Started 2:1 (week three) today. Feeling discouraged but I know it takes time.

In my first week I lost 4 pounds, second week 0, and I know I have to be patient but I am feeling incredibly discouraged. I know everyone is different and it takes time, but when did yall see the most weight loss? I’d love some encouragement and to hear your stories.
That’s definitely been my priority, I have changed my lifestyle completely, and like I said in my post, I know it takes time and everyone is different. Im not expecting it to magically disappear over night, but as an extra emotional gal sometimes I get easily discouraged by little things- thats just who I am, and I know some others in here can relate. Im just an anxious girly who likes to hear peoples stories, and I can assure you I am not viewing it as a race. I appreciate your comment though, you are right it wont fall off over night, just a curious gal thats all.
Feeling similar. Started really strong and now I don’t feel the medication and I am maintaining not losing 😟
Like I know I should be moving more, had no choice this past week, but ugh its so discouraging!
I hadn’t lost any weight by week three and I just stopped weighing myself. I noticed other positives and tried to focus on making good food choices and exercising and now after about 6 1/2 weeks I am down 9 pounds. I am not going to weigh myself again for about a month and see what happens. I think it is different for everyone but maybe try not to compare and just keep going! It will happen!
Yeah I think I am gonna stop weighing myself, it’s always been toxic for me so idk why I thought that would change. It’s definitely different for everyone, I am just a diagnosed anxious person LOL
I think many of us have a toxic relationship with the scale I do too. I hope you start noticing a difference soon!
I didn’t lose a pound in the first four weeks, as I stepped up to two pills per day. Then suddenly on week five, I dropped 4.5 pounds. This isn’t like the shots and you don’t see rapid loss, but I’m hoping it’s a more sustainable and livable loss.
Yeah I wasn’t expecting rapid weight loss like shots, just was curious to hear stories. Hearing others personal experiences brings me encouragement.
Hang in there! I think for some of us this feels like a last resort because we’ve tried everything. But deep breaths… you will get there. How’s your mind doing? Is it starting to feel calmer? Less desperate for food? These are wins! But I do understand why you feel this way. Hugs!
This is just the response I needed. I really appreciate you! <3
On fourth bottle. Only 5 more pounds to lose. Lost 25. But also doing WW and gym
I went through this same lull! I started losing again after week 4. Hang in there 🩷🩷
Glad to hear that, thank you so much!
When I actually started noticing some weight loss, it was around the 4-5 week mark. Weightloss doesn't happen overnight, and this medication needs some time to build up in your system. Have patience.
Yeah, I understand that. As I said in my post, I know it takes time. Sometimes I just find encouragement from peoples individual stories! 🫶🏼
HI there! You are doing great. Make sure to focus on the positives. Do you notice a decrease in cravings? Do you notice your food noise has decreased? Have you stopped snacking or thinking about food? There are so many things that this medication can do for you, aside from just weight loss. It has given me more control over my choices. I don't eat out of boredom or think about food or my next meal constantly. Even if I crave something and I give into that craving, after a bite or two, I am done. I try to focus on those milestones, because that has never happened to me. I didn't lose one single pound until week 6. I lost 4 pounds that week. I am on day 42 and feel great. I haven't lost anymore weight yet, but I know I will. I am putting in the work, making sure I am feeding my body what it needs and staying very active. You got this! I know you can do it!
Be patient! Weight loss is a journey and sure isn’t a race. I remind myself that the weight didn’t pile on overnight, and it isn’t going to fall off within weeks.
Focusing on changing habits and lifestyle should be the priority here.
