"I am a 74-year-old male who weighed 250 when I started Wegovy. I am now a week into the 2.4 mg dosage and down to 224 lbs. My appetite has declined, and I no longer crave food. I have only one side effect, and that has been constipation. It started the day I began the medication and still continues. I am taking milk of magnesia, and it helps, but still not regular as I would like. I strongly recommend this drug."

"I have had an excellent experience with Wegovy. I started out at 232 pounds in April 2023, and by September 2024, I have lost 100 pounds. I have not had any side effects that I can attribute to Wegovy. It was very easy to use. I now feel so much better physically, mentally, and emotionally."

"5 months on Wegovy, and I’m down from 205 to 168. Appetite drastically reduced and no noticeable side effects. Slow and steady. So far, so good!"

"First off, BigMac was my nickname in high school, not the burger. In July, my doctor put me on Wegovy .25 dose for obesity and diabetes. Each month, he has increased my dosage, I just finished my first month of 2.4mg dosage. Started at 369lbs, this morning 297 lbs (72 lbs lost), my clothes are ones I grew out of a couple of years ago. My A1C is below pre-diabetes levels, and my blood pressure is lower than it was when I was 20. I have gone over a week now with no events on my CPAP machine. I sleep better at night, I have more energy during the day. Twenty-two more pounds, my doctor says I will be able to have my knee replacement done. It has greatly changed my life, I am currently 63 years old and feel like I have a new lease on my life."

"Started Wegovy back in April of this year. Started at the 0.25 mg, titrated to 2.4 mg. I started at 203 pounds. I am down to 141 pounds. I cannot believe I lost this much weight. That part of my journey has been awesome. Side effects I am dealing with are mild acid reflux and dizziness. The dizziness is the worst."

"Wegovy works great when you can get it! I have been on it for 3 months, and now I have been 3 weeks without it because I am constantly told it is on back order! It's very frustrating. You would think they could supply CVS with their product. I have even called the company that makes it and being told it is NOT on back order, they told me CVS is not ordering it. I don't know, but I am very frustrated about it."

"I started taking Wegovy in April. I weigh 250 lbs. Now I weigh 204 lbs. So far, I have no side effects. Very happy. I still have 24 lbs to my target weight."

"First day of injection, Aug 19th, 2024 SW - 236 pounds. November 22nd, 2024 last injection to date CW - 217 currently on 1.0 mg dose. Have not done anything extraordinary, try to make healthy choices and drink lots of water. Sometimes go for walks. Will continue to use this until I've reached ideal numbers. I like it, no problems so far. Just need to pay attention to hydration and nutrition. Sometimes experience nausea, drink water, take a Gravol. Also take a multivitamin but don't combine too many things unless you speak with a doctor. I'll post an update after Christmas."

"I have been taking Wegovy, and this is the beginning of my 3rd month. I have lost 10 pounds and some inches. I found that a good multivitamin, and I take a prenatal pill every morning, helps with my energy level. Sometimes I feel like I have too much and don't know when to sit down, lol. As you may know, the medicine isn't for everyone, but your health is important, so do what your body tells you, and good luck to the ones that are successful."

"I’m extremely satisfied with my experience using Wegovy for the last 5 months. I have currently lost 33 pounds and feel extremely confident that this medication will continue to help improve my overall physical and emotional health!"

"Hashimoto's, 5'3" overweight. Not yet obese, but pretty close. Lost 17 pounds in 6 months. Effortlessly. I thought I only lost 5 pounds. I noticed a difference in my clothes but thought it was my imagination. Didn't really modify my diet, just stopped eating when I felt full. Best dose, max dose. Side effects are heartburn, but that's if I ate like I did before. Calories a day: 1700, desk job, not a lot of exercise, and still lost weight. Before, 17 pounds larger, fasted for 20-24 hours at 1200 calories and body inflamed. My cholesterol now is healthy. Sleep is better. Less apnea episodes, to my surprise."

"I can only thank the makers of these drugs. For 30 years, I have suffered from what is now known as food noise. Now, I feel normal. I can say no to foods that before I craved all the time. I still get cravings, but it's amazing that I can have a protein shake or something small and that feeling goes away quickly. Now, Wegovy wasn't easy at the start. I had bad symptoms at the start… very bad. I was often sick or had sulfur burps. It wasn't until I spoke with a well-educated nutritionist who supports these drugs that explained I needed to drop my dose below the 0.25. As soon as I switched to 0.10, then 0.20, then 0.40, this slower transition helped a lot. He also explained I should try a liquid diet… which I didn't like the sound of at first, but he explained if I had a small protein shake before meals or when I was hungry, it would be easily digestible and force me to eat very small solid food meals. My god, it helped. Now, after 9 months, I've lost 20% of my weight. Couldn't be happier."

"I have tried multiple different medications to aid with weight loss. They were all expensive and negatively impacted my mental health, and I did not lose weight. So, I was skeptical when trying this. I have had minimal side effects and have averaged 1 kg weight loss every week from the very start. I feel in control of my eating for the first time ever. For me, it’s working, so happy to keep paying for it."

"I was prescribed Wegovy on July 3rd for weight loss and A1C levels in the diabetic range. I started month one at the lowest dose of 0.25 mg, increased month two to 0.50 mg, month three at 1.0 mg, and the last two weeks at 1.70 mg. My total weight loss as of 2 days ago is 51 lbs, and my A1C has dropped into pre-diabetes levels. I have had zero side effects, with the exception of while I’m cooking, the smell of food makes me feel full. I don’t eat right away after cooking, and my portions are extremely lower than before. My doctor last week informed me of the weight loss and BMI down 6 points, and that if I continue at this rate, he will refer me to an orthopedic surgeon for knee replacement by this coming spring."

"I started taking Wegovy 3 1/2 weeks ago. From the very first dose, my mouth was on fire. My body was itchy, every joint hurt, can’t sleep but was very tired, so I decided to split the dose. I took half the dose on a Monday and the other half on Thursday. Everything went away like magic, so I’m going to continue to do that. There’s no hurry to lose weight. I’ll do it slowly and stay on a dose that I’m comfortable with."

"I started Wegovy exactly 1 year ago with a starting weight of 220 pounds. I titrated up through the doses with some nausea while doing that, but manageable and tolerable. I began to see the weight come off gradually. Now I've been on the maintenance dose of 2.4 for 5-6 months and currently fluctuate between 143-145 pounds, weighing 143 today. I must say Wegovy was the best choice I've made with all other failed attempts to lose weight. I am no longer pre-diabetic, and I no longer take blood pressure medication. My labs look great as well. I am amazingly pleased with my progress while on this Wegovy journey, and my doctor was pleased with my progress at my recent annual physical appointment. For anyone hesitant about trying this medication, it is a game changer and REALLY works over time. It's not an immediate fix, but a tool with healthy eating, moderate exercise, determination, and a goal."

"I sat out on a journey to lose weight in January 2023. I am a heart patient, and I was weighing 220 lbs for the first time in my life. I started in the beginning, I had lots of nausea and vomiting as I went through the different doses. It wasn’t until I got to the highest dose that I really saw the change in my body weight. The weight just slid off. I lost a total of 100 lbs. I definitely changed my diet: high protein, grilled veggies, and fruit. I will say it changed my taste buds. Salty things were overwhelming to me while on Wegovy, and so was sugar. I can’t eat cheese at all without getting sick. But I feel better. My heart is doing well, and my lipids are finally in the normal range. This medication helped save my life, and I feel so blessed. Good luck on your new journey, and don’t be afraid to ask your doctor for nausea meds, it helps a lot."

"I'm almost 2 meters long, and when I started, I was more than 157 kg. Within 11 weeks, I lost 22 kg. Almost every week, I lost 1.5 kg and more after the big water loss. For me, it's an addition to the bigger plan. Yes, I use Wegovy (now on 1 mg), but I also go to the gym 5 times a week and add some hour-long walks to my day. And yes, I also have a strict timeframe where I have my meals. And yes, they are mostly veggies and some yogurt with some granola for some fiber. I had some side effects like heartburn, burping, constipation, and I'm more tired than before. But I think that's a normal thing to process, especially when you make the transition. If you are seriously overweight, please consider this medicine as a small part of the bigger plan!"

"I've realized that Wegovy isn't just a weight loss medicine, it's way more than that! I'm pre-diabetic, and I couldn't function on a daily basis! Tired, body hurts, and just felt horrible! I'm on the 2nd week, I'm 6 pounds down, no side effects, and I feel wonderful! I definitely needed the insulin!"

"I'm 60 years old, started taking Wegovy for weight loss, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. I’ve been on the medication now for 10 weeks. My starting weight was 296. Currently, I weigh 266, and my numbers are great. The cons are I only feel good 4 days a week. The first 3 days after the injection are tough: nausea, headaches. But as far as I’m concerned, it works great. I’m not hungry at all. I feel much better. Another added bonus for me was I was a heavy drinker. On this medication, I have no desire to drink at all. I went from 5 cases a week to absolutely nothing. I don’t miss it at all. Miracle drug."

"I started on Wegovy on the 1st of June 2023. My weight was 109.7 kg. I started losing 1-2 kg per week at the start. Afterwards, the loss was more between 0.2-0.7 kg. I did not attend the gym or do exercises last year. I have started going to the gym now. My weight now in August 2024 is 73 kg. I have not experienced any side effects besides constipation. The plan is that after the end of August, I will start going down on the dosage and will fully stop taking it at the end of this year. My doctor told me that some of her other patients who have fully stopped it have managed to keep their weight by regularly exercising and by continuing to eat healthy, not overeating."

"I started June 11, 2024, at 194 lbs. At 1 month, lost 10 lbs. At 7 weeks, am down 17 lbs. I've tried to lose this weight for over a year now. I am a 59-year-old female at 5’4”. The first shot had a little upset stomach for a day or two, but not bad. I would highly recommend this drug. First time I have had hope to reach my goal weight."

"I started Wegovy about 17 months ago. I really had no bad symptoms, however, due to availability, I had to stay on a few of the doses for a couple of months at a time. I am now at the highest dose, and this one and the one before did cause a little nausea, but it goes away. I started at 320 lbs, I am now down to 210 lbs. My goal was to lose half of me, so I'm still working on the last 50 lbs, averaging 2 to 5 lbs a month or so, sometimes more. So good luck to you all. I feel so much better now, I can breathe, I can walk, and do so many more things now. It truly changed my life."

"I have taken 1 dose of the 0.25 mg. Tomorrow I will be taking my 2nd dose. So it has been 6 days for me. I have already lost 4 lbs. I was very nauseated and had some heartburn the first 24 hours after I took the dose. It got better with Pepto-Bismol and Tums. I didn't really get sick after that day. I don't have an appetite at all. I eat enough to keep me healthy, no more. I have gotten mild nausea once when I ate some chocolate chip cookies, but no nausea with healthy foods like fruit and veggies. I haven't done much exercise either."
