72 and down 3 lbs already is great going -- I'm 26 lbs into my own journey and my losses came in bursts too, with quiet weeks in between. Enjoy the not being hungry part, that alone makes the wait worth it.
On week 2 of Wegovy
My losses looked exactly like that too -- nothing for weeks, then a whoosh. I'm 53 lbs down now and probably a third of it came in two big drops instead of a nice steady line. The not being hungry made the waiting way easier, so it sounds like you're set up well.
At 72 you're already ahead of where I was at week 2, so try not to rush it. My scale did the same thing -- stuck for a stretch, then dropped a chunk overnight -- and 47 lbs later I've learned the stalls never mean much. That no-appetite part is the real win this early.
Three pounds in two weeks at 72 is nothing to be impatient about. My scale also moved in chunks -- 32 lbs down and a lot of it came after long quiet stretches, so don't read much into a slow week. The missing appetite is the part I'd savor most right now.
Welcome! My first month looked just like yours -- 3ish pounds and quiet appetite, then a drop later once things kicked in more. At 26 lbs down now I've stopped trusting the scale week to week; the not-hungry part is the sign it's doing its job.
72 and already down 3 lbs in week 2 is a solid start, honestly. My scale sat still for weeks at a stretch and then whooshed -- 42 lbs gone now and the drops never came on a schedule. That quiet appetite is the part I leaned on most early on.
The quiet appetite is worth more than the scale number early on, in my experience too. I stalled for a couple weeks around month two and then the drops resumed, so I stopped weighing daily. Welcome aboard.
At 72 you're ahead of where I was at week 2 -- I didn't see real movement until week 5 or so, and I'm 55 lbs down now. That no-hunger feeling carried me through every slow stretch. Hang in there, the scale catches up eventually.
Seventy-two and jumping in with both feet is inspiring to those of us plodding along behind you. I spent my first month fixated on the scale and wishing it would hurry, but once I shifted my attention to how little I was thinking about food, the weeks got easier. Thirty-two more months later and I am still glad I stayed patient with the slow starts.
The not-thinking-about-food part is the real win early on, and at 3 lbs down in week 2 you're honestly doing fine. I obsessed over the scale my first month too and it only stressed me out -- the drops came when I stopped counting days. Glad you found this place.
Week 2 and 3 lbs down is nothing to sneeze at -- took me nearly a month to hit that mark. Those first weeks I kept weighing daily, which just made me nuts. The quiet appetite was my favorite part too, and it never went away even after 26 lbs gone.
At 72 you're ahead of where I was -- 3 lbs in two weeks beat my start on the same .25 dose by a mile. The food quietness alone made the slow scale weeks worth it for me, and I'm down 48 lbs now. Welcome, glad you found us.
