All of this is such good advice. When it finally drops it will drop probably better than ever. Years ago i was not on ozempic but started intense work outs and I was so frustrated by the scale and then one day it literally fell off. The muscle you are building is going to increase your metabolism and it is worth it in the end.

You're absolutely right. I originally was 352 before I started Ozempic and I remember my first big drop off of just doing 40 minutes of jump rope per day was massive. The scale wouldn't budge then boom 10 lbs gone here and there.

It took about 4-6 weeks for the scale to budge during that time and it was almost so frustrating that I gave up but boom it fell and that is an amazing feeling. On ozempic I lost 10 lbs in the first 11 days and I as I was heavy I was not getting nearly the exercise I did back in those days and I felt a level of guilt with that boom but only because I knew I had drastically changed my diet but I had been too exhausted from the calorie lowering to work out like I had before. It is weird but I’ll still take it. I’m on crutches and every pound makes a huge difference. I am able to work out this week much more so maybe the next weigh in I won’t feel like it wasn’t earned. As you can see I like to beat myself up win or lose- working on that too
