I thought we could use a place to share our losses - away from the MFP community.

    I'm down 8lbs since I started Saxenda on January 11th.

    I just increased my dose to 1.8 today so I'm interested to know what results higher doses will produce (I stay at each incremental dose for 2 weeks).

    8lbs!!!!! <3<3

    Congratulations!! Keep up the amazing losses!!

    I've lost 7lbs since last Thursday. I'm hoping that I keep progressing. I spoke to the dietitian from Saxenda Care today. I'm interested in our follow ups after I receive the package she sent.

    Increased to 1.8 on Thursday. Total weight loss 7lbs. I can feel it in the way my clothes fit. They are more comfortable. I find the first couple of days after increase I have some nausea however one gravol takes care of it. I still have no appetite but I force myself to eat although this last week I haven't been so diligent. I have a cold and it's knocking me on my *kitten*. Congrats to everyone on their latest losses!

    I entered the 260's today!!!! I'm so happy. ❤❤❤❤

    I also fit into a pair of jeans and a shirt that I couldn't before. I don't think I've ever had a true NSV. I'm very pleased.

    Started Wednesday 3/2, I'm hoping to see awesome results too. Glad to see you all are successful! Congrats! Do you all exercise and purposely diet or watch calories?

    Congratulations on starting! It seems that no two experiences are exactly alike. Personally, I find it difficult to eat too many calories. My meals have shrunk in size significantly. Instead of one, or two, pieces of pizza with 4 chicken wings, on a Friday night, I have one piece of pizza and that's it. Now, I even feel too full off of one piece of pizza! I still eat many of the same foods I used to. Pizza aside, I generally eat quite healthy. Pizza is just what we have as an easy meal on Fridays.
    I am also buying an ellipitcal/bike off of Kijiji. That said, I haven't started any type of exercise yet.

    To give you an idea of my exact progress, I am 32 5'5 starting weight for Saxenda was 225.7 and my current weight is 207.0. I started February 4th.

    Hi There
    I started last week, just increased to 1.2 yesterday. I am finding I don't have alot of energy anyone else experience this.?

    I am at 3.0 and I find that I can push through it. I definitely need my sleep at night, unlike before. However, if I drink water I do feel a bit better. I'm about to add some resistance cardio to my day, I'll let you know if that helps out!

    Hi everyone! Just had a quick question. I have been on the 0.6 dosage for 5 days now. On the first day taking the medication, I started feeling like I was getting a cold that afternoon. My "cold" has gotten worse and worse and I'm absolutely miserable today. I'm wondering if it has any link at all to starting saxenda or if its just a coincidence. Has anyone experience cold/allergy symptoms besides me?

    Day 23...titrated up to the 2.4 dose. Experiencing the worst side effects to date. Energy is better but burping and nausea have been pretty bad. I may stay at this dose two weeks. I am down 7 lbs from my start on saxenda on February 15,2016 and 17.5 since September 2015. I exercise four times a week (circuit train, spin, walk-run) and consistently around 1200-1500 calories per day. I have a 158 day streak going on MFP currently. I am about 20 from my goal wt so am hopeful. Under the care of my endocrinologist . BCBS approved four month trial coverage after a long appeal process but if these results hold steady I shouldn't have any trouble with continued coverage. I pay 30/month with the discount card.
