stay focused on food quality rather than quantity.
I have a new 4th pen to start (0.5mg) staying on lower doses but back to every week happy to maintain or just drop a final few lbs to 11st.
Lets keep going everyone 👍

@MrsO2b
Yes I’ve not felt the instant suppression it tends to be day 3/4 for me after jabbing.
slow and steady really is the best way as Proteinpudding said.
unsure of your age but I’m definitely finding weight loss sooooo much slower for me now at 58
Hope the increase dose kick starts some losses for you
