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?

@TrumptontownHave you had your pen yet ? Mine has arrived and I’m a bit nervous about using it for the first time.

Yes! Planning on starting tomorrow as I have quite a free weekend (in case I get side effects). I’ve been assured that the needle is tiny and you barely feel it x

You really won’t feel the needle it is SO tiny. I’ve found injecting in my stomach the easiest but have done thighs too

I did my first 0.25mg dose last Tuesday - I'm 95kg and 5'7", I'm looking to get to 70kg or less but whatever gets me to a size 12 really (18 at the moment).

At the moment I'm wanting smaller meals and I'm trying to have them be more protein dense. I can't calorie count, it wrecks my head, but I think I should probably work out some daily meal plans that are below my TDEE and eat them on autopilot.

I can’t wait to go up to 0.5 this week, I’m definitely noticing less effect on the 0.25 now and chocolate cravings/food noise are there which I’m not loving. Still losing just vv slowly at the moment

Hi everyone, I've been following along for a bit so thought I would say hello. Took my first dose of 0.25 at the start of May and I have just taken my first dose of 0.5 on Saturday. I still had quite a lot of food noise and hunger on 0.25, managed to lose 4 or 5lb in that first 4 weeks bur didn't notice a huge change.

Pleased to say I have noticed a big difference so far on 0.5 - yes a few extra gastro side effects - some bloating, indigestion and light nausea, but manageable. Food noise and appetite are significantly reduced so far, so I'm looking forward to hopefully more progress in the weeks ahead! Hope everyone has a good week.

Hello - room for a newbie? 👋 I'm on my second week of my first pen (0.25) and have been pleasantly surprised!

I don't know why I was expecting it to not work but I felt different almost straight away. Not quite appetite suppression, but more like feeling fuller quicker and from less food. And I lost more than I expected in week 1.

At the start of week 2, I think I'm seeing much less puffiness/inflammation around my face - has anyone else noticed this? I'm hopeful I'll see my jawline again one day!

GW 75kg (first goal....)

I started today and managed to waste a whole dose having not read the instructions properly 🙄. As I delayed starting I hopefully won’t have a gap. I’m very interested to see how things are from here. Starting dose is 0.25.

I started around a similar weight and honestly felt really nervous pressing order too 😅 I’ve found Wegovy much more manageable once I stopped expecting perfection and just focused on smaller portions and getting into a better routine gradually.

Did you squirt a load out by accident, cos if so, this happened to me! Voy told me not to worry about it (after checking where the plunger was at) and to just to do the first dose.

Have felt no difference on 0.25. Hope tge next dose up starts to work for me.

I turned it right up to the 0.25 and ended up wasting the lot ! My fault for not reading it properly. I have now had a dose (without waiting the count to six so I’m not really sure if it is a full dose). I feel a touch nauseous but that might be due to anything.

I'm coming up for week 4. I think it would work if my head was in the game. I lost about 8lbs in week 1, but I think this was actually due to heartbreak. In the other weeks, I've been in near constant fuck it/holiday mode. Ended up putting 6lbs back on. It does work in that I feel fuller longer, and have less cravings, it's literally just my own bad habits holding me back that I haven't got in the right head space to over come yet. I'm not even hungry, but will still eat food just because it's there. Probably not as much to pile on more weight, but not enough to lose either

This is so encouraging, im doing my first 0.5 dose tomorrow, I’ve lost about 3kg in the first month of .25, but the effects have been minimal, still having quite a bit of food noise and minimal surpression. Will update tomorrow!

@MrsKurz 3kg is still a decent weight loss in a month, congrats!

Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I took my 4th jab on Monday and for the first time I'm feeling side effects - headache, nausea, freezing cold. I've had good suppression right from the first jab, which then seemed to start to wear off a couple of days before my next jab was due, but I didn't have any side effects. Has anybody else had delayed side effects like this? X

First jab of 0.5 done. Have lost nothing on 0.25 but then again I have been on holiday, and I didn't feel that it was doing anything to suppress appetite. Jab felt stingy going in more so than the 0.25 but that might have been imagination.

Fingers crossed for a bit more effect.

Seems like a few of us are onto the 0.5 this week!

My first day on 0.5 and I didn’t eat anything apart from dinner. Feels like a good start.

just taken my 0.5 jab. Curious how quickly I might feel effects as the 0.25 did nothing for the first few days. Hoping side effects don’t get too bad either, I didn’t have any on 0.25

@TipsyLaird curious to hear how you feel today, I’ve just started the 0.5 today and also hoping for more effect than the 0.25

So far - feeling fine. Bit of indigestion and burping which is what happened when I started on the lower dose. But no nausea, headaches or anything.

Hiya. I was meant to start 0.5 on the weekend but I accidentally forgot the pen whilst away for a week so click counted 0.375. Really wish I had taken the entire 0.5 as no side effects and quite a bit of food noise. Although I couldn’t finish my dinner tonight so maybe starting to work finally? Will take 0.5 on Sunday.
