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?

That doesn’t seem that slow at all! Seems like a good rate of loss for the first 4 weeks

So I’ve been in a bit of a “plateau” the last week. Just frustrating because I know I’m eating in a deficit, and I’m feeling more effect on the 0.5 so I’m not sure why my weight loss has slowed down right when I’ve started that dose 😂😂

my weekly average is down, but only 0.25kg…

Well, I haven't started Wegovy yet as MIL's funeral isn't until Friday, and I just don't have the headspace to start anything till after that... I'm getting lots of emails about the new Wegovy tablet from SheMed/ Juniper etc, so will look into that too. Have to say a pill might be easier for me to manage than an injection!

I also worry about side effects (I work in a school so frequent toilet trips would be difficult!), but I'm guessing those wouldn't be too bad at a low dose?

@JaneLockland sorry to hear about your MIL, and I think you're right to wait until you have some headspace to think about losing weight, cooking etc. Re side effects though, not everyone has them - and the more common would be going to the bathroom less often, rather than more. Everyone is different though so its best to start them say the evening before a day off, just in case. Personally I haven't had any noticeable side effects.

My update - started mid may
SW 63.5kg
CW 60.5kg
So 3kg in a month. I did my last dose a couple of days late and I don't feel much supression right now, but I'm going to stick to 0.25kg for my fifth dose and see if I can get back on track rather than increasing if possible. My goal is to lose slow and steady and hopefully try and adjust to smaller portions and in the future maintain without WLI. I'm aware the odds are stacked against that though!

@Proteinpudding
well done on your progress

I’m also sticking with 0.25 dose for month 2 though I’m wondering if I’ve made the right decision as this last week weight loss is stalling and I’ve noticed a few “hand in the biscuit tin” temptations creeping in. I’ve received my second month pen from farmeci yesterday which I’ll start end of this week.
As a side note the packaging from Farmeci was interesting. It came with an ice pack (which I’m keeping frozen for icing injuries) and wrapped in a plastic bag filled with compostable sheep wool. So all fully recyclable which is good.

wishing all May starters positive losses this week

@dodgeThePot same about the biscuit tin! Though I'm aware that 3-4 weeks in is the sort of time I'd usually give up on a regular diet/healthy eating kick so I'm thinking it could be psychological. I've added raw veg to my meals yesterday and at breakfast to try and get back to feeling full on low calories.

Well today has been hard, I’ve lost nothing in the last 2 weeks, and today I am HUNGRY, and definitely over my calorie goal. I’ve definitely not been as good at planning protein and meals this last week either, so I need to get back to that. I’m hoping it’s still going to work properly at some point and not just wear off after the first week.

Oh @MrsKurzi am with you. For the first week of 0.5 I had some proper noticeable suppression and early satiety, but since then my appetite feels normal and anything I achieve is by willpower alone. Yesterday I did my third 0.5mg and felt absolutely no impact at all - I too was v hungry.

it feels at odds with other people’s experiences but reading online the true effect is only to be expected from week 8 - is 1mg our next dosage? So I think all these weeks so far are mainly about our bodies adjusting to the stuff, to minimise side effects. Let’s keep the faith? roll on week 8!!!

@aaahshoot
thats interesting about the 8 weeks and dosage build up.
I’m a few weeks behind your start and although I’m not feeling the hunger I’m still probably eating too larger meals as I’m trying to keep the nutrients fibre and protein high. This last week (week 4) weight loss is stalling.
I’m trying not to fixate too much on the scales as my aim is also to cut out crap snacking and processed foods improve my diet and lower my cholesterol.

@aaahshoot yes definitely keeping the faith and trying not to be too hard on myself. I spoke with my doctor and she said it’s also very normal to have these plateaus especially while titration up. I think the therapeutic doses are at 1.75 and 2.5mg. Yes next dose is 1mg, I’ll have 1 more 0.5mg shot next Thursday and then up to 1mg hopefully

Another week with no loss. Started on 0.5mg last night so hopefully it’ll start to work.
I have been constipated. Ended up drinking a pint of prune juice yesterday along with my daily senna tablets and that eventually worked (TMI). I hoped that might have cleared it but no.

i suppose it’s just frustrating. You spend so much money and everyone talks about it being a “wonder drug” but nothing seems to be happening. I still think about food all the time. The only change is that I can’t face alcohol, which is actually a shame as I like a drink on a Friday night.

Third dose of 0.5 done on Werdnesday and definitely not feeling hungry at all. And bad acid reflux again at night. Haven't weighed myself for a few days but will do so later and check in.

Yesterday I did my 5th injection (0.25mg)
Haven't weighed for a few days but have a feeling I’ve stalled or even put on pounds.
Still sticking to eating 3 meals with no snacking maybe I need to adjust portion size next.
Still getting constipation weekly which is my only side effect despite eating seemingly plenty of oats berries prunes veg and whole meal and lots of water.

Has anyone got any tips for “moving things along” in that respect ?!!!

Can you add in soaked chia seeds or ground flax seeds?

So today I am 76.9 kg which is down 3.3kg or 7 lbs since I started. Not massive, but I’m ok with that progress.

Well done @TipsyLaird ! We're very similar, I'm 77.5 at the moment, down from 81.9kg starting, so around 4.4kg. Still not had any loss the last 2 weeks though since starting 0.5. Feeling less hungry, but still getting some food noise. Hopefully it'll start to properly kick in once Im up to 1mg.

Hello all! I started 3 weeks ago at 12 stone 6. Im 5foot 3. I started wegovy. I am now down 10lbs. Im really impressed as ive been trying for 2 years to lose this weight with gym and protein and kept putting weight on. Im thrilled. I haven't told anyone except my husband and manager at work as I dont want to be judged.

@Trumptontown
Thanks for the advice I do already sprinkle chia seeds over breakfast berries and skyre yogurt I’ll try them in water and try to increase the quantity to see if any improvement.

Today’s progress update as expected weight stayed the same no loss this week
week 5 5th dose 0.25mg
Height 5ft7.5
Sw 12st 7lb
Cw 11st 11

@Ontobetterthings
well done great progress

Lidl sugar free squash.......seriously, the stuffs like drain cleaner!

@MrsO2b
😂thanks for the suggestion 😂

Taken my 7th .25 injection and just ordered .5 (lost one jab as needle wasn't in!). Have lost 4lb at most though that includes 3 weeks away. Not feeling suppression. Waiting for dose approval but think this might be the last pen for me.

I'm not sure whether I'm continuing either. I should have taken the last jab out of the 0.5 this morning and just can't face it. Yes I am losing weight, but only because I feel constantly nauseous and full of acid.
