Aussie - down 10kg/21lbs

Hi, just thought I’d share an update for those who are starting, or in the process. I started semaglutide 10 weeks ago - taken 10 weekly shots so far and I’m down 10kg (21lbs). No one has noticed and I’ve not told anyone including my family, as I don’t want to make a big deal of weight loss or gain (I have daughters). My clothes feel much better and I have another 50kg (110lbs) to go until my ideal weight. It feels monstrous to achieve that, but the past ten weeks have been pretty easy.

My only issues started when I bumped up to 1mg, I have had serious issues going to the toilet, and dreadful heartburn/indigestion. And for a week I had severe nausea but not to the point of throwing up, thankfully.

Also the 1mg needle seems to actually hurt slightly, maybe because it takes longer to inject??

Good side effects- my inflammation has gone down as I have less chronic pain in my back.

I’m so happy I started this journey. Wish I knew about it a long time ago.

Good luck to everyone on your journey. We can do it 💪🏽
