If you're wondering how things are going, I just posted an update on the Wegovy 1.7 th-cam.com/video/1-nwu2z3I84/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Lzz_gtRSTD-MQxzc
Water, weights, walk, wait(fasting) and Wegovy….weight loss!!!
This was my success story
Noted!
How wonderful for you. Would you like a medal ?
@@helenalovelock1030 yes she should get a medal.
How long do you fast for?
What was your fasting schedule?
Took my first .25mg dose this week and it had an immediate impact on me - no hunger & no "food noise" in my head. It's such a bizarre feeling! People who don't live with food noise in their head have no idea how lucky they are. Frick all those people who claim weight loss is simply lack of willpower or treat it like a moral failing.
I hear you! I definitely know about the food noise. I pick my prescription up today for the same dose ❤
@@timetoboogie92 Good luck girl! I hope it works well for you! I was at the doctor's office today and lost 5 lbs in one week so it's really working better than I could have hoped.
😆 as I was reading your comment and saw "food noise" I immediately got scared and thought OMG wegovy causes hallucinations 😂 but then I finished reading
Same here. Lost 5lbs in five days. Very Happy 😮
I took my first dose last night. .25…. I’ve got to say, definitely curved my appetite and snacking today. I was in Walmart at the checkout, looking at all the junk chips, candy and stuff, and I actually had no urge to buy any of it that showed me. It was working for me.
I took my first dose yesterday. I am not even wanting my wine!
@@gwenfrazier7027 an even if you drink wine you won't feel it. And it has a weird taste to it after a few sips
I sometimes buying those tiny bags of chips just to stave off that craving but you're right
thanks for sharing, I am on week 2 and trust me you are spot on about avoiding fried foods
I watched your video months ago and I finally asked my doctor, I started the journey June 7 2024. My doctor’s office gives me the injection once a week. I have lost 33 pounds in 3 months. I am now on maintenance shots every 2 weeks and I feel better, my blood pressure are normal, my blood work are normal, my cholesterol levels are normal. I started exercising as well. ❤️❤️❤️ It works, I used to eat so much and snack on junk food, chips chocolate and soda, I dont even think about it now. I still eat 2,3 times a day but smaller portions, my stomach is so used to eating small and gets full fast. My jeans size were at 14 when I started, I am wearing size 9/10 now. The only downside is i was having problem with constipation, no other problem, I just dranked more water and used miralax once in a while. It works people!! Ask your doctor and start your journey. ❤️
This makes my heart so happy. Glad you've had such good results!
Thank you so much for being transparent. I'm on 0.5 and only shed 6lbs. I was starting to get frustrated but listening to you and your journey, I will continue to be optimistic..
You got this! Everyone loses weight at a different pace, focus on the positive - you're already down 6lbs and you're really just getting started!
Thank you so much
update?
@@DesiJade,I'm on the 1mg & currently down 15lbs. The nausea is hitting more with this dose. Thank you.
@@mayraaguilar8046how long did it take to lose 15
I’ve lost over 20lbs in 3months on semaglutide
When did you start loosing? I’m on my 6th week and nothing I’m confused
@@jamietate22 It didn't work for me. I feel like when its mixed, its less potent....just my opinion. I was hungry my second week. Plus, my pharmacy was sketchy! I got it from Strive Pharmacy, and there is on place online to leave or read reviews.......

Same no weight loss for me either
Great news
I got approved today, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow... I'll start on Friday I'm so excited Thank you for this video
You’re welcome! Good luck on your journey
as someone who battled weight concerns, stumbling upon this video felt like finding a guiding light. Sharing a personal review on WGOI, the speaker's journey echoed aspects of my struggle. Curiosity mingled with caution, I resonated with her detailed experience, contemplating the impact on cravings and cost.
Glad it was helpful!
I believe it's now widely being covered by insurance. My copay is $24/mo down from 6 months ago $300/mo. I waited until it was covered.
I need to check with my insurance again. It would be amazing to have this covered!
Definitely check! If your I durance covers any weightloss program they should cover wegovy! Good luck!
Same here. $24.99!
Go to the manufacturer's website and get the savings card. Before the card $24.99 with insurance after the savings card $0
Also if people have Medicaid it covers it depending on the state. My copay is $3
Your video is so informative. Other videos I watched never get to the point & give out fluff. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this! I am on my second week of .5 (6 weeks in) and I feel like the scale has barely budged! I will work toward 1.0
You're welcome! Start taking progress photos too! I saw myself shedding inches before I started seeing the scale move
This video was very helpful... I just started my third week of the 0.25 dosage.. I've been intermittent fasting with mine... So far, so good!!
Good video! I'm going through WW and will be researching the different types of meds. I guess I would take the shot Friday afternoons. That way if I were nauseous, ugh, I'd be at home over the weekend.
C’mon for hitting the goal!!!🎉
You did that girl!!!
I'm on my 4th dose of Trulicity and like you, I've only lost about 2-3 lbs. I'm both excited and nervous about going up a dose this Sunday (if they have my dose available at the pharmacy by then). Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Thank you so much. I think I’m gonna start mine either tonight or tomorrow. Nervous but interested to see how it goes.
You're welcome! Don't be nervous, you can always make adjustments if you need to. Good luck!
Thank you for this my doctor just prescribed me the starter dose can’t wait to start
Same!
Best of luck!
Listening to your video gave me an alternative. I can get it through Amazon pharmacy. I heard you mention that in the video no one had ever mentioned that to me so thank you for that information if they have the doses that I’m on since I’m on the starter dosage after that moving up if they have it available, I can go through that and not have to go through the hassle of buying dry ice and insulated bag and take a chance on whether it’s gonna be good by the time it gets from Texas to Louisiana, I’m kind of excited
Glad I could help!
Best video I've seen on Wegovy. I have had similar experience only I haven't gone down 2 pant sizes. But I am older and have noticed my clothes fitting better and slightly looser. I've lost 11 pounds in 7 weeks. I actually gained .7 pounds this week. Constipation is real on this drug. Best to eat more fiber and eat generally healthy. I'm hoping the 1.0 takes away my craving for ice cream. However, when I have had ice cream on Wegovy I only eat a small amount. I am also strength training 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes. I wonder if that is contributing to slow weight loss in month 2?
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it. When I started to stall, my nutritionist recommended a more balanced diet. Apparently I needed to eat more carbs once I started adding in weights. I also love ice cream. I've been eating it less often and trying to eat outshine bars or yasso bars instead. Occasionally though, I still have my ice cream lol. It's all about balance
This is Gonna b so Insightful Tonia🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀…..
I cant velieve you brought up them wings cuz Im literally about to get on my lunch break and go get some Wingstop 😂 thank you for putting it into perspective!
😂😂 you’re welcome
I personally think it don't matter what you weight on a scale. As long as you see and feel it when you put on your clothes. lol. So glad you have a positive journey so far. Thank you for this info.
I totally agree!
I needed this because I was ready to quit because I’ve been on this for a month and lost maybe 3lbs lol. I will keep pushing
I believe losing it slowly is good. I know I want instant gratification but maybe losing it slowly won't be as harmful.
Slow and steady lol. Just make sure you're working out consistently
Just started today!
Good luck!
Great video, thank you for sharing! I also LOVE your intro; it's by far one of the best intros I have ever seen (and I watch A LOT of TH-cam vids)!
Thank you so much! This warms my heart because I made that myself lol
I'm so glad I found your page. I'm going to my doctor tomorrow and have been trying to decide if this is for me or not.
You mentioned lethargy on the .25 dosage and that you took the shot later in the day. Is there a reason you didn't incorporate additional caffeine?
I just didn’t want to. Adjusting the time seemed like an easier solution. The bonus is I’m able to fall asleep faster too
Just started Wednesday, so glad I found your channel.
Good luck on your journey 🫶🏾
Starting Thursday! This was very helpful 💕
How are you doing now?
So true the shot should be warm
Thanks for the info just starting my journey on the .25💪🏾💜I’m ready!!
You got this!
Thankyou❤️
May I ask where you find it in stock?
I purchased from mail order through my insurance.
This is the most useful video I’ve found on this so far! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I start mine on Wednesday, this video was very informative ❤💯 ! I will be subscribing
Good luck!!
Just started wegovy yesterday and on the .5 due to outages of the .25. This was so informative, and you are too funny! Plus can we talk about this melt?! Edges where?
Thanks for the video, sis!
They got a .5 I did not know this
@@lesliejohnston1554 yeah. It's supposed to be the second month's dose.
hahahahaha it's just a closure, thank you! How has it been jumping straight into the .5 dose?
@@ToniaKayyyou're welcome! it's been okay so far. i have only had 2 injections so far and one was today lol. but i've been following the advice from you and others who have been gracious to share on youtube. i've already lost some weight!
Yessssss!
I just got the .25 dose yesterday through my doc/insurance because of my BMI, I only had to pay my regular prescription copay. Excited and nervous 🙂↕️
You will be ok..just Drink as much water as you can stand and take your doses at night that way if you don't feel well you can just sleep it off
Good Luck!
Thank you so much for the awareness,so valuable!
Glad it was helpful!
I didn’t know Amazon has a pharmacy. Ty for that info. Good to know in case I wanna save up.
10 lbs lost on my first dose. I was trying to lose 30 pounds. But already hit healthy weight and body fat mass. I don’t like the nausea at all tho. I will try to work on my diet this next month.
Thanks for this, Im on dose 2 of the starter dose so I appreciate this info as I've not noticed or felt anything! 🙏🏾💓
Keep us updated hopefully mine will be here Friday or Monday and I can start with the starter pack and have no issues also I sure have prayed for that and I will pray you continue to have none
Glad it was helpful!
I'm im my 4th week with wegovy and happy and confident with my results so far. I lost 8lb (3,8kg) in 3 weeks, with 0.25. I've started the 0.5 at in week 4 and i thing I'm in a good path. I'm not hungry and i almost don't have cravings. I think the side efects are helping me a lot 😂. I barelly could eat with the nausea or the feeling that you have to vomit.
That's one way to look at it haha
Thank you for your tips I wasn’t aware of bringing the pen to room temp. Noted.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! the cost in US is insane. I just got a prescription and waiting for it to be filled and pharmacy told me it will be $485 Canadian dollars which is about $350 US.
It 309€for 2.4mg and 170€ for 1mg 200€ for 1.7mg in Germany without insurance
How do u get it. I am in germany too
I am in Germany too. Please do share more Informationen on how u got this on Amazon
Thank you so much just up to my pink dose I’ll keep pushing
Is it a different pen in Europe? I can see the needle in mine. Also, the four weeks dose is 170-300€.
I just started it will be on my 2nd shot Saturday.
Good luck!
Out of curiosity how is it going for you ? Have you seen good results ?
Good for you! But you should be getting your medication from Canada. It cost 2/3 less. But you have to have your prescription written out and then you upload it.✌💙
Upload it where, pls? Is there an app?
The coupon is still out there. I just used it because my Insurance wouldn’t pay for it. I paid 0 dollars for it.
Where's the coupon?
Oh my, the amount you all get charged for things is crazy. Not kidding when i say this, I bought Wegovy in the UK this week for the first time and it was only £135 which is great for me. But I feel so bad for everyone across the pond being priced out of getting Wegovy or similar.
Yeah it's crazy!
Exactly greedy pharmaceutical companies ripping off the USA , it’s cheaper for them to buy it here and get a holiday
lolol I"m like you I just started a few weeks ago and I"m looking forward to dropping this weight for good
I wanna try but I'm afraid it won't work..
You got this!
My doctor didn’t have samples of it. I met with a weight loss specialist at my job to see. I wanted wegovy they offered me zephbound but they don’t have very much of that too. I start tomorrow. I’m excited but nervous
Thank you for this video. Great information.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks friend love the video 👍🏽
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this video. I finally received the starter dose after waiting for 4mos. I will take the shot on Friday.
Good luck!
Iam waiting for the stater dose in nj
Any side effects when you started,?
Ty
I’m currently appealing my insurance for Wegovy. I’m thinking about taking a fruit and vegetable supplement if I go on it so that when I eat I can eat lean protein. I already drink a ton of water. I mean I carry that Stanley cup everywhere I go. lol. I also am planning on trying to do some light exercise so I won’t be all flab afterward. Did you do any of those things?
Is this good for menopause women
Not hungry at all started 2 days ago l try eat small things but make me feel so full any suggestions as im nurse work long hrs we all need food yes please help
Did you need a prior authorization to get the medication covered by insurance? I’m having a hard time getting the coverage. They require a prior authorization but denied it
My insurance wouldn’t cover my wegovy but they said if I switched to ozempic they would cover that. HSA/FSA funds are another option
Depends on the insurance you have , the prior authorization is basically to see if your diet and exercising, and they look at your bmi as well
I had to get prior authorization. I found a pharmacy that got it done so fast. I have medicaid. You just have to find a pharmacist who know what they are doing. Check Walmart Pharmacy too
How many months does Medicaid cover it for ?
@@reneeterrell2539how many months does Medicare cover it for
Is this stuff covered by insurance, what’s the ball park cost with insurance?
How did you apply to get your Wegovy from Amazon?
I'm on wegovy and my first dose I noticed less cravings and then after that I just don't have any cravings.
I printed the coupon off the Wegovy website and used it earlier this week
Oh that's amazing! I'm glad they activated it again!
Does insurance covered anything? How much it cost after coupon
Glad I found you- I’m on Wegovy too
Thank you for watching && good luck on your journey as well
Hi is there any coupons available now?
My first week and I don’t feel nothing
I just got prescribed wegovy for pcos
“As for me in my house” took me out! I’m the same way 🤣
At walmart here in ms, .5 is $1400
The price in the US is crazy. Here in Germany I have to pay 171€ for up to 1 ml.
The price of everything is crazy in the US lol
How do you get it? Do you have to go through a third party
Can you skip the 0.25 dose and start with the 0.5 dose or 1dose
why would you do that?
@@ToniaKayylol so I can see effects faster
Does that make sense ?
You will probably end up making yourself sick. They typically start you on the low dose to gauge how your body will tolerate it. Too much, too fast can give you some terrible side effects
Did you deal with constipation issues? That scares me the most since I usually have a hard time. Any advice would be great!
I have a video on this on my page. It should help!
How do you use Amazon pharmacy
go to pharmacy.amazon.com/ and there's a link at the bottom of the page that says "learn more about how it works", click on that. It's very easy to use. You just get your doctor to send your perscriptions there and they will fill it and deliver it to your door. All you have to do is check out your amazon pharmacy cart. They also take insurance and will allow you to see how much it costs with and without insurance before moving forward. I haven't had any issues with them so far
Very informative, and you’re hilarious and gorgeous! Did I mention you’re gorgeous?
hahahahaha thank you!
Я живу в Україні у нас його немає,без рецепту можливо купити??
No. You have to have a perscription for Wegovy.
I was wondering why I been so dehydrated
Wow, you talk fast
It’s $470 in Canada…👀😅🙏🏾
Wegovy is less than £200 in the UK that’s crazy
That's what I keep hearing. I'm very jealous lol
I was on it untill i got to the 1.7, i started loosing weight on the 1ml but when i went up to 1.7 I had so bad side effects i just couldnt be on it anymore
I lowkey wish I could've stayed on the 1mg. I lost the most weight and I didn't have many side effects
I’m sorry for you sister wish you the best I’m on 1.7 but I haven’t had any side effects.❤❤
@@ToniaKayy I actually started again and this is my second month on 1mg but now I'm not loosing anything.
I notice i pee more lol.
lol yeah me too
The medicine doesn't stop working... We have fat that has to be broken down first . The weight we just gained comes off faster . Medicine has to break up the fat so it can leave the body.. And ozempic and all the other meds have semaglutide including wegovy .. u might not need a higher dose yet 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
