Wegovy

[kermitfan]

Hi

i have lost 4lbs in the first week, just wondering what everyone else has lost in their first, second, third…. weeks. Wondering what a possible 4 month weight loss might look like.

I'm end of week 4, 1 lb

How do you get it? My DH is on a trial of the active ingredient for diabetes and it has massively reduced his appetite. And lost weight without even thinking about it.

I am 11 weeks in and have lost 21lbs, slow and steady. Some weeks are better than others. I lost 6.5lbs in week 1 but only a total of 9.5lbs in the first 4 weeks. Stick with it and drink plenty.

8.6lbs week 1 (about 5% of my total body weight) but I'm at the same stage as you so following with interest.

13st 7.8 - start weight
13st 5.6 -2.2lbs -2.2lbs
13st 2.6 -3lbs -5.2lbs
13st 0.4 -2.2lbs -7.4lbs
12st 11.6 -2.8lbs -10.2lbs
12st 10.4 -1.2lbs -11.4lbs
12st 6.2 -4.2lbs -15.6lbs
12st 6 -0.2lbs -15.8lbs
12st 5.2 -0.8lbs -16.6lbs
12st 3.8 -1.4lbs -18lbs
12st 1.8 -2lbs -20lbs
12st 0.8 -1lb -21lbs
11st 12.8 -2lbs -23lbs
11st 12.2 -0.6lbs -23.6lbs
11st 9.4 -2.8lbs -26.4lbs

I've been on it 14 weeks and lost 26.4lbs if that helps.

SW 16st
Week 1 (0.25) -6lb
Week 2 (0.25) -5lb
Week 3 (0.25) +4lb
Week 4 (0.25) -2lb
Week 5 (0.5) -3lb
Week 6 (0.5) -1lb
Week 7 (0.5) -4lb
Week 8 (0.5) -1.5lb
Week 9 (1.0) tbc

Am generally pretty happy with the loss- am noticing a difference in my clothes. Still 3.5st to go!

week 2 = 1lb off

thats 5lbs in 2 weeks pretty slow progress 😟

6 weeks in and 1stone 3lb lost, but last two weeks plateaued.

About to move to month 2, and am 0.8lb UP!!!

I started 31st October 2023 so very almost 4 months in and I have lost 1st 6lbs.
From
What I've read, spending many an hour scrolling various forums, is that 5lb per month is the average loss. Obviously in the first month you loose more, and some you just maintain, but the average over a long period is 5lb.

I’m keen to know if anybody on Wegovy has been counting calories or just eating as normal?

I’ve been advised to track my calorie intake on MyFitnessPal to 1600 calories a day, (I'm
5.7’’ 14st 5lbs) and eat more protein at the same as taking the Wegovy.

Wondered if anyone was doing anything similar?

Been on Wegovy 6 weeks and lost 9lbs.

I track sometimes. My diet in the week is quite samey and I know it will be under so don't always bother.

Hi everyone.
I'm after after some advice. I'm just had my 6th week wegovy injection (now on 0.5mg), and I've weighed myself as usual and I've lost in total 31lbs in 5 weeks. I'm over the moon with this and I still have a long way to go. But to lose this much in such a short space of time is this OK? I have stopped with the advice of my GP the Pregablin for my fibromyalgia as this has effected my weight gain massively so I know that will have contributed to the loss.

Any one had similar issues?

I have lost 29lbs since Feb. Never got to the max dose. Stayed on 1.7 for 2 months. Only 7lbs away from goal.

31 in 5 weeks is nuts and can't be healthy. At the very you're looking at loose skin, before you get to complications from fast weight loss like gallstones and pancreatitis. 31 pounds means you've had a calorie deficit of 93000 on 5 weeks, which means you're burning 2500 calories a day more than you're eating. Does that reflect how much you've exercised/ how little you've eaten or is there something else going on?

I say this as a wegovy user who has lost 50 pounds in 7 months, so I'm not anti-jab!

Just updating for anyone still following, now in my 15th week and 41lbs down, definately some plateaus, very very little appetite (not sure I've gone over 1000 calories more than 5 times in the 15 weeks). About 20lb still to go

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. My exercise has increased dramatically, my appetite reduced but making sure I'm eating 1500-2000 per day. No sickness or anything. Had my regular bloods done 2 weeks ago and they were perfect.

The only thing I can put it down to coming off the Pregablin as to why its came off so quick. I have a lot to lose in total 10st. I just was wondering if anyone had the same experience as coming off medication at the same time as starting wegovy.

I think i will contact the my GP next week and see what they say I may need to keep on the lower dose or something. I will keep you's updated.
Thanks
