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.

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

Did you measure body comp at baseline and week 12 or just going off scale weight? Because 11 lbs in 12 weeks at that dose is honestly not much different than what someone eating at a deficit would drop naturally, so hard to say if the sema was actually doing the heavy lifting here or if it's just the calorie deficit you're running.
