Month 1-3 log: the good, bad, and honest

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. Biotin and collagen peptides haven't hurt. Just wanted to share this so the next person isn't as scared as I was.

Same here — Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call.

Just wanted to say, How's your energy been lately. This community is the best.

Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Onward!

Just wanted to say, Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Same here — Rooting for you. This is huge. What's your current titration schedule looking like.

Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me.

Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Onward! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Reading this and Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Thanks for sharing this.

You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. I keep a food + weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month.

The mental side is harder than people admit. Incredible progress. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady.

This is huge.

Totally agree. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared.

Coming back to this thread, How's your energy been lately.

Adding my two cents: A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, Blood pressure is finally in normal range. This community is the best.

You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Keep us posted!

Honestly, Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Hang in there.

Adding my two cents: Tied my shoes without it being a whole production. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Tied my shoes without it being a whole production. This community is the best.
