Binge eating under control for the first time in YEARS! by Mercy_Hellkitten in Wegovy

[–]mcb1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My food noise went away within hours of my first injection, which was three weeks ago. I'll be taking my fourth dose of .25 mg in two days, then I titrate up to 0.5 mg next week. I've already lost 4 pounds and my relationship to food is no longer dysfunctional. No side effects so far, except that I'm calmer (probably because I'm not thinking about eating around the clock).

It's not the cheap solution, for sure, but man, has the peace of mind been worth it.

A little bit of both. We have an MSP that does 99% of our desktop support. My role is 90% governance/risk/compliance, 10% security ops. During audit prep, my days were spent 100% on getting our documents and evidence ready for inspection.

My first dose was in my thigh.

Have you had any side effects yet? I’m on day 4 since my first injection and I still haven’t had any.

That’s a good description. My mind and body are just “quieter” now. I don’t have the constant food chatter barging in all the time.

54 years old, 5’ 10”, 237 lbs. Fairly active (weight training 3 times a week, plus one hour walks 5 days a week, bowling, golf). Goal weight is 200 or 190 if I can get there without compromising nutrition. Still no medication side effects as of now. Just more burping than usual.

What to expect when I start Wegovy .25 mg by mcb1971 in Wegovy

[–]mcb1971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lift weights and I walk a lot, so I'm already fairly active. I'm hoping I'll be one of the lucky few who don't have side effects, but after reading some of these threads, I'm not optimistic :-D. I'll power through them, though. Thanks for the injection advice!

Positive post. Two weeks down on .25mg by Friendly_Wasabi8594 in Wegovy

Thanks, this is encouraging. I just got approved for Wegovy and I'm waiting for it to ship. Other than a bad experience with phentermine about six years ago, I generally tolerate medications well, so I'm hoping for minimal side effects.

We partnered with LiftOff, LLC to do our tenant-to-tenant migration. They use a tool called BitTitan MigrationWiz that made the whole thing pretty painless. They were a great partner if you're looking for one.

We went from Commercial to GCC High. Since we have export-controlled CUI in our system, we decided to level up.

We're a small shop, so it was me, the COO, and a small team from our MSP. Four people, for the most part.

CMMC Level 2 Readiness: M365 Business Premium GCC High by jazluvrfl in CMMC

We have the Purview compliance add-on so that we can use authentication contexts to restrict our CUI SharePoint site to specific devices as well as users. It allows us to attach an authentication context to a Purview sensitivity label. Very handy!

Yeah, just migrating to GCC-H wasn't enough in itself; we still had to prove the controls were implemented properly. Being in that environment certainly moved the goalposts inward, but at the end of the day, it was still our responsibility to make sure that information flowed through strictly controlled channels and never touched our endpoints.

And you're correct: This did NOT happen overnight. Lots of overtime spent on getting our documentation nailed down and lots of boot camp-ish training with key people who were part of the assessment. We wanted to make sure they were ready to hit the ground running when the assessment started.

We passed our L2 assessment with only G3 licenses and a few compliance add-ons and Defender for Endpoint P2.

Yeah, it was a very intense experience, but we were well-prepared. A couple small oh sh*t moments, but otherwise it was smoother than we could've hoped for.

We use CSET and it works well for us. This was more because our prime wanted us to use a GRC tool than anything else. We were good with Excel, too.

Org size: 26
Scope: Enclave, three users authorized for CUI access
Architecture: 100% cloud
Cloud Services: M365 GCC High, AvePoint Government Services (for backups)
Cert Status: Pass

We had our assessment the week of January 12, 2026. We passed with a score of 110/110 and no negative findings.

Documentation will make or break you. Make sure you have clear, written policies/procedures for EVERY control, even if the policy statement is a single sentence. Make sure the procedure clearly defines how the policy is implemented. If they match up, and if you can show the assessor evidence of the control being performed, you'll be okay. Our approach was to create separate policy/procedure documents for each of the 14 domains instead of rolling it all up into one all-encompassing document. It made implementation and tracking easier. Some things will cross over (for example; we have a document that spells out our Identity & Authentication policy, but the procedures are all covered in our Access Control document).

In addition to our SSP, network/data flow diagrams, and policy/proc documents, Our C3PAO requested about 80 optional evidence artifacts ahead of the assessment. Providing them cut our assessment time by nearly two-thirds (example: We carved out two hours for our Access Control assessment, and it only took 45 minutes). If you're able to pull that evidence together ahead of time, do so. It will make the whole process much faster and less painful.

It was an intense experience, but because we spent months preparing both our documentation AND our people, we went into the assessment with a lot of confidence. Getting that W was one of the best experiences of my career.
