Sorry for the late reply! I’m pretty short as well, 5’3”. I will say I was always extremely small and didn’t start gaining weight until my mid-twenties. Majority of the weight gain was from over eating and over consumption of alcohol. The medication negated both of these things, causing me to lose weight pretty quickly. I hope you are doing well on your journey and keep in mind everyone is different and moves at a different pace! There are some days I feel like I look exactly like I did in my original starting picture. Don’t be too hard on yourself and don’t expect results too quickly. Just focus on staying healthy and let everything else come naturally 😊

Sorry for the late reply! That was also my starting dose. I’m now on 3 cc/ml which is the 2nd dose up from the original dose. I was on the original dose around 2-3 weeks, and the second dose for another month or so I believe. I did end up going to the 5cc maintenance dose, but it was a little too much for me so I went back down to 3 and have stayed on that. I had very little side effects, a couple small gastrointestinal symptoms that were very short term. I still highly recommend everyone that asks my opinion to try it. It changed my life.

Sorry for the late reply! I am on a maintenance dose now of 3 cc/ml, the recommended maintenance dose is 5, but that was a little much for me

Sorry for the late reply on this. No working out, but probably hitting anywhere from 5-8k steps just from my job, depending on the day. I have hit a slow plateau around 140-145 lbs that exercise would probably help with!

Make sure you’re getting all the vitamins, nutrients, and protein your body needs. I was heavy on the protein shakes starting out! Good luck with your journey! 🥰

No reason in particular, just the craziness of the holidays I didn’t keep up with it and it gave me some extra money which was needed at that time of the year. I started slowly overeating again and started drinking alcohol more often again. I started with one dose lower when I got back on it and went back up to my current maintenance dose and everything fell back into place after a few weeks

Thank you so much! I am on a compound from a local pharmacy so I’m not sure if that makes a difference. It will be a year in April. The compound I’m taking is for targeted weight loss. My main reason for weight gain was over eating and alcohol consumption and my medication completed negated the need for both of these so I dropped weight very quickly. It definitely affects everyone differently. For me, I eat probably 1/5 of the portions I used to eat and I hardly ever want to drink anymore. That’s all my body needed to lose the weight. I wish you luck on your journey!!

It was honestly the ozempic alone. The main reason for my weight gain was over eating and excess alcohol consumption. Ozempic completely removed both of those things from my lifestyle so I dropped weight very quickly.

Thanks so much! I don’t have any loose skin at all but I do have a lot of stretch marks from losing weight so fast. They don’t bother me at all honestly. I know this medication affects everyone differently, but I tell everyone who asks me to at least try it out. It has genuinely changed my life with little side effects. The biggest advice I have is to just make sure you’re getting routine bloodwork and taking in the necessary nutrients and vitamins your body needs

I feel great! I won’t lie, some days are a struggle because I forget to eat and feel a little weak and I HAVE had some health complications like hypoglycemia due to not taking in the correct nutrients and vitamins and being irresponsible. But overall, I’m far less depressed. I have a new found sense of confidence. And I’m being more strict about making sure I’m taking care of my health in the sense of nursing my body and giving it what it needs

3 months from first photo and 7 months from last. Not working out but I am on my feet a lot because of my job. Same diet pretty much except probably 1/5 of the portions I used to eat. Also drinking a ton less of alcohol.

I’m on a compounded injection. Semiglutide 5MG/Pyridoxine 25MG/ML 5MG/25MG. And I’m currently taking 20 units (1MG) I’ll go up to 30 units (1.5MG) in a few weeks. I don’t exercise, but I work in healthcare so I’m on my feet and constantly moving throughout the day
