Month 4 update: 32 lbs down, new relationship with food

This community saved my first month on medication. I came here when I was ready to quit at week 3 and people here convinced me to push through. It's now month 5 and I'm down 38 lbs. Thank you all.

I almost bailed at week 3 too, so threads like this hit home. On the pill form of semaglutide here, up 53 lbs lighter since starting, and the food quieting down is what keeps me going too. Congrats on 38, that's a serious five months.

Funny how many of us hit the wall at week 3 and almost bailed, me included. Glad you pushed through, and that food quieting down is still the thing I appreciate most months later.

Hit my own rough patch around week 4 and almost talked myself into stopping, so this lands. Down 22 now and the food noise fading is honestly the biggest change for me too. Grats on 38, five months is impressive.

Funny how many of us hit our wall at the same point, week 3 nearly ended it for me too and I'm sitting at 34 down now. Seeing posts like this makes the rough stretch feel worth pushing through. Congrats on 38, that's a huge shift in just five months.

The week 3 wall seems to be a rite of passage here, I nearly bailed around then too. Still early for me at only a few pounds gone, so posts like yours are what keep me from talking myself into quitting. Congrats on 38.

Love that you almost quit at week 3 and stuck with it, because that early stretch nearly broke me too. The food noise fading around month 4 was when it finally clicked for me that this could actually last. Congrats on 38 down.

Love seeing this, week 3 almost got me too and now I'm 48 lbs down with no plans of stopping. Your update is proof the rough patch passes.

Funny how week 3 seems to be the universal breaking point, mine came right around there too before things clicked. We're basically neck and neck on the scale, and it's cool to hear the food noise quieting down for you as well.

That week 3 wall seems to be a rite of passage for so many of us, glad you got talked off the ledge. I'm on Mounjaro, down 50 myself, and it's wild how quiet my brain is around food now too. Definitely keep the updates coming.

That week 3-4 wall keeps showing up in this thread like clockwork, glad you pushed through it. Down 55 myself over a longer stretch and the quieted food thoughts are still the part I appreciate most. Congrats on 38.

Funny how many of us hit that same week 3-4 wall. Only 2 lbs down on my end so far and the scale feels stubborn, but seeing your 38 keeps me from calling it quits. Grats on turning the corner.

Still early for me at 23 lbs down, but the week 3 dip you described hit me too and hearing it's a common hump helped way more than any pamphlet did. The quieted cravings are the wildest part for me too, I forget to snack some days which never happened before. Congrats on 38, that's huge.

That week 3 wall is real, glad you pushed past it. I stalled hard around the same point on compounded sema and the scale finally started moving again around month 2, now sitting at 46 down. Posts like yours are why I stuck around here too.

That week 3 urge to quit is so real, I was in the same spot around then barely down 7 lbs and wondering if it was even working. Sticking it out ended up being the whole game for me, so congrats on banking that 38.

The week 3 wall seems to be a rite of passage around here, I nearly bailed then too and I'm over a year in now sitting at 68 down. Love that you came back to thank the people who talked you off the ledge, that kind of post is exactly what got me through my own rough patch.

Week 3 almost got me too, I was right there ready to toss the vials before folks here talked me down. Now 32 down and food feels like fuel instead of a hobby, which still weirds me out. Congrats on 38, keep posting these updates.

Funny how many of us almost walked away at week 3, that wall must have a waiting room. I hit the same panic point and someone here told me the appetite noise would eventually go quiet, and they were right, 48 down and eating feels almost boring now. Updates like this are why I keep checking the forum.

Week 3 is where I almost quit too, and reading threads like this back then is the only reason I stuck with my Trulicity. Only 9 lbs down so far but posts like yours make the slow start feel normal instead of a failure. Congrats on 38.

That week 3 wall is real, I was right there with you. Down 41 now and food is just fuel most days instead of the main event. Great to see the month 5 update.
