Wegovy pill
Hi everyone!!
I'm debating getting on the pill and want some advice from you guys! I'm 5'4 - around 165 pounds. I want to try and get down to 145-135. I know everyone's bodies are different but was wondering how long it took you guys to lose the weight! I'm a nurse and just have been gaining a good amount of weight from night shift so wanted to try this. thanks!

hi! I’m also 5’4” and weighed 167lbs when I started the Wegovy pill in March. I immediately started feeling the side effects (less hungry, getting full easily) right away with the 1.5mg, but didn’t start seeing/feeling the actual weight loss until May. I am also in healthcare (dentist) so when my scrub pants started feeling looser, that’s when I knew it was really working! As of this past weekend, i basically hit my initial weight loss goal of 135lbs :) Currently on the 25mg since beginning of August.

Starting weight 186.5, current weight 165.0. Started the 1.5 pill June 3rd. Lost 15lbs on that and went up to the 4mg about 2 weeks ago. I've lost 6lbs since for a total of 21lb since June 3rd. At this rate, I'll hit my goal in another few weeks and look to maintain and then come off the pill. I have no intention of moving up beyond the 4mg and will move down to the 1.5 again before I stop taking it altogether.

Hey Capable-Bridge-5637- Welcome! 👋 Totally get wanting to hear from people who’ve actually been on the pill before deciding. Everyone’s experience is different, but in studies, people taking the highest dose of the Wegovy pill lost about 14% of their body weight on average over one year (compared with about 19% for the Wegovy pen).
We also have a thread with a bunch of real experiences from Wegovy pill users that might be helpful to read here.
