On week 2 of Wegovy

Hi all! I'm so excited that I found this site. I'm 72 yrs old and on my 2nd week of .25 mg of Wegovy. 3 lbs down. Getting impatient to see more pounds gone. But I'm not hungry!

Welcome to the community, amymac! We're so glad you found us and excited to hear about your journey with Wegovy. Keep up the great work, and remember, progress takes time — you're doing fantastic!

The quiet weeks were the hardest part for me too, but slow early losses really do add up -- it took me most of a year to hit 45 lbs. Not being hungry at 72 on week two sounds like the med is already doing its job, so hang in there.

3 lbs in two weeks at .25 is nothing to sneeze at -- the scale barely moved for me the first month and then dropped 22 lbs over time. Biggest thing that helped me stop obsessing was only weighing once a week. The appetite change alone this early is a great sign.

Welcome! The appetite quieting down at the lowest dose that early is a great sign -- I'm a couple months in and about 15 lbs gone, and my losses came in little spurts after slow stretches. At 72 you've got plenty of time, so try not to let the scale's pace steal the win.

At 72 you've got the patience thing harder than most of us, I bet -- I'm older than I'd like to admit myself and lost my 25 the same way, in whooshes after stalls. The not-hungry part is the real win this early; the scale follows when it feels like it.My early losses came the same way, in little whooshes after stalls -- down 25 now after a painfully slow start. At 72, the appetite change alone is a big deal; the scale caught up eventually for me.

3 lbs in two weeks at 72 is nothing to sneeze at -- I'm down 29 total and it came in dribs and drabs, not a steady line. The not-hungry part is honestly the biggest win this early, way more telling than the scale. Stick around, the slow stretches get easier when you can compare notes with folks here.

72 and already noticing the appetite shift -- that's honestly half the battle right there. I spent way too long staring at the scale in my first weeks too, and the losses eventually added up to 52 lbs even with all those slow stretches in between. Three pounds at the lowest dose is a solid start, keep us posted.

Three pounds in two weeks is a great start -- I remember refreshing the scale daily my first month and it drove me nuts. My 40 lbs came in bunches with long flat stretches in between, so don't sweat the pace. That quiet appetite is doing more work than the number shows right now.

Welcome from a fellow desert dweller down in Tucson. My 41 lbs on Ozempic came mostly after week 6, so those first 3 lbs are a real signal, not a fluke. Enjoy the quiet appetite while the scale catches up.

Welcome! At 72 and down 3 lbs already, you're ahead of where I was at week 2. I stalled hard around week 3 and then the scale finally moved again, so try not to let the impatience get to you. The no-hunger thing is what kept me going early on.

At 72 you're moving faster than I did -- took me almost a month to see my first 3 lbs. My losses came in whooshes too, usually a couple days after my shot, with dead weeks between. The appetite quieting down is the real win early on, the scale will follow.

72 and already 3 lbs gone by week 2 is solid, and yeah the whoosh pattern is real -- on Mounjaro most of my 37 lbs came in sudden drops after quiet stretches, so a slow week 2 or 3 doesn't mean much. Glad the hunger's gone quiet for you, that's half the battle.

Don't stress the pace, 3 lbs in two weeks is right around what I saw starting out on Ozempic and I still ended up 11 lbs down. The quiet weeks in between drops are normal, that's how it went for me anyway. Not being hungry the whole time is honestly the part that made it sustainable.

Welcome! I'm 68 and had the same itch to see the number move, but the appetite quieting down is what carried me through 32 lbs so far. Losses came in bursts for me too, with boring weeks in between. Three pounds by week 2 is a great start.

The impatience is real but at 72 you're already ahead of where I was at week 2 -- I didn't hit 3 lbs down until week 4. Losing without the constant food noise is the win here, the scale catches up when it feels like it.

The scale loves to stall right when you're feeling motivated -- mine sat still for almost three weeks around month two, then dropped 5 lbs in one go. At 72 with the hunger gone and 3 lbs already down, you're doing better than my start. Keep checking in here, it helped me a ton early on.

The whoosh effect is real -- I went 41 lbs down total and a good chunk of it showed up in chunks after quiet stretches, not steady drops. At your age being able to tell the hunger is gone is honestly the biggest early sign it's working, so give the scale time.

Welcome! I'm on Mounjaro so a slightly different road but same story here -- 48 lbs down and half of it came in sudden drops after quiet weeks, not steady line-down losses. At 72 just getting started, the no-hunger part is the real payoff while you wait for the scale to catch up.

Three lbs in two weeks at .25 is solid -- I only lost 2 my first month and still ended up 14 lbs down eventually. The quiet stretches used to drive me nuts too, but the scale always caught up a few days later. Keep posting updates, week 2 is early days.
