Hello everyone, I'm new here.

Following up on my current medication and wanted to open this up for the group. This is huge. Look how far you've come.

Hey, welcome to the group! I remember feeling the same way when I first joined, reading everyone's progress really helped me stick with it. Looking forward to hearing how things go for you.

Welcome! I'm on Saxenda too, slowly working my way up, and threads like this kept me going early on. Down 5 lbs here as well, so we're in a similar spot.

How long did the food noise take to quiet down? What's your current titration schedule looking like?

That first stretch is the hardest part, congrats on the 5 lbs. When I started out I hovered around the same rate for weeks before it picked up, and now I'm down 45 total. The food noise quieted somewhere around my second month but it wasn't overnight.

How's your energy been lately. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again.

Welcome! I'm down 32 myself and the slow first weeks were worth pushing through. The rings fitting again is such a weirdly satisfying milestone, mine got loose around the same point.

Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively? Welcome! This community makes a huge difference.

The ring thing cracked up my wife when mine got loose around 30 down -- I kept fidgeting with it all day. Those early weeks dragging by felt endless but they add up faster than you'd think.

Congrats on getting started! I'm around 44 down and my wedding ring ended up in a drawer too, so that milestone is coming for you. And yeah, those first slow weeks felt like nothing was happening until suddenly it was.

Loose ring at only 13 down over here too, so I guess I should start budgeting for a resize. Nice to hear the slow early stretch really does turn into something.

Welcome! I was nervous posting my intro too, but folks here kept me going through the slow weeks. Down 19 lbs myself and the early stretch felt endless, so hang in there.

Welcome aboard, everyone here started right where you are. Welcome to the group, ask anything anytime. So glad you're here, this is a good crowd. Hoping the next week is kinder.

Congrats on taking the first step to post, that was the hardest part for me too. I'm down around 48 lbs now and the early slow weeks felt endless, but they add up faster than you'd think. My rings got loose way before I expected, so enjoy the little wins along the way.

Started this at my heaviest ever and today felt like proof. Belt needed a new hole today, small thing that felt enormous. Keep us posted! Take it with a grain of salt, every body reacts differently.

The belt hole thing hits home - I'm only down about 5 lbs on Saxenda so far but my watch band already needed tightening. Small stuff like that keeps me going on the slow weeks.

Welcome, glad you finally hit post.

Don't give up, it's worth it. You're doing amazing.
