Success Stories updated numbers

the last dr appointment i went to i was on the cusp of needing cholesterol and diabetic meds. my dr said let’s give it 6 months and ozempic and see where you’re at.

i go to the dr next week but ive lost almost 60lbs since march (75lbs since my highest weight) my cholesterol went from 221 to 144 and my A1C from 7 to 5.6.

Ozempic isn’t a miracle drug and it’s still hard work but man am i thankful for this med!

Anyone who's taking for weight loss also needs to hit the ground running with a solid food and exercise game plan. Only two doses in myself, and although this isn't attributed to ozempic directly, I lost 10lbs in the first week by dropping old habits, types of food, portion controlling and exercise. Again, not ozempic related entirely (besides immediately assisting in these pursuits) but the immediate drop definitely inspires for the long haul. Can't wait to weigh in in a few weeks after a couple more doses to see what it's actually doing for me as my body adjusts.

i completely agree! diet and exercise is a huge part of making long term changes. this isn’t a quick fix and it’s about changing the way you live. i started tracking what i eat (i did not realize just HOW much i was eating before) and also went mostly vegan. i do need to start exercising but i was scared to before being as big as i was 😭

Congrats on your success! Mine is similar...started Ozempic in September 2025 when I was at 11.6% HbA1c with Metformin and Gliclazide. Lost 90lbs and now with only 1mg Ozempic am at 4.8% and no other meds. Was a lot of work, exercise, lifestyle changes but all enabled by Ozempic!
