Very Little Weight Loss in 98 days

[connie3140]

I don’t seem to be losing weight as much as others on some form of Semaglutide. I started on Rybelsus on 1/28/23. Then I started on Ozempic on 3/3/23 at .25 for two doses, then went up to .5 on 3/17/23 to the present 5/5/23. From 1/28/23 to 5/5/23 (98 days) my total weight loss is 12 lbs. I track my calories on MyFitnessPal and I average about 1,209 calories a day. I never really felt a lot of appetite suppression. My main side effect has been constipation, with about three difficult episodes.

I’m frustrated that my weight loss has been so little compared to what I hear about others’ experiences. Today I up the dose to 1mg Ozempic. I hope that results in a little more weight loss. So far the only loss seems to be my hair! Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Connie!
How's it going? I hope your dosage increase went easily and without any side effects. Just keep going no matter what and my advice: do not look at someone else's results, it usually demotivates. Just stick to your own progress and I am sure you will have much weight loss.

Thanks, Amelia. I've had two doses now of the 1mg and I'm finally seeing the effects I was hoping for -- decreased appetite and I'm finally losing some weight. Thanks for your reply an input.

Hi @connie3140 how are you? How's your progress? It's been a while. I hope you have had only positive results and your hair loss problem no longer bothers you.

Are you drinking enough water during the day?
