Weekly semaglutide check-in - post your dose and week

Following up on semaglutide and wanted to open this up for the group. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb.

Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work? Cheering you on from here.

Slow climb here too - sat at 0.5 for almost three months and still kept dropping, down 65 lbs now. No hunger, no rush, figured why mess with what's working.

Food noise took maybe five weeks to fade for me on tirzepatide, and it crept back a bit right before injection day but never as loud as before. Down 29 lbs so far and the slow climb has been the whole trick, I stayed at 2.5 longer than the schedule suggested and it paid off.

How's your energy been lately. How long did the food noise take to quiet down?

Food noise faded for me around week 6, and staying at a lower dose longer made the side effects way easier. Down 35 lbs without ever rushing the climb, so slow titration has been my experience too.

Down 7 lbs myself and holding at the same dose for a few extra weeks made all the difference. Slower climbs meant way fewer rough days for me.

Staying put at 1.7 for a while worked for me too before moving up, zero regrets on the slower pace. Congrats on the 55, that is huge.

This made my day to read. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. Ginger tea and tiny meals saved me through the early weeks.

Slow titration is exactly what I did too - dragged my climb out way longer than the standard schedule because of appetite suppression. Congrats to the poster at 55 lbs, that is huge. I am on tirzepatide and down 61 lbs myself, and the tiny meals thing is so real, especially in the first stretch.

Slower pace is what got me to 45 down too, no way I could have handled jumping up fast with how quiet my appetite got. Tiny meals carried me through those first couple months as well, still eat that way most days.

Slow and steady got me to 38 down and counting, no rush here either. Small frequent meals is basically how I eat now too, the big plate days are long gone.

Staying on a lower dose longer than planned worked the same way for me, about 26 lbs gone and I never felt pressured to move up. The quiet appetite made big meals a non-starter early on, so I just rolled with small stuff throughout the day too.

Nice to see this thread, Im sitting around 40 down myself and staying put at my current dose another few weeks since the appetite suppression is already doing its job. Small plates and protein first is what keeps me steady too. No hurry here.

Only about 3 lbs gone here so far but the appetite quieted down fast, which surprised me. Lurking this thread is good motivation that slow and low still adds up over time.

Another one in the no-rush club here, 35 down and still content where I'm at. The smaller meals throughout the day thing really has been the whole game for me too, protein up front and I'm done.

35 down here too and I hung out at my dose way longer than the schedule suggested, zero regrets. Early on I was in that same spot as you, just a few pounds gone but the food noise fading first. That part alone made the rest feel possible.

Lost 56 lbs and I'm still sitting lower than where the schedule would've put me by now. The food noise going quiet early was the same thing that kept me patient through those first slow weeks. Fatigue on bumps was real for me too, extra protein and water helped.

Stay the course. Fatigue hit hard on my first dose bump, more protein fixed it.

Down 58 myself and I also stretched out the starter dose longer than planned -- no regrets, the slower climb kept side effects manageable for me. Interesting how many of us stalled right before an increase shook things loose again.
