If you’re thinking about starting semaglutide (a GLP-1 medication) for weight loss, one of the first questions that comes up is: “How much weight can I actually lose?”
The short answer: a lot — safely and steadily.
Semaglutide has been shown to help patients lose an average of 10–15% of their total body weight, with some seeing even greater results under medical supervision.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it mimics a natural hormone your body already makes to regulate appetite and blood sugar.
It helps you:
When paired with lifestyle changes and medical oversight, semaglutide becomes one of the most effective and sustainable weight-loss tools available today.
Results can vary by person, but here’s what research and real-world patient experiences show:
In the STEP-1 clinical trial, patients taking semaglutide lost an average of 33 pounds (15 kg) over 68 weeks — more than triple the results seen with diet and exercise alone.
Most people notice early changes within the first few weeks, including reduced hunger and more mindful eating.
By months 2–3, visible progress often becomes clear — and by 6–12 months, patients commonly see major transformation both physically and emotionally.
Semaglutide dosing increases slowly over time to help your body adjust and minimize side effects like nausea or fatigue.
This step-up schedule is one reason semaglutide is both safe and sustainable, rather than a “quick fix.”

Intro: It might sound simple, but hydration is one of the most overlooked parts of a successful GLP-1’s journey. Because medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide slow digestion and sometimes blunt thirst cues, many people accidentally end up drinking less water than their body needs—leading to constipation, fatigue, and headaches.
When you first begin GLP-1s treatment, with medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, it’s normal to experience a few digestive changes—after all, these medications work by slowing how quickly your stomach empties. But certain foods can make those effects feel much stronger, leading to nausea, bloating, or discomfort.
One of the biggest surprises for many people starting GLP-1s medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is how different eating feels. Suddenly, your appetite is smaller, your meals are lighter, and you might even forget to eat at times. While that can sound like a win, it also means your body may not always get the nutrition or steady energy it needs throughout the day. That’s where smart snacking comes in.
