Understand what typical progress looks like on Wegovy and Zepbound from week 1 to week 72

In this video, I break down what you can realistically expect from Wegovy and Zepbound when it comes to weight loss, week by week. If you’re wondering how much weight you should be losing by now or feeling frustrated about the slow progress, this video gives you the science-backed truth.

I compare the average weight loss from the STEP-1 (Wegovy) and SURMOUNT-1 (Zepbound) trials to give you a clear idea of what’s typical for both meds. Whether you’re just starting out or feeling stuck, I explain why it’s important to trust the process and not get obsessed with the scale.

I also cover the importance of your lifestyle in achieving lasting results. These medications are tools, but your habits play a big role in your progress. If you’re ready for real, consistent change, this video is for you.

Get a fresh perspective on your weight loss journey—because it’s about progress, not perfection.

Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
