[UK] London members check-in

Any other London folks on here getting started with GLP-1s? I am a few weeks in and the scale has barely moved, around 4 lbs down so far, so wondering if that is typical. Would love to hear how others in the city are finding it, especially with all the walking we end up doing here.

Another Londoner here and my first month crawled too, something like 6 lbs before it picked up. What changed things for me was the Tube steps plus walking home instead of taking the Circle line one stop. At 36 lbs down now, the slow start barely registers.

Londoner here too, and 4 lbs in a few weeks sounds pretty normal from what I saw early on - mine barely moved the first month then dropped faster. I'm about 24 lbs down now, and honestly all the walking around the city seems to help once the appetite side kicks in. Stick with it.

London check-in from me too - my first month was painfully slow, like 5 lbs, then it picked up around week 6 or 7 once the cravings died down. 70 lbs later I can say the walking everywhere here definitely stacks up, especially once you stop wanting to hop on the bus for two stops. Give it a bit more time.

London based too, and your 4 lbs a few weeks in would've beaten my start - I think I barely moved the first month before it picked up. I'm a fair way down the road now (over 70 lbs) and honestly the early stall was just how it went for me. The walking got easier as the weight came off, so the city kind of does the work with you.

Also London, and I'm barely ahead of you at 2 lbs a few weeks in, so your 4 sounds like winning to me. From what I've read here the scale usually picks up after the first month or so, so I'm just letting the walking do its quiet thing meanwhile.

Philadelphia here so no Tube for me, but my first month on tirzepatide moved slow too before things kicked in around week five or six. 4 lbs down a few weeks in sounds like a totally normal start to me. The walking everywhere thing was the same in my city, it stopped feeling like exercise once it was just how I got around.

Toronto here so can't claim the same Tube steps, but my first month on Ozempic crawled too and picked up around week six. All those daily walks you end up doing in a city like that add up faster than you'd think, mine did anyway.

4 lbs in a few weeks is about where I started too - I'm in Philly and was frustrated at 8 lbs down before things picked up around week 6. Once the food noise quieted down the daily walking started actually showing on the scale, so your city steps will likely pay off soon.

London here too, and 4 lbs in a few weeks sounds a lot like my start - I was around 13 down before things really shifted, somewhere in month two. The walking everywhere thing is real, I stopped counting it as exercise once I realised it was just part of the day now. Slow starts seem to be the norm from what people post here.

Also London and my early weeks dragged the same way, barely a nudge on the scale before it picked up around month two. What surprised me was how much the walking between meetings started mattering once I stopped snacking out of boredom. At 74 lbs down now, those slow first weeks feel like a distant memory.

London here as well - my first month looked a lot like yours, small drop then things sped up. I'm 50 lbs down now and the tube-to-tube walking genuinely adds up once the appetite quieted down.

Another Londoner here - my first month looked a lot like yours before things picked up, and I'm down 20 lbs since. Sounds like you're right on track, and those Tube-to-door steps add up more than you'd think.

Londoner here too and you're ahead of me at 4 lbs - I'm only 2 down so far. My first month was slow like yours sounds, then it picked up, so I'm trusting the process and getting my steps in around the city while it kicks in.

Miami here, not London, but my first several weeks crawled too before the drop started - 20 lbs down now and the slow start turned out to mean nothing long-term. Four lbs in a few weeks reads like a normal warm-up to me.

London based and my first month was nearly flat too, now 50 lbs down over the year. The early weeks felt pointless but once it caught up the pace surprised me, and all that walking between the Tube and everywhere definitely helped once the appetite quieted down.

Des Moines here so no Tube for me, but I started on Saxenda and my first few weeks barely moved the scale either before things picked up. 41 lbs down since then, so 4 lbs early on sounds pretty normal from what I've seen in these threads.

Another Londoner here, and my first month was similarly slow before things kicked in - 44 lbs down since then. The walking everywhere really started paying off once the food noise faded, so give it a bit more time.

Also a Londoner, and my opening month looked about like yours before it picked up. Once the cravings settled I leaned into walking everywhere instead of taking the bus for short hops, and that's when the numbers started really moving. 49 lbs down now so the slow start didn't mean much in the end.

Londoner too, and my first few weeks were just as slow before the appetite effect really landed. Swapping the bus for walking the last couple of Tube stops made a difference for me once the cravings quieted down. 28 lbs gone so far, so hang in there.
