Want to share my personal experience related to Weekly injection day thread since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 247 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 87 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Weekly injection day aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this Weekly injection day thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
