Ran my first 5K since starting GLP-1

Just wanted to check in at week 6 because I remember being terrified reading about nausea before I started. It was rough — weeks 2-4 were genuinely difficult. But I woke up this morning feeling normal for the first time since starting and I'm down 18 lbs. If you're in the thick of the nausea phase right now, it does pass. Hydrate, eat small, and give it time.

Late to this but Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Onward!

Reading this and Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Keep us posted!

Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through.

Stay the course. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Onward!

Same here, How long did the food noise take to quiet down. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Onward!

Totally agree. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule.

Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Incredible progress. Rooting for you.

Totally agree. The mental side is harder than people admit. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Thanks for sharing this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Sending good vibes your way. How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Thanks for sharing this.

For what it's worth, Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Been there, it does get easier I promise. Blood pressure is finally in normal range. Keep us posted!

Late to this but Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Just wanted to say, Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. So glad I'm not alone in this.

This is exactly what happened to me at week 6. The nausea just... stopped one day. Hang in there!

Coming back to this thread — Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. This community is the best.

How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Stay the course. Been there — it does get easier I promise. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, What's your current titration schedule looking like. The mental side is harder than people admit. So proud of you. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

Following along, Did you split your dose or take it all at once. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Keep us posted!
