semaglutide — my 2-week log, condensed into one table
Week 85 update. 46kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 30.
Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.
The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.
Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Strongly agree. If it is not working at 5mg after 76 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Maintenance for 6 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 21 weeks to accept.
My version: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part. Nobody believes that until they do it.
Is that purity or net peptide content? They are not the same number.
my A1c moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
titration speed is weekly dosing plus side effects, period
Yeah, 48 weeks on 7.5mg, same pattern, same timing.
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 96.8% on the same vial is normal.
Not to be pedantic but weekly dosing and semaglutide are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
