I'm 5'3" and weigh 255 . I hate it and feel sadness, anger, and depressed. I just got my wygovy . I start it tonight. Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. It has given me hope . 🙏 I am so glad I found your UA-cam channel. Again thanks 😊
wegoxy will fix your problem... but it aint a free ride.. you are going to have to learn what food cause cramps , gas and bloating for you... i am on it and i had some painful days.. but that paid in fat cells dying ... so i embrace it.... and eat clean to avoid it
@drac464 Not well ... Wegovy is on back order, and I can not get it . The first month was going very well , it's been 3 weeks now without it . Thank you for asking
@@donnasolomon3258I hope it’s going well for you. Ask your doctors for a list of pharmacies that may have it in stock. If you’re in the ny area I know of a few
I have PCOS… I passed the obese threshold a few years ago. I’ve been overweight for over 20 years. It seems I was always on a diet. But couldn’t lose the weight. My Dr put me on semaglutides in February. Lost about 18lbs so far. It’s more than I have been able to lose in a long time. I’m grateful. But I know the shame you talk about. It’s crazy… I’m the photographer, but hardly in any pictures. I have yet to share this journey. You are amazing and I admire your transparency. ❤
This sounds so similar to my story...always doing some sort of super restrictive diet in order to lose 50+ lbs...and always putting it back on. I never knew what food noise was until recently.
Your story is similar to mine. My daughter is 14 and I have very few pictures with her because of my shame. I have insulin resistance and lost control of my weight. Semaglutide has changed my life
It's truly so sad😔 I must recognise that the issue isn't my weight though. There is no reason that I shouldn't love myself at every stage. I don't shy away from pictures when my money is low or even when I'm sad, so why do we do it to ourselves when we're overweight. I hate that I can't except my own self at every state. Something I truly need to work on! Best of luck to you❤
Hey love your videos . I’ve been battling insulin resistant PCOS for 17 years . Infertility and weight gain just out of control . I could fast for days and still gain weight . I started wegovy 3 weeks ago . Already down 11 pounds and got my period without help from medication for the first time in 6 years . This medication is life changing for someone like me. Finally something to improve my health and hopefully the chance to become a mother… I can relate to exactly how you’ve felt about your weight gain and all the psychological effects it has . So you go girl … you look great and are very motivational
Your videos made me start semaglutide. I take my 3rd injection tomorrow (starting 3rd week.) I’m 5’9’’ and I started at 202, I’m at 187 this morning. My reason for semaglutide was I started having issues with portion control, cravings, and the weekends lol. I’ve been working out regularly for a couple years now (weight lifting 3-4 days a week, walking at least 5 days a week) but my only issue is just food. Semaglutide does wonders for cravings and portion control. It’s been a little difficult sometimes making sure I eat 1400 to 1700 cals a day bc of how full you feel when eating, but I’m making it work. My only side effect has been extreme fatigue to where sometimes it’s hard completing my warm up when I’m working out but, I’m barreling through it. No, I don’t look “skinny” I look like I lift weights and work out lol. I’m keeping a high protein diet to keep building muscles and strength while I’m lifting weights. Goal weight…maybe 180 but it depends on how much more muscle I can build so I’m not a skinny thin 180. I want to be a built 180. Hope everyone’s journey goes well. xoxo
@@kscott4475 weight train and eat a high protein diet. It will help build muscle and tighten your skin. You need high protein and weight training to keep your butt. The first time around I lost weight I did those cardio workouts and I lost my butt but this time around my butt is still there and I’m curvy. But this time around I’m weight training, only walking for cardio, and I eat a high protein diet.
We had similar measurements. I’m 5’8” and I was 233 when I started my weight loss journey. I’m currently down 37 lbs. I’m not sure what my ultimate goal is but I feel so much better! Congratulations on your success!
I'm probably at least 25 years older than you and cannot thank you enough for making this videos. I'm on my third dose and next week go to the 0.50. You are so inspiring and thank you for telling it like it is. It made me sad to hear you say how you struggled but it's true - I did/do too. You are such a beautiful woman - a gift to all of us women. Thank you again for sharing your journey through this process. Your daughter is so blessed to have a woman like you as her role model. Embrace the loose skin. embrace the highest weight you were, embrace the journey. I learned the shame held me back and now all that stuff empowers me. We women going through this can keep each other going. Love you, honey. I'd be so proud to be your mom. PS the only side effect I've had so far is last week and this.. I feel bloated a little bit and when I do belch it's not a lot but does bring relief. A lot of water and one or two fiber gummies a week have keep the constipation in check.
You go girl…congratulations! Similarly, I’m 5’6” and started at 238 lbs. on March 17th. I’m down to 216 lbs. and just took week 12. My goal is 167 lbs by Christmas, which was my weight prior to MVA. Thank you for trusting us with this private information.
@@theinfamousninapinkYes, I increased my physical activity…but with walking more, nothing more. I try to walk anywhere between 8K-10K steps a day but not always successful. Regarding dieting, obviously eating less but when I eat, I am eating healthier. At my check-up today my doctor told me I’ve been a more successful patient on the medication. Today, I weighted in at 195.7. Also, I’ve started taking injections every other week bc I really don’t want to stay on this after meeting my goal and starting to wean myself off the medication. We will see what happens…
I started Wegovy February 13 and in 5 weeks I lost 14 pounds. My starting weight was 283 and I’m now 243. All my weight loss came from .25 and .5mg, my pharmacy is out of stock on the 1 and 1.7 mg which I was approved for. I’m similar to you in 2019 I was 190 which is very small for me. Good luck to you and everyone else on their journey’s 💪🏽
Hi Tatiana, I'm in the UK, i had gastric sleeve in 2016 and also have PCOS. I lost lots of weight post sleeve down to 160lbs. I had a baby in November 2021 and have piled on the lbs back on again im now 250lb, I am so ashamed of myself after having such a major surgery previously. I started ozempic 0.25 dose on Monday this week. Its like my "food brain" has been silenced. Its very early days but im so optimistic. I have nil side effects so far. Using you as my amazing example. 🎉❤ Keep it up. Ive followed you for years and years now. You're my favourite
I was just diagnosed with PCOS yesterday. That explains why its soo hard for me to lose weight no matter how hard i try 😢 but you look great girl! Thanks for sharing your journey. It helps me feel less alone ❤
I love it. I’ve been on it as long as you have. I saw my doc the same day as you. My doc was so happy. I got down 30 pounds since feb 20th. thanks for being transparent and honest about your weight loss journey.
I was so excited to see you uploaded a new video. Thank you for the update and your honesty. I started Wegovy 2/28/23 at 256 lbs, which is the heaviest I've ever been. I have lost 38 pounds so far on Wegovy and I'm going up to 1.0 next week. And yes, the belching is annoying, but no constipations issues, thankfully. Please continue to update us on your journey.❤
Just took my first injection tonight. You are not boring LOL, far from it. I have learned soooo much reading your posts. I am insulin resistant and have had a problem with my weight for years. Before I met my husband it was easy, I lived on Weight Watchers and didn't have any weight issues. We are very social and it always seems to revolve around food. Now I'm told I have NAFLD, Non Alcoholic Fatty Live Disease. Since my doctor has told me for years to lose weight and I can't get it off and keep it off she said I don't have a choice now and wrote me a prescription and my drug plan approved me within the week. The first video was especially informative as were reading all the readers comments and experiences. Went to Costco and got a Wegovy starter pack. I don't feel like I'm doing this on my own now and I feel so much more knowledgeable and in control. Thank you. 💕 🤗
I thank you soo much for you video's. I started Wegovy 7 weeks ago and I am down 14lbs. I started at 378 and want to get to 250. I think that is small for me. I am 5'10.5 in height. I don't want to get to small I just want to be under 300lbs and weight prior to me having my son. 17 years ago. Your video's have helped me a lot with real live review of how the medication makes " a human" feel. The issue that I am having the hardest time with is the fatigue and occasional nausea. I usually get nauseated when I have bouts of constipation but I have added fiber gummies and smooth move tea and that seems to keep me regular. Thank You for sharing your journey with us. I truly appreciate you.
Thank you for sharing I have been taking Wegovy as well so far from 215-to 200 I have lost 15 pound so far. My goal is to keep it on until I get where I want to be .
I started my Wegovy journey on April 27th and have lost 3lbs. At the beginning of the journey I was feeling full with smaller portions and tracking my calories. Not sure if it was that I was attempting to train my mind that I was full not. No real symptoms except I feel tired a lot more so I need a nap everyday. I am doing my 3rd shot tomorrow on the 0.5 and I find myself hungry more often. I ignore it and take a sip of my water. Kinda feeling discouraged. I’m on my second week of 16:8 intermittent fasting and feel stuck with no scale movement.
I never had issues with my weight until I started going thru menopause at 40. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes at 52. On November 16, 2022? I began my journey with Mounjaro weighing 206 at 5’7 wearing a size 12-14 and my A1C was 8.4. As of March 16th, I weighed 154 and I now wear a size 5/6 and my A1C is 4.9. No more diabetes or blood pressure meds and I feel absolutely amazing. I’m now on the lowest maintenance dose and I take it every two or three weeks in an effort to slowly wean myself off by the end of the year. These meds are going to save/change folks lives. I’m so grateful ❤
Oh my! similar issues! I was diagnosed with PCOS, irregular periods, obesity, chronic low back pain after a fall but didn’t think the back pain could be from the hormonal issues as well. Thanks for sharing and enlightening.
You could be telling my story!! I've been a size 16 and a size 4 and everything in between. I started Wegovy 9 weeks ago and really focusing on learning how to keep it off this time. I'm working with a nutritionist to learn better habits. You are amazing. You are making this work!
I am considering Wygovy, I was prescribed it AND it’s finally become available. Your videos have been the most realistic and informative, but also we are the same size! I’m also 5’7” and broad. I was underweight in my teens but still thought I was “big” because I could never fit into a pants size smaller than size 14. I was literally gaunt and kept trying to lose weight to wear smaller pants. Ended up having to work with a nutritionist to gain weight, and still wore a size 14. lol. So I’m glad you addressed body size and others perception of it. As an adult I’ve struggled with an autoimmune disease and some comorbidity issues with that. When I addressed some unexpected weight gain a year ago with my doc he was really understanding and empathetic, we had checks frequently for a year to go over my diet, exercise, blood work before he finally suggested wygovy. He’s acknowledged how hard I work to stay healthy and at a healthy weight and how I have some preexisting stuff working against me
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Tomorrow marks week 10 for my wegovy. (Shots done on Wednesday) so far I've lost 16 pounds and I can't tell you how much better I feel and I can't remember the last time I was at the weight I am at now. I've been pushing myself so hard and I'm so darn proud of myself. I also have PCOS too and what you said about it in this video is so relatable I started crying because you took the words right out of my mouth! I wish the the best on this journey and I'm so proud of you ❤️
Congratulations on your progress!!!! I'm on Monjauro and I take the 5mg dose. I've been on since the beginning of the year. My doctor prescribed the medication back in November but I was terrified to take it so I didn't actually start until January or February. My highest weight was 265. I've struggled with my weight all my life. I had Bariatric surgery in 2003 after a total hysterectomy and although I kept my weight off for almost 20 years, having hormonal issues and autoimmune issues, and lymphedema and lipedema, I would swell and gain over 50 lbs so fast without explanation. After they figured out that I wasn't in heart failure after gaining like 90 lbs in less than a year without diet changes, they decided to have me try the shot. It has definitely been God sent. I was 209 when I started. I was 149 at my last appointment at the end of last month. My goal was 135 but at this point I have lost so much fat that I don't think I could bare to be that small. I'm just going to try to maintain from here. We'll see. I do have SEVERELY sagging skin on my arms and legs. My butt deflated. I'm not real happy about that but I'm going to see about my arms. I don't really care about anything else. As my weight settles, maybe my butt will work itself out. LOL and SMH
You’re so beautiful! Thank you for posting your journey…I’m getting ready to start Wegovy, once there is more available (my doctor says it should be soon) and I’m grateful to have founds your videos documenting your experience
I am enjoying following you on this journey! I am on shot 3 of the .5mg Wegovy myself and having a bit of success (started ~190 and am 182 now). Listening to you describe how it was before you started sounded SO familiar! There were times that I would be in the middle of a meal and thinking about what I wanted to eat next and it was non stop and did not make any sense. Now I'm 49 and entering menopause and did not realize how the hormone change would affect me! There was a 20 pound gain that seemed to come on overnight and I could NOT get it off no matter what. Seeing the scale slowly tick down and - most important for me - the body fat % finally headed in the right direction are huge motivating factors and keep me going on this crazy adventure. I have noticed lots of burping on this dose too Lol...nothing too bad, not sulfur smelling like some people are reporting, but I definitely feel a sense of relief after it. Like a balloon slowly being deflated. To keep me from being constipated I take psyllium husk powder daily and try to make sure I get LOTS of fiber like 30grams or more, keeps everything moving Ha!
There are a lot of parts of your story that is very similar to mine story with the exception of PCOS. My heaviest was around 225 but I stopped looking at the scale so it could've been higher, I don't really know. I been on Wegovy for 2 yrs and I'm down to 165 which is close to my goal of 160 at a height of 5'7". I kept my weight number secret from my husband for YEARS. I went to a new endocrinologist about my weight and thyroid nodules and she put me on ozempic for prediabetes then transitioned to wegovy so insurance would cover it. I had some sagging/drooping in my backside😂 and a little in my face. I started hormone replacement patch for hot flashes and hair loss, then the sagging and other symptoms improved tremendously. Listen to your body and your doctor and keep going, you got this!!!🎉. You will surprise yourself. Oh, also, I tried drinking water and eating good protein and veggies for the constipation. Do some light weight training to help stay toned. Stay blessed my sister❤
You’re literally telling MY STORY!! Thank you for sharing!! You’re providing imperatively valuable insight for those of us going the wegovy route!! I’m following the advice from your first few videos and I’m hoping my journey will have similar successes. BEYOND GRATEFUL!! You look amazing (before AND after)!! Cheering for you!!
Agreed, I’m on terzapitide 2.5 and i’m trying to implement more protein and veggies. I share the same story with you and i’m glad you have been open with us and sharing your journey! Cheers to claiming our body back !
Thank you for all these updates. I had the sleeve surgery in 2016 and have packed on weight within the past 2 years. I'm thinking about wegovy or something similar to help kick start weight loss. These videos are super helpful! Please keep sharing your experiences with this drug
Tatiana, thanks for sharing your weight. You are such an encouragement to me. I have PCOS and have been up and down in weight since I was a teenager. I'm at the highest weight I've ever been and, after watching you, I went to my doctor to see about starting Wegovy. My insurance has hurdles you have to jump before they'll do that, so I started with an oral medication called Contrave on May 27th. You start at a low dose (1 per day) and titrate up weekly (until you are taking 4 per day). I took three days of the two per day dose and had the most violet tremors at night. I felt like I was in a mosh pit with myself! I called the pharmacist and he said to stop taking it. It's disappointing because it was really working on the cravings/constant hunger. So I have a message in to my doctor and am hoping I can try Wegovy next.
Your skin and your eyes are just so beautiful. Sorry, I am fangirling! I am doing Victoza, just started, so I love your content about your journey. I would love ideas for things you do for dinners. I also have PCOS too. It makes losing weight that much harder!
Hey girl you look great! I can definitely see the weight loss in your face. I have PCOS as well I'm 274 starting on ozempic tonight. I've been overweight my entire life really excited to start this journey ❤
So happy for you and your progress!!!! I am just starting my .5 dose this week and am down 11lbs overall. One thing I have noticed helps with the nausea and constipation is I have started drinking a small glass of buttermilk and eating a little bit of pickled ginger twice a day. Not only does it kill any nausea I may have but it is helping with my constipation too!!! Good luck on the remainder of your journey and please keep posting!!! It’s so motivating to see someone succeed at this!!!!!
This was so helpful!! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this. My journey is similar and I feel the same way with my weight! Glad there are medications to help people like us! You look great!
The burps do relieve things for me, I feel less full. At first I was having issues with constipation but now it's better, almost leaning to the other side, ick. Definitely get the not eating part, just don't want to. Keep up the great work!
This month I start the 2.4mg dose and so far I have lost about 32pounds in 4 months. I also need to hit the Gym I'm sure more weight would be lost faster. You keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your journey.
I’m about to start wegovy I feel so nervous but I need this. I feel exactly how u said in this video feelings ashamed of my body and just how I don’t even recognize myself. I hate taking photos because of how I look.
I'm with you girl, the smallest I've been since I was 12 was 185 and that was THIN for me. I barely still had a butt or boobs. I have heavy muscle mass and can weight 40 lbs more than my sister and wear the same size jeans, nobody ever guesses my weight. I'm 230 now and looking to start wegovy to get down to about 195-200 because I think I might be able to maintain that.
I started around the time you started. I just finished my 1 mg pen set yesterday. I have only lost 6 lbs and even now my weight fluctuates. I started at 189 and on a good day im 182. Watching your videos is encouraging but also makes a e little sad because im not having the same results. But every body is different! Congratulations on your success! Im hoping to get there too! ❤🎉
i also started wegovy the same day and i am on 1mg pen. I have only lost 7lbs and my weight still fluctuates. I went and had blood work done to see if something else was going on. I am menopausal. My vitamin D and testosterone were low. hoping that things will eventually kick in.
I have just started Wegovy. Tomorrow will be my 4th week taking my injection. Then I see my primary care physician on Monday. So far a few side effects that were easy to overcome. Biggest issue I was scared about was my meals each day, watched a few of your videos and took some tips about the things you were eating and started meal prep especially for work so now I take my lunch and I follow a schedule and I don’t eat after a certain time in the evening. These routines have helped me tremendously and I feel confident in what I eat and when I eat. I listen to my body and I know that I don’t like the nausea or the headaches so I just practice my routines and I don’t over stress myself. Thanks for all the information and sharing your experience with us ❣️
Consider adding a fiber supplement to your water to aid with the constipation. If you are not a kombucha drinker, try it as well. Coffee is a stimulant that can help.
I don't normally comment on videos BUT I feel like my story is yours... same height, same starting weight - which is also my current weight😢. Same body frame and same type of ups n downs on the scale. The idea of losing weight is all consuming for me. I am currently looking for a Doc/Med Spa that will prescribe Wegovy for me. I am praying that I can get started on it soon as I am sick n tired of being sick n tired. I need to make a change and a jump start via Wegovy I think would give me the momentum that I need. Thank you for sharing your story. Please keep the great content coming! ❤
I had weight loss surgery about 10 months ago and only loss 49lbs, my weight keep fluctuating between 212 and 223 so two weeks ago i went to my doctor who suggested the shots to help me but like most people I have been worried about taking that step but listening to you and some of the other stories am a bit more informed still haven’t decided what am going to do but watching your videos helps
1.7 kick started my weight loss! I do not like the 2.4 I am having abdominal pain more. I am taking 1 every 2 weeks. My next visit I am asking to go back down to 1.7. Love your videos and Transparency.
We have similar stature. 5'6 broad shoulders (no boobs on this side) but I also was 245 at my heaviest. I started wegovy at 224 now at 179. Girl never in my adult life have I ever saw below 190. It's weird here.
Thank you for sharing, and for CONTINUING to share your journey, its been my experience that some people stop uploading after a while on the drug, its been amazing hearing about your experiences and how it has for in with your lifestyle and health conditions. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into recording amd sharing!❤
I feel you sis. Always been a yoyo effect with my weight. I started at 241. My heaviest in life!! Miserable. I had knee replacement surgery. I was suggested wegovy from my cardiologist. I took several tests that all turned out good. I went as a recommendation from my regular Dr due to swelling and inflammation. I told her I wanted to see a Dr for lymphatic drainage but she wanted to check my heart first. Happy I did. I'm 55 and e really have to stay on top of our health as we get older too.
Thank you so much for your candor. I am exactly your starting weight and am ashamed. I would 💗 to be 180 again. 5'5". 53 yrs old. Menopause is a bitch. You are very relatable and gorgeous and im glad i found your channel. Keep shining ⭐🌟
Thanks so much for your inspiring video. I will starting Wegovy next week after my dr, appointment. My doctor recommended it after I hit a plateau losing 30lbs. I am going thru perimenopause and I could not understand what was going on with my weight, I look forward to the journey. I can't wait to watch your future videos. Maybe I will get bold to start my own channel. 😉
I'm only 3 weeks in and I've had really bad hives but it's better now after going to ER. Because I'm definitely not stopping. Congratulations on your success 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for being so transparent I start the .5 on April 14 and I have lost 16lbs. I will say that you do eat because with Wegovy you still have to eat and excercise. Thank you for your support it's needed ❤
Love this video! Thanks for sharing. I’m on Maunjaro just got my 2nd dose of 5mg. I’m stalled out on weight loss the last several weeks. You’ve inspired me to not get discouraged! Thank you.❤
I'm about to take my 4th shot of ozempic. I lost 4.8lbs but gained 2lbs back. I'm going to go up in dosage and try to cut my calories even more (currently eating 1900, going to aim for 1600). I haven't had any side effects either, so I hope that the increase won't give me any. Thanks for sharing!
I’m 5’4 now sitting at 216 and that shocked me. I got scared because I’ve never gained this much weight. Been struggling with my weight for years now and I wasn’t sure what else to do. I’ve reached out to my doctor to find what’s best for me. If this product is the way I want to thank you for being vulnerable and informing us all throughout your journey. You’ve inspired me in taking the next step into my wellness journey and ❤ I thank you. Continue to make those big strides in your life.
I love your posts and following your journey. I’ve been on Semeglutide since mid-March. I can’t believe how much I cannot eat. I’ve only lost 15 pounds and I think the only issue I have is wine after work. It’s just unhealthy and doesn’t process like normal calories. Turns into sugar junk basically. I’m cutting back and know they will be the trick. Thank you for your videos! You’re awesome.
Please 🙏 keep posting I'm barely going to start my journey, and thank you for all the tips, especially the starter kit and Dos, and Don'ts!!! I have a long way I'm sadly at 325 but was in abusive relationship with PCOS have a 3 year old and can't wait to heal both mentally and now physically ❤😢 so blessed you for sharing !! So excited to start ❤❤❤ bless you
7:03 Same here! My lowest was 164lbs and I looked ok. I have an apple shape body, lots if belly. So I have to be in the 160's to loose that bulge. I'm also 5'7" and Im flabby. 😭 You have a great shape, you're arms and legs are not saggy nor flabby. You look great! Thanks for the motivation!
Wow! I appreciate how honest you are with this journey. My Dr just put me on Ozempic so your experience is very helpful. I'll continue to watch. Congratulations on your weight loss, you look amazing but you also have a beautiful spirit. 🙏🏾💕
I have pcos, hypothyroidism, Pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and have been doing intermittent fasting for years just to maintain my weight. I weigh 245. I've been on wegovy for 3 months lol. Lost like 1 pound. I guess my body is not interested in the wegovy hype. Watching other's do well is overwhelming. My weigh ins when I started at 246, then month 2 253, then month 3 245. I get weighed again later this week. I was already used to eating in a controlled schedule and portions so I don't feel a major change with the wegovy. So I'm to the point where gastric sleeve is looking like a necessary option. I'm happy many are seeing results. Just wanted to comment for those like me who are not having results to know you are not alone. I'm just continuing to comply with my doctor's advice.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have so many of the same issues and am currently trying to figure out what is going on with my body. Gaining weight has been a struggle that goes up and down along with period/bleeding issues. Hope your journey continues to be a success.
You are gorgeous, I love this video. This video is 100% me, even with the PCOS, the being ashamed and all that. I've never told anyone my weight and I was considering blogging my weight loss journey, but I was like how can I if I don't want to tell my weight? My daughter was like if someone asks just say I am not ready. Funny thing, all of your videos that I have watched, I never noticed you didn't mention your weight and when you did, I felt like you didn't need to, it didn't really matter. I like that you said allow ourselves "grace" we are so hard on ourselves, when to others, it doesn't even matter. You are beautiful no matter what, congratulations!!
You look so awesome! Congrats! I can definitely relate to watching your child growing up and not taking much pictures with them because you're uncomfortable with your weight. I mentioned that to the endocrinologist at my first appointment. This is a part of my motivation to lose weight. One day I won't be around anymore and I want him to still have pictures of him and I from his childhood. I am on my second shot of the 1MG and have been tolerating it surprisingly well. Perhaps it's because the doctor made me spend an extra 4 weeks in 0.5mg because I had vomiting the first two weeks on 0.5mg. I have also been struggling with the constipation from this drug and recently found the key is to drink 9 to 12 glasses of water per day. I started this a week ago and have gotten really regular and no longer have to force or use meds to go.
I watch a lot of videos on wegovy and people's journeys while taking this medication. But I really look forward to yours! That is all ❤ Thank you for sharing. You look amazing 👏🏿
So proud of you 👏 I totally relate with not telling my weight to anyone. Even my husband doesn't know how much I weigh. I have been on wagovy for 4 weeks and lost 15 lbs, but now the pharmacy can't get it, I'm so upset and don't know how it's going to work now.
Thanks to you my wife and myself have sought help and received prescriptions for Wegovy. For now we are on back order but you give us so much hope. Thanks
Glad I found your channel. Yes Burping! I have it too. But I feel so much better when I do. More so since I started the 2.4 dose. I am trying to figure out if I notice it with certain fiods, relation to when I take dose etc. I will be curious what discussion you have with your doctor when you get to your goal.
Your videos are really helpful. I'm on the journey with you 😊 I also felt the shame and embarrassment over my weight. I recently found out that I have hypo thyroid/Hashimotos. I'm down 27 lbs. You look amazing and keep going, we got this❤
THANK YOU so much for your videos & being so transparent. I'm so glad that I came across your YT channel as I'm getting ready to start my Wegovy injections as soon as the pharmacy gets them in stock. Big thanks to all your pointers on the B12, iv packets, scale, etc. I've ordered everything 😊😊. My Dr. wrote my script for me to do the .25 for 2wks then I start the .5. I'm nervous but so ready as my weight issue started with early menopause so hopefully the injections will work. Thanks again & huge congrats on your weight loss success❤!!
Thank you for sharing your journey Tatiana ❤ literally minutes after my first shot, the lil burps started and also help with the feeling. I’m about to move up to 5mg but worried that I’ll have to stop because of the shortage. Please update if you have had difficulty getting Wegovy, if not what your plan is to stay on track if you do.
I am on semaglutide and I had constipation until I started taking plain yoghurt with raspberries. I have a bowl movement every day now. My doctor prescribed wegovy for me in May but cvs is out of stock so I am getting my injections at a medspa. So far 10lbs down.
I'm having a hard time getting .5 mg like many other people. I had my script moved over to Amazon. Hopefully i won't end up going too long without it because I've been slowly losing weight and am happy with it. It is a huge adjustment to your diet. I have to be careful about not eating too much or I'll get sick. I also can't drink coffee anymore or anything fatty.
I’ve got Ozempic in my fridge and I’m starting it tomorrow. I’m scared but watching your videos to get me hyped up. I’m also never going to be “small”, I’m 5’11” and the smallest I’ve been as an adult was around 185, which was “skinny” for me. Right now I’d be more than thrilled to get under 200. Wish me luck, I hope I can hack the side effects.
I'm 5'3" and weigh 255 . I hate it and feel sadness, anger, and depressed. I just got my wygovy . I start it tonight.
Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. It has given me hope . 🙏 I am so glad I found your UA-cam channel.
Again thanks 😊
wegoxy will fix your problem... but it aint a free ride.. you are going to have to learn what food cause cramps , gas and bloating for you... i am on it and i had some painful days.. but that paid in fat cells dying ... so i embrace it.... and eat clean to avoid it
How is it going?
@drac464 Not well ... Wegovy is on back order, and I can not get it . The first month was going very well , it's been 3 weeks now without it .
Thank you for asking
Hi wishing you well and a great and healthy experience with this life change.
@@donnasolomon3258I hope it’s going well for you. Ask your doctors for a list of pharmacies that may have it in stock. If you’re in the ny area I know of a few
I have PCOS… I passed the obese threshold a few years ago. I’ve been overweight for over 20 years. It seems I was always on a diet. But couldn’t lose the weight. My Dr put me on semaglutides in February. Lost about 18lbs so far. It’s more than I have been able to lose in a long time. I’m grateful. But I know the shame you talk about. It’s crazy… I’m the photographer, but hardly in any pictures. I have yet to share this journey. You are amazing and I admire your transparency. ❤
You’re gorgeous and i love your videos! I just subscribed!
This sounds so similar to my story...always doing some sort of super restrictive diet in order to lose 50+ lbs...and always putting it back on. I never knew what food noise was until recently.
Your story is similar to mine. My daughter is 14 and I have very few pictures with her because of my shame. I have insulin resistance and lost control of my weight. Semaglutide has changed my life
My daughter was married last February, I only would allow 2 pics. I'll never get that back.
It's truly so sad😔 I must recognise that the issue isn't my weight though. There is no reason that I shouldn't love myself at every stage. I don't shy away from pictures when my money is low or even when I'm sad, so why do we do it to ourselves when we're overweight. I hate that I can't except my own self at every state. Something I truly need to work on! Best of luck to you❤
I am so glad you shared I am going to be starting my journey with semiglutide and let’s pray it works for me! I’m so excited I can hardly wait!
Wow, I did the same thing with my children
Hey love your videos . I’ve been battling insulin resistant PCOS for 17 years . Infertility and weight gain just out of control . I could fast for days and still gain weight . I started wegovy 3 weeks ago . Already down 11 pounds and got my period without help from medication for the first time in 6 years . This medication is life changing for someone like me. Finally something to improve my health and hopefully the chance to become a mother… I can relate to exactly how you’ve felt about your weight gain and all the psychological effects it has . So you go girl … you look great and are very motivational
Your videos made me start semaglutide. I take my 3rd injection tomorrow (starting 3rd week.) I’m 5’9’’ and I started at 202, I’m at 187 this morning. My reason for semaglutide was I started having issues with portion control, cravings, and the weekends lol. I’ve been working out regularly for a couple years now (weight lifting 3-4 days a week, walking at least 5 days a week) but my only issue is just food. Semaglutide does wonders for cravings and portion control. It’s been a little difficult sometimes making sure I eat 1400 to 1700 cals a day bc of how full you feel when eating, but I’m making it work. My only side effect has been extreme fatigue to where sometimes it’s hard completing my warm up when I’m working out but, I’m barreling through it. No, I don’t look “skinny” I look like I lift weights and work out lol. I’m keeping a high protein diet to keep building muscles and strength while I’m lifting weights. Goal weight…maybe 180 but it depends on how much more muscle I can build so I’m not a skinny thin 180. I want to be a built 180. Hope everyone’s journey goes well. xoxo
I’m 5’ 9 and just hit 187. I’m saggy tho. I need to build muscle asap. My booty has disappeared 😩
@@kscott4475 weight train and eat a high protein diet. It will help build muscle and tighten your skin. You need high protein and weight training to keep your butt. The first time around I lost weight I did those cardio workouts and I lost my butt but this time around my butt is still there and I’m curvy. But this time around I’m weight training, only walking for cardio, and I eat a high protein diet.
We had similar measurements. I’m 5’8” and I was 233 when I started my weight loss journey. I’m currently down 37 lbs. I’m not sure what my ultimate goal is but I feel so much better! Congratulations on your success!
I'm probably at least 25 years older than you and cannot thank you enough for making this videos. I'm on my third dose and next week go to the 0.50. You are so inspiring and thank you for telling it like it is. It made me sad to hear you say how you struggled but it's true - I did/do too. You are such a beautiful woman - a gift to all of us women. Thank you again for sharing your journey through this process. Your daughter is so blessed to have a woman like you as her role model. Embrace the loose skin. embrace the highest weight you were, embrace the journey. I learned the shame held me back and now all that stuff empowers me. We women going through this can keep each other going. Love you, honey. I'd be so proud to be your mom. PS the only side effect I've had so far is last week and this.. I feel bloated a little bit and when I do belch it's not a lot but does bring relief. A lot of water and one or two fiber gummies a week have keep the constipation in check.
Oh my word😌 What a wonderful comment to read! Thank you for sharing this love with me!
You go girl…congratulations! Similarly, I’m 5’6” and started at 238 lbs. on March 17th. I’m down to 216 lbs. and just took week 12. My goal is 167 lbs by Christmas, which was my weight prior to MVA. Thank you for trusting us with this private information.
Congratulations! Are you dieting and exercising too?
@@theinfamousninapinkYes, I increased my physical activity…but with walking more, nothing more. I try to walk anywhere between 8K-10K steps a day but not always successful. Regarding dieting, obviously eating less but when I eat, I am eating healthier.
At my check-up today my doctor told me I’ve been a more successful patient on the medication. Today, I weighted in at 195.7. Also, I’ve started taking injections every other week bc I really don’t want to stay on this after meeting my goal and starting to wean myself off the medication. We will see what happens…
Thank you. A stranger that feels like a friend walking me through my journey. Much love
Congrats! 🎉 Small goals are key !! I’m down 32lbs in 20 weeks on wegovy.
I started Wegovy February 13 and in 5 weeks I lost 14 pounds. My starting weight was 283 and I’m now 243. All my weight loss came from .25 and .5mg, my pharmacy is out of stock on the 1 and 1.7 mg which I was approved for. I’m similar to you in 2019 I was 190 which is very small for me. Good luck to you and everyone else on their journey’s 💪🏽
Yay ! I’m 10lbs behind you. I started March 17th and I’m down 27lbs. Good luck to you! I hope you reach your goal 🙏
I’m also 5’7” and started at 242- down 15lb in 8 weeks on Mounjaro and feeling so thankful ❤️
Hi Tatiana, I'm in the UK, i had gastric sleeve in 2016 and also have PCOS. I lost lots of weight post sleeve down to 160lbs. I had a baby in November 2021 and have piled on the lbs back on again im now 250lb, I am so ashamed of myself after having such a major surgery previously. I started ozempic 0.25 dose on Monday this week. Its like my "food brain" has been silenced. Its very early days but im so optimistic. I have nil side effects so far. Using you as my amazing example. 🎉❤ Keep it up. Ive followed you for years and years now. You're my favourite
Def NOT boring! Very informative and enjoyable to watch,
Girl, I cried while you were sharing, because it hits so close to home. Thank you for posting this!
Same here 😢
I'm 233 and starting next week! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Your Wegovy videos helped me out a lot I'm on week5 and I lost 10 lbs. and that scale is bomb I received mine Sunday. Congrats on your journey.
I was just diagnosed with PCOS yesterday. That explains why its soo hard for me to lose weight no matter how hard i try 😢 but you look great girl! Thanks for sharing your journey. It helps me feel less alone ❤
Love your updates. I’m 10lbs down and on my second dose of the .5 of Wegovy. I’m seeing very good and steady results
I love it. I’ve been on it as long as you have. I saw my doc the same day as you. My doc was so happy. I got down 30 pounds since feb 20th. thanks for being transparent and honest about your weight loss journey.
Start adding Magnesium to your water daily to help with constipation. It's also really great for sleep.
I just started taking supplements at night to help with my sleep but also the constipation from taking ozempic.❤
Quick tip if you feel too full.. warm fresh squeezed lemon water will help. Congratulations
We are so mean to ourselves. I am so glad you sought medical help. Thanks for sharing to help others
I was so excited to see you uploaded a new video. Thank you for the update and your honesty. I started Wegovy 2/28/23 at 256 lbs, which is the heaviest I've ever been. I have lost 38 pounds so far on Wegovy and I'm going up to 1.0 next week. And yes, the belching is annoying, but no constipations issues, thankfully. Please continue to update us on your journey.❤
Thanks for the motivation!! I’m on Saxenda. I started in February, I’m down 31 pounds🎉 it’s a journey, thank you for reminding me to set those goals❤
Just took my first injection tonight. You are not boring LOL, far from it. I have learned soooo much reading your posts. I am insulin resistant and have had a problem with my weight for years. Before I met my husband it was easy, I lived on Weight Watchers and didn't have any weight issues. We are very social and it always seems to revolve around food. Now I'm told I have NAFLD, Non Alcoholic Fatty Live Disease. Since my doctor has told me for years to lose weight and I can't get it off and keep it off she said I don't have a choice now and wrote me a prescription and my drug plan approved me within the week. The first video was especially informative as were reading all the readers comments and experiences. Went to Costco and got a Wegovy starter pack. I don't feel like I'm doing this on my own now and I feel so much more knowledgeable and in control. Thank you. 💕 🤗
I thank you soo much for you video's. I started Wegovy 7 weeks ago and I am down 14lbs. I started at 378 and want to get to 250. I think that is small for me. I am 5'10.5 in height. I don't want to get to small I just want to be under 300lbs and weight prior to me having my son. 17 years ago. Your video's have helped me a lot with real live review of how the medication makes " a human" feel. The issue that I am having the hardest time with is the fatigue and occasional nausea. I usually get nauseated when I have bouts of constipation but I have added fiber gummies and smooth move tea and that seems to keep me regular. Thank You for sharing your journey with us. I truly appreciate you.
Thank you for sharing I have been taking Wegovy as well so far from 215-to 200 I have lost 15 pound so far. My goal is to keep it on until I get where I want to be .
I started my Wegovy journey on April 27th and have lost 3lbs. At the beginning of the journey I was feeling full with smaller portions and tracking my calories. Not sure if it was that I was attempting to train my mind that I was
full not. No real symptoms except I feel tired a lot more so I need a nap everyday. I am doing my 3rd shot tomorrow on the 0.5 and I find myself hungry more often. I ignore it and take a sip of my water. Kinda feeling discouraged. I’m on my second week of 16:8 intermittent fasting and feel stuck with no scale movement.
In three months you lost 40 pounds?? Love it!! 180 is my goal weight.
I never had issues with my weight until I started going thru menopause at 40. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes at 52. On November 16, 2022? I began my journey with Mounjaro weighing 206 at 5’7 wearing a size 12-14 and my A1C was 8.4. As of March 16th, I weighed 154 and I now wear a size 5/6 and my A1C is 4.9. No more diabetes or blood pressure meds and I feel absolutely amazing. I’m now on the lowest maintenance dose and I take it every two or three weeks in an effort to slowly wean myself off by the end of the year. These meds are going to save/change folks lives. I’m so grateful ❤
Oh my! similar issues! I was diagnosed with PCOS, irregular periods, obesity, chronic low back pain after a fall but didn’t think the back pain could be from the hormonal issues as well. Thanks for sharing and enlightening.
You could be telling my story!! I've been a size 16 and a size 4 and everything in between. I started Wegovy 9 weeks ago and really focusing on learning how to keep it off this time. I'm working with a nutritionist to learn better habits. You are amazing. You are making this work!
How much weight have you lost from when you started?
@@diamondtiera96 only 10 pounds
How come I don’t feel this super fullness everyone talks about
I am considering Wygovy, I was prescribed it AND it’s finally become available. Your videos have been the most realistic and informative, but also we are the same size!
I’m also 5’7” and broad. I was underweight in my teens but still thought I was “big” because I could never fit into a pants size smaller than size 14. I was literally gaunt and kept trying to lose weight to wear smaller pants. Ended up having to work with a nutritionist to gain weight, and still wore a size 14. lol. So I’m glad you addressed body size and others perception of it.
As an adult I’ve struggled with an autoimmune disease and some comorbidity issues with that. When I addressed some unexpected weight gain a year ago with my doc he was really understanding and empathetic, we had checks frequently for a year to go over my diet, exercise, blood work before he finally suggested wygovy. He’s acknowledged how hard I work to stay healthy and at a healthy weight and how I have some preexisting stuff working against me
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Tomorrow marks week 10 for my wegovy. (Shots done on Wednesday) so far I've lost 16 pounds and I can't tell you how much better I feel and I can't remember the last time I was at the weight I am at now. I've been pushing myself so hard and I'm so darn proud of myself. I also have PCOS too and what you said about it in this video is so relatable I started crying because you took the words right out of my mouth! I wish the the best on this journey and I'm so proud of you ❤️
Congratulations on your progress!!!! I'm on Monjauro and I take the 5mg dose. I've been on since the beginning of the year. My doctor prescribed the medication back in November but I was terrified to take it so I didn't actually start until January or February. My highest weight was 265. I've struggled with my weight all my life. I had Bariatric surgery in 2003 after a total hysterectomy and although I kept my weight off for almost 20 years, having hormonal issues and autoimmune issues, and lymphedema and lipedema, I would swell and gain over 50 lbs so fast without explanation. After they figured out that I wasn't in heart failure after gaining like 90 lbs in less than a year without diet changes, they decided to have me try the shot. It has definitely been God sent. I was 209 when I started. I was 149 at my last appointment at the end of last month. My goal was 135 but at this point I have lost so much fat that I don't think I could bare to be that small. I'm just going to try to maintain from here. We'll see. I do have SEVERELY sagging skin on my arms and legs. My butt deflated. I'm not real happy about that but I'm going to see about my arms. I don't really care about anything else. As my weight settles, maybe my butt will work itself out. LOL and SMH
You’re so beautiful! Thank you for posting your journey…I’m getting ready to start Wegovy, once there is more available (my doctor says it should be soon) and I’m grateful to have founds your videos documenting your experience
You are absolutely gorgeous, wow! I am so happy for you!
I am enjoying following you on this journey! I am on shot 3 of the .5mg Wegovy myself and having a bit of success (started ~190 and am 182 now). Listening to you describe how it was before you started sounded SO familiar! There were times that I would be in the middle of a meal and thinking about what I wanted to eat next and it was non stop and did not make any sense.
Now I'm 49 and entering menopause and did not realize how the hormone change would affect me! There was a 20 pound gain that seemed to come on overnight and I could NOT get it off no matter what. Seeing the scale slowly tick down and - most important for me - the body fat % finally headed in the right direction are huge motivating factors and keep me going on this crazy adventure.
I have noticed lots of burping on this dose too Lol...nothing too bad, not sulfur smelling like some people are reporting, but I definitely feel a sense of relief after it. Like a balloon slowly being deflated. To keep me from being constipated I take psyllium husk powder daily and try to make sure I get LOTS of fiber like 30grams or more, keeps everything moving Ha!
There are a lot of parts of your story that is very similar to mine story with the exception of PCOS. My heaviest was around 225 but I stopped looking at the scale so it could've been higher, I don't really know. I been on Wegovy for 2 yrs and I'm down to 165 which is close to my goal of 160 at a height of 5'7". I kept my weight number secret from my husband for YEARS. I went to a new endocrinologist about my weight and thyroid nodules and she put me on ozempic for prediabetes then transitioned to wegovy so insurance would cover it. I had some sagging/drooping in my backside😂 and a little in my face. I started hormone replacement patch for hot flashes and hair loss, then the sagging and other symptoms improved tremendously. Listen to your body and your doctor and keep going, you got this!!!🎉. You will surprise yourself. Oh, also, I tried drinking water and eating good protein and veggies for the constipation. Do some light weight training to help stay toned. Stay blessed my sister❤
Fantastic! Loving the videos! I'm a lot slower going. I started a few weeks behind you and I've lost 7lbs. Getting there slowly!
You’re literally telling MY STORY!! Thank you for sharing!! You’re providing imperatively valuable insight for those of us going the wegovy route!! I’m following the advice from your first few videos and I’m hoping my journey will have similar successes. BEYOND GRATEFUL!! You look amazing (before AND after)!! Cheering for you!!
Agreed, I’m on terzapitide 2.5 and i’m trying to implement more protein and veggies. I share the same story with you and i’m glad you have been open with us and sharing your journey! Cheers to claiming our body back !
Thank you for all these updates. I had the sleeve surgery in 2016 and have packed on weight within the past 2 years. I'm thinking about wegovy or something similar to help kick start weight loss. These videos are super helpful! Please keep sharing your experiences with this drug
I'm 244 right now and just went and picked up my first month of Wygovy... thanks for the inspiration 💕
Tatiana, thanks for sharing your weight. You are such an encouragement to me. I have PCOS and have been up and down in weight since I was a teenager. I'm at the highest weight I've ever been and, after watching you, I went to my doctor to see about starting Wegovy. My insurance has hurdles you have to jump before they'll do that, so I started with an oral medication called Contrave on May 27th. You start at a low dose (1 per day) and titrate up weekly (until you are taking 4 per day). I took three days of the two per day dose and had the most violet tremors at night. I felt like I was in a mosh pit with myself! I called the pharmacist and he said to stop taking it. It's disappointing because it was really working on the cravings/constant hunger. So I have a message in to my doctor and am hoping I can try Wegovy next.
Omg thank you so much for sharing the big news! I’ve been watching your journey since the beginning and you are super inspiring!
Your skin and your eyes are just so beautiful. Sorry, I am fangirling! I am doing Victoza, just started, so I love your content about your journey. I would love ideas for things you do for dinners. I also have PCOS too. It makes losing weight that much harder!
I love your channel!! I'd love to see a new photo of you now up against the starting photo!
Hey girl you look great! I can definitely see the weight loss in your face. I have PCOS as well I'm 274 starting on ozempic tonight. I've been overweight my entire life really excited to start this journey ❤
How have you found it so far?
So happy for you and your progress!!!! I am just starting my .5 dose this week and am down 11lbs overall. One thing I have noticed helps with the nausea and constipation is I have started drinking a small glass of buttermilk and eating a little bit of pickled ginger twice a day. Not only does it kill any nausea I may have but it is helping with my constipation too!!! Good luck on the remainder of your journey and please keep posting!!! It’s so motivating to see someone succeed at this!!!!!
This was so helpful!! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this. My journey is similar and I feel the same way with my weight!
Glad there are medications to help people like us! You look great!
The burps do relieve things for me, I feel less full. At first I was having issues with constipation but now it's better, almost leaning to the other side, ick. Definitely get the not eating part, just don't want to. Keep up the great work!
This month I start the 2.4mg dose and so far I have lost about 32pounds in 4 months. I also need to hit the Gym I'm sure more weight would be lost faster. You keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your journey.
I’m about to start wegovy I feel so nervous but I need this. I feel exactly how u said in this video feelings ashamed of my body and just how I don’t even recognize myself. I hate taking photos because of how I look.
Your progress absolutely helps me, thank you for making these videos. Just took my first .5 and feeling good
I'm with you girl, the smallest I've been since I was 12 was 185 and that was THIN for me. I barely still had a butt or boobs. I have heavy muscle mass and can weight 40 lbs more than my sister and wear the same size jeans, nobody ever guesses my weight. I'm 230 now and looking to start wegovy to get down to about 195-200 because I think I might be able to maintain that.
I started around the time you started. I just finished my 1 mg pen set yesterday. I have only lost 6 lbs and even now my weight fluctuates. I started at 189 and on a good day im 182. Watching your videos is encouraging but also makes a e little sad because im not having the same results. But every body is different! Congratulations on your success! Im hoping to get there too! ❤🎉
I have only lost 7lbs in 8 weeks. 😢 Just started 1mg.
i also started wegovy the same day and i am on 1mg pen. I have only lost 7lbs and my weight still fluctuates. I went and had blood work done to see if something else was going on. I am menopausal. My vitamin D and testosterone were low. hoping that things will eventually kick in.
I have just started Wegovy. Tomorrow will be my 4th week taking my injection. Then I see my primary care physician on Monday. So far a few side effects that were easy to overcome. Biggest issue I was scared about was my meals each day, watched a few of your videos and took some tips about the things you were eating and started meal prep especially for work so now I take my lunch and I follow a schedule and I don’t eat after a certain time in the evening. These routines have helped me tremendously and I feel confident in what I eat and when I eat. I listen to my body and I know that I don’t like the nausea or the headaches so I just practice my routines and I don’t over stress myself.
Thanks for all the information and sharing your experience with us ❣️
Consider adding a fiber supplement to your water to aid with the constipation. If you are not a kombucha drinker, try it as well. Coffee is a stimulant that can help.
I don't normally comment on videos BUT I feel like my story is yours... same height, same starting weight - which is also my current weight😢. Same body frame and same type of ups n downs on the scale. The idea of losing weight is all consuming for me. I am currently looking for a Doc/Med Spa that will prescribe Wegovy for me. I am praying that I can get started on it soon as I am sick n tired of being sick n tired. I need to make a change and a jump start via Wegovy I think would give me the momentum that I need. Thank you for sharing your story. Please keep the great content coming! ❤
Try Push I’ve heard good things about them.
I had weight loss surgery about 10 months ago and only loss 49lbs, my weight keep fluctuating between 212 and 223 so two weeks ago i went to my doctor who suggested the shots to help me but like most people I have been worried about taking that step but listening to you and some of the other stories am a bit more informed still haven’t decided what am going to do but watching your videos helps
1.7 kick started my weight loss! I do not like the 2.4 I am having abdominal pain more. I am taking 1 every 2 weeks. My next visit I am asking to go back down to 1.7. Love your videos and Transparency.
We have similar stature. 5'6 broad shoulders (no boobs on this side) but I also was 245 at my heaviest. I started wegovy at 224 now at 179. Girl never in my adult life have I ever saw below 190. It's weird here.
hahaha! I can only imagine how weird it is there!!!!! My mind can't wrap my head around it!
That's great. I'm encouraged. On my next Dr appointment. I will get Wegoy prescription.
@@reneeterrell2539 woot woot! Good luck on your journey 🙇♀️
Thank you for sharing, and for CONTINUING to share your journey, its been my experience that some people stop uploading after a while on the drug, its been amazing hearing about your experiences and how it has for in with your lifestyle and health conditions. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into recording amd sharing!❤
I feel you sis. Always been a yoyo effect with my weight. I started at 241. My heaviest in life!! Miserable. I had knee replacement surgery. I was suggested wegovy from my cardiologist. I took several tests that all turned out good. I went as a recommendation from my regular Dr due to swelling and inflammation. I told her I wanted to see a Dr for lymphatic drainage but she wanted to check my heart first. Happy I did. I'm 55 and e really have to stay on top of our health as we get older too.
Thank you so much for your candor. I am exactly your starting weight and am ashamed. I would 💗 to be 180 again. 5'5". 53 yrs old. Menopause is a bitch.
You are very relatable and gorgeous and im glad i found your channel.
Keep shining ⭐🌟
Thanks so much for your inspiring video. I will starting Wegovy next week after my dr, appointment. My doctor recommended it after I hit a plateau losing 30lbs. I am going thru perimenopause and I could not understand what was going on with my weight, I look forward to the journey. I can't wait to watch your future videos. Maybe I will get bold to start my own channel. 😉
I'm only 3 weeks in and I've had really bad hives but it's better now after going to ER. Because I'm definitely not stopping. Congratulations on your success 👏🏾👏🏾
Hi there,
Can you feel the injection going in ? The needle leaving a tiny mark or, feeling a slight burn or anything the like?
Thank you for being so transparent I start the .5 on April 14 and I have lost 16lbs. I will say that you do eat because with Wegovy you still have to eat and excercise. Thank you for your support it's needed ❤
Love this video! Thanks for sharing. I’m on Maunjaro just got my 2nd dose of 5mg. I’m stalled out on weight loss the last several weeks. You’ve inspired me to not get discouraged! Thank you.❤
Update!!! The scale is moving again, I’m so glad. Thanks again for the info and perspective.
I'm about to take my 4th shot of ozempic.
I lost 4.8lbs but gained 2lbs back. I'm going to go up in dosage and try to cut my calories even more (currently eating 1900, going to aim for 1600).
I haven't had any side effects either, so I hope that the increase won't give me any.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m 5’4 now sitting at 216 and that shocked me. I got scared because I’ve never gained this much weight. Been struggling with my weight for years now and I wasn’t sure what else to do. I’ve reached out to my doctor to find what’s best for me. If this product is the way I want to thank you for being vulnerable and informing us all throughout your journey. You’ve inspired me in taking the next step into my wellness journey and ❤ I thank you. Continue to make those big strides in your life.
I love your posts and following your journey. I’ve been on Semeglutide since mid-March. I can’t believe how much I cannot eat. I’ve only lost 15 pounds and I think the only issue I have is wine after work. It’s just unhealthy and doesn’t process like normal calories. Turns into sugar junk basically. I’m cutting back and know they will be the trick. Thank you for your videos! You’re awesome.
Did you ever do a voice over for a commercial. U have such a wonderful voice
Please 🙏 keep posting I'm barely going to start my journey, and thank you for all the tips, especially the starter kit and Dos, and Don'ts!!! I have a long way I'm sadly at 325 but was in abusive relationship with PCOS have a 3 year old and can't wait to heal both mentally and now physically ❤😢 so blessed you for sharing !! So excited to start ❤❤❤ bless you
Keep sharing! I'm just starting on my 3rd shot. You're looking beautiful.
I totally understand. I have PCOS and Hashimoto’s disease. I’m starting wegovy this weekend.
Girl that was 190 lbs? You look great. Kudos to you to get to where you want to be.
7:03 Same here! My lowest was 164lbs and I looked ok. I have an apple shape body, lots if belly. So I have to be in the 160's to loose that bulge. I'm also 5'7" and Im flabby. 😭
You have a great shape, you're arms and legs are not saggy nor flabby.
You look great! Thanks for the motivation!
Wow! I appreciate how honest you are with this journey. My Dr just put me on Ozempic so your experience is very helpful. I'll continue to watch. Congratulations on your weight loss, you look amazing but you also have a beautiful spirit. 🙏🏾💕
I have pcos, hypothyroidism, Pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and have been doing intermittent fasting for years just to maintain my weight. I weigh 245. I've been on wegovy for 3 months lol. Lost like 1 pound. I guess my body is not interested in the wegovy hype. Watching other's do well is overwhelming. My weigh ins when I started at 246, then month 2 253, then month 3 245. I get weighed again later this week. I was already used to eating in a controlled schedule and portions so I don't feel a major change with the wegovy. So I'm to the point where gastric sleeve is looking like a necessary option. I'm happy many are seeing results. Just wanted to comment for those like me who are not having results to know you are not alone. I'm just continuing to comply with my doctor's advice.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have so many of the same issues and am currently trying to figure out what is going on with my body. Gaining weight has been a struggle that goes up and down along with period/bleeding issues. Hope your journey continues to be a success.
So proud of you. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is helping others especially me. ❤
You are gorgeous, I love this video. This video is 100% me, even with the PCOS, the being ashamed and all that. I've never told anyone my weight and I was considering blogging my weight loss journey, but I was like how can I if I don't want to tell my weight? My daughter was like if someone asks just say I am not ready. Funny thing, all of your videos that I have watched, I never noticed you didn't mention your weight and when you did, I felt like you didn't need to, it didn't really matter. I like that you said allow ourselves "grace" we are so hard on ourselves, when to others, it doesn't even matter. You are beautiful no matter what, congratulations!!
You look so awesome! Congrats! I can definitely relate to watching your child growing up and not taking much pictures with them because you're uncomfortable with your weight. I mentioned that to the endocrinologist at my first appointment. This is a part of my motivation to lose weight. One day I won't be around anymore and I want him to still have pictures of him and I from his childhood. I am on my second shot of the 1MG and have been tolerating it surprisingly well. Perhaps it's because the doctor made me spend an extra 4 weeks in 0.5mg because I had vomiting the first two weeks on 0.5mg. I have also been struggling with the constipation from this drug and recently found the key is to drink 9 to 12 glasses of water per day. I started this a week ago and have gotten really regular and no longer have to force or use meds to go.
You look GREAT!! Congratulations on your success 😃
I watch a lot of videos on wegovy and people's journeys while taking this medication. But I really look forward to yours! That is all ❤
Thank you for sharing. You look amazing 👏🏿
So proud of you 👏 I totally relate with not telling my weight to anyone. Even my husband doesn't know how much I weigh. I have been on wagovy for 4 weeks and lost 15 lbs, but now the pharmacy can't get it, I'm so upset and don't know how it's going to work now.
i haven't been able to get it here in california no pharmacy has it 😢
Thanks to you my wife and myself have sought help and received prescriptions for Wegovy. For now we are on back order but you give us so much hope. Thanks
Glad I found your channel. Yes Burping! I have it too. But I feel so much better when I do. More so since I started the 2.4 dose. I am trying to figure out if I notice it with certain fiods, relation to when I take dose etc. I will be curious what discussion you have with your doctor when you get to your goal.
Your videos are really helpful. I'm on the journey with you 😊
I also felt the shame and embarrassment over my weight. I recently found out that I have hypo thyroid/Hashimotos. I'm down 27 lbs.
You look amazing and keep going, we got this❤
THANK YOU so much for your videos & being so transparent. I'm so glad that I came across your YT channel as I'm getting ready to start my Wegovy injections as soon as the pharmacy gets them in stock. Big thanks to all your pointers on the B12, iv packets, scale, etc. I've ordered everything 😊😊. My Dr. wrote my script for me to do the .25 for 2wks then I start the .5. I'm nervous but so ready as my weight issue started with early menopause so hopefully the injections will work. Thanks again & huge congrats on your weight loss success❤!!
Thank you for sharing your journey Tatiana ❤ literally minutes after my first shot, the lil burps started and also help with the feeling. I’m about to move up to 5mg but worried that I’ll have to stop because of the shortage. Please update if you have had difficulty getting Wegovy, if not what your plan is to stay on track if you do.
I am on semaglutide and I had constipation until I started taking plain yoghurt with raspberries. I have a bowl movement every day now. My doctor prescribed wegovy for me in May but cvs is out of stock so I am getting my injections at a medspa. So far 10lbs down.
I'm having a hard time getting .5 mg like many other people. I had my script moved over to Amazon. Hopefully i won't end up going too long without it because I've been slowly losing weight and am happy with it. It is a huge adjustment to your diet. I have to be careful about not eating too much or I'll get sick. I also can't drink coffee anymore or anything fatty.
I’ve got Ozempic in my fridge and I’m starting it tomorrow. I’m scared but watching your videos to get me hyped up. I’m also never going to be “small”, I’m 5’11” and the smallest I’ve been as an adult was around 185, which was “skinny” for me. Right now I’d be more than thrilled to get under 200. Wish me luck, I hope I can hack the side effects.
Just been approved for wegovy...and I've been watching your videos. Thank you ^_^
