I mean hey, congrats on the weight loss. Nothing wrong with looking good for yourself.

Thanks! Yeah. I wish I could say it was hard. But wegovy was easy. I'm weaning off of it too, and so far no weight has come back.

Modern medicine is a marvel. I'm starting semaglutide too and so far it's having a huge effect on my habits, but I haven't lost too much weight yet.

It takes a bit. I didn't really start losing weight until 1.7mg dose. I went up to 2.4mg originally but I lost 10 lbs in two weeks so they brought be back to 1.7 for a month or two before bumping me back to 2.4mg /week.

Now, weaning off of it, I'm at 2 weeks between 2.4g doses. Then it will be 3. If I still don't lose weight, then I win.
