Welcome! I'm also from Albuquerque, down about 70 myself, and can confirm the first few weeks felt the slowest until the appetite quieted down. Hang in there, it picks up.

Des Moines here on Trulicity, and my first few weeks were also just a slow trickle of pounds before the appetite stuff kicked in. The food noise fading was honestly the moment I knew it was working. Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard. I'm a couple months in and sitting around 22 down, and like the others said the first stretch felt glacial until the food noise finally quieted. Biggest thing I learned early: keep water handy, it helped me more than I expected.

Another vote for the early weeks feeling like nothing is happening, then the appetite stuff kicks in around week 3 or 4 for me. I'm 36 down and the biggest surprise was how much smaller my portions got without really trying. Welcome.

Welcome! I'm about 25 down myself and the appetite quieting around the same early weeks made all the difference. Portion sizes shrunk on their own once the food noise faded.

Hello and good luck with the start. I'm down around 48 myself and the first few weeks were slow for me too, then things clicked once the appetite settled. Sipping water all day was a habit worth building early on.

Hey, glad you're here. I'm down around 48 myself and the start felt quiet for me too before the appetite shift showed up, so hang in through the slow early stretch.Welcome aboard. I'm down about 48 myself and the first weeks dragged before the appetite shift finally showed up, so don't sweat a quiet start.

Welcome in! Only a few pounds down myself so far but the food noise fading early was the first thing I noticed too. Curious how your first few weeks go.

Welcome! I'm around 33 down and the appetite quieting down sneaks up on you around week two or three. Keep us posted how it goes.

Welcome. On reta myself, about 11 down so far, and the quieter appetite hit me sooner than I expected. Curious what cycle you're running.

Welcome aboard. I'm about 21 down and the biggest surprise for me was how small my portions got without even trying. Hope your first weeks treat you well, keep us posted.
