Hello! Has anyone had success on the Victoza shots for insulin resistance? I took them before, but ate poorly and didn't exercise and had NO weight loss. I am looking into taking it again now, through my doctor of course, with the help of MFP and exercise to see if it will work! So if you have any advice or experiences with this medicine please let me know! Thanks!

    Hi :)

    I've been on Victoza for weight loss for about 6 weeks and, while I have only lost a few pounds, I am generally feeling better. I work with several other women who are taking Victoza for the same reason, and for the most part they have had better success than I have.

    One gal works out a lot and had to increase her dose more slowly. If you also fall into that category, and experience crashes while or after working out, monitor your your blood sugars more closely around your workouts. The fix may be as simple as making sure you eat something protein-rich half an hour to an hour before you exercise to prevent blood sugar crashes.
