You should be really proud. Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Hang in there.

Honestly, Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Thanks for sharing this.

Late to this but Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. This made my day to read. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

Adding my two cents: Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Onward!

Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule.

Honestly, I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Reading this and Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Onward!

The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call.

Same here, What helped you push through the plateau. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. This community is the best.

I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. This is huge.

Late to this but Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Reading this today and I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, Don't give up, it's worth it. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Just wanted to say, Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton.

Late to this but The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Incredible progress. Onward!

Reading this today and Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock. Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Rooting for you.

Late to this but I learned not to lie down right after eating. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Late to this but Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher.

Totally agree. Cutting fatty meals the day of my shot helped the nausea. What's your current titration schedule looking like. So glad I'm not alone in this. Everyone's different of course.
