The long answer: You’re likely not doing anything wrong. While everyone will lose weight at a different rate, if you don’t see much change over the first month on a GLP-1, be patient. The journey is measured in months not days. The initial effects of being on a GLP-1 are generally feeling a reduction in appetite and increased satiety (or feeling of fullness). Some individuals may experience a slight weight loss within the first 4 weeks of starting semaglutide but weight loss is likely modest in the early stages. . A few reasons why this could be happening: 1️⃣ Your dose is still titrating – glp-1 medications are often introduced gradually to reduce side effects. During this time, you might not yet be at a dose that your body fully responds to. 2️⃣ Your body needs time to adjust – Weight loss is rarely immediate. In the first few weeks, your body is adapting to the medication, and changes like appetite suppression and increased satiety (feeling of fullness) might take time to show results on the scale. 3️⃣ Weight loss isn’t just about the scale – early results often show up as improvements in how you feel – like more energy and reduced cravings – before noticeable changes in weight. Focus on the non-scale victories as signs the medication is working. To stay motivated, focus on: : 👟Celebrating non-scale victories like improved energy and fewer cravings 👟Stick to your medication schedule, as prescribed 👟Incorporate small, manageable lifestyle changes like balanced meals and increased activity 👟Speak to your physician
