40s M, 5’11, SW 255, GW 200?

I’ve been overwieght almost my entire life. One summer in elementary school my weight shot way up and it’s been high ever since. I’ve been on every diet, have always done sports, hit the gym regularly, and am generally active, but I’ve never been able to keep it off long, or even make it down to a “normal” BMI, generally floating somewhere between overweight and obese. Over the last two years, my weight has started climbing at a pound or two a month and I haven’t been able to stop it.

I took my first dose of semaglutide tonight, after trying to get a hold of it for the last six months. My insurance denied me said I had to join Weight Watchers for six months. Then, two months ago I was laid off. But, a couple of my friends have had success with one of the compounding pharms, so I though I’d give them a try. My partner also did the same thing, and took their first dose last week. Here’s hoping that this is the change I’ve needed!
