6-month log: updated every Sunday

The hair loss started around week 9 for me and I panicked. After research and talking to my doctor, it's telogen effluvium — a delayed shed caused by the physiological stress of rapid weight loss, not the medication itself. It slows down around month 4-5.

Plateaus are the worst, hang in there.

Totally agree. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise.

Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. We're all in this together. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but My last check-up came back looking great.

Following along, Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Onward! Everyone's different of course.
