New Wegovy Gal

Hi, I'm Dawn, and I'm 61 years old, a recent widow, and I'm in my 2nd month of Wegovy (.5mg). I've lost 7 pounds, and honestly I thought it would come off quicker. Major problem is I sit in front of a computer all day at home and don't get any exercise. How can I track my carbs on this site?

    Hi @dawncushman60 - welcome! 7 lbs. is a great start! But I can see why you'd think/hope it would come off quicker. Are you tracking calories and such here on MyFitnessPal? When you input your foods, it will tell you how many carbs, proteins, sugars, etc. that you are eating under the "Foods" tab. I too thought I would lose a lot faster initially but the beginning is actually slower because you're starting on the low dose of Wegovy and slowly work your way up. The .25 dose is just the starter dose so your body can get used to it. The .50 then moves you up more. Then the 1mg. I personally found I truly started losing steadily when I was on the 1.7mg dose. Many people lose the most weight at 1.7 and 2.4 mg. So please don't get discouraged! You are truly just at the very beginning of your journey! <3
