How long does it take to lose weight on Wegovy? While individual results vary based on factors like starting weight, dosage, and diet quality, clinical trials suggest that Wegovy users lose an average of 15% of their total body weight over 68 weeks (about 16 months).

In the first month, most people experience a noticeable drop in appetite, leading to mild weight loss, typically around 5-10 pounds. However, much of this early weight loss is water weight rather than significant fat loss, as the body adjusts to eating less.

By Month 3, weight loss starts becoming more consistent and noticeable, with many users reporting a total loss of 10-20 pounds at this stage. The medication is now at a higher dose, meaning appetite suppression and metabolic changes are more pronounced.

By Month 6 and beyond, Wegovy users who follow a high-protein diet and maintain regular activity can expect to have lost 15-25% of their starting weight. For example, someone starting at 250 pounds could see a reduction of 37-62 pounds over this period.
