4th shot Monday, July 10th. One more dose of .5 and then on to 1.0 . No negative side effects so far. I have noticed less thoughts of food and no real cravings for sweets. That is an awesome feeling! Really helps me, so hope it keeps up. Healthy food choices mostly, smaller portions, two meals a day, no snacks except premier protein shakes. Figure the med will not work without my doing my part. Down 3.7 lbs as of today and hoping 4 lb by my 3 weeks (Monday). One day at a time😎👍

    It's a slow and steady process, with a tool that actually WORKS. I stalled the entire 4 weeks on .5, then started losing nicely on 1.0mg. I do plan to stay at 1.0 for the foreseeable future, e.g. as long as I keep losing. I get my meds shipped from Canada, which doesn't yet have the 8mg pen available.

    I've been on Ozempic (ordered from Canada) since early March. Down 28 pounds; 20 pounds to go, woot!! Self-confidence is up, clothing choices in my closet have greatly "expanded", lol!! I am on 1.5mg per week. Should be on 2.0, but cannot afford it. Hair loss is increasing, unfortunately - I haven't been as focused as I should be on getting my daily 80-100g protein in.
