SEMAGLUTIDE JOURNEY RECAP // How I lost 30 lbs in 3 months, milestones, challenges + sustainability
Patient story
Our summary
Keisha Pettway-Eaves recaps her time on semaglutide, which she says ran from October 2024 to mid January 2025, about 14 weeks. She says she lost 30 lb in that time, going from 185 lb to 155 lb. She explains she had yo-yo dieted for years, and that her reasons for starting were mostly appearance, plus wanting to feel better about her body before trying to get pregnant after her September wedding.

What else the video covers
She describes nausea, food aversions, fatigue and fewer cravings in the first two to three weeks, with few symptoms afterward. She says she started at 10 units, moved to 20 units after about 3 weeks, and stayed there. She reports losing 5 lb in week one, then 2 to 3 lb per week, while eating roughly 1,300 to 1,500 calories a day and tracking them in the Lose It app. She says she shifted toward non-scale measures such as how clothes fit and progress photos. She notes that everyone responds differently and recommends talking to a doctor.
She says she had no plateaus, and that an untracked honeymoon week and a difficult November still did not stop her losing weight. She says the main lessons were consistency and moving away from all-or-nothing thinking. She reports that she stopped tracking, eats at home about 85% of the time, exercises about four times a week, and weaned off over roughly two weeks in January. Her one regret is not starting sooner, and she says she plans to maintain until trying for a baby.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- GLP-1 muscle loss: how much of the weight is muscle, and what protects it
On semaglutide or tirzepatide, roughly a quarter to two fifths of the weight you lose is lean mass rather than fat: 25% in tirzepatide's SURMOUNT-1 scan substudy, and 25% to 39% across 20 randomised trials. That share is close to what diet-only weight loss costs. Lean mass is not all muscle, and strength held up in the shorter trials. Resistance training cut the lean share to 17.5% in the pooled trials, and expert groups pair it with enough protein.
- Tirzepatide vs semaglutide: the head-to-head result, and what the better one costs
They were finally tested against each other. In SURMOUNT-5, 751 adults with obesity took the maximum tolerated dose of one or the other for 72 weeks: tirzepatide lost 20.2% of body weight, semaglutide 13.7%. That gap is real and it is the whole argument for tirzepatide. The other half of the decision is the bill: compounded tirzepatide runs from $85 a month on our board against $69 for semaglutide, and the branded gap is wider still.
- 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.
