Running sema slower than the standard schedule on purpose. I'm not in a hurry, I want to minimize side effects, and I lose weight easily without dropping muscle so the slowest dose is fine.

36F, 5'7", 168 lb, goal 150.

Stack:

  • Semaglutide 0.25mg/week — holding, not titrating
  • 12 weeks

Lifting 3x/week, protein 130g/day.

Week 2: 166.0. Minor nausea days 1-2. Lost half a pound a week is fine by me.

People don't realize 0.25 long-term works. It's the manufacturer who wants you climbing the dose.

Week 12: 156.9. Down 11.1 total. Will hold 0.25 until 150 then cut to 0.125 for maintenance.

12 weeks and no muscle loss signal is the proof. Nice.
