Great to hear of your progress on this. I’m on Day 5 and have lost 4 pounds. My doctor knew I had wanted to accelerate my progress so I’m increasing dosage on every 4th day. Thankfully no crazy notable side effects.
Good luck! Ill be starting sometime this week. Great video, thank you
I enjoyed your video and congratulations on your success to date!!! I am on week 2 of Saxenda and feeling great. I’m down 5 lbs so far. I look forward to watching more of your journey on CZcams! Keep sharing your progress!! 🎉
That’s great! Way to go on your progress, and thanks for watching!
I'm about to start in a week and I am so ready to get this 40lbs off my body. Thanks for the review!
I’m on the end of week 2, on 1.2mg and in two more days I’ll go up to 1.8. The only complaint I have in terms of side effects is fatigue. These past two days especially I just had zero energy all day. No GI side effects yet, thankfully. Medication has been working great for me
I started taking this in August and have lost 40+ lbs so far
Great video! I’m day 4 on Saxenda! I was on Ozempic (compounded version)for about 6 months, I lost 35 pounds. I’m hoping to get similar results with Saxenda. So far no sides effects and don’t feel the need to overeat. I do understand what you are going through with trying to get to the gym, that’s an everyday struggle!
Hola por favor me podrías decir qué tal te fue con saxenda?? Estoy por comenzar y me recomendaron ozempic pero el
Médico me recomendó saxenda! Así que estoy indecisa por que no se si funcionan igual. Según he visto ozempic es más efectivo pero quien una recomendación de alguien como tú que ya lo haya usado . Gracias 😊
I'm on day 3 and I'm down 8 pounds already. Just hopped on the scale as a fluke and was completely shocked! Before starting I had already started changing the way I ate...but now I'm not hungry at all. I was only able to eat 1 hotdog for lunch...usually I can eat 2 at once...I barely was able to finish one. This pen is really a game changer for me. I also changed my exercise routine and I have way more energy to do it. I am so looking forward to my weight loss journey.
Thanks for the videos...they are really helpful!
Way to go!! Keep up the good work, and thank you for the comment!
Hi thank you for your video. I will start next month. How are you one year later ?
Great job 🎉 I’m starting week 2 it’s going great 😊
Awesome! I think I’m going to post week 4 update tomorrow. It’s been a challenging week!
Your information was very helpful, congratulations on your journey
Thank you! I’m glad sharing my experience is helping!
I'm up to week 6. I stayed on 2.4mg for the last couple weeks due to stomach pain and nausea. I felt progress after week 4 with some notable weight loss. Be gentle with the needles, take your time, don't press and you'll reduce bruising.
Great tip. I’ll have to try that. My wife thinks I should mix up the injection sites due to the amount of bruising on my abdomen.
Are you taking this with any medications like SSRIs which cause weight gain
Thanks! I’m on day 2!
Im on week 4, I have IBS, so constipation is plaguing me...haven't been able to stay consistent with shots but I have lost 7 pds....I know it's not alot but I'm looking for options to naturally control my constipation...Thx for the informative review!
I work in healthcare I was told injecting the legs you'll have less side effects
I’m on day 4 and already down 3lbs. It is truly hard to process how incredible this drug is. I’ve been on contrave for months and the change was slow but Saxenda is a miracle for me. I do have some nausea but nothing crazy but virtually I have limited desire for food. I do work out a lot and I took maybe 5 bites of my whole wheat penne and abt 1/4 of a meatball before I got full. I’m subscribing for updates on your progress. We got this - I am so excited for you. Thanks for sharing!
That’s great! I remember soon after starting, I got full on two slices of pizza. Prior to Saxenda, I could have easily downed half of that large pizza! Thanks for the follow, and keep it up!! My next target is 200 lbs
I am also starting can you pleaser reply how much u have lost its 3months now
@@theXchange 😊
Hello! I’m down 14 lbs. I ended up taking a break for a month and am about to refocus myself to reach my goal.
You got this Kris! I plateaued in the last month but in the time I started Saxenda in January, I’m down 30lbs! Looking to switch things up to remain challenged. Rooting for you all!
Hi, I'm in the UK, I enjoyed the video. I'm just about to start Saxenda for the first time! I value the information from your journey as I'm a little apprehensive. I have lost a stone in little over a month with diet alone but I have plateaued of late. Keep up the great work, I get inspiration from all the people who share their stories. Regards Mark
Thanks, Mark! All my best as you begin! I need post an update soon as it’s been a few weeks
Mark Oldham-Fox I’m in the uk too, do you mind if I ask where you got your Saxenda from?
@kizzywitch hi I went to privatedoc online. Really easy process. I'm starting week 3 today and I've lost 4lb during that time. I started my journey on boxing day and I'm 18lbs down as of yesterday. I was eating sensibly using Nutracheck as opposed to MFP. I find it easier and more interesting to navigate and I pay a small annual fee. I weigh and measure everything that passes my lips. Good luck with your journey, hope you find what's right for you. Also I have enquired about the weekly injection, ozempic. I have 1.5 Saxenda pens left which I will use and then move over to the weekly.
Hi im also in the UK, I've ordered online from a pharmacy, was the private Dr able to prescribe through NHS or u pay for each? Each pen is £57 so it's a lot when it will only last a week. Wonder if I could get on NHS as my bmi is very high after 4kids. Also I'm on day 2 an havent found my hunger has gone down, does it take time? I'm confused
Any updates?
Good Luck with everything.
Thank you!

all respect to you and best of luck on your journey
Awesome! Seeing them live this September!
@@theXchange aww if its your 1st time seeing them live your gonna luv it ...i seen them last year live in London ( im from UK) it was surreal ...enjoy my fellow gunner
Good job
im confused is this a daily shot or a weekly shot I've seen both.. can you help me, I'm scared to start it because the packaging says weekly but I read daily so I'm so confused
Hi there!! Happy to help. Saxenda is a once, daily injection. The dosage amount steps up on a weekly basis for a period of 4 weeks at which point the max dosage amount is reached. Once reached, the max dose will continue to be administered on a daily basis but can be adjusted if necessary based on your continued discussion with your doctor. Other medications in this class of drugs are administered on a once weekly basis. Wegovy, for example, is one such drug. Does this help? Happy to answer anything further!
What if somebody really does not eat much (me), half of a carrot is my breakfast no joke... For lunch I eat the same and for dinner I eat a mushroom with some vitamin supply. No sugar at all, I only drink water now for 2 years. My doctor gave me saxenda as well tho I know eat much less. Sometimes I eat breakfast (half one single carrot) in dinner time etc... And I am still unable to lose weight, unfortunetly not even with saxenda :(
My blood tests are showing that I mostly miss several stuff I need, but thankfully because of the vitamin supplies I take it is getting solved. And I weight 120 kg right now, which is stable as hell. Once I was incredibly curious and I ate a pizza the whole day as it is a much higher calorie intake than what I usually take and I did not gain weight and nor lose. Doctor says that my endocrym system is pretty much f**ked up as literal hell. Should I further take saxenda? Will it ever help me? If no, anny suggestions? (Eating more is not an option, I don't have enough money to eat enough, so please don't suggest me this)
I’m honestly not quite sure how to answer this. I’m not a medical professional or dietitian. It seems to me you don’t have enough calorie intake that your body depends on fat to get what it needs to make it through each day. Where do you live such that you’re unable to increase your food intake? Are there any food pantry near that can assist?
Are you doing injections daily by .6 increases. or once a week .6 increases
Weekly increases…
When u reach the 3ml will u inject the whole 3ml pen each day. How does that work
Hi. Not the whole pen. You'd probably not feel well if someone injected the entire pen at once. Check out my Week1/Week2 video where I talk about the pen. In short, the pen has a dial. The dial is turned until the dose you're on appears in the window. Insert the needle, then depress the button and hold for a count of 6 seconds. You can also check it out here! www.saxenda.com/about-saxenda/how-to-use-the-pen.html
There a 6 mg in 1 ml.
You reach 3 mg not 3 ml 😅
And the pen is 3 mls with 6 mg in each ml
When you reach the max dose ( 3 mg ) you will be injecting 0.5 ml not 3 ml !
i started saxenda this week and im doing 0.6 and dont feel any difference do u feel difference when u increase the dosage
you likely will. give the medicine time to get into your system
I'm on day 2 an also feel no difference if anything I'm having hunger pains I've not had before, has yours improved?
@@twinklestar94 i started 1.8 today i still feel hunger but i dont feel eating something unhealthy to get full im also on low calories diet
Are there any long term negative side effects from your experience using this drug?
If you reach your weight goal, will you be dependent on this drug for the rest of your life to maintain weight?
I’d recommend going to saxenda.com to read up on the listed side effects. Persistent use of the drug is likely to vary person to person dependent on the severity of their obesity and more importantly, what the doctor recommends. For me personally, I intend to reach my goal weight, and get off the drug. Keeping the weight off will require lifestyle changes in continued portion control, calorie intake control, and exercise
Hi kris can I ask if you are still using Saxenda? I am on week 4, haven't been on the scales yet, have dr appointment this week. I am on it because I have Addisons disease so I am on steroids which make you gain so so much weight (9kg in first 4 weeks the I refused to go on scales ) , if I dont take them I will die!! catch 22 so all my drs/specialists met together , for my mental health re gaining so much weight so quickly, and suggested Saxenda. I feel a bit of weight loss, hoping it is not just my imagination, I start the highest dose the Thursday. ps. I didn't have a food issue, but now I find I can bareley ear thank you
Hello! I stopped taking Saxenda months ago. For me, I decided to stop because of the lack of understanding of any impact to health after long term use. I’m happy to answer any questions though!!
did you find it worked? and any health issues you acquired ? thanks for replying@@theXchange
also the cost here in Australia is crazy $387AUD every 4 weeks, dr thought it would be $200. My private health insurance gives me.....are you ready???? $50 per calender year to the day , don't know why they even bother lol @@theXchange
I tried contrave no results, I’m now on saxenda week 2 and no weight loss, no side effects, nothing. Very disappointed 😔
keep going. Saxenda measures success by week 16 with a percentage weight loss of 4% or greater
I’m on day 10 and idk whats wrong but i have no Side effect or any weight loss at all. I mean like nothing changed. I still feel pretty hungry.
Perhaps it will change as you follow the recommended schedule for increasing the dosage?
@@theXchange I increased dosage to 1.2 after a week of using 0.6. I was hoping that would change something but nope. 3rd day of 1.2 and still Nothing. Having no Side effect is interesting aswell
You might need semaglutide. Liraglutide doesn’t work for everyone. I’m on Saxenda, I’m a little nauseated like sea sick but I can still eat a sandwich whenever I want. Both sides. I don’t understand these people who only eat half of their food. I still want seconds and thirds.
After 3 weeks I am feeling so ill all the time...I think that I will stop using it
Do what’s best for you. You can always ask your doctor about trying a different medication.
Are you starting your third pen in this video?
Once you reach the full dose, each pen will last approximately 6 days
I started my first week at 0.6 mg. Second week at 1.2 mg. Third week at 1.8 mg, and fourth week at 2.4 mg. 5th and final week 3.0 mg. Each pen contains 3 ml of liquid medicine
Thank you. Love your videos. 😁
Only got one pen. now its not available
That’s a bummer. I actually stopped taking it.
So you’re eating less and going to the gym and you’ve lost 8lbs…why are you on injections? Being fat losing 8 lbs in three weeks isn’t a huge deal. I’m not being judgmental I’m just curious. I’m a fat guy and typically lose 5lbs in the first week if I cut down on my food intake. What am I missing here?
prior to injections, weight loss was hard to come by, even with exercise and healthier eating. Propensity to overeat remained as appetite suppression was nonexistent without an aid like Saxenda. There are also other external factors such as other prescriptions whose side effects include weight gain, another inhibition.
This also helps suppress your appetite and boost metabolism .
Your breakfast has at least 150 200 grams of carbs if not more it's not a very good breakfast if you want to diet or loose weight. Just saying brown sugar plus banana there Is so much sugar in it . I'm surprised you loose weight at all
I hear what you’re saying. I’ve been cutting down on bananas and working in other breakfast options. My lunch that follows is usually a nice salad with a variety of vegetables as “toppings” and a protein rich snack mid-afternoon
@@theXchange make sure you get enough protein in your diet from what I hear you don't get enough you should have about 180 200 grams protein a day for a guy your sice . O get for you eating is like for most it needs to be enjoyable . But you body still needs protein . And starting your day with so many carbs will crash you insolin so hard that it will take most of the day to recover . Just a tip
Thank you, Sascha! I appreciate the feedback. I’ve actually cut down on the oatmeal as a result if your earlier comment. I’ll let you know how it goes! Kris
I eat high carb and am loosing weight. Carbs are not the enemy. Highly processed and simple carbs are. Complex Carbohydrates have fiber and are essential, especially with Saxenda which can cause constipation. I eat oatmeal and fruit regularly and have no trouble with losing weight whatsoever. If it works for you don’t let someone else’s opinions change your routine. I also have zero problems with my blood sugar and have reversed pre diabetes eating more healthy carbohydrates and limiting animal products. Again, this is my story and what has worked for me. I’m also very active and don’t eat many refined foods at all.
@@allthings_erio good for you . But yes if you eat 200 grams carbs already in the morning if you loose weight well done but it's not good for weight loss to eat this amount of carbs for breakfast as I said you spiking your insulin to the unmeasurable and as a result not be able to burn fat. I don't say you shouldn't eat carbs just not early in the morning .. and that's a fact I can send you plenty of links that show it appart from that it's commen sense.
NICE! That dramatic exercise thought (gym, after dinner when things are quiet) etc just welcomes failure. Get a Fitbit and have it alert you to stand up and walk every hour at 10 minutes before the hour. You can have Alexa remind you "WALK" 15 minutes before the hour. 250 steps is only a couple of minutes and gives you two miles per day. No excuses. Plus you want your "energy levels up" in the morning not at night.
Orange juice is not better than limonade, if you want to lose weight.
