“When I began trying to get healthier in 2022, my starting weight was 300.6 pounds (47.8 BMI, 5 feet 6 inches). I lost around 30 pounds on my own through diet alone, then started Ozempic in June 2023 at 270 pounds. I never went above 0.5 mg. I maintained a caloric deficit of 350 calories below maintenance and started exercising to get as much bang for my buck as I could \u2014 hour-long, three-mile walks daily and a weight-lifting routine three times a week. By the time I stopped taking Ozempic, I had reached 226.2 pounds. Since then, I hit 210 pounds in August, but I’m now, very happily, 22 weeks pregnant, so I’ve scaled back my workout routine to walking four times a week. I’m not dieting anymore, but I’m continuing to eat mindfully and healthily. I should mention that I was specifically taking Ozempic to lose weight because I was diagnosed with NAFLD, on top of dealing with PCOS since I was a young teen, which had made weight loss incredibly difficult and slow.”<\/p>\n

“Stopping Ozempic, for me, wasn’t the end of the world<\/a> because of all the good habits I’ve developed over the past two years and four months. I also learned how to control and combat the food noise that I never even knew I was experiencing. Overall, my relationship with food and exercise is worlds better than it was before, and my liver levels are back within a healthy range, as if I never had NAFLD at all.”<\/p>\n
