I'm 50 pounds overweight.
Started taking Semaglutide shots on October 17, 2023. As of today, Feb 19, I have lost 23 pounds in 4 months. Slow and steady process. The nurse takes vitals after weighing and then administers shot in belly alternating sides. My dosage was .2 and raised three weeks ago to .25. Side effects vary from slight nausea if I eat too much to painful constipation if I forget to take stool softener pills. But all in all, I have not had urges to binge eat at night and cravings for unhealthy food have all but dissapeared. I can't eat fatty or fried foods either. It causes painful gastric issues, acid reflux, etc.
I love Myfitnesspal because it gives me the tools I need to track nutrients in the food I eat. I am now following a high protein, high fiber low carb diet. It's very hard to get my goals of 100g protein and 30g fiber but I strive every day. I exercise three days a week and reduced my alcohol intake drastically. Looking for others who are taking this drug who have been successful
