Hey everyone!
I’m Andrei, 37, from Salt Lake City. Been in tech most of my life and let’s just say the combo of desk work and bad habits caught up to me.

I started semaglutide 6 weeks ago (0.25mg from a local clinic). Down 8 lbs so far. Biggest change has been less food craving and better focus. Energy’s slowly coming back too.

I joined this forum to learn more and swap notes. Glad to be here.

Welcome 🙂
Glad you are on track and great start!
Save all that cash your not spending on food for your new wardrobe 😎

Haha, thanks! I didn’t expect the food savings to add up so fast, but you’re totally right. Might finally upgrade from my “pre-weight-loss” jeans stash soon 😅 Appreciate the welcome!

take your time on the upgrade.
When I started my goal weight was 185, i did not think less was possible for my frame.
I weighed in at 160 this morning.
I was hoping for 34 waist, just bought a pair of 30-
If you combine the miracle of these drugs with a plan and discipline, the drugs make everything easier!
For me there was a curve on energy, but it is coming back now in force.
Keep reading, keep driving that pea down the sidewalk, you will get to where you want to be.

That's awesome! from 185 down to 160 is no joke, also dropping to a 30 waist, wow! I’m just getting started, but I’ll definitely keep what you said in mind. Thanks!

I would have been absolutely stoked to be at 185 a few years ago, it just keeps working.
I started at 226. been hovering 160-163 last 11 weeks. I thought i was big boned like my friend in my avatar.
Don't buy the new clothes too soon 🙂

Oh wow! That's impressive! Would definitely hold off in buying new clothes, seems like the scale's not done moving yet. 😉
