Patient story
Our summary
Koi, who runs the Keep Up With Koi channel, gives a weekly update after a little over 16 weeks on the Wegovy pill. She says she moved from the 25 mg dose back down to the 9 mg dose in her last update, and this video covers how that change went. On May 11th she weighed 258 lb, and on May 18th, 2026 she weighed 257.8 lb. She says she is not surprised by the lack of loss and still counts the week as a point for herself. She also shows her waist beads, which she says sit in about the same spot, though she feels her shirt is a little looser.

What else the video covers
Koi says that after dropping to 9 mg her body seemed to be adjusting, and she had hunger pains on a couple of days, got hungry more often, and had some sugar cravings. She says she can manage this until her body settles on 9 mg, and that she is not ready to go back to the side effects she had at 25 mg. She notes that she still filled up quickly at meals, often eating a small part of a meal and finishing the rest a few hours later. She adds that she ate out more than usual that week, including a Dairy Queen trip while her mom was visiting. She also says she has started walking outside on a track instead of using the gym treadmill, finds it harder, and plans to do cardio outdoors and strength training in the gym.
Koi describes her goals and her view on staying on the medication. She says she now thinks of this as a fitness effort and not only weight loss. She says she has lost 25 lb in total. She does not plan to take the pill forever, and intends to use it until she reaches her goal weight, then come off gradually while keeping her eating habits and activity. At 5'10, she says a normal BMI would be about 170 to 175 lb, and she may decide to stay somewhere under 200 lb depending on how she looks and feels.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
- How long do Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound take to work? The label calendar and the trial timepoints
GLP-1s act from the first dose, but the labels start low on purpose and step up every 4 weeks, so most people do not reach a full dose for 3 to 5 months. Each dose reaches steady levels in the blood after about 4 to 5 weeks. In the trials, people averaged 10.6% weight loss after 20 weeks of Wegovy's escalation and 20.9% after 36 weeks of Zepbound, with the full trial results at 68 to 72 weeks. For type 2 diabetes, Ozempic's A1C results were measured at week 30.
- GLP-1 constipation, nausea, diarrhoea and fatigue: the label numbers, and what the labels say to do
The four gut effects are the four most common side effects of every GLP-1, and the labels put numbers on them. On Wegovy 2.4 mg: nausea 44%, diarrhoea 30%, constipation 24%, vomiting 24%, fatigue 11%, against 16%, 16%, 11%, 6% and 5% on placebo. On Zepbound at 15 mg: nausea 28%, diarrhoea 23%, constipation 11%, vomiting 13%, fatigue 7%. They cluster around dose increases, they are the reason 6.8% of Wegovy patients and up to 6.7% of Zepbound patients stopped, and both labels prescribe the same fix: climb slower.
