Sharing my experience so far

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.

Reading this and Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. You've got this.

Honestly, You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Just wanted to say, Sending good vibes your way. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Rooting for you.

You're doing amazing. You've got this.

Just wanted to say, How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. This community is the best.

Late to this but Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.

The tiredness in week 2 is very real. Be patient with yourself.

For what it's worth, Has your sleep changed at all since starting. What helped you push through the plateau.

Following along, Been there, it does get easier I promise.

Anyone who says GLP-1 is 'the easy way' has never dealt with week 3 nausea.

Coming back to this thread, Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Hang in there.

Honestly, This is huge. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Totally agree. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Rooting for you.

Adding my two cents: Incredible progress. Been there, it does get easier I promise. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

This past year has been the biggest change of my life. So proud of you. Onward! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Coming back to this thread, How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Rooting for you.

Same here, Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Thanks for sharing this.

Crossed my legs for the first time in years today. Hang in there.

Adding my two cents: Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. You should be really proud. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Onward!
