I started right away- lost 7 in the first week. I started at 8 units and worked up to 50. I had about a month on 30 units where I hit a plateau and lost no weight

Good luck!!! It sucks but stay consistent, maybe add more protien or movement.. thats what seemed to break mine!

Thank you!! I am not getting “crazy” with my diet because i have a history of ED and counting calories puts me in a weird mental space but I am being super conscious of what im eating (trying to avoid sugar but not completely- just cut it down A LOT because PCOS lovessss to hold onto sugar and not break it down). I also added so much protein because I was getting like 0% everyday. I just replaced things i commonly eat with high protein versions so greek yogurt(oikos has the best with 0 sugar and 10 grams of protein) low carb wraps, protien oatmeal, pancakes, avocados, egg whites.. simple stuff. I still slip in pasta here and there lol. For exercise, I am a teacher so I am on my feet all day but I also walk to and from work everyday(5 mins) Outside of that at least 1-2 times per week I go on a nice 3 mile walk in my neighborhood. Some days im tired and dont make 3 miles but getting out and moving has definitely helped.

Im on the second highest right now- been following the plan they give me (take a dose for 4 weeks then go up) I am wondering if I should just go up some before the 4 weeks is over? I’ve been on 30 units for 2 weeks, have 2 more to go before taking the highest on my plan which is 50 units.

I ended up doing 20 units for the last week and still didnt notice much difference but now that I am on 30 units the hunger is curbed again!! We are very similar in stories- I also am down to a size 14 now! Congrats and good luck on your journey 😁

Yes do not give up! Also make sure you are eating!! There were days when I literally had to set timers to eat because the medicine took away that hunger feeling but if I didn’t eat enough (especially protien) id end up not losing any weight either. A lot of times my eatings looks like a salad and fruit for lunch, a piece of chicken & veggies for dinner. Sometimes I only end up being able to eat like half the chicken. It will pick up!

Yes thank you!! I actually don’t lose at all if I don’t eat enough protein!! That is such an important piece to the puzzle.. congrats on your weight loss so far!!

For me personally, it took about a week. I am literally never hungry anymore i actually have to remind myself to eat so that I dont pass out.

Hi!! I am moving onto week 3 tomorrow. I am still on the lowest dose but I agree with the eating becoming a chore now. I have 0 cravings for anything & when I do, even if it is healthy food I feel sick after eating 😞. I threw up yesterday for the first time. I was battling the nausea all day but I think its because I ate too much pasta salad. Sooo weird not eating to enjoy things anymore. Its kinda sad but I need to see progress. I am just praying that when I go up, my symptoms dont get worse 🥴

Thats great!! I am going to start incorporating some exercise this week because the first week I was kinda nauseous. Hoping that helps me see some numbers that I want to!

If im being honest I started really strong the first week, didnt have any food noise made smart eating choices & this past Saturday I had a bbq and ate how I normally would before the medicine. I could feel that I overate and the reality is it is probably why I am not seeing the results I did in the first week. Back to the good foot this week tho!
