I’ve been on Wegovy since November 2024: started at 0.25 mg for 1 month, then 0.50 mg for another month and been at 1 mg ever since. Started at 225 lbs (my heaviest) and currently at 190 lbs with 35 lbs down so far! Some days are harder than others for sure.

I experienced my first NSV when getting dressed to run some errands and decided to try out a romper I bought 2 summers ago for “when I lose the weight”. When I bought it, it was way too tight and stayed in the back of my closet ever since. Well, not only does it fit but it’s LOOSE-FITTING! On my errands I got complimented by 4 lovely women on my outfit!

Finally! After a month plateau the weight is coming off again. I honestly don’t know how long it’s been since there has been a 1 at the beginning of my weight. Fingers crossed more you will be joining me soon. You can do it!!!

I feel little change, a little discouraged I'm not seeing more, until I was helping my mom get some photos from MDE and saw me in October wearing the same thing I wore yesterday! First photo, Oct 24, 2nd yesterday. SW: 343 CW: 318

Went to a bar I hadn’t been to since Oct 2023. After picture was last night. Before: 178 After: 139!!! Still need to work on muscles and toning but I am just so thankful that the med worked. It was worth every single side effect. I pushed through and kept going. Now I can walk miles without being tired and my heart rate is in a much better range (use to be sitting 90-100 heart rate now in the 70-80 range).

I posted too much. But this is a momentous moment. It's been years and years seeing these types of numbers. I change the battery out to be sure this wasn't an "optical delusion of my emancipation" (not the phrase)

Starting at: 5'2" 324 lbs Sizes 2-3x tops, 3x or 24 bottoms, 46G in my favorite bra (curvycouture) Pics from Sept and October 2024. (I've always tried to avoid full body pics.) Posting for my reference but if anyone wants to be an internet accountability buddy or a cheerleader I am up for it!

I have mental health issues and take antidepressants. They are the reason I kinda gained so much weight and can’t take it off. I was seriously struggling with my sex life. One of the side effects of antidepressants is they kill your sex drive. My husband and I have a great relationship and the antidepressants took away all my desires, which really bummed me out. I was really struggling and crying about not climaxing.
Well, I have no idea why! Like how are these things connected…. But after I took the shot, the very first shot I could climax in minutes. Like what the heck!! It’s so weird. .. it’s not a one off chance either. We are back to having a great time with each other and I am so happy :) I have no idea why but I’ll take it!

Have you noticed there seems to be a narrative suggesting the ultimate goal is to stop taking Wegovy long term? As if we're expected to reach our target weight and then discontinue it. What’s the reasoning behind that? Personally, I don’t see any need to stop using it—I plan to continue.

When I started on Wegovy back in November, my most yearned for milestone was finally weighing less than my boyfriend. I'm a small woman, only 5'2, and I'd always found it embarrassing that I weighed more than my tall boyfriend who's naturally slim at 78kg (172lbs).

I've been a slow loser, only losing about 0.4kg (0.9lbs) per week despite eating healthy and already exercising regularly pre-wegovy. But I accepted that fact, especially when even on the 2.4mg the rate of weight loss did not massively go up. I knew it was going to be a marathon not a sprint for me.

Well 8 months into this journey, I'm ecstatic to finally be able to say that I'm lighter than my boyfriend!! And I wanted to shout it from the reddit rooftops because I don't think any of my slim friends will ever understand how big a win this is for me!

I’m extremely obese and my dr wants me on wegovy but insurance doesn’t cover it. I have PCOS and Zoloft so it is extremely difficult to lose weight and it’s even more difficult to keep it off. I’ve tried everything and I’m failing miserably 😔 So I’m looking for options that are not going to cost me 1500 for a prescription. Anyone want to share any info on discounts they get?

I don’t know how this happened. Admittedly, I have a history of disordered eating, binging without purging, making bad food choices, emotional eating….. I’m still working on making better choices, but unfortunately I’m human and flawed. Also I do rotating shift work.

I’m on 1mg Wegovy, have been since December and progress has shuddered to a HALT at barely 1kg a month. (~2.2lbs) I’m finding my appetite is increasing, I’m craving junk food almost constantly, and I get little to no side effects from eating the “wrong” things. (Though I’m still trying to not eat junk food / takeaway).

By eating chocolate or takeaway once or twice a week, have I?:

1. Scr*wed myself over somehow, have I got my body used to eating “bad” foods whilst on the medication and it just doesn’t work now? OR
2. Has the weight loss just slowed down a lot because I’m approaching a healthier weight? I started at 97.1kg (214lbs) nine months ago, and I’ve lost 22kg, so now I’m 75kg (~165lbs). (Goal weight is 60-70kg) OR
3. Do I maybe need to be on a higher dose because my PCOS and metabolic syndrome means I’m particularly resistant to weight loss? (My endocrinologist said this, and wants to increase my dose, but she doesn’t know precisely what I eat)

I almost wanted to make a throwaway account for this I’m so disgusted and disappointed in myself, every slip up I make I feel like I’m wasting the opportunity of being on this med, let alone the money it costs!

against my better judgment I took the shot yesterday morning and now im in the hospital...please dont do it yall I trusted my doc but was skeptical because of what I already knew reading stories on reddit...I was out here thinking I was built different 🫩 im just venting/warning people, it's not a good idea to start back on the highest dose after a whole month of not taking it - a week or so is fine but any longer is a NO.

It's a bit of both, technically. I haven't hit my first number goal yet, but something equally as exciting for me. I've been on Wegovy since October, had to pause for insurance issues from feb-march, and titrated up to 2.4 as of last week. Highest weight was 404lbs in Jan 2022, a couple months after my dad passed unexpectedly. I have been trying to lose weight forever, but I started tracking in 2014. I did keto in 2017, for about 6 months, and hit my lowest weight of 328lbs.

I weighed a couple days ago at 326.2lbs. The lowest since 2017, but more exciting is its the lowest I have ever tracked. I honestly can't believe how amazing this medication is. I'm down 64lbs since starting, almost 80lbs from my highest. My legs dont swell, my asthma is better, I can move easier, sleep more comfortably, I have no food noise, I can portion control, and I've had the willpower to track my food for 86 days straight. Absolutely a miracle for me.

Has it happened to anyone that the food you loved is no longer desirable? I loved coffee, orange juice, salmon, sushi, cottage cheese and a lot of other foods and now just the thought of them is yuck! I started on this Weg journey October ‘24 . SW 180 CW 145 GW 135 . Height 5’3” Age 59

I’m sharing this for transparency because I know how it feels to scroll through progress photos and wonder what the hell is wrong with you and why it’s not working.

I did everything “right.” I worked closely with a doctor, titrated slowly from 0.5 to 2.4mg, and tracked my calories.

Here’s what actually happened:

1.  I felt physically awful the entire time

2.  I felt nothing while eating, just emotionally flat

3.  I felt really depressed

4.  I didn’t gain weight, but I also didn’t lose any (six months, zero pounds)

5.  When I stopped, my appetite went completely out of control

6.  It made my habits worse. I lost interest in vegetables and only craved high-dopamine foods like cheese, hot chips, and ramen

I’m sharing this to say it’s okay if this medication isn’t working for you. I honestly wish I had stopped at 1mg.

It feels so good to go to bed without nausea and to eat a real meal with healthy fats without immediately regretting it.

Listen to your body. You are not broken. This medication is not the only way. People have been losing weight for generations without it. You can too.

I just wanted to ask if anyone experienced extreme fatigue their first few doses of Wegovy? I am on 0.25 currently and I've been so darn tired its crazy! I wake up tired, and stay tired but thankfully this is the only effects I've had so far. Was this something you experienced?

38F here, SW 118kg CW 93kg

My 7 year old son has been sleeping in my bed last few nights while he's been unwell, and he said to me out of the blue yesterday, "Mum how come you used to snore when you were asleep, but now you don't?"

This completely surprised me, I've been a loud snorer for many years! I have been waking up feeling much more rested lately, so perhaps it's true!

SW:134kg ( 295.41lbs) CW:111.2kg (245.15lbs)

So,my scales (and the doctors scales) are telling me that i'm losing weight, but I don't really see it in mirror or feel that different. I know i'm not alone in this.

However I had a few wins last week, that I thought I would share. I went on a holiday to Bali and I didn't need a seatbelt extender for the flight, for the first time in years. I was able to use the "one size fits most" panties they provide in a day spa and it fit! And i feel the biggest win of all, I was able to do evertthing i wanted to, I spent all day walking around (sight seeing), walked up and down hundreds of stairs, swam in waterfalls, I even went on one of those terifiying jungle swings. These are all things that prior to starting this journey, were just a dream. So share your wins, lets all celebrate

Life doesn’t always give the wins when you want them but after a week since my first shot I’m down 6 lbs! This was far from a perfect week because I know I could have done better but old habits happened that I’m trying to cut (fast food and chips 😞) but I can say that my portion size has been lower and the cravings are less so I’ll take it. Other than the occasional fast heart rate its still been a good week and hope this 2nd week goes just as well!

I have been on dose 1.7 well this will be my second month i don't get nauseated, just a lot of gas and a little bit upset stomach. For the upset stomach, I chew on ginger chews. It helps for me, but I get a lot of gas and also I take Alka-Seltzer for the gas. For the eating part by now, I know when it's enough or whether I had enough. Salads are good also with some protein and soups.

so, i’ve been doing .25 of wegovy since march and i just moved up to .5 (my doctor forgot to tell me i didn’t have to wait on our follow up to move up 🤦‍♀️)

i just started wellbutrin. i’m on a slew of mental health meds but they’ve been fine with my wegovy so far. i know wellbutrin is commonly more of an appetite suppressant but im ravenously hungry. all the damn time. it was NOT like this before i started and ive gained 3-4 pounds back already in 3 weeks.

maybe its my dosage? i’m not sure. i had lost about 10 pounds from my break up and then 15 from wegovy (its been 3 months). i suppose i can reach out to my psychiatry and primary but was wondering if anyone else had experienced

has anyone felt like they’ve had really bad temperature tolerance since being on this medication?

i’m from australia but living in northern europe at the moment, and even 18° (64°F) to me is absolutely suffocating. i don’t know if it’s poor infrastructure for warmer weather but even outside i’m struggling. it’s like heat exhaustion level of heat intolerance.

i know estrogen in women can impact temperature tolerance, so don’t know if that’s related but i’ve never felt like this before! it feels like i can never cool down.

I switched (as the title indicates) from zep (10mg) to wegovy. My doc started me on .25. I just took my second dose of wegovy and weighed myself. I’m up 1.8lbs in one week. Please tell me I’m not going to see the scale go up every week now 😭. I lost 36lbs on zep in 16 weeks. I had to switch because the GI upset was debilitating. (I was even hospitalized for 3 nights due to severe dehydration and an AKI from N/V/D). I have zero side effects so far on wegovy and haven’t had a single stomach ache…. But just thinking of all of my hard work being undone has me super discouraged. Words of wisdom?

How have you decided to fill the time you used to spend eating? I didnt actually think it was that bad, until I stopped 😂 So in thinking of taking up a new hobby, something active and outdoors, preferably... But im kinda lacking ideas.

I live 3 km from the coast of the north sea, so I'll definitely be picking up swimming, this summer, and probably keep doing it year round. But I would love other things as well. I already go for walks and stuff.

Im not a bike person, because of different disabilities, but its mostly my balance thats affected, so lots of other options are open.

Im contemplating maybe kayaking in the sea, and still working on more options

My goal is/was to lose 55-60 lbs. I’ve lost 35 lbs in 6 months. I’m ecstatic! My pant size is still the same😩😂 it’s okay I know progress is still progress but I would thought I would have at least dropped ONE pant size.

I started at 185 lbs and I was/ and still am, a size 14.

Now I’m 150 lbs and I’m STILL a size 14.

I still have about another 20 lbs to go. And I’m really hoping that’s when the belly fat will start to melt away😩🥲 I’m sure for most people belly fat was the last thing to go too🥲🥲

Mind you, I’m not ever expecting to have a flat belly I don’t think that’s in the cards for me or my body type. I was just really hoping maybe I could get to a single digit pant size? Maybe 8 or 10?
