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.

Just wanted to say, Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. You should be really proud. Rooting for you. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Been there, it does get easier I promise. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Hang in there.

Adding my two cents: I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
