[QUOTE="Living-by-the-beach, post: 2486373, member: 128654"] I'm four weeks in and on my 5th dose of Semaglutide. It is not a tough drug to use but I sense I've got the very faint smell of stale diesel in my mouth all the time. I take weekly injections and the drug is known to lower one's weight. I plan on being on the drug for about 1 year to lose about 50lbs and get back to a BMI of low 20's. I think I'll get to my weight loss goal within 4-5 months but then dial back the dosages to wean off the drug. I walk / hike / 20-25 miles a week and I've had steady A1c for 8 years. What is interesting is the parallel of losing weight on this drug, and most of the "Reality TV Weight Loss" shows where they ramp up extreme weight loss. 90+% of contestants most typically regain most of the lost weight post the competition. See here [URL]https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-weight-loss.html[/URL] . There's one thing to losing weight then there's another to keeping the weight off. I am going to concentrate on titrating down for many months at lower dosages To give myself a permanent shot at putting T2DM completely in my rear-view mirror. The "Step" study said when you came off the Semaglutide you'd put the weight back on... We'll see. There's a couple of dedicated websites for Ozempic / and Semaglutide out there.
