The food noise went quiet at week 3 — sharing my experience

I've been doing a weekly log in this thread and several people have asked me to keep going so here's month 3 update: down 31 lbs from 278 to 247. Lost about 3-4 lbs per month after the fast initial drop. Stalled for 2 weeks at month 2.5 and it broke on its own. Energy is better. Sleep is better. Still on 0.5mg and my doctor wants to see me stay here another month.

Same here — Sending good vibes your way. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Totally agree. Look how far you've come. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Six months in and the scale keeps moving the right way. Onward!

Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Onward!

For what it's worth, This is huge. This community is the best.

Keep going, seriously. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. So glad I'm not alone in this. Everyone's different of course.

Following along, You've got this. Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Thanks for sharing this.

Reading this and Stay the course. Look how far you've come. Hang in there.

Coming back to this thread — I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear.

Cheering you on from here. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Honestly, Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

For the nausea: small meals, no greasy food, ginger tea, and Zofran if your doctor will prescribe it. The first 4-6 weeks are the hardest. Everything gets better after that point in almost every case I've seen in this forum.

What's your current titration schedule looking like. Such an inspiration honestly. A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Adding my two cents: 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. Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock. This community is the best.

My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled.

Following along, The mental side is harder than people admit. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Rooting for you.

Adding my two cents: Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Adding my two cents: Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Stay the course.

Just wanted to say, Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Keep us posted!
