I am 52. Was grossly obese. Diabetic, high blood pressure...the works. I'm on my 5th month of Ozempic, at the 1mg dosage currently. I have lost close to 80 lbs. Hope this continues to be the case. I did experience some nausea, constipation for about the first 12 weeks, but that has subsided.
I’ve been on Ozempic for 16 weeks. I’m on 1mg, because the company is backlogged and I am unable to get the 2mg yet. I’ve lost 28lbs in 16weeks, so I think I’m doing pretty good. I only eat one meal a day and barely can stomach that because I have zero appetite.
I’m pre-diabetic. They seemed to have fixed the shortage issue and I’m finally on the 2mg dose. I also utilize the medication by mail program that CVS has and the cost went down dramatically. I’m only paying $40 for a 3 month supply. I’ve lost around 70lbs so far. I’m averaging about 2-3lbs per week.
so you are not diabetic ,you are taking the medicine because you are lazy and selfish,taking the medicine for weight loss isnt right ,doctors are being investagated by the insurance companys,why they are giving these scripts without a history of diabetes,and insurance is not paying anymore without a paper trail history of blood test,a1c,counts
Nice to hear your results...my weight loss took off like crazy on .25 Ozempic. I weighed at my doctor's office 12 days ago. Came in at 253. Diabetic, high sugar, high bp...etc. Today, 12 days later I am 17 pounds down, according to my digital scale. My sugar is way down, my bp is close to normal...and I hope to keep losing. No side effects at .25, either. Just took my 2nd dose Wednesday. Stuff is a miracle worker...at least for now.
Wow this video really hit home with me and not gonna lie, almost shed a tear. Just bc my weight loss journey has been extremely frustrating and I have been hating myself and my body and want to be so much kinder to myself. I took my first dose of Ozempic today! Excited to see what the future holds and your video is a great reminder to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
Hi Ana! You are a real inspiration and look GREAT. The scale finally moved down again. Lost 3 lbs in the last week so I was happy about that...even though 3 lbs in one week is probably too much. But after no movement for 3 months, it was refreshing. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Ana! I am also 43 and looking to feel good again in my clothes. I pray that my weight loss journey is as successful as yours. I really appreciate you sharing your journey and look forward to each video. You are inspiring!
I’m 36 years old and 4’10”. My start weight was 238.8 10 weeks ago. I am now at 208.0. So almost 31 lbs down. I also suffer from an autoimmune disorder and have struggled with weight for a long time now. I was so overweight I was told I could not gain weight while pregnant. So, I stayed 218-220 my entire pregnancy (I’m very proud of that- it was VERY hard to maintain my weight. I had horrible morning sickness and always felt like I was starving since I couldn’t keep anything in my stomach. I’m glad you made this video, I was looking for some idea of where other people are at this point in their journey and everybody’s has been so different. I think you’re doing great! Congrats on your loss thus far and good luck on your future successes!
Thanks for your help. I’m 43, I’m active and enjoy running and weights. I was doing the same, eating healthy and exercise wasn’t working anymore and I was putting on weight that exercise and diet didn’t counteract. I wish I understood that. I think a lot of doctors believe that it’s simply calories in and calories out and I felt so bad because I felt like a failure. I just finished my second week. I haven’t weighed yet this week but I was down 2.5 after the first week. Your videos are immensely helpful. Thanks for being my ozempic buddy :-) you’re doing a great job with being realistic and healthy through this process in a “whole person” sort of way.
Man, my life is very much like yours (minus the military part lol). I packed on a good 30 or more pounds during Covid. Overall just got lazy and bad with food management. I too am 45. I finally made myself step on the scale when my clothes didn’t fit. Wowzer! Same as you, I hadn’t seen that number since my last pregnancy nearly 11 years ago. I am actually starting on Ozempic tonight with my first injection. I was put on Metformin for the first 2 weeks. I’m glad to see you have success with Ozempic. I have tried everything under the sun and I had finally accepted that my body loves to hold on to fat. I have lost about 7 pounds since starting Metformin so I’m anxious to see how Ozempic helps too. I’m here for your journey girl! You look great!
Great video! I'm on my 3rd week of ozempic and no weight loss BUT my glucose numbers are fantastic!!! my morning readings are normally around 150 but now 97-100 yea!!! I will take it!!!! So getting my numbers on point is really important and I know the weight will follow. You just got a new subie-thanks for sharing and I enjoyed the preaching!!! we need it
Thanks Ana! Just about to start my Ozempic treatment. Menopause hit me hard, and been struggling with the weight gain as a result for some time. Your video was uplifting and inspiring. Let's see how this journey goes. I'll be looking for more inspiring videos from you. Many thanks again. x
So happy to hear your fatigue is getting better. I’m a healthcare professional and it is making it very difficult to get through my day. The endo just gave me an RX for b12, hoping it helps. I just took my last 1.0 dose and have the 1.7 for next week, losing at about the same speed as you have (1.35 lbs per week) - given that I have a thyroid that bounces from Hashimoto’s to graves and also lifelong PFOS (and age 60 now) now that is great. A bit too much nausea but I can live with that since I’m never hungry.
i'm about to take my first injection. I'm nervous, but I'm doing it. Been trying to lose weight for 6 years now and nothing i'm doing sticks. I need some help, and i'm thankful my doctor was happy to offer this option! Thank you for your videos!
Hi Ana. You're looking amazing. I had my first Ozempic injection yesterday. The full feeling is quite full on. I love all of your talk about self care/ love etc. We can't give from an empty cup. I'm trying to get better at it. I hope you're having a lovely day. Sending love from Australia. xx ❤
Very inspirational! I’ve been on Ozempic since November as well. I’ve lost 35lbs but it’s definitely stalled and I’m feeling very hungry now. I’m on 1.0. Time to up my dose I guess. That’s for your videos. Very helpful
Ana 🤩 You are my Ozempic Angel 😇 you have saved me from the v unpleasant waves of nausea hitting me…. I followed your recommendation and bought ginger chews today! Relief was instant it refreshed my mouth at once! Thank you!
Thanks Ana, just visit my doctor this morning and I told her how I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 6 months like religiously and the frustration has just reached the top cause I haven’t seen any results. She brought this medication to my attention and that’s how I found your video to educate myself better before making this decision. I greatly appreciate your time and the words of motivation and just giving us an heads up of what to expect with this journey. Soooooo million thanks!
Hi Ana. I'll be 53 in July. I have a disability called Marfan Syndrome and my chronic pain has been getting worse and worse so getting this extra weight that I have been carrying for decades will hopefully help with my joint/arthritis/etc pain. I'm scared of the side effects, especially the nausea. I have the injection but I have been holding off on starting it until I get some edema in my legs down and while I do some more research in terms of lining up some meals, etc. so that I can be as successful as possible. Great job on your success so far. Keep up the great work.
Hey lady when you said you’re about to be 45, I was like whattttt! Ain’t no way she’s even in her 40s yet. I thought you were honestly in your 30s. You look great girl! I will be turning 40 in September. Time flies by man I swear. Great video tho ! Thanks for sharing. I will be starting Ozempic tomorrow:)
You have done a awesome job on your journey . I will be seeing my Dr in a couple weeks to get on the medication . I will be following you , for your motivation ☺️😊 ty
I am on my 4th week of Ozempic 1mg for diabetes and I was just weighed and have lost 26 pounds! In 1 month but also only thing I take in is protein drinks because eating makes me nauseous.
I just started a compounded semaglutide. Some nausea the first couple days, its not too terrible but this is the lowest dose. I did five years of Phentermine and I was just ready to go it alone and try my best to do my best. It was really hard weening off, I had some melt downs emotionally. After about two months I started sleeping like a baby. It took about two years to put all the weight back on. All that "I am better at listening to my body, knowing when I am hungry, I am staying active" was mostly because the drug was doing the work for me. Little by little my old habits came back (and I am an active girl, eat healthy vegetarian) but my portions got a little bigger and I found myself emotionally eating again with life stress. I also started going through menopause, grrrrrr.... I am on this drug because I have had familial hypercholesterolemia, and my cholesterol is back up with the weight. My choices are statins or try this. So I am trying it, what I hate is that no matter how hard I try I can't seem to do it on my own. I am one of those people who never feels "full" until my stomach can't hold anymore food. Hunger gives me anxiety like you wouldn't believe. I am hoping this works and I can just try harder when it is time to get off of it. I am going to switch from running to walking and include some yoga, aging bodies need a lot more stretching and a lot less bouncing.
I’ve lost 22 pounds in about two months. Well, I was fasting before that and lost 6 of those. I’m taking .5; the .25 didn’t work enough. I was my heaviest ever. Normally weighed between 105-125 pounds. I’m at 136, want to get to 110-115. Hate the side effects! I was down to 98 pounds on my former seizure medicine.
Are you taking this for weight loss? 98 lbs, you sound like you have body issues this weight you are trying to achieve is ridiculous unless your 4’5’ tall.
Ana, you are looking fantastic. I see such a difference in not only your appearance but also your videos are really happening. BTW - you looked great from video one, but I totally get why you wanted to get hold of your health. Same for me…. I don’t even admit to my best friend (aka husband) what I weigh and he never asks so that’s a plus. I was slightly out of control pre-shut downs, but lost my sense of control during the last 2 years. I get it. I follow you here and consider your journey and loss thus far encouraging. I’m on week 3 and doing pretty good (10 lbs down, 40 to go 🤞🏼) For all on Ozempic (or Wegovy), not all of us will change our ways, lose excess weight, and suddenly walk out of a time machine and look like ourselves when we were in our 20’s. I know I’ll never be 20 again, but hope to look better at the age I am (over 40 also). This isn’t a shot of the fountain of youth - it’s a tool to help. It won’t help all, but it helps many. Have reasonable expectations and try hard not to compare yourself too much to others. See others who did or are doing well as inspirations, but not to set yourself up for failures because you don’t compare. None of this is one size fits all. Be kind to yourselves and take baby steps rather than HUGE leaps because when it comes down to it, it really takes a life change to make it stick. Facts!
I’m 70.I had surgery last June because I had blood clots in my lungs.I am still recovering from 10 hr surgery and 2 month stay in hospital .I want to lose 50 pounds to feel healthy and be able to move more easily.I can only walk a short distance as I am still on oxygen for now.Just started Ozempic two weeks ago.Help.🥺
I have 100 to loose and started on Wegovy. After 6 weeks could not find it anywhere so my doctor switched to Ozempic as I am also pre diabetic. My insurance approved then 4 weeks later refused to approve any more. I have been on my own since. Loosing about 1 pound every 2 weeks. But thankfully still going down.
I’m so glad you said that about how people get worried because they don’t lose weight and you said it’s because you’re on the 3rd week on .25. I just took my 3rd shot and I’m on .25. I haven’t weighed since I started or before I started but have an idea of what I probably weighed. I feel like maybe I have lost 5 lbs. but I’m not sure. I can tell when I shower and my clothes are fitting better. I am only 5’3” so a little weight feels and looks like a lot. When I gain weight even if it is only 5 lbs looks like a lot more just because I’m not very tall. I can’t wait to bump up the dose because I do find myself kinda hungry at times. I can go all day without eating and don’t even think about food but by dinner time I’m kind of hungry. I also find that I feel like I could take it or leave it a lot on this.
Could you explain a little more what you mean when you "squeeze a little more" out of your pen when you are at your top dosage."? You just mentioned that in your video and I don't understand what that means and how you do it. Thanks for responding to my question. I'm going through every single one of your videos, and am planning to start Ozempic at the beginning of 2024 (January) so you really helped me get my survival kit ready (water bottle, ginger chews, laxatives, etc.) and I'm open to all the knowledge out there to make this work for me. Thank you again for your wonderful, informative videos!
I just finished my first week and i lost 3lbs. I do feel sick at times, but i try to have something small like a boiled egg or toast and it seems to help. I am in my 60's and i have tried everything to lose weight and so far this is the only thing that has worked for me. I have to lose 35lbs before i can have my back surgery. I will take the nauseous if it can keep losing 3lbs a week.
Thanks this gave me some encouragement I have been on it for 2 months and no weight loss but I have been on 1.0 dosage for a month only so being hopeful.

u are looking amazing ! i started 3 weeks ago i’m down 20 pounds today . i lost a whole week of workouts visiting grand kids or i would have lost more being in the gym .
@@Lannie74 i am on .25 i keep my calorie intake at 1200 calories a day and i do 45 mins of cardio and then i do free weights for toning. i also drink tons of water when i get tired of plain water i will drink perrier water the carbonation fills me up too. i’m down 25 pounds now as of today i go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week working my butt off .
@@ajcrum3689 that is INCREDIBLE!!! You have been working hard it seems. I have not been working hard but I don’t eat much at all and haven’t been drinking enough water but I will start trying to drink more. It made me nauseous for some reason when I drank a lot
I'll be 45 in December 😮 also. I just started my 1mg injection. I'm trying to be patient with myself. But, it's like my body just wants to stay this way😢
Weight is always stuck to me like glue. I need a knee replacement so bad my knee is crooked. The Dr won't do it unless I lose 30lbs. It's been 2months and I list 3 lbs it's near impossible. My knee is Throwing my back out and hip I'm in so much pain. My primary wanted to put me on ozempic but since I'm not diabetic my insurance won't pay for it and since I list my husband to covid 2 years ago I can't afford it. Anyone know how I could get this for free
Hi Ana. I just started ozempic about 3 weeks ago. I’m taking .50 dose. I was just worried that I wasn’t getting enough nutrients because my appetite is 0! Started taking protein shakes to supplement meals. Ive lost 5 lbs already. I’m not trying to lose weight but it sure is working! Also J’s is my fav when we visit Maine, along with Rosie’s and the great lost bear. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks and good job!!!
I’m so happy to have come across your videos. I have Hashimoto’s and this encouraged me to follow up with my endocrinologist about this. Thanks for sharing
I had my follow-up visit with my Medical Weight Loss provider. I lost 6 pounds in 3.5 weeks. I wish it was more, but she was super happy about it and said I'm "right on track". She's keeping me at the .25 for now, since I'm doing so well and still having some of the side effects. My weight loss is so weird... I haven't had any stalls, yet... I gain weight and then lose... And then gain, and then lose. It's just a few pounds here and there - and the overall trend is downward - but it's so irritating!
I’m on my 2nd month and I’m very sad at times I’m I’m 35 and 5’4 weight is 192 pounds I’ve never been this BIG in my entire life so yea it’s very depressing I’m hoping this medication REALLY works for me 😌 LOVE ALL & God bless 🫶🏾😘
Just wanting to know how long before you started loosing weight I’m at my second week of 1, I’ve done .25 & .5 now so I’m on my 9th week and havnt Lost anything
@@trustaralwayz just took my 2nd shot at 1mg. I lost zero for 8 weeks, 4 weeks in .25 and 4 on .5. Even though I definitely ate less. Since I went up to 1mg, I’m losing FINALLY. I lost 4 lbs the first week on 1 mg. I had to go up slowly because the side effects are hitting me hard. I did research on the Ozempic site and it states that if you lose 5% on the therapeutic dose (1mg) after 12 weeks it is working. If you don’t, you should try something else.
Help. I am on this since July 2022 I am still on 1mg and the Doctor has not uped my dose yet even though I have asked about this but she said this the dose I should be on. To be honest I don't think she knows much about it. I also have side effects feeling sick and wind which is very uncomfortable I also have not lose much weight about 10lbs so far. Having said this I have not much of an appetite. I am a diabetic that's why I am on this. I am over 50.
I am just wondering what’s the difference between 0.5 and 1.0 mg of ozempic will it lower my blood sugar more or does it control it better or is it the same as 0.5 ?
I’m so happy for you and sending you nothing but positive light. Unfortunately I’ve been on the pen for 5 weeks and loss 1lb (I think that was due to the gym) and my hunger hasn’t subsided one bit😕.
Hey Queen, I been on it for two weeks 0.25 and it’s has made me not eat have to,push myself to eat, and I work out a lot but always worked out that’s why my doctor wanted me to try this because I eat right, workout and strength train and still at 213; started at 243 in 2019, but you would think I would be in the onederland by now nope! Hopefully this helps me, but don’t get discouraged I only have lost 3 pounds in two weeks, but I think it’s the dosage hopefully once I got up a see a change
@@DukesApparrel hi my love I got off of that medication like two months in. I saw no weight loss and I was beginning to become very sick meaning rapid heartbeats. I ended up in the er and I discontinued the medicine. Goodluck!

Hi, I’m 43. I have hypothyroidism and my weight has been a struggle for the past few years. I have revered my numbers which puts me in a healthy category. I do exercise 3x a week and track my macros with my fitness pal. Unfortunately, the numbers on the scale doesn’t validate my hard work exercising. I would like to loose about 40lbs. I have my doctors appointment next Tuesday for my endocrinologist and ask about wegovy injections. I did call a weight loss facility and they have semaglutide injections available stating at very low dose. I’m not sure if that’s the same medication. I hope my insurance will cover the medication. I currently live in Florida and I’m hearing there’s a shortage of wegovy supply. You look great. Thank you for the informative information.
Hi Ana. Do you have any plans to move up to the full 2.4 mg dose? Is it because you would need another ozempic pen to do that , that you haven’t done it yet?
@@AnaMcKenna Are you doing it with ozempic still? When you moved up doses, did you find the effects wore off by the time you were due to increase? They wear off very quickly for me and I’m worried 2,4 mg will wear off too. Same thing happened with saxenda.
I started Ozempic Saturday. I have gained about 25 pounds. I have been very active but once I entered my 44 my hormones got out of wack. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I lost about 10 pounds but got stuck. My problem is that my AC1 is at 6.1 , pre-diabetic. Never had issue with that. My doctor told me this will help me lower my blood sugar. But do you feel tired?. I just did one time and feeling very tired. I have been able to go to gym but im pushing it . Does the tiredness goes away?. 🤔 I just turned 48 years.
I am on the same boat with you. I’ve been on it since October & I have only lost 3 lbs. It’s very frustrating cause I see all these people on social media like “week two and I’ve lost 15 lbs” I’m like .. HOWWW
Are you injecting correctly? Make sure you are leaving the needle in your skin until the dial on your pen turns back to zero, AND THEN count at least six seconds before taking the needle away.
If you have some left in your pen can you buy the needles separate? I’ve used 0.5 for 4 weeks and 1.0 for one week and doctor said 1.0 next week. I think there will be lots left in the pen?
Does anyone know of something we can take so we don’t feel sick ? I am going to the Dr. This Friday and want to make sure I have all info noted. Thanks.
I am 52. Was grossly obese. Diabetic, high blood pressure...the works. I'm on my 5th month of Ozempic, at the 1mg dosage currently. I have lost close to 80 lbs. Hope this continues to be the case. I did experience some nausea, constipation for about the first 12 weeks, but that has subsided.
I’ve been on Ozempic for 16 weeks. I’m on 1mg, because the company is backlogged and I am unable to get the 2mg yet. I’ve lost 28lbs in 16weeks, so I think I’m doing pretty good. I only eat one meal a day and barely can stomach that because I have zero appetite.
I'm worried about this, I got my first pen, with 3 refills, not sure where these shortages are. Is it a location thing?
@@talulatree5297 my wife is about to get on it and they say request a refill two weeks before you’re out.
are you diabetic
I’m pre-diabetic. They seemed to have fixed the shortage issue and I’m finally on the 2mg dose. I also utilize the medication by mail program that CVS has and the cost went down dramatically. I’m only paying $40 for a 3 month supply. I’ve lost around 70lbs so far. I’m averaging about 2-3lbs per week.
so you are not diabetic ,you are taking the medicine because you are lazy and selfish,taking the medicine for weight loss isnt right ,doctors are being investagated by the insurance companys,why they are giving these scripts without a history of diabetes,and insurance is not paying anymore without a paper trail history of blood test,a1c,counts
Nice to hear your results...my weight loss took off like crazy on .25 Ozempic. I weighed at my doctor's office 12 days ago. Came in at 253. Diabetic, high sugar, high bp...etc. Today, 12 days later I am 17 pounds down, according to my digital scale. My sugar is way down, my bp is close to normal...and I hope to keep losing. No side effects at .25, either. Just took my 2nd dose Wednesday. Stuff is a miracle worker...at least for now.
Wow 17 pounds down for 12 days...that is awesome, i'm very happy for you. I will be starting on sunday, and i'm here to see if it really helps.
@@9ela I am at 221 now...32 pounds down.
@@randymiller4574 I am so happy for you!! Keep going, i hope it will help me too. I'm proud of you my friend!
Nice!!!!!!!!!
I’m just about to take my second dose tomorrow. What type of foods do you feel help most?
Wow this video really hit home with me and not gonna lie, almost shed a tear. Just bc my weight loss journey has been extremely frustrating and I have been hating myself and my body and want to be so much kinder to myself. I took my first dose of Ozempic today! Excited to see what the future holds and your video is a great reminder to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
You got this! ❤️
You are beautiful and loved!
Just got my first dose today! Any updates you can share? Hope it was successful!!
Hi Ana! You are a real inspiration and look GREAT. The scale finally moved down again. Lost 3 lbs in the last week so I was happy about that...even though 3 lbs in one week is probably too much. But after no movement for 3 months, it was refreshing. Keep up the good work!
Yay Randy! Thank you! You are staying the course!
@@AnaMcKenna how do you add the .4 dose? I have the new ozempic dose of 2.0 but I will need to increase it to the wegovy dose
Thanks Ana! I am also 43 and looking to feel good again in my clothes. I pray that my weight loss journey is as successful as yours. I really appreciate you sharing your journey and look forward to each video. You are inspiring!
Thank you! So happy you’re here ❤️
I’m 36 years old and 4’10”. My start weight was 238.8 10 weeks ago. I am now at 208.0. So almost 31 lbs down. I also suffer from an autoimmune disorder and have struggled with weight for a long time now. I was so overweight I was told I could not gain weight while pregnant. So, I stayed 218-220 my entire pregnancy (I’m very proud of that- it was VERY hard to maintain my weight. I had horrible morning sickness and always felt like I was starving since I couldn’t keep anything in my stomach. I’m glad you made this video, I was looking for some idea of where other people are at this point in their journey and everybody’s has been so different. I think you’re doing great! Congrats on your loss thus far and good luck on your future successes!
Awesome testimony.
How long did it take you to lose, I’m a beginner and get my prescription soon. Just asking otf curiosity
Thanks for your help. I’m 43, I’m active and enjoy running and weights. I was doing the same, eating healthy and exercise wasn’t working anymore and I was putting on weight that exercise and diet didn’t counteract. I wish I understood that. I think a lot of doctors believe that it’s simply calories in and calories out and I felt so bad because I felt like a failure. I just finished my second week. I haven’t weighed yet this week but I was down 2.5 after the first week. Your videos are immensely helpful. Thanks for being my ozempic buddy :-) you’re doing a great job with being realistic and healthy through this process in a “whole person” sort of way.
Thank you so much Pauley! I was so
Frustrated! Glad you find them helpful and love having you as a buddy! 😁
Wait til your 60
Man, my life is very much like yours (minus the military part lol). I packed on a good 30 or more pounds during Covid. Overall just got lazy and bad with food management. I too am 45. I finally made myself step on the scale when my clothes didn’t fit. Wowzer! Same as you, I hadn’t seen that number since my last pregnancy nearly 11 years ago. I am actually starting on Ozempic tonight with my first injection. I was put on Metformin for the first 2 weeks. I’m glad to see you have success with Ozempic. I have tried everything under the sun and I had finally accepted that my body loves to hold on to fat. I have lost about 7 pounds since starting Metformin so I’m anxious to see how Ozempic helps too. I’m here for your journey girl! You look great!
Thank you Shannon! Keep us all in the loop with your journey- we have an awesome community here!
Great video! I'm on my 3rd week of ozempic and no weight loss BUT my glucose numbers are fantastic!!! my morning readings are normally around 150 but now 97-100 yea!!! I will take it!!!! So getting my numbers on point is really important and I know the weight will follow. You just got a new subie-thanks for sharing and I enjoyed the preaching!!! we need it
Amazing!!!!
Great video, Ana. I’ve worked in the fitness industry for 35 years and like fitness, weight loss is a marathon and not a race.
Thanks Ana! Just about to start my Ozempic treatment. Menopause hit me hard, and been struggling with the weight gain as a result for some time. Your video was uplifting and inspiring. Let's see how this journey goes. I'll be looking for more inspiring videos from you. Many thanks again. x
Thank you for being here! ❤️
You are such a motivation to me! 44 years old and I have 35 pounds to lose thanks to stupid Covid and a lack of self control.
Come on Tanya, we got this!
Took my first dose today! I'm excited, thank you for the video
Thank you. I felt this entire video as a person with an autoimmune disease
It’s so hard I know ❤️
I just started ozempic today. Don’t feel a difference yet. I’m 235 hoping to reach my goal of 150
So happy to hear your fatigue is getting better. I’m a healthcare professional and it is making it very difficult to get through my day. The endo just gave me an RX for b12, hoping it helps. I just took my last 1.0 dose and have the 1.7 for next week, losing at about the same speed as you have (1.35 lbs per week) - given that I have a thyroid that bounces from Hashimoto’s to graves and also lifelong PFOS (and age 60 now) now that is great. A bit too much nausea but I can live with that since I’m never hungry.
Great video im a 52 year old interstate truck driver just starting this medication 👍👍🇭🇲🇭🇲
Make sure to keep your blood glucose between 90 and 110. Driving or using machinery can be a problem if you drop below 70 and faint.-
@@bobboscarato1313 thanks mate will do 👍🇭🇲
Yay!
Congratulations Ana! You're doing so great and are an inspiration! Keep up the great work!💖🌈
One day at a time- all of us together!
🎉 way to go. Definitely appreciate the nice video explaining what happened. Keep up the great work and God bless you
Thank you!!!
i'm about to take my first injection. I'm nervous, but I'm doing it. Been trying to lose weight for 6 years now and nothing i'm doing sticks. I need some help, and i'm thankful my doctor was happy to offer this option! Thank you for your videos!
Hi candi. Did you go to your regular doctor to get the injection?
Hi Ana. You're looking amazing. I had my first Ozempic injection yesterday. The full feeling is quite full on. I love all of your talk about self care/ love etc. We can't give from an empty cup. I'm trying to get better at it. I hope you're having a lovely day. Sending love from Australia. xx ❤
Hi there any updates how is it going may I ask how much you've lost I'm going to start mine soon!
Very inspirational!
I’ve been on Ozempic since November as well. I’ve lost 35lbs but it’s definitely stalled and I’m feeling very hungry now. I’m on 1.0. Time to up my dose I guess.
That’s for your videos. Very helpful
I'm on 1 mg. for 2 months; still 240 lbs.; I'm 85.- hard to do much walking or exercise!
Hang in there!
Ana the ozempic you go
Ana 🤩 You are my Ozempic Angel 😇 you have saved me from the v unpleasant waves of nausea hitting me…. I followed your recommendation and bought ginger chews today! Relief was instant it refreshed my mouth at once!
Thank you!
Thanks Ana, just visit my doctor this morning and I told her how I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 6 months like religiously and the frustration has just reached the top cause I haven’t seen any results. She brought this medication to my attention and that’s how I found your video to educate myself better before making this decision. I greatly appreciate your time and the words of motivation and just giving us an heads up of what to expect with this journey. Soooooo million thanks!
Thank you so much, @taniacancel7350!
Love your insight. I hope this video helps everyone that watches it. Thank you so much! Never give up!
Hi Ana. I'll be 53 in July. I have a disability called Marfan Syndrome and my chronic pain has been getting worse and worse so getting this extra weight that I have been carrying for decades will hopefully help with my joint/arthritis/etc pain. I'm scared of the side effects, especially the nausea. I have the injection but I have been holding off on starting it until I get some edema in my legs down and while I do some more research in terms of lining up some meals, etc. so that I can be as successful as possible. Great job on your success so far. Keep up the great work.
Makes sense! Glad you're here!
I have been on Ozempic for seven weeks. Thanks for the video. I subscribed. 😁

I am on my 4th week of Ozempic 1mg for diabetes and I was just weighed and have lost 26 pounds! In 1 month but also only thing I take in is protein drinks because eating makes me nauseous.
Absolutely incredible Karen!
I just started a compounded semaglutide. Some nausea the first couple days, its not too terrible but this is the lowest dose. I did five years of Phentermine and I was just ready to go it alone and try my best to do my best. It was really hard weening off, I had some melt downs emotionally. After about two months I started sleeping like a baby. It took about two years to put all the weight back on. All that "I am better at listening to my body, knowing when I am hungry, I am staying active" was mostly because the drug was doing the work for me. Little by little my old habits came back (and I am an active girl, eat healthy vegetarian) but my portions got a little bigger and I found myself emotionally eating again with life stress. I also started going through menopause, grrrrrr....
I am on this drug because I have had familial hypercholesterolemia, and my cholesterol is back up with the weight. My choices are statins or try this. So I am trying it, what I hate is that no matter how hard I try I can't seem to do it on my own. I am one of those people who never feels "full" until my stomach can't hold anymore food. Hunger gives me anxiety like you wouldn't believe.
I am hoping this works and I can just try harder when it is time to get off of it.
I am going to switch from running to walking and include some yoga, aging bodies need a lot more stretching and a lot less bouncing.
You totally got this. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I know it can be hard to be vulnerable. We are all here for you.
I’ve lost 22 pounds in about two months. Well, I was fasting before that and lost 6 of those. I’m taking .5; the .25 didn’t work enough. I was my heaviest ever. Normally weighed between 105-125 pounds. I’m at 136, want to get to 110-115. Hate the side effects! I was down to 98 pounds on my former seizure medicine.
Are you taking this for weight loss? 98 lbs, you sound like you have body issues this weight you are trying to achieve is ridiculous unless your 4’5’ tall.
Ana, you are looking fantastic. I see such a difference in not only your appearance but also your videos are really happening. BTW - you looked great from video one, but I totally get why you wanted to get hold of your health.
Same for me…. I don’t even admit to my best friend (aka husband) what I weigh and he never asks so that’s a plus. I was slightly out of control pre-shut downs, but lost my sense of control during the last 2 years. I get it.
I follow you here and consider your journey and loss thus far encouraging. I’m on week 3 and doing pretty good (10 lbs down, 40 to go 🤞🏼)
For all on Ozempic (or Wegovy), not all of us will change our ways, lose excess weight, and suddenly walk out of a time machine and look like ourselves when we were in our 20’s. I know I’ll never be 20 again, but hope to look better at the age I am (over 40 also). This isn’t a shot of the fountain of youth - it’s a tool to help. It won’t help all, but it helps many. Have reasonable expectations and try hard not to compare yourself too much to others. See others who did or are doing well as inspirations, but not to set yourself up for failures because you don’t compare. None of this is one size fits all. Be kind to yourselves and take baby steps rather than HUGE leaps because when it comes down to it, it really takes a life change to make it stick. Facts!
Spot on! And huge thank you! ❤️
I’m 70.I had surgery last June because I had blood clots in my lungs.I am still recovering from 10 hr surgery and 2 month stay in hospital .I want to lose 50 pounds to feel healthy and be able to move more easily.I can only walk a short distance as I am still on oxygen for now.Just started Ozempic two weeks ago.Help.🥺
Watch the videos and stay the course. You got this!
I have 100 to loose and started on Wegovy. After 6 weeks could not find it anywhere so my doctor switched to Ozempic as I am also pre diabetic. My insurance approved then 4 weeks later refused to approve any more. I have been on my own since. Loosing about 1 pound every 2 weeks. But thankfully still going down.
YOU CAN DO IT
I’m so glad you said that about how people get worried because they don’t lose weight and you said it’s because you’re on the 3rd week on .25. I just took my 3rd shot and I’m on .25. I haven’t weighed since I started or before I started but have an idea of what I probably weighed. I feel like maybe I have lost 5 lbs. but I’m not sure. I can tell when I shower and my clothes are fitting better. I am only 5’3” so a little weight feels and looks like a lot. When I gain weight even if it is only 5 lbs looks like a lot more just because I’m not very tall. I can’t wait to bump up the dose because I do find myself kinda hungry at times. I can go all day without eating and don’t even think about food but by dinner time I’m kind of hungry. I also find that I feel like I could take it or leave it a lot on this.
So excited for you Amy!
Could you explain a little more what you mean when you "squeeze a little more" out of your pen when you are at your top dosage."? You just mentioned that in your video and I don't understand what that means and how you do it. Thanks for responding to my question. I'm going through every single one of your videos, and am planning to start Ozempic at the beginning of 2024 (January) so you really helped me get my survival kit ready (water bottle, ginger chews, laxatives, etc.) and I'm open to all the knowledge out there to make this work for me. Thank you again for your wonderful, informative videos!
I just finished my first week and i lost 3lbs. I do feel sick at times, but i try to have something small like a boiled egg or toast and it seems to help. I am in my 60's and i have tried everything to lose weight and so far this is the only thing that has worked for me. I have to lose 35lbs before i can have my back surgery. I will take the nauseous if it can keep losing 3lbs a week.
At age 60 with obesity HBP on ozempic for 3 months with a weight loss of 15
Pounds. Taking it slow. Guess I’m on my way😅😊
You are! You got this!
Thanks this gave me some encouragement I have been on it for 2 months and no weight loss but I have been on 1.0 dosage for a month only so being hopeful.
Stay the course!
This is sooooo encouraging ♥️
You get fatigue cause poop in sitting in there you need to clean it out here and there.also electrolytes are very important.

Amazing! Thank you AJ!

@@ajcrum3689 that is INCREDIBLE!!! You have been working hard it seems. I have not been working hard but I don’t eat much at all and haven’t been drinking enough water but I will start trying to drink more. It made me nauseous for some reason when I drank a lot
I'll be 45 in December 😮 also. I just started my 1mg injection. I'm trying to be patient with myself. But, it's like my body just wants to stay this way😢
Stay the course!!! You got this!
Weight is always stuck to me like glue. I need a knee replacement so bad my knee is crooked. The Dr won't do it unless I lose 30lbs. It's been 2months and I list 3 lbs it's near impossible. My knee is Throwing my back out and hip I'm in so much pain. My primary wanted to put me on ozempic but since I'm not diabetic my insurance won't pay for it and since I list my husband to covid 2 years ago I can't afford it. Anyone know how I could get this for free
Hi Ana. I just started ozempic about 3 weeks ago. I’m taking .50 dose. I was just worried that I wasn’t getting enough nutrients because my appetite is 0! Started taking protein shakes to supplement meals. Ive lost 5 lbs already. I’m not trying to lose weight but it sure is working! Also J’s is my fav when we visit Maine, along with Rosie’s and the great lost bear. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks and good job!!!
I’m so happy to have come across your videos. I have Hashimoto’s and this encouraged me to follow up with my endocrinologist about this. Thanks for sharing
Enjoy them! Thank you for being here!
I had my follow-up visit with my Medical Weight Loss provider. I lost 6 pounds in 3.5 weeks. I wish it was more, but she was super happy about it and said I'm "right on track". She's keeping me at the .25 for now, since I'm doing so well and still having some of the side effects. My weight loss is so weird... I haven't had any stalls, yet... I gain weight and then lose... And then gain, and then lose. It's just a few pounds here and there - and the overall trend is downward - but it's so irritating!
Totally get it, nit this is EXACTLY how my loss has been. You are doing awesome! Have you gone through my videos yet? I talk about this quite a bit!
Awesome video‼️You are very inspirational👋👋‼️
Thank you so much David!
Thanks for sharing. Much needed with new medicine.
You got this Donnie!
I’m on my 2nd month and I’m very sad at times I’m I’m 35 and 5’4 weight is 192 pounds I’ve never been this BIG in my entire life so yea it’s very depressing I’m hoping this medication REALLY works for me 😌 LOVE ALL & God bless 🫶🏾😘
Wonderful video listening to you, I needed it! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Just wanting to know how long before you started loosing weight I’m at my second week of 1, I’ve done .25 & .5 now so I’m on my 9th week and havnt
Lost anything
I was wondering the same, I’ve been on 0.5 for about 3 months haven’t lost a pound
Have you lost anything yet?
@@trustaralwayz just took my 2nd shot at 1mg. I lost zero for 8 weeks, 4 weeks in .25 and 4 on .5. Even though I definitely ate less. Since I went up to 1mg, I’m losing FINALLY. I lost 4 lbs the first week on 1 mg. I had to go up slowly because the side effects are hitting me hard. I did research on the Ozempic site and it states that if you lose 5% on the therapeutic dose (1mg) after 12 weeks it is working. If you don’t, you should try something else.
looks awsome,keep motivating us .Thanks
❤ Thank you so very much for your service ❤
How long before you started to lose the first few pounds
Hi Ana, thanks for another great video!!! Weight in tomorrow for me. Wish me luck!!!
How’d you do?
Help. I am on this since July 2022 I am still on 1mg and the Doctor has not uped my dose yet even though I have asked about this but she said this the dose I should be on. To be honest I don't think she knows much about it. I also have side effects feeling sick and wind which is very uncomfortable I also have not lose much weight about 10lbs so far. Having said this I have not much of an appetite. I am a diabetic that's why I am on this. I am over 50.
I'm 5'9 too. I totally understand weighing full term pregnancy weight and some.
I lost 30 pounds in 3 1/2 months
Amazing!!!!!
Wow 🎉❤
I love your videos ! will you do what I eat in a day video? I run out of ideas on what to eat!
Yes!
That will be awesome!
How long did it take her? I don’t have time to watch & listen to this whole video!
23 weeks. 👍
@@Chelsea_C thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I went from 250 pounds to 223 pounds in three months
WOW!!!
I am just wondering what’s the difference between 0.5 and 1.0 mg of ozempic will it lower my blood sugar more or does it control it better or is it the same as 0.5 ?
Oh I’m not sure, def ask your dr!
did she say how long it took her? i couldn't listen to all of it, i just want the information
I have no diabetes but overweight..
Can i use it?
I use it, I am not diabetic
Good to u se u back on CZcams
Congrats. I just started on ozempic last week.
Yay!
Any Ozempic updates?
I’m so happy for you and sending you nothing but positive light. Unfortunately I’ve been on the pen for 5 weeks and loss 1lb (I think that was due to the gym) and my hunger hasn’t subsided one bit😕.
QUEEN! You are still at the very itty bitty beginning! I promise!
Hey Queen, I been on it for two weeks 0.25 and it’s has made me not eat have to,push myself to eat, and I work out a lot but always worked out that’s why my doctor wanted me to try this because I eat right, workout and strength train and still at 213; started at 243 in 2019, but you would think I would be in the onederland by now nope! Hopefully this helps me, but don’t get discouraged I only have lost 3 pounds in two weeks, but I think it’s the dosage hopefully once I got up a see a change
Thank you ladies so much for the motivation and positivity. Goodluck to you both on the weight loss journey. I’ll keep going.
@@Ms_Neffieany updates on your Ozempic weight lose?
@@DukesApparrel hi my love I got off of that medication like two months in. I saw no weight loss and I was beginning to become very sick meaning rapid heartbeats. I ended up in the er and I discontinued the medicine. Goodluck!

Thank you so much, @cristinaplanzo324!

Hi, I’m 43. I have hypothyroidism and my weight has been a struggle for the past few years. I have revered my numbers which puts me in a healthy category. I do exercise 3x a week and track my macros with my fitness pal. Unfortunately, the numbers on the scale doesn’t validate my hard work exercising. I would like to loose about 40lbs. I have my doctors appointment next Tuesday for my endocrinologist and ask about wegovy injections. I did call a weight loss facility and they have semaglutide injections available stating at very low dose. I’m not sure if that’s the same medication. I hope my insurance will cover the medication. I currently live in Florida and I’m hearing there’s a shortage of wegovy supply. You look great. Thank you for the informative information.
Hi tnx for ur video! Is ozempic only for diabetics peaple?
Hi Ana. Do you have any plans to move up to the full 2.4 mg dose? Is it because you would need another ozempic pen to do that , that you haven’t done it yet?
I’ve arrived!
@@AnaMcKenna Are you doing it with ozempic still? When you moved up doses, did you find the effects wore off by the time you were due to increase? They wear off very quickly for me and I’m worried 2,4 mg will wear off too. Same thing happened with saxenda.
RARE i watch someone to the end of one of these vids about weight loss or anything really.
YOU DON’T ANNOY ME!
😂😂😂. Keep it up!!
I can’t guarantee that will happen forever 🤣🤣🤣
But thank you for being here!
I started Ozempic Saturday. I have gained about 25 pounds. I have been very active but once I entered my 44 my hormones got out of wack. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I lost about 10 pounds but got stuck. My problem is that my AC1 is at 6.1 , pre-diabetic. Never had issue with that. My doctor told me this will help me lower my blood sugar. But do you feel tired?. I just did one time and feeling very tired. I have been able to go to gym but im pushing it . Does the tiredness goes away?. 🤔 I just turned 48 years.
I always feel exhausted when I go up in my dosage but after a few weeks it levels off! You got this!
I’ll be doing more age 40s videos!
Keto, low carb, intermittent fasting. Dr. Jason fung.
Beginning of week 7 here for me. I haven’t lost 1lb 😢 how long does this take?? Currently at a .5 dose for 2 more weeks I believe.
I am on the same boat with you. I’ve been on it since October & I have only lost 3 lbs. It’s very frustrating cause I see all these people on social media like “week two and I’ve lost 15 lbs” I’m like .. HOWWW
Are you injecting correctly? Make sure you are leaving the needle in your skin until the dial on your pen turns back to zero, AND THEN count at least six seconds before taking the needle away.
@@lizbethchavez6256 Exactly!
If you have some left in your pen can you buy the needles separate? I’ve used 0.5 for 4 weeks and 1.0 for one week and doctor said 1.0 next week. I think there will be lots left in the pen?
Eeeek, I’m not sure??
Yes you can buy extra needles. Ask ur pharmacist for the correct sizes. Super cheap on amazon.
@@AnaMcKenna for the little bit u have, did u just use the same needle?
so 30lbs in 6 months., I guess better than nothing.
Been on .25mg for 2 weeks, my doctor is letting me ramp up to .5 instead of waiting another 2 weeks. Have you heard of anyone doing this?
Did u end up doing that ?
Does anyone know of something we can take so we don’t feel sick ?
I am going to the Dr. This Friday and want to make sure I have all info noted. Thanks.
I did a video on this! Check it out!

what about your first week did you lose weight
a few weeks in
