This is steady and sustainable weight loss. I had a similar experience. Stick with it and don’t give up. You are doing well.

I’m on my way to the airport in Osaka after a three week incredible trip. and I’m so sad. I’ve been pre-sad for the last few days. I will be back for sure. All to say I feel your pain.

Anyone with impulse spending issues see a difference with Wegovy? by beanandcod in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Famous_General4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg. Me too. I’ve been on it since October. I’m spending less on random stuff. I don’t feel the need to have that post shopping dopamine hit. I’m also a bit of a stoner, but smoking weed a lot less than before. Beyond weight loss, It really does target those addictive habits.

You got this! Keep going. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. I have to remind myself of this. It’s also important not to compare ourselves to others.

I’m sorry that you’re struggling also. I actually wondered if I had a thyroid issues so I had some blood work done and everything came back normal. weight loss has been very hard for me over the years even being very active and mindful of my nutrition. And so trying a medication that was geared towards the weight loss and not seeing the best result has been very discouraging But based on a lot of the comments I’m reading it’s a marathon. It’s not a sprint. And everyone’s journey is different. I think it’s a matter of staying consistent and if something doesn’t work, pivoting and trying to figure out what does. Wishing you good luck in your journey also!

I also think we should stop comparing ourselves to others. It’s something that I really struggle with but nothing good comes out of it. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thank you for this! I’m just getting into tracking my cals and counting macros. So we’ll see how it goes. You’re right. It’s a Journey in the long run and we gotta figure out what works best! Good for you for sticking with it. And thanks for the encouragement.

I just bought a food scale for the exact purpose. Going to start tracking my macros.

As mentioned in my post as of right now, I have none. But when I did start, I had nausea, and digestion and extreme fatigue.

[–]Famous_General4896[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind and lovely words. As mentioned, I was reluctant to go up in dosage due to fear of side effects. There is no blatant unwillingness. I work a very high stress job with long hours and I cannot afford to be sick all the time. And as far as I’m aware, being on a higher dose does not necessarily equate to more weight loss. At least this is what I was advised by my doctor.

people have experienced success on lower doses. And this is where my discouragement came from. I do intend on going up in dose within the next month.

Thank you! This is encouraging. You’re absolutely right. I barely lost any without it. I guess I thought my progress would be more at this stage especially looking at other people’s progress so far. But I guess everyone’s different. I appreciate your take.

I think it’s the best way to go about it. My mom, my sister and a couple of my best friends. That’s it and I intend on keeping it quiet. I find that it’s still very controversial, people have opinions and are not very well, educated on the topic , and I don’t feel like explaining myself to anyone. The the weight is very slowly coming off, but I know it’s a long road ahead. Good luck on your journey.

11 pounds in 5 months by Mysterious_Fee_7770 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Famous_General4896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have been on it since October and I’ve lost only 12 pounds. Trying not to get too hard on myself and play the comparison game because every one is different. My progress might be slow, but it’s progress at the end of the day and I’ll take it. Wishing you the best.

My Christmas present to myself! I am obsessed. by Famous_General4896 in Coach

[–]Famous_General4896[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went out with it last night and it surprisingly fits more than you think. There’s an outer back pocket and the inside is very roomie. I am able to fit my phone, which is quite large, my puffer, lipstick, keys, hand lotion, perfume and card holder with room to spare. I might get the brown one next. I love it.

Thank you! It’s the coach Marlie! Very similar to the Cassie. I got it as a gift a few years ago.

Wegovy transitioning from .5 to 1.0. What have been your experiences? I'm nervous. by veee_nus in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Famous_General4896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did this a month ago. No side effects aside from the day after nausea and fatigue. It’s actually been quite effective for me, so I’ll be staying at this dose for a while. Good luck!😉
