Congrats!🎉

I love your videos, Mindy. I see so much of myself in your story and it really gives me hope after a lifetime of fighting with my body. It’s really rare to see people who address the realities of weight loss online instead of glamorizing the results from a smug “if I can do it so can anyone - just eat less” attitude. I’ve been waiting 84 years for my first Wegovy prescription to be filled (luckily my insurance covers it if the pharmacy can ever get it in stock). And watching you makes me actually think that this time my efforts might actually pay off. Our relationships with our bodies are the longest relationships we will ever have, and it’s hard to feel anything but beaten down when that relationship has been fraught with a lifetime of disappointment, anxiety, abuse, and hatred in both directions. I appreciate you putting yourself out there. Your presence on KZread matters, regardless of how often you can be here. Thank you for attending my TedTalk.

Lol! I appreciate the TedTalk, Amy... it's why I do this! To know that my story has any impact at all is so encouraging to me. Sometimes, it feels like I'm just putting this all out there and talking to myself in the dark.

Howdy fellow Texan! I have been on MJ for 1 year, lost 46#. I finally hit the 100# weight loss goal this week, highest weight was 320# in 2019. Slow weight loss wins the race. We got this friend!

I also do better on Wegovy. Lately I have been having difficulty avoiding sweets. This has been really the first time in 1 1/2 yrs that I’ve wanted sweets and fatty foods and as a result the weight loss has stalled (actually up to pounds). I’m currently back on Wegovy. I’ve read that the weight loss slows after a year. Although I would like to go down another lb, I will be happy to maintain which would be awesome after 50 yrs of yo-yo dieting.

Congratulations on your weight loss journey. So proud of you. I am on monjaro and I am pre diabetic. I’ve gone from 255 to 210 in 7 months. So that’s good but I can still over eat and do have the food noise. At first the side effects were almost debilitating, but the longer I stay on the medication the better it gets. My main complaint is constipation. I supplement with magnesium but it’s still a struggle at times. I’m just happy to finally have something that not only controls my sugar but also helps me lose weight. I’m only 5’3 so I have a long way to reach my goal. You give me hope and encouragement and I find your honesty and humor a great help. Thank you 😊

Thanks, E. My upper body is definitely weaker than my lower body. Decades of carrying around 300+ lbs have given me lower body strength that's kinda crazy. My knees, though... that's another matter. 🤣🤣🤣

This is so interesting, I’m glad you shared the differences that you experienced. I know that when I was on Ozempic for a short period of time, I was very focused, almost as if I was taking ADHD meds (which I do have and take during the week to help focus on my job). Since MJ was added to our formulary, my husband started taking it (prescribed of course) and he has lost about 40 lbs. **But** his mood has changed and his anxiety and crabbiness has seemed to have heightened. To be honest, he won’t be able to take it much longer because our lovely formulary changed yet again, and it won’t cover MJ anymore. For me, you know my health story (which, btw I may do a video on soon) but total weight loss has been 97 lbs and I am officially overweight, 5’10” and 192, and I am okay with where I am. I just need to maintain. I work out about 3 times a week at the gym. I feel as I “can’t” go off the meds but I need to just see what happens. I am spacing out my shots to about 10 days and have a little stockpile in my fridge for now 😅Sorry for the long post!

Wow! The negativity all the way through your work out, though! lol You are moving so much better, though, than you used to. I know so many people have told your THEIR kind of yogurt is good and then its not. Im with you. Please try Dannon light & fit (not the zero sugar one) greek yogurt. I will be honest and tell you that Ive not had the vanilla, but Ive tried most of the rest of them and they are really good! They do have the tartness of yogurt, but its not "sour" like that two good one is or even the zero sugar dannon one is. I think as time goes on, no matter what kind of diet or medication people are on, the weight loss is more at the beginning and it slows significantly after 6 months for most people. Even for people with weight loss surgery, like me, that is true. I feel like the most important takeaway, for your journey so far, is that you feel so much better on the wegovy. Its hard to say about the amount of weight loss because all along you have changed up what you were doing and havent been consistent like you were while on your first wegovy dose. You ate right most of the time, stayed within the same calories and you exercised consistently during that time. Sometimes I just want to say to you to just hit it hard until the weight falls off using the medicine and then move on, rather than prolonging it by force feeding yourself calories or doing the cutting/rest thing. But in the end its your journey and the bottom line is that you are still losing weight and that is what is most important, right?! And you look great, in case you didnt know!

Hey Q, It isn't negativity... It's me trying to make it fun. If you haven't noticed, I have a self-deprecating sense of humor. ❤️ I think maybe your memory is a bit rusty regarding my time on Wegovy. 🤣🤣 I wasn't exercising at all during those 6 months. I didn't start walking until several months in, and even then, it wasn't consistent or frequent. I was eating the same types of food I am now, and I was actually eating significantly more calories even without exercise because I was heavier. Looking back at food diaries, I was even eating out more and eating more calories eating out than I do now. I agree that the weight loss slows as time goes by, but it's strange that it was such a stark drop-off as soon as the medication changed without any other significant changes. I have had weeks here and there where I've taken breaks, but when I've been on, I've done the same things consistently throughout my journey... same kinds of foods... calorie counting... the one SIGNIFICANT change in my diet was increasing my protein in late 2022 while on Mounjaro, which was actually the catalyst to my weight loss increasing. Ultimately, I've had the same thoughts... why can't I just "be strong" and suck it up and never have a day or a few days where I don't think about tracking calories so I can hurry up and just get the weight off. But that kind of thinking has its own destructive trappings. Just because I've lost the weight doesn't mean this lifestyle stops... there is no finish line... so if I can't take the time to enjoy myself in the middle from time to time, then there's a whole other type of disorder happening.

Hello! New subscriber here! I found your channel as I was looking up Wegovy. Just for reference I am a 48-year-old female I am 5‘1“ and I weigh 132 pounds. I am perimenopausal and have actually gained 10 pounds in the last three months. I did lose my father in the beginning of this year. My story is this: I have to take antidepressants, I have depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I take four medication a day. I found out about Wegovy through this med spa I was going to to get Botox last year. I started getting the shot once a week, but only made it to about three or four shots. It made me really sick and fatigued. I even vomited once. Because I keep gaining weight and feel so uncomfortable with my body as my cup size has increased to a size D now! I am considering getting back on the Wegovy shot. I’m a little bit nervous and I’m looking for advice on how to handle side effects. I was getting so sick that I was staying in bed the weekends following the shots. I physically felt horrible, but I was losing weight ( about 8-10 lbs) Any advice on how to handle the nauseousness, gassiness and fatigue would be appreciated. I need to do something because I am so physically uncomfortable with myself. My BMI is within the normal range, but on the higher end. And since I am getting older and live a pretty much sedentary life, I really want to try the shot again. I know I will be exercising and eating differently. I just wonder if anyone else has experienced some uncomfortable symptoms with the Wegovy.

I responded to your other comment but wanted to mention that it may be affecting you so extremely because you aren't in the obese category? I'm not really sure. That's a question I would ask a primary care physician. Also make sure they were giving you the proper dose. If you were getting the injection at the clinic it was probably a compound and you may have had a reaction to something they put in it. The name brand Wegovy will come from a pharmacy in a set of 4 pens.

I was just wondering which is better!!!

Hi Mindy, I really appreciate your explanations of the med differences and the personal experiences you have had on ozempic vs. monjaro. I have been on ozempic for almost 3 years and am at 2mg. What is your current dose on the compound? I am trying to decide whether I should get the higher dose of wegovy or start on monjaro to see if it helps. The biggest thing about this medication for me has been the hunger control, and reduction in food noise. I am trying not to panic at gaining weight but I am committed to staying on the medication as long as it keeps the 40 lbs. off. I just CANNOT GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK - I’m tired of losing the same 40 lbs. over and over again. I am 70 now and have lost that 40 lbs. at least 10 times in my life time.

I was on 2.4 on the compound as well. Once it was covered by my insurance, it was significantly cheaper than purchasing a compound. I have no idea what an ideal weight is for me. I'm the thinnest I've been in 17 years... I'm almost thinner than my husband has ever known me. My first goal is 175... which is definitely still overweight for me... but I will see how I feel when I get there. I don't have any desire to be skinny... just healthy and happy and not in pain.
