I did my first jab on 27 May and am 3.5 pounds down … would love to chat if anyone else is starting around now

Thanks both. I am definitely feeling ‘snackish’ for the first time in 5 weeks (tomorrow will be my 6th dose, I’m now on my 2nd pen of 0.25). I’m planning on giving it another week but if effects are wearing off, both in terms of food noise and not losing, I’ll see if I can go up to 0.5 …

So I’m having my first week where the scales aren’t really moving and I have felt my sweet tooth returning. I just did my first jab of my second 0.25 pen, will be doing second injection this week, but wondering if I should have gone up to 0.5? I’m reluctant to increase dose because I don’t want nausea and Grim Taste to get worse. Anyone had a stall but not needed to increase dose?
and what about maybe counting clicks to increase to 0.37 rather than jumping to 0.5?

@joyous- I counted clicks to go from 0.25 to 0.3 and now 0.4 … it worked for me in not having side effects

my weight loss has been very slow (a pound a week) but I can see it’s coming off my waist …

I plan to go up to 0.5 next week

I read as well that it's not officially a stall until it's a month with no weight loss. I don't know if that helps you @JoyousAsOtters but I too have had little to no movement on the scales for the past week+ and it's helped me stay in perspective.

I'm finding a funny pattern though, that I have no food noise (absolute miracle for me and so worth the cost) but I can still eat past fullness if I want to once I'm actually sat there eating. It's very uncomfortable mind you, but I can and have done it a few times. Got to keep an eye on that.

Happy to report that the pound I went up has come off again, as well as another!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I tend to actually eat less on the weekends as we are so busy, but then I feel fatigued as I haven't eaten enough. Trying to have a bigger lunch this Saturday and see if that improves things.

Since this is my 7th week on wegovy the hair loss question I asked about a week ago up the nose was because I kept rubbing my nose from hay fever 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm a worry wort and dramatic. I haven't weighed myself today as Aunt flo showed and im quite bloated so I'm waiting till the weekend. I've made a blunder I ordered a (large) fleece for work back in March not realizing id be going on this journey and it's massive 😂 I can't order another till next year March but I'll be warm standing on the yard come winter I guess, at least I know the weight is dropping off slowly but nicely.

@Emowoman90 I did think the nose hairs falling out was a bit weird! Glad it’s not actual hair loss from the Wegovy.

I spot these weird things and go all dramatic over it all 😂

@Emowoman90 your nose alopecia did give me a laugh, so thanks for that!

Got my new pen delivered and due my first 0.5 dose tomorrow. Happy to be going up a dose. Most side effects have died off now, so it will be interesting to see if they come back with the dose increase.

@TerrorAustralisI didn’t get any side effects when I went up to 0.5 mg last week.
