Ali_Katt_

Hello hello! I’m Ali, starting compounded semaglutide injections tomorrow! I’m equally scared and excited. My goal is to lose 50 lbs. I’ve done well on nutrisystem and etc. but I always plateau, get discouraged and gain it back. I’m ready. Not for right now but forever. I’m hopeful. I want a new lifestyle. Would love to chat and hear y’all’s experiences with the shot and see if it made a difference for you! Love to all! 👋🏼

Welcome Ali. It doesn't matter if you have surgery or get a shot to assist you in weight loss. You still have to develop a healthy way of life and maintain that for the rest of your life. All the people who have been successful here have used mfp to lose weight and then continued to use it to monitor their maintenance. any assistance you get isn't going to make the progress more magical.

Calories burned > calories consumed = weight loss

when you plateau it means calories burned = calories consumed = stable weight

I want to be clear that I am not against doing whatever you need to do as long as it is in a healthy manner but having help doesn't change what you have to do in order to be successful.

Good luck. You can do it.
