This was really helpful. I’ve been feeling discouraged because my weight loss has been slower than I expected, even though my appetite and portions have changed. Thinking about progress in percentages makes the process feel much more realistic. I’m also documenting my own postpartum Wegovy journey with PCOS, so this really resonated with me.
Thank you so much! I’m still very early in the journey, but writing about it honestly is already helping me see progress differently. I really appreciate the encouragement 🤍
I'm so glad it helped. Percentages give us so much more context than pounds alone. And I love that you're documenting your own journey too. Cheering you on!
This is so helpful. I just realized I have been at this 9months and have lost 15.61% of my body weight. And this is without adding exercise. Feel pretty good about that! I know I have been averaging about a pound a week and that felt slow but I pretty content that it’s right where I need to be!
I am on 10mg of mounjaro and have been for 10 weeks now. I am actually considering going down a dose depending on what my doctor thinks because I have been struggling with explosive 💩 for the last 10 weeks 🤪.
But I am worried I will not lose weight if I go down
First, 15.6% in 9 months is incredible! 🙌 And if the side effects are affecting your quality of life, it's absolutely worth talking through with your doctor. Many people continue losing on a lower dose. The goal is finding the lowest effective dose for you. ❤️
All so fascinating and an important way to - relax! ;) Doing the numbers is interesting. I have already lost 26% of my starting weight, and to reach my "medically healthy" goal would be another 20%. We'll see how that goes. I am absolutely fine with slow and steady as I know this is a lifelong lifestyle. I am actually just 10 lbs from my first GW which was randomly chosen as it's the thinnest I've ever been as an adult, and gets me into non-plus clothing sizes. Fingers crossed, but if everything stopped today, I am so much better off than I was in 2025 (and for the decades leading up to 2025).
Yassss!! I feel exactly the same!! People go on a wl journey only seeing their goal, but they don’t realize how amazing they will feel at just 20% of that goal, or 50% of that goal. It’s not always about getting to the end, it’s about getting somewhere you’ve never been!!
This was so helpful, thank you! I lost exactly the 20% that is in the research but have now plateaued for almost a year. Is it realistic to think I could lose more, having lost the 20%? Or is 20% the maximum? I'm asking because managing my expectations will help enormously in finding the balance I'm looking for going forward.
This is wonderful information. I went in with zero expectations. I still don’t know why or how I lost over 50% of my body weight in a year. Freak of nature 😂

I lost 60 pounds on semaglutide in one year.
How much can I expect to lose for the following year?
Thank you Nyk, I have only just joined and am so thankful that I have found you and your posts. It all makes so much sense now.
Hiii Dianne!! I am so happy you are here!!
Luv this! My number is 3.3/month which is so easier to obtain in my mind. Thank you!

My number is 1.3 pounds per week, which I have not seen. I am down 6.3 pounds since Jan. 1, though.

Loved this deep dive! Makes total sense! My 12 month weight loss is 49 and my monthly weight loss is 4.083
