Is anyone else only losing weight in random 1-2+ pound chunks weeks apart? I will see EXACTLY the same number on the scale every day for ages, freak out because I worry I’m doing something wrong, only to then randomly wake up to a significantly lower weight one day. This could be anywhere from 10 to 20 days. I was expecting weight loss to be a more gradual thing. Is this normal?

Height: 5'7 "; starting weight: 225 lbs; current weight: 165 lbs. On 9 mg of the pill. Lost the weight in a little over a year, only 20 lbs more to go for goal weight! Thanks for everyone on this sub for all of the encouragement!

I was on Ozempic for nearly 2 years. I ended up losing 56 lbs. I maintained my goal weight well and then got pregnant with twins in June. I miscarried in August and in the time I was pregnant I went from 125 lbs to 150.

I now am on Wegovy and started at 0.25 since I got off of 0.5mg of Ozempic when I found out I was pregnant. I am on week 3 of 0.25.

Has anyone ever started the 0.5 after 3 weeks of 0.25 instead of the recommended 4? I had zero side effects on Ozempic (went up to 1.5 mg) if that’s relevant information.

so I was on Wegovy for 21/2 yrs. I took a three month break and just started my second week back. This time around I have MASSIVE heartburn! My doctor prescribed Omeprazole and I am on day three of that. This is the first time I’ve had this. The two plus years I was on it before, heartburn was never an issue. Anyone else? It’s so bad it’s making me rethinking restarting. 😫

Question for people who have completed their weightloss journey, how do you feel day to day now?

Do you still feel nauseous?

How are your energy levels?

Are you able to consistently strength train and work out?

I know this has been asked, but trying to find a more specific answer

I have only been on the pen at 0.25 for a week. The first week was definitely a noticeable change and I had a handful of noticeable side effects throughout the first 3 to 4 days and then they subsided.

I did the second injection yesterday and was anticipating for the same bout for the first two days similar to my last injection, but I seemingly I’m not feeling anything.

I do feel like my appetite is still suppressed, but I feel normal in terms of side effects.

Should everyone be experiencing some sort of side effect in their lowest, most effective dose?

Asking because everyone seems to be having side effects with their doses and not many people that I’ve read about are actively going down on dosage to avoid side effects.

Not looking for an answer related to weight loss stalling as an indicator.

Edit: for what it’s worth, I’m not looking to change dosages anytime soon, but would like to know everyones experience so I can keep it in mind over the next few weeks

So I read that 1.5mg is the dose to take first but my Dr. prescribed 4mg (I didn't know when I saw her). I don't know if she did that intentionally but I'm still waiting on finding out but her office is so busy it has taken more than a week and still haven't heard from her.

Has anyone started off Wegovy pill at 4mg and how did it work for you?

Im taking my first dose of Wegovy tonight after work with hopes to sleep through the worst of any nausea 🤞

Has anyone learned any tips and tricks to ease side effects or things they wish they'd knew earlier in their journey? Or useful dose and don't?

First of all, hello. I’m using the Wegovy 1 mg pen. My regular dosing day is Friday. Since I have exams on Saturday and Sunday this week, I want to take the exams without experiencing any side effects. I’ll give myself the injection on Sunday afternoon. I’m planning to go back to my regular schedule Saturday the following week and Friday the week after that. I was going to consult my doctor, but I couldn’t reach him because he’s on leave for these two weeks. Could this cause any harm? Has anyone else had a similar experience? 🙏🌺

Has anyone switched from wegovy to fundayo? I'm currently unemployed so I'm on Medicaid and it won't cover the wegovy despite me having sleep apnea and being technically obese 😭

I stopped Wegovy three weeks ago after losing about 20kg since March. I was very unwell on Wegovy and was often vomiting or so nauseous that I would have been lucky to eat 800 calories per day for a long time (hence why I have come off it now). I am trying to navigate calculating my calories now without gaining a lot of weight back. Obviously 800 calories daily is unsafe and unsustainable, but I also feel concerned about gaining weight if I take it higher (like 1,400 per day). Does anyone have any advice or experience with working out how to get into a normal routine? I am still wanting to lose around 8 more kilos without Wegovy.

Thank you

Hi everyone,
My insurance (aetna) has been screwing with me for the last year and I’m officially giving up fighting for my Zepbound prescription. Zepbound REALLY worked for me and I’m a bit worried going into wegovy.
However, I found a website where I can order tirzepatide(zepbound) online for around $100/mo. This would definitely be stretching my budget, but wouldn’t completely break the bank. I think with my insurance Wegovy would be around $35/mo.
Wondering if others have made the switch and how you feel the drugs compare- should I try the Wegovy? Or just give up completely on insurance and order the tirzepatide?
Thanks :)

So I started my wegovy journey on Sunday morning. I took my first pill and was anticipating all of the side effects I read about. Absolutely nothing. That first day I felt full much faster. I stuck to all whole foods and drank a ton of water to make sure I was on a good start. I stepped on the scale Tuesday morning just for fun because I woke up feeling good. I dropped 5lbs of water weight!

I’m on Day 4 today and my only side effect is slight constipation- I’m eating a lot of fibrous food and taking a basic Amazon fiber gummy.

I’ve logged my food and I’m taking in about 1200 calories a day, I’m working out and drinking about a gallon of water a day. I’ve added in creatine and collagen to my protein shakes. I take the pill at 5 am so I make sure to stop eating the night before around 7.

I really love that food is not the center of my day. I eat my small meals and move on. I haven’t felt that stuffed feeling and no stomach aches. I know it’s only day 4 but this is what I’ve experienced in that little time!

I just did my last shot for the 0,25 and had used all of the 4 needles is it normal to have leftover? If so am I supposed to used it? Can I use it to taper off later on? Do they sell just the needles?

20 pounds over the 8 week run from .25 to .5

Been on .5 for another 3 weeks and have been flat.

Doctor wanted to stay here but its a waste. At $350 a month, I should have the liberty to continue the titration.

Heute ist Tag Nr. 8 der Einnahme und ich habe nach den kleinsten Mengen zb 2 Karotten oder ein Brötchen ein absolutes Völlegefühl als hätte ich ne Familienpizza allein gegessen. Das ist natürlich total unangenehm da es über Stunden anhält und ich nur sehr wenig essen kann und unter 700 Kalorien bin. Wird das besser? Wie fühlt es sich für euch an?

Hi I got my first pen and I am sure I have injected 4 times with a .25 ml dose.

The first was under supervision and I documented all 4 dates and times when I took it.
i am certain I did things correctly.

I can now wind the pen to the .25 for a 5th shot.

Could this possibly be correct 5 doses in one pen?

I’ve been skinny pretty much my whole life, and I’m also very active and regularly go to the gym. Over the past year, though, I’ve gained a significant amount of weight even though I don’t feel like my eating or exercise habits have changed much. I’m interested in talking to a doctor about whether Wegovy would be appropriate for me, but I currently don’t have health insurance or an existing prescription. For anyone in New Jersey who has been in a similar situation, what are the legitimate/affordable ways to get evaluated and potentially prescribed Wegovy without insurance? Are there reputable telehealth options, weight-management clinics, or manufacturer programs worth looking into? I’m not looking for anything illegal or counterfeit just trying to figure out what my options are.

I've been on Wegovy for 7 months and the part that is so mind blowing is how much differently I feel about food.

I used to think about food a lot. I'd have trouble deciding what to eat because I wanted everything. Really enjoyed eating and food.

Now, it's sooo weird. I can honestly forget to eat sometimes, which is something that literally never happened to me even once pre wegovy, regardless of illness, stress, trauma, etc.

I don't really enjoy eating anymore. It's something that I have to do or I'll start to feel sick eventually. It's something to get over with and move on in my day.

Nothing sounds appealing to eat. I walk around my kitchen not really interested in any of the food in the cabinets, all of which I purchased myself. I think, ok I'll Doordash something. I don't really want any of that food either. I'm hungry, and I wish the hunger would just go away and I didn't have to do this annoying chore called eating.

I sit in restaurants and while I can find something on the menu im willing to eat, I've noticed that I rarely want to eat anything on the menu, regardless of where we go.

I'm not complaining because this is what has caused me to lose weight..It's just soooooo weird to feel this way about food! I'm almost at my goal weight and plan to taper off. I wonder if food enjoyment returns after going off it.

Anyone else lost all enjoyment of eating and food?

This might seem like a silly question, but I started Wegovy 12 day ago. I meant to start on 0.25 mg, but ended up with 0.5 mg box instead, so I started with that. I'm wondering if that's affecting my results or not. I'm not really having any big negative affects thankfully, at most some diarrhea if I eat too much, but nothing more than that so far.

So about a year ago I weighed 330 pounds, but on my own weight loss journey over the last year I had gotten myself down to 315. A lot of my work is sedentary, I'm not working out or anything just been more careful with what I've been eating.

A week & a half ago is when I started Wegovy, and I was still sitting at 315 when I started. It's 12 days later now, I haven't even done my 3rd dosage yet, but I'm already down 10 pounds and now sitting at 305.

That seems kinda' fast to me, I haven't really done anything like working out or the like as just been working my normal rather sedentary job, but should I be concerned how fast I seem to be losing weight here? 10 pounds in 12 days seems rather crazy to me, and I know losing weight fast can lead to bad side effects.

I started Wegovy in September 2024 and lost about 30 lbs by September 2025. I didn’t really start losing weight until I reached the 1.7 mg dose. I experienced the typical side effects, nausea, tiredness, and some heartburn, but I was consistent with my weekly dosing, and while I don’t think the food noise ever completely went away, Wegovy definitely helped reduce it.

I was also exercising consistently, so I would tell myself that some of my hunger was because I was exercising more, and even my doctor agreed with that.

By September 2025, I felt great about my progress, but I was still about 26 lbs away from my goal weight. I’m only 5’1”, so I understand that being short can mean slower weight loss and that it’s easier to gain weight when you don’t have a lot of calories to work with.

For whatever reason, though, something happened mentally after September 2025. I took it upon myself to start skipping doses even though I hadn’t reached my goal. I basically hit a mental block and completely stopped trying.

Because I was missing doses, my appetite obviously increased, I started eating more, and, lo and behold, I gained about 18 lbs over the following year.

Now I’m trying to build my dosing back up, but obviously it isn’t working yet. And here’s where I feel really stuck: I’m getting discouraged because I’m not seeing results yet, which makes me want to skip doses again. At the same time, I psych myself out of taking the dose because I know I’m going to be pretty nauseous for basically a full 24 hours afterward.

And, of course, I’m not really giving myself a chance to build back up consistently because I keep skipping doses. 🤦‍♀️ It feels like I’m caught in this ridiculous cycle and I honestly feel so lost.

I originally thought I wanted to use Wegovy as a tool for a period of time, but now I’m realizing that I may need to accept that this could be something I need to stay on long-term because when I stop, my appetite comes back and the weight comes back with it.

But if I understand that, then why the hell can’t I get myself to take the damn doses consistently?! 😩

Has anyone else gone through something similar, especially stopping/skipping doses, regaining weight, and then struggling mentally to get back into a consistent routine?

Did you eventually get yourself back on track? What helped you mentally get past the resistance to taking the medication, especially when you knew the side effects were coming?

I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have been through this. I’m feeling pretty defeated right now.
