What else the video covers
She explains that she used Saxenda from February until about August, then stopped mainly because she could not find a supply. After meeting with her doctor, she switched to Wegovy. She says she was given a choice between Mounjaro and Wegovy, and that she did not meet the diabetes requirements for Mounjaro. She says she started on the 1.7 dose and skipped 0.5 and 1.0, because she could not find them and because Saxenda was already in her system. She adds that her doctor was comfortable with that.
Using a tracking app linked to her scale, she reports losing 5 lbs in week one, 4 lbs in week two, 3 lbs in week three and 1.4 lbs in week four, for a total of 13.4 lbs. She says she did not exercise or diet, apart from eating less as the medication leads to. She mentions she is now seeing a dietitian. She also says she paused Wegovy for about a month around Thanksgiving and the holidays and did not regain weight, which she takes to mean the medication stays in the body a while. She plans to restart the week of Christmas and post weekly updates.

- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
- Generic liraglutide in 2026: every approved Victoza and Saxenda generic, what it costs, and how it compares
Generic liraglutide is real and widely approved: FDA lists eight generics of Victoza (for type 2 diabetes) and three of Saxenda (for weight loss), plus Teva's authorized generic. Pharmacies pay about $739 for 30 days of the Saxenda-dose generic, 43% less than Saxenda itself, according to Medicaid's NADAC survey of 14 October 2026. Novo stops shipping Saxenda in January 2027. Per pound lost, the weekly GLP-1s now cost less.
- 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.
