[Results] 61 weeks, 34kg, one very boring spreadsheet

Results Slow Clap ×5 Receipts ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 0.25mg to 10mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 18 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have reflux I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 39 reads it before doing the same thing.

This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 43.

How long were you at 1.7mg before you moved up?

titration speed is Ozempic plus side effects, period

the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

Lost 35kg and gained a genuinely irritating amount of interest in analytical chemistry. This site did that to me.

This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

France here. Waited 20 months on an NHS list, gave up, went private, and the cost was half what I expected but the admin was worse.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

Small correction: the trial was 23 weeks, not 38. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

c/semaglutide rules
  1. No requests for a personal dose recommendation — describe what you did, not what someone else should do.
  2. Results posts need a timeframe and a starting point, or they get removed as unverifiable.
  3. Brand, compounded and research-grade material are all on-topic. Sourcing requests are not — that is c/vendorvetting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
