HOW I LOST 75 LBS IN 1 YEAR | WEIGHT LOSS PCOS, WEGOVY, BODY DYSMORPHIA, REGRETS, HITTING A PLATEAU
Our summary
Jasmine Airdelle marks one year on GLP-1 medication. She says she began in May 2023 at about 210 lbs and now sits between 133 and 135 lbs, a loss of roughly 75 to 76 lbs. She says most of it came off in the first 7 months, with little change in the last 3 or so while she focused on building muscle. She has PCOS, which she says makes weight easy to gain and hard to lose, and she describes years of back pain that she says disappeared after the bulk of the weight came off.

What else the video covers
She says she started with semaglutide from an online provider because her doctor had no opening until August, then moved to Wegovy. She is on 2.4 mg, which she describes as the highest dose. Her biggest regret, she says, was eating far too little and training hard for the first 3 to 4 months out of fear the drug would stop working, which she says meant starting muscle building from scratch. She later raised her calories and protein. She reports headaches that went away after the switch to Wegovy, and constipation that she links to her low food intake. She says she handled it with more water, fiber, warm lemon water, a squatty potty and walking, and that her doctor told her to stop a magnesium supplement.
She also talks about lingering body dysmorphia and clothes shopping, and says her confidence rose only after losing weight. She says she has reached a plateau and no longer has the appetite reduction. At her next visit, expected in July or August, she plans to discuss spacing out doses and eventually tapering off, not stopping abruptly, according to her doctor. She also reports a regular 28 day cycle for the first time, and says her doctor was unsure whether the medication is the cause.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- GLP-1s for PCOS: what the guideline allows, what the trials show, and what it costs
No GLP-1 is FDA approved for PCOS. The 2023 International PCOS Guideline says liraglutide and semaglutide could be considered for higher weight in adults with PCOS, alongside lifestyle changes. The trials agree on weight: a 2026 review of 11 randomized trials showed a modest BMI drop. Effects on periods, hair growth and hormones are less certain, and the guideline keeps fertility use to research settings. Stop semaglutide 2 months before trying to conceive.
- GLP-1 hair loss: what is actually going on
Hair shedding on a GLP-1 is real, and the labels now count it: 3.3% of people on Wegovy 2.4 mg and 5.8% on 7.2 mg, against 1% on placebo, most of them women. Wegovy's and Zepbound's labels both say it was associated with weight reduction. Rapid weight loss is a long-recognised trigger for a temporary shedding phase, after bariatric surgery and crash dieting too. Two things make it more likely: how fast you are losing, and whether you eat enough protein and micronutrients.
- 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.
