Tried to search other posts first but didn’t find what I was looking for. Anyone on ozempic how much weight did you lose the first month paired with high protein/low carb diet and working out 3-4x a week? Not looking for other experiences right now. I’m pre-diabetic and diabetes runs in my family.

80 with light exercise and reduced meal size on mounjaro
My husband started it last July. He has only lost about 40lbs since taking it. He uses it to control his sweet tooth due to his diabetes. He hasn’t lost anymore weight, but its helped keep his A1C levels normal.
It is not a safe choice for weight loss

I’m on monjouro. Exercise and diet just weren’t working after a year of doing it consistently. First month on it I didn’t lose much but once I got up to an appropriate dose I dropped 30 pounds in 28 days. I’m down 120 now and have 16 pounds left. Be advised, current studies are showing that once you reach your goal and come off it the weight will baloon back. If you start it, you’re on it forever.
(Most commercial insurance will not cover ozempic for pre-diabetes) I’m on wegovy, same med just prescribed for obesity. I dropped about 8 pounds in the first month. It’s just water weight. Most people do not lose until they reach higher doses though. The lower doses are just to get your body used to the meds. (I started March 31 2024 at 180 pounds. I’ve been maintaining 114 lbs for about a month now)
