My type 1 struggle
Same deal for me, quiet for almost a month before the appetite noise faded, and my endo had me trimming mealtime insulin as I ate less. Type 1 on insulin myself, so I get how the weight crept on. Keep…
Anyone lifting through the loss phase?
Those intervals got me running too at about the same loss point. I was surprised how fast the jog stretches added up once I stopped caring about pace -- my first "real" runs were barely faster than my…
Sleep changes since starting - anyone?
My triglycerides were the surprise for me too - down over 60 points at my last draw even though the scale had barely moved that month. Sleep got way better here as well once I stopped eating so late, …
Ozempic plateau at 50 lbs down - what worked?
I stalled around the same spot last year and found upping my protein and daily walks did more than any dose change would have. The scale finally moved again after about six weeks of holding steady. Fi…

Welcome to the group! The stalls and whooshes on Zep hit everyone differently, so it helps to compare notes with people actually living it. What week are you on?
Cold Ozempic vs room temp - does it sting less?
I was the same at week 4, barely noticed anything and figured it wasn't working for me. Then around week 6 the appetite noise finally quieted down. Give it a couple more weeks before you judge it.
